Lucas may have decided look elsewhere. With his credentials, he would be welcomed in all school systems.

 

Wolfe proves building a successful football program in the public system can be done in Jefferson County. There is a limited amount of talent to go around based on population.

It is easier to build a program when you are a traditional school and you have access to any out of district athelete. Male's freshman teams have been almost unbeatable the past 4 years and it's not because of Wolfe, it's because they have access to talent that the other public schools don't.

Every public school in Jefferson county has access to out of boundary talent. That and the boundaries are imaginary anyway. Just look at Waggener this year.

This just is not entirely true. Male has been limited to students from the three traditional middle schools, which the Bulldogs share with Butler Traditional. There are a few kids that get in outside but hasn't been a large number in fact only a few (less than a handful) players on the team did not suit up for Johnson, Barret, or Jefferson County Traditional.

 

The current senior class was loaded with talent. The junior class is just as large in terms of numbers but not talent. The sophomores and freshmen have head the same coaches on the freshman level. It may not be Wolfe's doing but the freshman have run the varsity schemes on both offense and defense. And to the program's credit, the frost have gone undefeated the last two years and the JV have only lost two in that time frame (both to Trinity).

Regarding the freshmen numbers at Manual, I was quite surprised to hear that they only have 15 and 19 football players in the last 2 freshmen classes. I would have thought more.

 

And another comment about Fern Creek, I'm happy for any team that enjoys some success, but Fern Creek has the 28th highest enrollment (There's (32) 6A schools) yet they play 5A. Call me old school, but I want to see Fern Creek be successful with the big boys like they used to do, instead of lowering their standards.

I no several kids that went to Catholic grade school and got excepted to Male and Manual. Actually one of the young men was excepted because he was a good soccer player.

I no several kids that try to go out of district to Eastern high school and were turned down.

I know that your examples have nothing to do with the validity of my statement.

I think he is fixated on the Harpers.

Okay than why do all the other public schools football teams suck, maybe because they don't have the same access to the talent, like you say. My point

Not having the same talent is not the same as not having the same access. By your logic why are there bad college teams?

They do not have the same access, Male and Manual do not have district they have feeder schools,and the option to take other students that qualify of their choice to fill out their student body. I mentioned Eastern, because I am familiar with their enrollment rules, they take all district students and only a select number of openings for out of district. Both of my children went there and had several of their friends get turned down and was told to stay In their district. In college your are not stuck in a district, you can play wherever you want. In JCPS you have to play in your district unless you get special permission. Another example, my nephew, a decent football player, wanted to go to another out of district school was denied, and made to go to school in his district.
