This needs to be considered, when coaches(head coaches)from our area teams cannot understand the vote and some flat out disagree with it wouldnt you say there is something wrong. It is hard to explain how one feels when talking to the Russell, Ashland, Johnson Central, etc.. Coaches and they say the say thing that is being said on here. Does people dispute their own coaches. I still say Congradulations to the boys that made it. My opinion stands on record that some other boys should have got a look. They earned it. If no one believes me than by all means go to your coaches and ask about these kids. They will tell you the same.

I don't need to pm you.

 

I never did advise you on what to post.

 

You state everyones opinion matters but then continue to question them. It is the same double talk.

 

As much as you saw most of these players.

Then I will tell you in public, which I would prefer to do anyway.

You advised that I need to not be so defensive in my post. Sounds like to me that is in reference to what I posted. You are correct on one thing for a change, I did post that everyone opinion matters, I always have and I always will. My post speak for themselves so I don't need to explain them to you. As I also mentioned earlier I started this thread to give Kasey Clark his due so I will refrain from any further post that are personal and not on topic.

:thumb: Good post.

Anyone know if Kasey has narrowed his choices as to what schools he will consider or what position he wants to play. He is very talented and seems to have many options as to what position he will play. It is a very good problem to have.

I think we should be careful. I talked to two of the players yesterday after the paper had come out and their comments stated that I guess we are not good enough. I guess it wouldnt have mattered if we would have won state. They read these posts and I would be discouraged too. I wished everyone would take a deep breath(me included) and say a little prayer for these boys that they do not give up. That they remember its not about awards its about the love of the game. The friends they made from the other schools. Its one paper. Its one opinion. Your memories and what you do will last a life-time.

Actually what you post is your own business. I simply suggested that you not get so upset when somebody feels differently than you do.

:thumb: And again well said!! All the kids deserve the best and as you said the memories they made will be theirs for a lifetime.

FBALL,

I have seen all these kids play in our area. From what I observed Wills & Forrest were the two best LB in the area. Tackett and Davis were very good also. I have been around alot of football and it always seems that this area never gets any love from the media. I think we will see more of these guys make the coaches' all state team.

 

Back to the Thread. Congrats to Casey!! He is a very deserving player. I think he will be playing on Saturdays next year on the defensive side of the ball.

I agree with everything you just said. Fields Davis is right there as well.

:thumb: I agree, like I said in my earlier post, all of ther mentioned kids are excellent football players. I just don't think that there is any better linebacker in the area that J.T. Forrest at Raceland. I think that the coaches that coached/played against him would have no problem in agreeing with that. I also 100% agree with you that our area of NEKY and EKY doesn't get the respect that it should............never has.

Wills, Tackett, Johnson, Davis

Maybe on the same level but I stand by my statement of none better than Forrest.

As far as what OldRambler said, I believe his words meant Forrest was in these guys league as far as LB. Also, if you ask people like OldRambler where he gets his facts or information from and he will tell you its from the coaches from the other teams. Ashland, Russell, etc.. have all mentioned kids like Forrest. Its not just a homer thing.

:thumb: Thank you oldram, I do talk to various people on these things and from what I know and can see for myself. I can tell you that there were many in the Lexington area raving about Forrest, Grizzle and Thompson from Raceland - Beach was also mentioned favorably.

Thanks Rambler for your support of Kasey, I will keep you informed and up to date when he makes a decision.

:thumb: No proble at all UKCF, I know what kind of player AND person that Kesey is. I respect your post on bgp and opinions/knowledge of the game.

I saw most that you mentioned. However you didn't answer my question. Not being defensive, nor do I need you to advise me on what I post. I only asked a question, It doesn't matter if others opinion may differ from my own, if you have read my previous post you will see I stated that, everyones opinion matters on this message board, if not it would not exist. Ask any coach who saw Forrest play against them and you will get your answere. Let's get back to the thread topic that I originally started. PM me if need be!!

Cville it is best just to ignore some people, I shouldn't talk bc I still have to respond at times. However, some will spin it back to you and all along are contradicting themselves and what they have posted earlier. :sleep: :sleep: :sleep: : I'll bet those of us who don't know everything really irritate those that "think" that they do.

You asked the question. I answerd it. I stand by my answer.

 

Please show me where I have contradicted myself.
