The Ironmen are Allstar teams formed out of the EAYF mentioned above. They only play tournaments at the end of the season.

The Etown Panther football teams are the ones that play in the MKYFC. 
 

Radcliff does have a couple teams that play. They seem to bounce around to different leagues. Seems to be lots of infighting every yr amongst those teams which leads to new teams being formed etc. Same reason the North Hardin league ended up dissolving 

all that infighting and parental issues seems to spill over the the NH team as well.... talk about the need for a culture overhaul!  it was that way and has been for years well back into the NHYFL.  When I was a NH you had kids still clinging to their NHYFL team and loyal to those teams!

Bump. Would say this is currently the most sought after job?

Principal and AD but I’m going to venture a guess that the new SI will have some input. He’s a sports guy and I’m sure he wants to make sure they get this right.

Any idea when Etown will fill the position?

Last I heard they are keeping the position posted until February.

Must not have had anyone they like apply. Puts the new hire behind 2-3 months.

If a school has posted a position since November but is going to leave it posted until February, they’re not serious about the hire. Seems like precious time!

They could also just have the mindset to wait to see what shakes out after the first of the year. I can imagine we have not seen the finish line when it comes to open positions in the state. I still think this has to be a homerun hire with this difficult district and the construction taking place on 65S.

Yes it does.  Especially if no other applications come in.

Correct.  The job hasn't been posted 30 days yet. Everyone is just anxious to see who lands where. Myself included.

What is the average turnover rate, 35-40 a year? I’d say for Kentucky, we’re well over halfway of positions coming open. Unless there is a major surprise, I don’t see any being as attractive as this one. I do think they need to make the right hire or they’ll begin to see athletes moving around. It was made clear in the summer that the interim coach was just that, and the job would open at the conclusion of the year.

Does anyone know who's the top candidate/applicants for this job are? I saw Morton mentioned in a different thread that he may be interested?

[LC-Flyboy]

Bump... has anyone heard who the leading candidates for this job are? All I'm hearing out of Etown is crickets! 

[UKBaseball85]

Bump. Any news in ETown?

[LC-Flyboy]

Everything is being kept quiet.  🤔

IMO they either haven't had an application that jumps off the page at them or they have and are working out all the details.  Some schools take longer than others in making decisions.... right or wrong!!
