On behalf of the players and coaches of Louisville Ballard High School, I feel I need to make a 'blanket statement' to Musketeer Nation to THANK YOU for the absolutely TREMENDOUS hospitality shown to us during our stay at the high school for football camp. (And what better place to do it than where I think EVERY Greenup Co. fan must congregate most hours of the day!)

 

While many HS coaches only want to camp at a university with dorms and numerous practice fields and such, the practice facilities at Greenup were PERFECT, the accomodations were PERFECT, the moms serving the food were PERFECT, the dads/coaches/and school personnel there to make sure we had what we needed and CONSTANTLY asked if we were okay were PERFECT, and the food...well, I can't think of a word better than PERFECT or I would!

 

And all this while the Head Coach had to be away starting on our first day with the birth of his child. (Just goes to show you how well he'd done his pre-planning and also how willing the people around him were willing to take up the slack in his absence.)

 

Greenup Co. was already my 2nd favorite team just due to the intelligence they showed to hire PURE QUALITY in a head coach and defensive coordinator, now I've got MANY MORE reasons to be a Musketeer fan.

 

As long as they keep me around at Ballard, there's only one place we'll go away to from now on.

 

It's only a matter of time until you guys challenge the BEST in your class...but based on what I know of the work-ethic of the guy you've got in charge, that time will not be very long!

 

Coupon -- THANK YOU for that little extra help you gave us the other night. Very grateful for you going out of your way to help me out in a tough situation.

 

Football Moms -- THANK YOU for being 'second-moms' to a WHOLE BUNCH of guys...a few who probably were missing home quite a bit.

 

Coach Frog -- THANK YOU for the inspiration and wisdom you were SO courageous to impart to our guys while there. It was heart-breaking for me when I read about what happened back in the spring. After I got to know you, your wife, and Dylan I've got to say it was really tough for me to understand how something like this could happen to such good people. However, getting to hear how you're able to get through it helps me know you guys are going to be alright. You are strong people--and you've got a whole other bunch of people know sending up prayers every day now for you and your family! And I have no doubt that your willingness to share your story will save a lot of other families a lot of heartache.

 

We enjoyed the time we got to spend with you and your team.I have to say they were a GREAT group of young men,very polite and always said Thank You.I know that we are proud to have you come back next year and look forward to having another Greenup fan. Thank you so much for all the kind words and I wish you and the team a winning season injury free.

Does the football team have anything planed to honor Zac? Me and my wife was talking the other day that we thought it would be nice if there were t-shirts with GCHS football on the front and Meanach 3 on the back. We dont have the funds to get this started but i think it would be really cool to see the whole greenup side filled with people wearing this t-shirts.:thumb:

We have several memorial pages in the program to honor Zach. The boys will have no. 3 decals on the back of their helmuts, we are also hanging a number three with the scoreboard signs. (This will be where the boys run on to the field.)

I didn't see where anybody link the story to the forum.

I do like this idea,I know that some of the football players have had decals made for their vehicles.Sunday would have been Zach's birthday and several of the boys of the team, friends and family will be gathering at the Meenach's house to have a cookout as well as go to the grave site. I think it starts at 4:00. Zach will never be forgotten, and our prayers are still with the family.IMOZ.

Still such a sad story.

7 days, boys and girls 7 days!!!!!!!!

Watch out Greenup Co. looks like Raceland is catching up in reply numbers.

It's OK, sidelinedoc said he is done posting on that thread, so they will slow down now.....as long as Coupon stays off of it, lol.

Proud of the boys for coming together, Coach Copley has done a great job getting them ready, very disciplined, in shape, mean and tough team he will have on the field Friday night.

I agree 100%, nothing about this years team is the same as the ones from before. Confidence, Pride, and the Ability to execute are all qualitys the team now carry. I'm proud to be a MUSKETEER.

There will be a Booster meeting Tuesday at the field around 6:00 need everyone to attend if they can.

How far back are we talking? McPeek/Maynard was puting a pretty good product on the field from mid 90's to early 00's.
