People like me? I simply asked a question.

I just don’t see how a coach employed by one school is allowed to be in contact with kids enrolled at bother school. 

I’m glad to see the kids getting extra work in, and I am not doubting Matt’s resume or coaching ability. But if it were Hayden Sphire training O’Hara/ Harney/ etc, do we see an issue with that? 

Matt is a 100% unpaid Volunteer. Not sure if that matters but in my Eyes it does. 

Furthermore, the Football field is currently open to any Human being looking for a place to go. Doesn't matter if you're a Highlands kid/parent or living in Ft Thomas. With the Soccer Complex under construction which is City owned and not locked at any time, I think the School has kind of agreed to leaving the gates open during the daytime Hours so anyone can access. I have seen Matt work kids out at SK and also at Dixie within the last month. Because it's at Highlands it's a problem I guess. Cheaters! LOL...

Hope this helps your simple question.

Actually it would’ve been 15 yards in a game.

These were also slow to develop but the net result worked out well! I guess we should get used to it for the next 2 seasons!

I have a feeling you’re going to be biting your words.

It has nothing to do with Highlands vs Non Highlands field. I simply responded to the picture of said instance because it is the first time I saw it. 

Had he been a Dixie coach, coaching same group of kids at Dixie’s field, I would have asked the same thing. 

And in my eyes, being paid vs non paid has nothing to do with it. If he is on Highlands (or insert any other school you’d like) staff, and have gone through KHSAA coaches training, rules clinics, etc. that is required each year, then I do not understand how he is able to communicate with and associate with kids outside of his team. 

Furthermore, am I to believe that these kids’ head coaches and coaching staffs are not permitted to communicate with their own players during KHSAA dead period, yet Matt is allowed to train with, communicate with, etc. during that time because he’s an unpaid coach and as long as he doesn’t coach a Highlands kid at Highlands, a Dixie kid at Dixie, and CovCath kid at CovCath at that time, then it’s permitted?

I believe NKY Guy meant it would have been a 15 yard penalty in a game? Somehow, the one Woody Hayes posted vs. Woodford was not penalized but the Birds certainly have been penalized for this in the past!

Agree on all points and yet there are 100's of Matt Shearer's in the State of Kentucky but for some odd reason it's a problem because it's in Ft Thomas. Or at least to some it is. I certainly hope there aren't any Glass Houses in Park Hills. LOL...

All good. Love when the Rivalry is solid....

The one I can think of is the 2023 Semi Final game where Highlands was penalized for supposedly leaping a Defender. It change the outcome of the game as well...JMO!
