The Ole' Ball Coach

I would have to agree about this young man's ability to play in the PAC-10! I seriously would question that!

Best of luck to Coach Persinger in his recovery!

This is certainly sad that the topic could even be considered, the economy has just affected everything.

It could that is for sure!

I definitely agree with that! Jason has a bright future. He is willing to learn and wants to succeed badly! Wanting to be successful doesn't seperate Coach Hinson from other coaches, but this young man has a desire, a real deep desire to prove himself and be successful, from what I have seen. That has to bold well for the Augusta basketball program. To have the leadership and experience of Coach Kelsch and the drive and energy of Coach Hinson and the enthusiasm they both have and one would have to think you have a great mix that is bound to equal success. As someone who grew up in that area and has a real fondness for the area, I particularly love the move and wish them both nothing but the very best! :thumb:

No one offended me at all!

That must be really nice!

I can see where it could be read and mis-understood, I do apologize for that guys! I guess it would have been better to have just said they were no longer 1A! HaHa!

You may be right there Scribe, you may be right. Regardless, they will not compete in the Class "A" next season. Again, I truly understand that there are not classes or anything more than 1A in KY high school basketball. Seems a lot to do over nothing really. A point that easily could have been understood had someone really taken the time to read the post. Seems like attacks (perhaps not the best word to use) are what comes more then anything! This stuff is the exact reason I usually choose not to post!!!!!!! However, thanks Scribe.

I am not saying there are classes in basketball, in football there certainly is. All I am saying is that Henry County will not participate in the All "A" if that is what you want to call it next season because of their increased enrollment. No where in my post do I say they will compete as a 2A school or that there are classes in basketball. I say they will not compete in the All A Classic, which you are referring to as the All A, because of their increased enrollment. This is not the first time this has happened at Henry County. At one time it was known as the Class A State Tournament. There may not be a finite number for enrollment, but this is still the smaller schools enrollment wise in the state. I actually said that you can be one class in one sport and another class in another sport. Basketball does not class and I completely understand that, trust me. The point was missed somehow so I am moving on fellas!

Those comments are coming from people on this forum talking about Henry County and them being 3A in football, which they certainly are. Actually Ram I think you posted that if I am correct. However, in basketball last season they competed in the Class "A" regional and state tournaments and this upcoming season they will not because in basketball they will have grown to a 2A school. I really did not realize it was this difficult!

Totally agree that Robin will never leave Augusta Schools. Robin is the past, the current face, and the future of Augusta Schools. I admire his passion and dedication to the school, the athletic department, the boys basketball program, all the students, and the community. He is a giving person and has been so since he was a young man. He comes from a tremendous family and I know his dad is looking down on him and smiling with extreme pride! Keep up the great work Coach Kelsch! :thumb:

Did you not notice the LOL in my post PRESSROW, which I think means I knew your stab at humor, my post was done tongue in cheek! Come on!

Hope all goes well for Coach Persinger, that is a scary situation!

We are not talking about their football class size fellas, this is a basketball forum and the two are not the same. A school is able to compete in different classes in different sports, it is simply the way it is!
