2 more from Grant County are playing at the Next Level..:banana:

Cory Beach will play for The University of Cumberlands

Rex Benson will play for Carroll University in Wisconsin

I would like to personally thank Coach Mike Davis for all the work he puts into his football program. Before Coach Davis came to Grant County, the town could care less of the football program, and the stands were bare on Friday Nights. Now, the stands are full, and there is excitement within the county for the Braves football program. I think that parents don't realize the time and effort that needs to be put into a program for it to be successful, and Coach Davis has been working so hard to turn that around for Grant County. He takes a lot of flack from parent's for keeping the kids later than a practice is scheduled, and other numerous petty things, but those that know Coach know that he is the best thing to come to Grant County and I, personally, am so glad that he did come. He has done wonders with our program and I think it is only right that someone come out and tell him so. So, Coach, THANK YOU!! Thank you for the time you put into the kids, thank you for watching and monitoring their grades so that after football, the kids can succeed and go on to a higher education, and thank you for the friendship that we encountered along the way. I wish you the best with your program, and to your career. You truly are a great coach and a great friend!:thumb:

CONGRATS CORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As your football mom, I am so proud of you and your accomplishments!!

Best of luck to you and your football career.

:clap:

From Grant County:

KJ Little - signed with Kentucky Wesleyan College

Josh Rump - signed with Georgetown College

1 other player to still sign

For those of you who do not know Coach Davis, he is one of the finest coaches around. My son had the honor of being one of his freshman players when Coach Davis arrived at Grant County, and it has been a fun ride for 4 years. Coach Davis has made Grant County appreciate football more and more each year and that is a hard task to accomplish!

He has been a great friend and advisor. We will miss being part of his program. Congrats Coach, and thank you for all your hard work.:thumb:

Way to go Josh!! You are a great kid and deserve the best.

We will be watching!!:dancingpa

Looks like Josh Rump is going to sign with Georgetown, and Cory Beach is going to walk on at Cumberlands. There are 2 or 3 others that still may sign with other colleges.:clap:

KJ Little of Grant County received a letter of intent with Kentucky Wesleyan College. His signing will take place on March 23rd.

As a proud mother, we are thrilled to know that we have 4 more years of football!!!:banana:

Congrats to him and to Walton Verona!!

Grant County lost 12 Seniors this year, and so it will be difficult for them this upcoming season. The Juniors that will be taking their place are hard workers and talented, but not enough of them, so they will also be relying on their sophomores to step it up. I am sure Coach Davis will get the kids motivated and ready to go by the start of the season.

Couldn't find the list, does anyone have a link that I can use??

I think John Hardin is too much for Oldham. Don't get me wrong, Oldham has some great players, but John Hardin has the speed!!

Good luck to both team in the playoffs this Friday.:thumb:

I know the Braves did not want their season to end the way it did, but these players did an outstanding job!

Congrats to the Braves, and to the coaching staff for an exceptional season!!:thumb:

This is a very exciting time to be a Braves Fan!! I think we have a better chance than everyone is expecting.

Grant County 28 John Hardin 23

Play hard and stay focused and we could win this game!!:thumb:

I wanted to add this thread not because I'm a Senior Mom but because I wanted to take the time to thank all of the senior football players from all of the schools that surround Greenup County and beyond. I have enjoyed(even the ER visits) all of my years that I have spent with Greenup County Football. I did not like football from the very beginning but both of my sons wanted to play and I did not stop them. I have learned to like football and can understand a little of it now. The best part of my sons playing football has been associating with the parents. I have gained life long friends and this is the exra bonus for my sons to play. I have heard many nay sayers about Soph's rule and Freshman are the best and I guess they(senior parents) are doing their own thing. It is a team made up of Freshman, Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors. It takes it all to make a team. My son is an offensive lineman(I never get to hear his name but I sure see the hole he makes so that a running back or quarterback can get through, but I don't care he is a Musketeer and proud of it.

There has been a lot said about the parents of GCHS but I know it happens at all the other schools - it's just our "laundry" gets exposed more than others.

I want to thank all the senior boys for playing football and sticking with it for all those years. My hat is off to all the parents that are supporting their children(which is the most important thing) and THANKS FOR ALL THE MEMORIES you have given to your school, your family, and our state of Kentucky.

Good Luck to all the teams during playoffs and remember have fun and enjoy your senior year.

I too am a Senior footballmom, even for a team with the same initials (Grant County High School). You couldn't have put it any better, and I too feel that it is an honor to have been associated with the football team since these kids were playing in 2nd grade. Not only am I going to see my own son complete his playing season, my 11 other:thumb: adopted boys will too. I love each and everyone of these kids and have seen them through thick and thin. I am so proud of the accomplishments they have made this year. Thanks boys for the memories and for the time and effort that you have put in to make this season a successful one!

I wish all Senior boys from all classes the best of luck in their playoffs and take the time to enjoy yourselves and have fun, because you don't know when or if you will get to play on the field again.

Grant County was fortunate this year, with 6 home games. However, we traveled 315.25 miles to 4 different schools, 630.50 miles round trip. Now, if we add our playoff game, that is another 274 roundtrip miles. Figures that the gas prices go down after the season is close to being over!!

What a Game!!!! Grant County totally blew out Boyd, they never came close to the goal line. Way to go DEFENSE!!!!

Now, take the bye week off, get rested and healed, and look forward to Etown! Way to go Braves, you looked great Friday :dancingpa

I would like to recommend Coach Mike Davis for the Grant County Braves. Under his leadership, he has taken the Braves from losing seasons to winning seasons. Last year was Grant County's first ever winning season of 6-4. This year, the Braves will either be 6-4 or 7-3, all depending on Friday's game. I would also like to mention that the Braves are going to the playoff's this year. Coach Davis has turned the Braves around into a winning and respectable football team.:thumb:

As the Braves Football Mom and a parent of a Senior player, I could not be any more prouder of these kids!

There are 10 Seniors out of 12 that have worked together since middle school, and 7 were even in pee wee together. Coach Davis has done a superb job coaching and keeping this team together. Congrats to the team, Coach Davis and his coaching staff for making this season successful!!! It has truly been a honor being their football mom for the last 11 years. I will truly miss being "their mom".

GO BRAVES!!:ylsuper:

The Braves are playing some serious ball right now, I predict Braves 28- Boyd 10. :flame:

Doesn't it always rain on senior night for Grant Co? I know it always did when I played. Grant should win this one. :banana:

Yes it seems that it does rain on Senior Night for Grant County. Must be one of those traditions!!:lol:

Who will it favor if rain is a factor

Very Good Question Skunk! OK Braves.... are you up for the challenge of a little rain thrown in the mix of a District Game, on Senior Night? Should be interesting!!:thumb:

Congrats Grant on a Great Game!! And another Congrats to Cory Beach for having a outstanding game, way to be there for those interceptions!!
