rebel man

I have been doing some checking to, I have been standing at the courthouse waiting to see the doctor and his wife for a lawsuit. They have not made it yet. Just another ploy by some parents to run off another good coach. They were openly saying that if Burkich did not get rid of him they would do what ever it took to get rid of him. Things must change for Boyle to be good in athletics again.

Rumor has it a certain Doctor in town thought that his son should have been treated differently. He apparantly missed a practice for something to do with football and was disciplined. Bottoms apparantly treated him like the rest of his players. There are a lot of phone calls and upset people right know. Some more heads may roll before this is all said and done. There are a lot of Bottoms suppoorters out there right now and he had put basketball back on the map at a football school. Honestly, it is hard for me to say but our basketball has been much better than our football the last 3 or 4 years.Stay tuned!

Coach Thacker has done a great job at Somerset. Not sure he deserves the situation at Boyle right now.

I have done a little research as far as I could find: 1999-00 6-17 Mike Pittman, 2000-2001 10-18 Mike Pittman, 2001-2002 18-12 Andy Moberly, 2002-2003 16-11 Andy Moberly, 2003-2004 13-14 Andy Moberly, 2004-2005 20-11 Ronnie Bottoms, 2005-2006 21-10 Ronnie Bottoms,2006-2007 18-13 Ronnie Bottoms, 2007-2008 17-13 Ronnie Bottoms. I was also looking back to our regional results during those years and we had not won a regional game during this time until Coach Bottoms first year.

His name is Ronnie Bottoms. The program right now is in better shape than it has ever been. They went to the region all four years that he was there. They won 3 district titles. He went to two regional finals and went to the state tournament once. They are returning a real good team for 08-09. The feeder program is strong as well. He may have rubbed some parents the wrong way but his kids always played hard for him and they were always a tuff out.

Lets hope not. One, I hope they don't put him in this situation. And two, we need someone with experience as head coach. He will be a good head coach one day but he is not mature enough to be our head coach. Maybe an assistant for 3 or 4 years for us and then move him up.

It really does not matter at this point. Unless their are some changes in other areas no good coach in their right mind would want this job.

A sad day for the Boyle County basketball family. We will miss him!

Any person in a 5 county area should have known. The most disliked baseball (person) in our community.

Keeton was at Boyle to and played for Coach Bottoms at the middle school. Things would probably be a lot different if he had stayed.LCPATS, which coach(what sport?)developed the Danville West?

Kinda funny, Mr. Oversreet and son also transferred from Danville. Guess you guys want to forget about that trasfer...... I would.....

Got to see them against Boyle. You have a nice team that looked impressive. I was surprised Boyle won. You are capable of making a run. Good Luck!

Bottom line,we are talking about Lincoln Co. and Boyle Co. in basketball! Not bad for two communities that pride ourselves on football. We both actually have above average basketball programs to!

Gothca, Boyle plays some juniors on their J.V. Not sure I agree. Some fans think it is because our sophomore class is ahead of our juniors. Oh well, should be a good tournament. Lincoln looks like they are in the finals. Hope we can get there!

We are not were we have been the last couple of years. I don't want to make excuses but we do start 3 sophomores and 1 junior. I think that we know have 17 wins. No one has beaten us really bad in the region except for Lincoln(twice). Boyle could make a little noise in the region again and play Lincoln one more time. This is probably the best team Lincoln has ever had occording to some of my friends in Lincoln. We have played in the last 2 regional finals and had won the last 3 district titles(congrats on your title Friday) so you are right it starts at the top with good administrators supporting and good coaches!:ylsuper:

Good to know. As I said both programs seem to be in pretty good shape and have really been at the top of this region the last 3 or 4 years.Why do you think that J.V. is worthless?

Lincoln by 20 plus

Lincoln for sure in the top bracket, Boyle or Wayne in the bottom.

Mr. Network, in all honesty neither cupboard will be that bare. These two teams with the coaches they have will be near the top every year. Good luck to both teams in the region and it would be fun to play each other in the regional finals.:thumb:

Judy Mason of Danville, Jerry Hancock was fun to watch as well.

Speaking of stock running out, Lincoln will only have Spurlin back next year and he will struggle without your seniors. Boyles freshman and JV owned Lincoln this year so your stock is not what you might think.It is obvious you do not likr Boyle but make sure you no your facts before you speak.

I forgot about his injury in football. He did miss the last half of the season. He is a big part of the basketball team to as a starter.

He hurt his ankle on senior night. I was told he hurt it again against Garrard Co. on wed. nights game.

There is a good chance that these two teams will meet again. Lincoln will be in the championship game, I would take Boyle in any other matchup with the teams left. If it happens you would think that Boyle players and coaches would play them differently. It could be interesting........

McCreary and Boyle should have two of the better teams. Boyle has been playing 3 sofs. and a junior . I am like you old school pats, I feel sorry for Watts. He deserves better.
