Not to completely change the subject, but I wonder how much of Crittenden's current schedule is out of necessity instead of by "first choice."

 

Did Crittenden want to test itself against Madisonville and Tilghman and call those schools up, or did the best available open dates just happen to coincide with those schools?

 

I really don't know in Crittenden's current case, but I know of several schools (OK, smaller schools) that wound up scheduling people they otherwise probably would not have, but had to because those were the only schools relatively close that had matching open dates. That gets back to the aforementioned scheduling grid, not to mention small districts that mean most schools have to find 6-7 non-district opponents where in the past they only had to find maybe 3-4 because they would have played 6-7 district games.

 

If you're a small school, and the other small schools in your area have no openings on their schedule, there's not much option but to either schedule up or not have a full schedule. That sometimes leads to strange matchups and, in at least one case that I know of, two schools playing each other twice this year. I think that's some of the fallout from going to six classes, which I'm not a fan of but seems like it's here to stay.

 

It just seemed like a lot of schools had trouble putting together their schedules this year.

 

Your first sentence brings up a valid point. So to answer that I can tell you that it wasn't done out of necessity. From what I heard it was mutual for the CC/Madisonville N/ and Tilghman programs to make the games happen. Many schools called once they realized that we were able to get the fultons off our schedule.

I believe this. No longer having the Fultons on the shedule and adding PT and Madisonville is a big improvement for the Rockets. If the Rockets roll into Cadiz and thump Trigg - you won't hear many more comments about the what happened with the past scheduling assumptions from years gone by.

Well I hope your right on that Sir. I think with the young Rockets this year they just need to take it one game at a time and keep everyone healthy. I think they will handle Hop Central with ease, and hopefully iron out all mistakes they make in that game, since it is their first. The next week at Trigg will be a test. I hear that Trigg looks like a great team, so we will see what happens then. Good luck to your Falcons this year!

Considering Hopkins Central has a new coach and the fact that QB Lucas Crawley went to Christian County, they are probably looking at a long season.

Yeah I think your correct. I was really looking forward to see if the Rockets could contain Lucas Crawley this year. He was a pleasure to watch run the football, and last year after the game I got a chance to speak to him and he seems like a great kid. I'm sure Christian Co. was glad to get him.

Westky has been hating on CC as long as he's been on BGP, nothing new. He picks and choosesmthe points that supports his argument and ignores rebuttles. Every year his argument increases by one year. Next year he'll start it with "11 years ago..." and in 10 years, it'll be started with "20 years ago..." You get my point, just ignore him rocketlandfan, he's a hater for a reason.
