Oh this is gonna be interesting. Be careful why you wish for.

Geez, when will people learn to stop trying and manufacture rivalries. Douglass football does this with Scott County and calls them “That Team Up North” it’s embarrassing and a bad look in my eyes. Why not just worry about your own team and take care of that instead of trying to talk about others.

Any word yet where and when the scrimmage game will take place?

6:00 and 8:00 Wednesday June 5th at Billiter East High School. Girls will play first.

Hate to see Coach Adams go. I always thought he did a great job and brought Boyle County to the top tier of the 12th. Best of luck to him.

How would seeding the tournament have helped them???

That’s a GREAT question. After Murray lost in the first round of the state tournament to Ryle, Coach Foust had some comments in the press conference about the tournament should be seeded. I guess it looks better to lose in the semi finals to the state champs then the first round because you know it’s about his legacy as a coach and not the kids. At least thats my two cents and people will disagree.

I just want to know if he will still want the Sweet Sixteen seeded?!? :popcorn:

I will say this about Reyes, he had a really good tryout. Everyone in the gym was impressed. Also, Tolley wasn’t at the tryout either.

Sissons from highlands, any of the Newport trio, or Thelen from CCH. Reyes from Casey county is a nice player, but he put up numbers on a middle of the road team in the 12th. Moreover, Baughman should have made it over him if they wanted a player from region 12 or the Bruner kid from West Jess. The Butler kid from J'town had a good season, but how did he make it over a kid like Tolley, when Tolley led his team to Rupp. I get its an imperfect science, but to not have one kid from one of the top 3 regions (9th)...But congrats to all the kids that made it!

Baughman and Thelan both chose not to attend the tryout.

The word I got was they didn't have any teaching positions opened in the district. I do know Derrick Robinson who works as a certified teacher in the district was interviewed for the job.

Any word if or when the JR./Sr. scrimmage game will take place?

It will take place. It’s usually the Wednesday before the Senior games. Not sure on a location yet.

Who are the coaches this year? 10th region well represented. Congrats to Graham and Jolly from the10th region. We have 3 selected, but Allen can't play.

Congrats to all that made the team.

Boo Brewer is the head coach. The assistants are Dave Henley, KC Goodin, and Anthony Epps.

Welcome to the site Gulf, a lot of interesting information in your post. I will agree the hiring process at Woodford County was quite the circus for a while. A lot of rumors surrounded this hire for a while and with rumors you never really know which are true and false. I have heard the social media might need a clean up for Coach Brown. Either way the hire is what it is and they arent going to change it now. We will see how it plays out.

What's your opinion of the hire? I know you're a fixture in Lexington basketball.

HA! I wouldn’t say I’m a fixture but I appreciate the kind words of that was their intention.

I’m sure Jaron will do a good job. He’s got experience coaching at all levels. He was the interim head coach at Bryan Station at the end of the 2015 season when Mike Allen stepped down. I’m sure he will be able to pull some Lexington area kids to Versailles as well. I think a lot of people get stuck on the whole “head coaching experience” thing, he will be fine. I do think the transition from the 11th Region to the 8th will be a lot harder then some people think, especially in that district.

Hearing now that the new coach will be introduced tomorrow afternoon. Word is it will be Jaron Brown, former player and assistant coach at Bryan Station.

A little update from what I've been hearing for those interested. The Athletic Director, Dennis Johnson, has delayed the hiring process to be able to interview more candidates. I do know Woodford County lacks certified teaching position openings so they are looking in house, aka Derrick Robinson, or for someone that has a job in another district already and can commute or doesn't need a teaching job. I do know Mike Allen, Jaron Brown, and Ellis Myles all had interviews for the position as late as last week. From what I have been told from a reliable source, which I will not name so dont DM and ask me to, the list is down to 4 with the above four names mentioned as being the ones.

In my opinion this has gotten quite ridiculous that this job hasnt been filled. Luckily for WC they have someone like Derrick Robinson who has taken the reigns and kept the off season workouts going and kids working. I by no means endorse him or any other candidate I just think this has been dragged out way too long.

Tall, has commented on a lot of these new hires that it’s been a “strictly local search” which is fine he feels that way. I’m not sure what he’s searching for but he’s not finding it. There is so much more that goes into getting a coaching job then the actual coaching aspect.

Michael Moreno

Kyle Rode

Jacob Hobbs

JJ Ramey

All did not try out. Kyle and Jacob wouldnt be able to compete in the game due to having to be on campus early for basketball. Michael is currently injured and recently had another surgery on his foot. I have no idea why JJ did not show.

Mendenhall was offered and turned it down.

Im pretty sure he was the boys coach at one time. I know he was an assistant for the girls as well.

Hasn't Anthony Epps had this job before?

I will say this, there has been interest from very qualified coaches for sure. I still think current JV coach Derrick Robinson will be the hire. He’s already in the building and Woodford doesn’t have many teaching vacancies. Also, Woodford has a LONG history, other then Scott Hundley, of hiring the current assistant to replace the retiring/leaving head coach.

Don’t be surprised if current JV coach Derrick Robinson is who ends up with the job.

Do they hire within or open it up to someone from the outside? A lot of PC people in the know on this board. What are your thoughts?

I'm pretty sure the former principal at Pendleton County is now the principal at Ryle. Take that for what its worth. I know of some assistants in the Central KY area that also applied and never heard back. If it is Belcher congrats to him hope he does well.

Congrats to Coach Croft!!
