Hearing they are naming a Coach sometime soon; interviews were held and decision being made.

Pending who gets the job, how many kids will leave other schools to be at North?

I can't confirm any of that, but speaking of Carroll County, I think this would be a good landing spot for current Carroll County HC Lonnie Oldham.  He was an assistant coach there a few years back under Coach Gamsky, then was the DC at Oldham County before becoming the HC at Carroll County last year.  North Oldham has found a way to win in every other sport (baseball, basketball, wrestling, cross country, etc.) so why not football?

 North Oldham was actually pretty successful at football during Billy Martin's tenure as coach, from 2006-2015.   While Martin's first team lost all ten games it played, his next nine teams went 68-39 overall, and were a regular in the Top 10.   Overall, 7 of his 10 teams had winning records, including 10-2 in 2008, 9-3 in 2011, 9-4 in 2013, and 10-3 in 2014, when the Mustangs were 6 seconds from the state championship game before Owensboro's Hail Mary pass at the horn was tipped into a receiver's hands for the winning score in a 27-24 semi-final game.

No other coach before or since Martin has had a winning record at North, however.    Beno Chappel coached the team to three wins and a first-round playoff loss in its first year (2003), Pete Williams struggled mightily with roster numbers and went 4-16 over two years (2004-5) and failed to reach the playoffs - then Martin had his successful 10-year run - followed by Joe Gamsky (2016-2020) and Jamie Brown (2021-2).     

I thought Brown was doing a tremendous job in Goshen; the Mustangs' defense was excellent, but the offense hadn't quite caught up yet.     The team went 4-6 in the regular season, won its first round playoff game, before falling to Central in round 2.   They were competitive in regular season losses to powerhouse Great Crossing (a 12-0 loss), to Holy Cross (10-7), and to Nelson County (17-7) and had every right to be disappointed that they didn't finish the regular season 6-4 or 7-3.   

In short, the improvement was there over the past two seasons....the Mustang faithful will undoubtedly be hoping to find someone who can continue the upward trend and return North to the kind of success they once found.

When did 8-3 make someone a powerhouse? Is Great Crossing a powerhouse ? For real dog? Great Crossing?

"Dog?"

For real?

I see you're new here....please re-read the post.

Nobody said North Oldham was a "powerhouse."   I said that they were "pretty successful" - and they were, with regular appearances in the Top 10 rankings.   I think most would concede that's a pretty fair accomplishment.

As for Great Crossing - well, the fact is that the Warhawks were a Top 10 team all last season.   Obviously, someone thought that they were a pretty fair team.  Are you saying Top 10 status isn't enough to be designated a "powerhouse" in that particular season?   I would say that anyone who holds a Top 10 ranking merits being called a "powerhouse" that year....IMO

Great Crossing beat 1 team with a winning record. There 3 losses against good teams, Scott Co, Douglas, Cov Cath, they lost 118-0. Not a powerhouse. 
 

I know North Oldham isn’t one.
