Wow, I hope Mr. James is already studying for this test.

That is a big first game. I like it, he has nothing to lose. Highlands is obviously supposed to lose to the returning champs, Bowling Green. Bowling Green will have limited tape on James Coaching at Highlands. Bowling Green graduates most of their playmakers on offense. Perfect set up. James seems like the kind of guy that knows how to get after it and get the kids excited, ready and believing in themselves. 

Here are two scores that would have me excited about Coach James if I were a Highlands fan.

10/24 Central 18 Franklin County 16

11/27 Franklin County 42 Central 6

Any news on hiring coaches to fill out his staff? I'm sure the players are itching to get back to offseason workouts.

From what I gather this is in process.

Rumor around Frankfort today is Coach James has decided to not go to Highlands and return to Franklin County.

That would be an interesting turn of events.

From what I have seen about Coach James, that would be out of character for him.

That's a wild rumor to circulate. 

Just what I am hearing from folks that work in Franklin County Public Schools. If its not true I will own that but its definitely going around.

I think I would check and re-check the sources of this kind of rumor before posting them, but that's just me. That kind of rumor can be extremely damaging to someone's reputation.
