Greg Edwards is the new coach................Will officially be announced Monday

I have been told by a previous coach that the AD is just a figure head with no power and just covers his butt. The problem lies with the principal who tries but has no idea about athletics and as the previous poster suggested caves to the parents. I am very proud of our football program but they(Administrators) have not helped boys or girls coaches in basketball.

Edwards wanted the job when they gave it to Judy Mason and was also not given the boys job when he applied this last time. No positions open for teaching this time may finally land him the job.

I am hearing that it is probably going to be Greg Edwards. He wants it for a couple of years for his retirement. I think he is a decent coach but that really tells you the state of the program. They will be looking yet again for another coach.

Mercer Co. will be a top team

The Boyle football program had very little success until the last fifteen years. When Chuck Smith was hired everything changed. Chuck Smith would probably tell you in his early years at Boyle when he was getting beat every year by Danville it probably pushed him harder and the assistants to try and get were Danville was. My point is Sam Harp not only elevated Danville football but football for the entire area. From a Rebel fan I still think he is a great coach and this may be the dumbest thread i have ever responded to.If you put something negative about Sam Harp on here you know very little about high school football.

Thanks PP for the updates,I did not want to go back after we lost. Good luck to West at state!

I agree that they guarded Jacob Bodner much harder and they did a great job of adjusting. I just wish we would have thrown the kitchen sink at Polson. Just left feeling like we could have adjusted or tried something else and made someone else take shots. Polson controlled the whole game...............

after watching Polson again last night, hands down the best player in the 12th region. Not even a debate!

Boyle was ahead 11-3 midway in the first quarter and West Jessamine called a timeout. Polson had not scored at that point. He went on to score 40 and Boyle as a team only scored 41.We did not have any one to stop him and did not adjust much.Our double teams seemed to just cause fouls.They shot more free throws than us but they deserved most. Corey Jones had a good offensive game but it seemed everyone else was tight for Boyle and we struggled. Good luck to West and Mercer in the finals.

Congrats to the Rebels! Danville was not the same team that played against Lincoln Co. Most of it was Boyle was just more aggressive. Good luck in the regional to both teams.

Purplepride I appreciate your Rebel glasses. What I saw was a very below average Garrard team. I was very impressed with Danville in the second game tonight. We will have our hands full if they play that way Friday night. We can win the district!

Thanks, I did not know he was the interim. Good luck on next season!

Who is the coach at Garrard?

I would hardly call it a great game from Boyle, Garrards talent level was very bad this year. This was the second time I watched us play them and we simply did what we should do. We played very hard on the defensive end and they struggle handling the ball and shooting the ball. I am looking forward to the Boyle vs Danville game on Friday!

Maybe some of the emotion will go away with some time and everything out in the open now.The bottom line is he will play somewhere next season and I just hope the best for everyone involved. God Bless!

I agree Purplepride, everyone is talking about it today,and talking about the article. I think this could play out all the way to the summer before we have closure.

Purplepride, i agree it was in the open records but a good journalist still did not need to publish the kids name that had the text. If adults wanted to know the name we should have needed to look it up ourselves and not read it in our local paper. Not sure were I stand on this one. He would obviously help our team but I do not like the smell of this.One more point, Did Sam Harp have to give the kids name that had the text to the K.H.S.A.A for evidence? Not trying to take up for him but he probably had to.

Wow purplepride, did not mean to ruffle your feathers. I was just taking up for Springate.I just felt like a mistake was made when we did not hire him when Bottoms left.In case I missed something we did not win a game in our district last season and we were not very good all season. Not hating,just giving my opinion. I hope Adams does better this season . We can only go up.

I have heard the assistant at Mercer Co. wanted out of the boys program and is now with the girls program at Mercer(he has been on their bench and coaching this summer). Springate was in his first year at Bryan Station and unfortunately was one of the teachers that got cut. I know he is looking for a job. Just my opinion, but probably good that he is not at Boyle. He is a good coach that deserves better than what is going on at Boyle right know.

With our new coach we are back to being a football school. I cannot wait for football!

Purplepride, I like it that the glass is still half full for you.I just thought we would have a great year. We were picked at the top of the region in most preseason polls and had the second best player (Aumiller) in these same polls.You keep saying that we have the talent to beat anyone in this region yet out record is 3-9 against 12th region competition. Only McCreary Central has been a bigger disappointment this year. I have only been to 6 or 7 games but there is a different attitude out on the floor and for whatever reason we have not been able to put it together. My only hope is that we can count on home court advantage in the district. P.S. I thought Jordan Walker played as well as anybody against Garrard Co. I thought he should have had more minutes against Danville.

I agree with your post southern sportsfan

Yeah, congrats to Danville. They have come a long way and will be hard to play come tourney time.

I agre that our guard play has put us behind the eight ball this year.I would have thought that Aumiller would have had a bigger year.He is playing injured but not being consistent has hurt us.
