3 years ago when he was brought in, he inherited 5 returning starters, (2 seniors, 2 juniors, 1 sophomore). They won their district and went to the regional tourney the year before.They proceeded to win half as many games and lose in the first round of the district tourney the next. He just never seemed to get any traction. I wished it would have went better for him, he is a very nice man. I do believe the school is making the right move as long as they put the effort into the new hire.

The last time they hired, it had to be someone already in the Kenton County school district because of employee headcount. If that is still the case, perhaps the current girls fast-pitch head coach and assistant varsity boys basketball coach would be interested. Roddy Stainforth.

I believe there were about 4 seniors that chose not to go out for the team this year after playing their first 3 years at Dixie. Might have helped if they had.

Heard from a reliable source that Andy Elkus is out as head coach at Dixie.

They should be BETTER. They haven't been able to compete with schools their size or bigger for the last few years.

Dixie needs to take a good hard look at their program. A school this size should be better.

Hartfiel with 1 point ? She get hurt or did they just shut her down. Too good a player to tally just 1.

Been an ongoing problem at Dixie for the past few years. There were a few girls that didn't even come out for the team this year that have played before. They don't teach fundamentals. More interested in designing plays for the offense. Doesn't work if you can't handle or shoot the ball. Only teams they have beaten are small schools. They might even get into the region tourney.

Heard from a St. Henry parent recently that 2 or 3 good players quit the team about a week before the first game. What's going on over there?

Who's the new coach ?

I disagree that he was handed a mess. He inherited 4 returning starters that were coming off of a 12 win season the year before. They won 6 games last year and probably won't win that many this year. 2 starters from last year did not go out for the team this year and another starter recently quit. These high school kids deserve better. Parents and players alike are frustrated with this program.

Middle school program at the high school level...... and the A.D. doesn't seem to care.

On the other end, more trouble for Dixie. Hearing that the Bowman girl has quit the team. That makes 3 starters from last years team not playing this year.

Not sure if Dietz is playing or not. Soccer is her #1 interest. There is talent but they may struggle to reach last years win total, which I think was around 6.

Don't know that I would judge Conner based on this game. Dixie's program is struggling.
