I thought that in the pre-season this is just about where the Pioneers were predicted to be. The story on them was that they had a high power offense and not that great of a defense. That is pretty much how it has unfolded.

Coach Marksberry said that Scott didn't want to play them, and he was not happy about it.

I am disappointed that Scott is not playing SK for the next two years. I love the rivalry between the two schools. I do believe that for Scott to build a program they need to step back for a little while and schedule teams more on their own level. The new division that they are in has Highlands, Covington Catholic, and Dixie. I don't see them being competitive with those teams anytime soon. Going out and looking for 6A schools (SK has 500 more students than Scott) to get beat by isn't a way to build a program. It's just adding more misery to the situation. Scott needs a chance to compete with other schools on their level and work their way up. I know it will hurt the two teams gate revenues for the next couple of years, but I fully anticipate the rivalry to resume in a couple of years.

Coach M has done a great job there and will continue to do so as long as he is given that opportunity. No else has been willing to stay there and build a winner. He is doing that. Evidenced by the furst back to back winning seasons assuming he beats Scott.

Will this year's lack of playoff achievement hurt his cause?

How close are you to the program? Because I'm pretty sure that Coach M has applied for a job elsewhere in the past.

I doubt it, in my opinion the administration at SK really doesn't have a lot of care for sports. With a winning record they will look at it as a successful season, but anyone around the program knows that it really was a disappoinment.
