I hope it does pass because in the end football makes the most money for the schools, and if you have a good football program then you can make money for the school. Football is the best sport in my opinion and I enjoy basketball and baseball, but it just doesn't create as much excitement and money for the schools. I do agree however about the heat but there is no way around those factors, we are really taking away 2 adays because of the season moved back, teams don't go nearly as many 2 adays as they used to.

I agree on some levels we all need to allow every athlete the chance to play whatever sport they want to play but football is the hardest sport to teach, play, and coach in my opinion. More time is needed to play football because baseball and basketball you can truly just show up and play. I know you need practice and it's very important, but football you can't just show up and play. It's a game that takes timing, execution, and players knowing players. This is totally my opinion of course but I believe football deserves more time than other sports because of the mentality it takes to win and achieve success. With that being said I disagree about baseball being a summer sport, football is a summer sport as well you are not going to be any good if you don't put the time in the weightroom, every sport benefits from bigger, faster, strong athletes.

Don't forget about Coach Garry McPeek he won a district championship at Greenup, then TJ took over.

I understand where you are coming from, but I disagree. Ashland is a rich tradition program and just because of their schedule they should be in the top 7. They are not very good this season I see them getting 4th after beating Bryan Station and playing Woodford again, I am sure they will look forward that one. :eek:

I agree thats a sad statement, Ashland is below average period.

Greenup is a tough tough place to win and coach in my opinion. However, with the new district they should compete each and every year.

Agreed he had a great career too bad he isn't still playing.

Great Job sorry up late last night watching the Patriots kill the Bengals.

I think he is a young but does a great job in Nate Mcpeek now at Fairview, and coach Lewis at Raceland does a job. Two ends of the spectrum with young and old.

What was the reason for Mahan quitting?

Woodford by as much as they want. JV's warm up early in the 2nd half.

Who do you think does the best job coaching the Offensive Linemen in the Eastern part of the state? The 15th and 16th regions?

I'm just stating my opinion Grover. Russell is a class act program with great football history. This is one of the weaker teams I have seen but still have a chance to go far in the playoffs because the district is weak other than Mason.

Many people watched them during the playoffs. In general Russell is talented just not as much as they have been.

Russell is a good team not great I have seen them play, not as physical as they have been in recent years and secondary not as solid. They will have a chance to get to Papa Johns but in the end don't think they have enough to get there. Defense must improve, as everyone knows defense wins championships.

I was talking to some people from Lawrence co. and they said Russell isn't as good as they were last year in their opinion. I wasn't at at the game but said average at best. Most people around think Russell will struggle with teams like Belfry and Breathitt Co. I see Russell losing to Mason County. Wish the Devils the best the rest of the way. Coach McGlone is a class act and a great coach.

The best coach around you are right, I think Coach Cooksey at Fairview has done a pretty solid job with all that happened before the year with Coach Tackett and they are sitting at 4-1. he has a great coaching staff. I agree about Coach McGlone though he is a great coach and man.

Very well said and respected. Good luck to all teams this week.

And Greenup will get it, Raceland will have a tough time.

If Boyd doesn't get them this year it may be awhile.

I don't drink but thanks for assuming that, Greenup is much improved and raceland is beat up I think raceland will be lucky to reach 6-4

Greenup 31 Raceland 14

With that being said I believe they will beat greenup, rowan and fairview or should at least with that being a small A school and they will finish 3-7.

I disagree with you there I believe they miss those coaches a lot, it's about the Jimmy's and the Joe's but it's also about getting the best out of those kids and the coaches they lost are great coaches and people, it's hard to replace that in my opinion.
