Call me naive but I would say that coaches would be the homers that pump their program regardless of what is said or how bad a particualr poster thinks they may have played. I doubt coaches are raging on their own team because I would think it would be an attack on themselves and their ability to prepare a kid to play on Friday. If a coach felt strongly enough to blast a kid on a message board wouldn't he also be able to sit that kid down and not play him. I just don't envision attacks on kids by someone that coaches him or her

We may need a 3rd party to confirm but it is my understanding that Central was never included in the quotas that restricted the other schools because they filled those minority quotas with english as a second language students which is why they have so many foreign students. Most of which are from Africa making them minorites but also meaning that the are black. They do not have that many white kids I would say less than 10%. Kids born and raised in Louisville do not go to Male or Manual because they failed to get into Central. Especially not athletes. Granted they are not suppose to use athletics as a cause for entrance but I am sure that the admissions committee looks for a certain amount of athletes so that they can atleast field teams in all the sports. Extracurricular activities regardless of what they are have to carry more weight than someone with the same grades who does nothing else but attend school.

Yeah the high school games.

Any of the coaches heard anything about when this weekends games will be played?

Not sure that Central's success will ever effect Male because those students are in the traditional program and the reason that a majority of those kids parents put them in the traditional program is so that they can go to Male. Those kids that can get into Manual choose Manual for the academics. Central doesn't have a feeder school and gets whats left from those 2 schools sort to say. In a lot of ways that is still not anything to look down your nose at because they do a heck of a lot with what they have. The entire Culture of Central football has changed under the direction of Ty Scroggins. Maybe in a few years we will be talking about parents choosing Central over Male and Manual. Can anyone say DYNASTY.

We can both specualte as to what he meant but one doesn't right lacks discipline when he means to say they can let their nerves get to them. Having seen both games I can tell you that the team that showed up against Manual was night and day from the one that beat Male. They had 8 turnovers vs Manual and none vs. Male that and controlling the line of scrimmage were the difference. That being said I think Male keeps it close.

I would have loved to of seen them come to Louisville to play Louisville Central. That next to Male - X would have have been the top game in the state. It might have been a shock for JC though. Anybody that went to that game will tell you the atmosphere over there was bananas. Everyone from the team to the dancers to the cheerleaders to the band to the parents put on a first class show.

Male doesn't seem to be able to throw the ball and I think you have to be balanced to beat X. It would appear that they only threw the ball out of desperation against Central other than when they got into an empty set earlier which they had success on for one big play. But Central blitzed everyone and played man to man and Male went away from it.

I agree with the assessment that Central should have won the Manual game and coach Nichols says the same thing but I digress. I will say that the score board doesn't reflect the domination of Central over Male. They were robbed on a clear TD late in the 4th and missed a wide open receiver on an over thrown ball on the first play of the game. Males only TD was a result of an obvious blown coverage because nobody lined up over the TD in an empty formation that resulted in Male's biggest gain of the night. Central made great adjustments at halftime and controlled the LOS and the time of possession. Not sure that Male had a first down in the second half.

If beating up on smaller slower schools during the regular season and then getting beat in the semi finals or finals of the playoffs is your defintition of anywhere then I am sure Central would rather take a couple of L's against the big boys if the end result is a RING.:sssh:

I would like to see Louisville Central turn the corne and actually beat some of the big boys this year. They have arguably the toughest schedule in the state. Playing the big boys helped them in the 3a playoffs but not beating any of those guys drained some fan support. There games should be sold out and beating the big boys this year will be a big key to regular season fan support

I know that its the dead period but are we really going to debate who the top Sophmore to be lineman in the state is.

Not sure that them landing one TE means that they could not still offer and land Vogelsang. How they project the current TE's on the roster and what seniors are graduating will determine how many TE's a school signs in one year.

Louisville Central DT Mister Cobble commits to UK after attending camp. 1 down 4 to go. From what I here they could have as many as 4 D1 seniors off of that defense this year. Not to mention the MLB and Nose tackle who are only going to be juniors. I think that the biggest misconception about Cobble is that he is only 6'. I have seen him up close and he is every bit of six one and a half if not six two. Not sure of what the staff at UofL is looking for but UK seems to be putting in a lot of face time here in the Ville. I am both a Central and UofL fan and would have loved to of seen him in the red and black.
