"It was men among boys out there. Not the players on the field but the NCC coaching staff -vs- the Dixie coaching staff."

One a day!

 

Correct.

 

Wow, that was pretty harsh.

 

Was it really coaching or was it missing possibly the best player in KY?

I believe that Pike not playing made some difference, but not enough difference to lose by nearly thirty points. I do believe that coaching could have factored in as well. I am amazed at what Eviston has done since taking over for Schneider. I figured that Eviston was going to be good, but I didn't figure as good as he's been.

Was Eviston on the staff already when Schneider left and if not where did he come from?

I've heard bad things about Dixie's HC for the past 4-5 years.

Many of the Dixie faithful has wanted him gone for quite a while now. I went to a few of their games back when one of my friend's brother played on the team, which was back when O'Toole was the quarterback. Many wanted him gone back then and that has been a while now.

After graduating from Newport Catholic as a three-sport standout in 1997, he was recruited to play defensive back by Georgetown football coach Bill Cronin.

Few better decisions have ever been made in the history of Kentucky college football. Eviston started 42 games at quarterback for Georgetown. The Tigers won 41 of them, including two NAIA national championship contests. By the end of his Georgetown career, Eviston had been named NAIA National Player of the Year three times and the 2001 Herald-Leader Kentucky Sportsman of the Year. Some nine years later, Eviston's past as a decorated college quarterback helped him land the Newport Catholic head coaching job. This was after Eviston had tried out in the Kansas City Chiefs camp; become an arena football standout with Lexington's Kentucky Horsemen; and launched a football coaching career.

 

He started as a high school assistant in Ohio at Norwood, then spent a year coaching at Thomas More College. Five years ago, he came home to NewCath, working for Schneider as an assistant and taking a job in the school's development office.
