Who smoked LCA in the playoffs? If you consider 26-2 with the two loses being by 3 total points in the finals with a chance to win in the final minutes being smoked then you have an extremely high bar lol. The entire post is about Lexington football appears to be making the moves so that the level of competition will rise. You can't tell me that out of Clay, Creek, Lafayette and Station that there is not enough talent that if it's developed right can be in the picture year in and year out. 

Did I say LCA got smoked? I was speaking to the overall landscape of Lexington football in previous years.

Sounds like jealousy to me. What size shirt do you wear I'll send you an Eagles football T shirt. If you don't like my post don't read them it's very simple. But obviously you read them because you can recite all the stats. Don't worry there are a lot more to come. #closeteaglefan 

Jealous of what? 2 more rings and 2 more trophies in the trophy case? Complete lack of understanding of the world that surrounds  you. Seriously--do you not realize what your arrogance sounds like? 

By all means, please continue to pretend that everything is great with all of your D1 players ... I guess I am sitting here ... still waiting for the Lexington teams in question to realize that your arrogance and constant chest thumping hasn't produced anything other than an individualistic approach to a very team oriented sport. 

This jealousy garbage is the exact reason why you constantly post about "D1 talent" -- you can't the "TEAM" part figured out .... so you brag about the only thing that you have left. 

Take things however you want -- the last thing I remember about the 2021 football season is that the team that wasn't bragging about "D1 talent" was holding up the trophy (and in more than one class). 

By all means continue down this road -- it just makes it easier once the season starts.

Good call -- Pretty sure the score from the last two seasons: 

Beechwood 2 State Championships

LCA 0 State Championships (But a whole lot of D1 athletes!!!!!)

Who is thumping their chest again? 

 

Lets go a little further -- State Championship Match ups

Beechwood 3 State Championships

LCA 0 State Championships

But that's okay -- please talk about wearing a BW letter jacket from 25 years ago all you want -- if it gets you to realize that the goal is to win championships -- not to brag about D1 talent. (Then again--you would actually have to WIN a state championship ... not holding my breath there).

No doubt BW has a great program. You are quick to thump that chest lol (in your letter jacket, in your mom's basement still waiting for some girl named Debbie to ask you to the Saddies dance) Move on brother there is life after high school football. The fact that your so fired up over this is comical and too easy to ignore.

Wow. That may be the most obtuse post I have ever read on BGP. Are there any mirrors in your house?

Plenty. Far from perfect. Just tired of being chastised over bragging about the success of athletes and a team just because of a trophy. 

Please take it to private messages guys. 

My dad can beat up your dad!

Funny how I am not fired up at all (why would I be fired up?--Nothing here to be upset about other than the fact that it seems like all of these great Lexington programs are never really going to get it -- which actually makes my life incredibly happy--and makes my future outlook just as sunny). 

You know--it takes a real tough guy to say things like this over the internet -- the best part is -- its basic projection. You have one thing to talk about. We get it. 

If you go back to my original response to your first post -- do you not realize that the number of D1 athletes just makes it easier for people to question what the priorities are for the program(s) that you are speaking about?

Does it not occur to you, that while you are bragging about D1 athletes, that there maybe kids in these programs who may be getting frustrated -- because there is more of an emphasis on D1 athletes -- than there is on TEAM accomplishments?

This was supposed to be related to Lexington programs getting with it ... so you really think that acquiring D1 athletes is what makes a great coach? 

Or, is maybe the coaching is not so great -- since a few of these Lexington powerhouse teams can't find a way to win the big game with all that D1 talent. (Pretty sure the kids consider it more than just "a trophy"). 

So--say what you will -- until you actually address the question above -- its just more bluster to go with the arrogance that you show time and time again. Winning championships is the goal -- not bragging about D1 talent.

My original post did not mention D1 at all. See below. You inserted your opinion that you have made on several occasions regarding my "chest thumping" about college football and RPI. I state facts and the fact that LCA has had success is not bragging. Do LCA staff and players hurt from losing two titles by 3 points? Absolutely, but they also know that there is more to football than a trophy because that's the way they are coached. They are coached to servant leaders, to do well in the classroom and to be the best version of them they can be. Do they fall short? Absolutely, no one is perfect but it's those short comings that prepare them for life. The fact that a kid plays football on the next level should be celebrated and I will continue to brag on them every change I get. If you don't like it don't read it. But I won't stand by and let you chastise their program because they fell short in what arguably have been the best two games at Kroger field in quite some times. There are a lot of kids who would love to play for Coach Charles just like Coach McPeek and in your case Coach Rash. It's not about D1 it's about playing in the best programs and being successful and having the right platform to prepare you for the next level if that's your goal. If a team is full of alpha dogs the little dogs either join another pack or take notes from the alpha dogs on they become one. I can tell you that Coach Charles is 100% about team as is McPeek as is Hoskins. The fact that we/they have come up short in the "big" game is no indication that they are not good coaches and their goals are skewed. It simply means that on that given day the better team won. No matter how many college players, super seniors or Mr. Footballs were on the field. 

It seems that Lexington Schools are starting take things serious and putting the right leaders in the right spots to make Lexington football relevant again. Obviously programs like LCA w/ Doug Charles and FD with McPeek have had the right guys in for a while, but Bryan Station with Hoskins, Lafayette with Atchley and LC bringing in Bathiany from the college ranks are showing that these schools are tired of losing. I don't know much about the TC hire from within and I feel that Henry Clay needs some changes but overall it seems things are trending in the right direction. A ton of talent in the area just needs the right leadership. Last but not least Sayre and Chad Pennington have put dubs on the board early and often in their short existence.
