Welcome to BGP @Big Shot Bob!

Should be an exciting year for Walton! For those who don’t know, Walton has joined the NKAC and the Northern Kentucky Coaches association for the first time in school history, so we’ll be seeing more NKY matchups with Walton now as well as letting Walton’s players be able to play in all-star games and win post season awards.
 

Also, the schedule sets up some potential mini-rivalries for the schools due to coaching connections.
 

Ludlow: Former Walton HC Jeff Barth is the DC for Ludlow. Walton currently has four coaches on staff that graduated/played/coached for Ludlow (HC: Gary Pence, DC: Chris Wright, AHC/WR: Mark Csolkovits, LB: Dalesean Holbert).

Gallatin: New Gallatin HC Rick Honaker was an assistant with Coach Pence on Coopers Freshman team when Pence was the HC.

Grant County: Cole Mosier the new HC for Grant was a standout offensive linemen at Walton who went on to play for UK. He also coached under Coach Barth while at Walton.

Correction: Honaker and Pence coached together at Newport, not Cooper!

I wish all schools would do this, Walton put together a nice resource to get their football players recruited:
