I've always felt first-year coaches need the time to implement "their system" with their new team. Coach Collins was further hampered by the fact that he wasn't hired too quickly after the vacancy appeared...he didn't really get to put his stamp on much of the off-season program.

 

Some new coaches inherit a tremendous amount of experienced talent and the team is farther along...they can pick up on the new system quicker and adapt to / succeed with it quickly. Trimble didn't have all that many seniors last year, I think, but they lost some critical cogs: Larry Sullivan (starting QB and top rusher with 1,156 yards and 13 of the team's 18 rushing TDs) and Aunner Posas (30 receptions, 489 yards, 2 TDs) were critical skill position losses as they took away the top passer, top rusher, and #2 receiver.

 

Trimble started 1-4; they've since won 2 of 3 to move to 3-5. That early start, in which the coach and players were undoubtedly still adjusting to each other, also included two top 10 3A teams in Henry County and North Oldham. During the most recent three games, Trimble is averaging over 30 ppg.

 

Another measure of improvement: The 2008 Raiders gave up an average of 27 ppg; this year's edition is giving up just 19.5 ppg...

 

All in all, the results would seem to indicate that the Raiders are coming along nicely...

 

That is very well put. Colonel Mike you always seem to have great comments about high school programs. :ylsuper:

Frankfort by at least 2 touchdowns.

Good analysis, ColonelMike. I might add, too, that the offense last year was based around the A-11, so the boys this year (experienced or not) have had to work off a new offensive scheme.

 

Why the sarcasm? Didn't you state that TC would underestimate Frankfort?

A 14 point game against Eminence is not very impresive under any field conditions.

Heard there is 90% chance of 1 inch of rain? Could Frankfort struggle once again due to the weather? :confused:

 

 

I Guess I bite my toungue a lot on Bluegrasspreps...........maybe I should just learn to :sssh:

Is Trimbles field bad?

When it rains yes our field is terrible, the water stands in ankle deep puddles in a couple places.

Maybe a new location for a field??

Frankfort rolls.

Long as it's not at Trimble we're good.:lol:

 

The weather man reported that tomorrow night should be a down pour, so it might seem like we're at Trimble........
