I wouldn't get your hopes up Ludlow faithful. While Hensley was a great coach at Ludlow, I don't think he's going to come back onto this side of the river to coach. I could be wrong though.

NFL- Pacman Jones, Reggie Bush.. Can't say I don't like Peyton Manning after that SNL skit..

MLB-Griffey, anyone that plays for Boston or New York

NBA-The Spurs in general

Nascar-I would have to say Tony Stewart or Treux Jr.

So does anyone know what kind of schedule Cooper is looking at?

IMO with the enrollment at Cooper in a few years they could be a contender. At first it's going to be a little rough but after the kids digest the system and get older there's no reason why Cooper can't be a winning school.

Coach Borchers is an excellent coach and person and will have a lot more to work with at Cooper.

I agree with you. Going to a school like Cooper when every year there are going to be more and more kids enrolled in the school, the program should develop very nicely.

Congrats Randy. It's going to be exciting to see this Cooper program build up over the next couple of years.

Have been told by a very reliable source that the Ludlow Head Coah Randy Borchers is going to be taking the Head coaching job at Cooper High School.

I have been told the same thing. Congrats to Randy on getting the job. I have known him for a long time and I'm sure he will do a great job. Kids who are playing at Cooper had better be ready for a firey head coach who has great passion for the game of football.

They have hired a new coach and he informed his former team today that he took the job.

I played H.S. ball on Lemker back in the 70's and at that time it was a nice field. It drained better than any field around back then. I played SS and the infield was always in good shape. A few years ago someone thought they were doing a good thing and made some changes to the field and now it is horrible. I wouldn't want to be an infielder on it today.

I've played softball with some of my old buddies down there a couple times and I believe it was a couple of days after it rained. I swear there were waves in the infield.

I know this may be a little out there, but does anyone know of any pretty good athletes that have to make the transfer to Cooper?

How do they determine who attends the school? Will atheletes be pulled from other area schools and possibly miss out on a year of sports?

 

 

How do they determine which sports to initiate first?

That's a good question. Kids that choose to go there won't be held out of sports will they?

Where exactly is Cooper at?

I'm hoping for some changes in the offensive scheme, with ball control being the key. They return quite a bit of talent and hopefully the kids will play to their potential.

Doubt you'll see any change in the offensive scheme. While Ludlow does have 3 very capable RB's, they don't really have the type of offensive line that can establish an I-form offense. Ludlow is best suited to stay with the spread and run everything from the shotgun formation.

Woodie should do a great job out at Walton Verona. I look forward to watching WV play this year.

If I am not mistaken Mark Childress was the varsity assistant and Clary was the JV coach that year. So Chilly would have been making those important calls from fist. :ylsuper:

Man and I thought for sure Highfield was going to be coach...

I stand by my original statement.

 

High school's and colleges around the country are full of great athletes with poor character. Just the facts, character doesn't help you throw, catch or run...

Not to mention I don't feel Pulley is all that bad of a guy. I think his biggest problem has been his work ethic...

Character problems do matter when they keep you off the field..

:laugh:

I'm a little confused about why that's funny?

Is Woodie McMillen going to be the head coach of the varsity program?

I think the idea of a commitee is a good idea, but it should be limited. AD, Principal, Input from players. Not from community members, not from parents. While I understand its important for parents and community members to like their new head coach, I feel that the people who went to college and got their degree in Education should be the ones making the decision.

so parents aren't college educated?:eek:

 

I never stated that at all. I said it is a decision that should be given to people with a degree in education.

While I understand its important for parents and community members to like their new head coach, I feel that the people who went to college and got their degree in Education should be the ones making the decision. More often than not parents are the first people to turn on a coach if little Joey isn't playing enough or if the coach makes a questionable call. Coaches are on the field and not in the stands for a reason. They know what they're doing. That goes for the people hired to make these decisions too. They are getting paid to make the decision. Support your team no matter who is the head coach or who the principal picked. High school sports are supposed to be about fun and more often than not, it gets turned into a lot of drama that really isn't needed and does nothing but distract players and coaches.

Doubt that Highfield will take the job. He has said that he wouldn't do both sports in the past and he would rather coach basketball.

You are not mistaken. Coach Hensley did do an excellent job, but he did take another coaching position. And I wish him nothing but the best. My hope is that things will greatly improve at Ludlow and the glory days of my era return in the not too distant future.

Don't really see what you're getting at here. Hensley did do an excellent job, but he also had some of the best football players to ever go through Ludlow's school. Even with those players, he had 1 winning season out of the 3 he was there. To also say that Ludlow's offense scheme needs changing, I have to disagree. They lost their QB (Rouse) in the 4th game of the season. He came back for 3 games at the end of the year and still finished 2nd in passing yards. He had roughly 880 yards going into the fifth game before he injured his wrist. Ludlow's offense had two WR's finish in the top ten in NKY in touchdown receptions, receiving yards, and catches. When Rouse did go down, Ludlow found their QB to take over in Sophomore Zach Stegemoeller (sp.). He threw 4 touchdowns his first varsity start. Ludlow also had three runningbacks who combined for over 1000 yards and they are all returning next year.

So to say that Ludlow needs an offensive change doesn't really make sense. I think Randy Borchers and the coaching staff down at Ludlow have things going in the right direction.

If Bellevue wants to win this game, they have to believe they can do it. It's gotten to the point in these 1A schools where they look at Beechwood as untouchable. Anyone can be beaten on any day and I think this game will be closer than expected.

First of all, congrats to Beechwood on getting to advance. Also congrats to Ludlow and their senior class for being only the 7th team in school history to make the playoffs. Coach Borchers did a great job gameplanning and keeping the team motivated. As long as Borchers is at the helm at Ludlow, the program will continue to get better. I think kids down there are starting to finally realize that they can play with anybody on anyday.
