This is why we are stuck in the rut we are in, we have got to start changing our attitude about this folks, for the good of the community.

We have got to start mending the fences somewhere and I believe this is a good start.

I think its a great idea myself, got to start mending the fences somewhere.

Mr. Hughes has told me this exact quote, "(my name), George is not a school employee. He is volunteering his time to help get a good conditioning program started. I talked to George yesterday and he has already started working with some of the high school kids. He has helped procure bids on new state of the art conditioning equipment. As soon as Matt lets him know where he wants to set up the conditioning center, George will get the equipment in. We want to establish a location where the equipment can be utilized by all students, not just football. George will be able to help students and coaches learn correct conditioning techniques, address proper muscle groups and prevent over stimulation of the wrong muscles that lead to student injury." I think this is an excellent program for all our students and I am 100% in support of this program, it will help all our athletes. I was also told that the football team this past week has started lifting during the last class period but half the class Mike teaches they are doing aerobics(which is good for them cardio) but most of the football players have asked Mike if they can lift for the entire class period of which I think needs to happen, at this time it hasn't happened yet. I really believe that this is where we need supervision and leadership for our football program and I have suggested to the admin that we start this because as we all know, East, Lawrence, Rowan and Boyd plus every other football team that is not playing this weekend is already in the weight room and in order for us to be competitive we need to get back in the weight room in an organized fashion and hit them very hard. Please give our admin a call and ask them to get this done for us, they need to be hitting the weights hard.

And exactly what we need, really.... :thumb:

Great point!

We are getting excited about all the folks that are becoming interested in the position. Coach Conley would be and excellent choice, the application pool is going to be a good one for our admin to select from I do believe.

And they will stay that way at least until next week is over....

I don't know the answer to that one right now, but I will find out... :thumb:

Myself and a couple of other parents have offered to pick up kids and drop them off for practices to the administration and this could happen if we can work around the legalities of the deal, liability is key. Mike Hampton will play with us getting him to and from practice and I would be willing to bet there are 10 more just like him, Dustin told me tonight he was 90% sure he was going to play, I really think it depends on the coach we get who plays and who doesn't, however, whoever it is they can count on my support in doing whatever needs to be done and I don't care at all to go before the BOE and lobby for whatever is needed...

Groups Sales coordinator and a Cook II both pay pretty good, so there are opportunities for coaches wives if need be...

Trey is going to have to get more physical, I would like to see him take the goal down on three players, not just in warm ups...

We will see and if I knew, I couldn't tell you until I was told that I could..

I have a couple of positions open here doc...

Greenup wins if they can defend the three and work the ball inside.

They are talking to a lot of folks Doc, he just happens to be one of them and nothing has been officially promised to anyone. We would like, as you state in this quote and I have during this thread, if a coach is reading this and they think they can make a difference, accept a challenge in turning a program around and develop good athletes into great athletes (GCHS has a ton of talent and a lot walking the halls) then he needs to apply for this position and take this job and turn the doubters into believers, he already has a lot of believers waiting on him.

That will change.

TJ wouldn't be lowering his morals but it is a big decision for him no doubt, I have all the respect in the world for TJ and will support his decision either way, he or whoever gets this position will not be treated unfairly this time, Dr. Hughes will not let that happen... The job is posted and it takes time folks to get these things done, state playoffs are not over with yet, when they are over we will get our coach and get to work, in the mean time I am going to check on the strength and fitness person that is supposed to be starting in January, maybe we can get him started early, I will check on that ASAP.:thumb: Coaches that are reading this, apply for this job, you can and will make a difference if you are the right person and you will have folks in the community that will do whatever you need done to get the program to where it needs to be and the support of the BOE and administration 110%, our new superintendent, Dr Hughes will see that happens, the time is right for GCHS... Great athletes need a great coach!

I spoke to Mike's foster father and told him I would give him a ride to and from practice and he said that was a deal, I have also got Dustin saying he is going to play and Coach Fraley is right beside me telling them both to play so, there you go, I will pick Hampton up and Dustin is going to play..

Greenup County will make the right decision whomever that person maybe, I have faith in Matt, Chris and the site base council and Dr. Hughes's final approval. We will get a good disciplinarian.. TJ hasn't said no yet...

Dustin is playing and so is Hampton, write it down. As for Trey, I am in complete agreement, he won't play football but the other two are going to...

General, I believe that it will be... :thumb:

Coach Fraley will not punish any kid for playing a different sport, it's not going to happen, he will play the best kids that he thinks will win the game for him, that is a ridiculous comment Coupon 21, sorry bro but I know better on this one.. Coach told me yesterday to speak to a couple of his players and try and get them to play football too and we are talking about a couple of his better players, he wants to see the school excel at all levels so if he was doing what you are saying he was doing back then, he is not doing it now, I know that to be a fact.

Things are being very tight lipped however I do know that the offer is still out there to TJ, we would love to have him.... :thumb:

Grayson and Kitchen from Greenup County, both young strong lineman, will be a force to be reckoned with the next two years. I really believe GCHS's sophomore class has a lot of talent, just need the right coach to bring it to the top.
