stick1 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 One of the best around. Big loss for Harrison and Big gain for Lex Christian! He and Coach Raines bring a lot of experience between them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldonetechnique Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I think the folks in HC have been a little tough on Graham, he has been kicked around a little up there, there is not anyone who has done as much with the talent that Ray has had. They will find out how hard it is without him especially trying to hire this late in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKU23 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Coach Graham is truly one of the good guys in this profession. A man of great character, integrity, loyalty, and knows the game as well as anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gchs_uk9 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 For all his success, in 25 years, Ray Graham had a playoff record of 8-20. Geography played a major role in his playoff struggles as Harrison County almost always had to compete with the northern Kentucky district in Class AAA. A trip to the state semifinals last season was a great way to close a career.

TheLegends64 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Congrats to coach Graham on the retirement. I think he might get himself a Class A state title at LCA in a couple years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice Cold Vengeance Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Any chance Jim McKee will look into his hometown job in Cynthiana? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingslap Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Coach Graham is a class act!!! One of the best men in the business to go along with his coaching accomplishments at Harrison. Is this one going to be kept inside the current staff? Wide Open? Shoe ins from elsewhere if they were to apply? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltopper2005 Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Any chance Jim McKee will look into his hometown job in Cynthiana? With the program at Scott County and the facilities he has there, I wouldn't see why he would leave there to go to Harrison County. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breds balla Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 With the program at Scott County and the facilities he has there, I wouldn't see why he would leave there to go to Harrison County. Rumor has it that Jim McKee is going to come back home and coach the breds this football season.. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
