I wonder when the varsity thread starts?

 

It must be that old northern Kentucky bias rearing its ugly head :sssh::notworthy:

(sorry to hijack thread somewhat, but since it's digressed into "who's going where")...

 

Heard a few of the names on here are considering coming to Ballard. They're good students and their parents realize our AP program takes a backseat to no other school in the city or state (top 5 consistently in number of Nat'l Merit Finalists and highest nationally ranked HS in Jeff. Co. in the TEAMS competition -- tests of Engineering aptitude, math, and science). Add to that the fact that we have a three year ACT prep course tied to our year-round, in-school strength-training course and a coaching staff that will provide "full-service" in promoting them as a football player at the next level and they can see that the benefits of our program extend well beyond the playing field.

 

The fact that we're taking public school athletes and requiring a "private school" mentality (rigorous off-season program and emphasis on DISCIPLINE and CHARACTER over talent to decide playing time) is appealing as well. We'll make no promises to kids wanting to come here EXCEPT that we'll expect accountability from them on and off the field, that we'll accept only their best efforts on and off the field, and that their coaches will return the favor for THEM when their playing days are done.

 

Best of luck to the private schools mentioned in this thread -- the things they've been doing for years really do work (that's why I've always copied much of their overall program when I was at my previous schools). Hopefully, in addition to the kids mentioned on here going to the private schools, there will be several families that will opt for a free education at an academically nationally-ranked school who will also do things the best way possible in classroom, the weight room, and on the field.

Coach, the system needs more like you. Keep up the hard work!

Good Luck Coach. I liked your team last season and think in a couple of more season's you will be a major contender. Louisville needs strong Public Schools and more coaches in it's system with your work ethic.

His dad Kerry is a nice guy. I wait and see until he takes a high school snap.

I was told yesterday that one of, if not the best assistants on the varsity level resigned. Huge blow to the program if that is the case.:irked:
