My son just graduated from GT this past Saturday, he was recurited and played for Craig.I worked with his dad for 7 years and new Craig when he was 8 years old and was able to see the man he had become. I admired him and appreciated the role model he represented to my son. He is a man you just can't say enough good things about. He will be greatly missed. Prayers for his family.

Just heard OC Mullins was diagnosed with lung cancer, We wish him the best of luck. We will be praying for him and his family and hope you will join us with the prayers

Craig is a very good man first and and good coach. My family will also be praying for him.

This. It amazes me that people actually seem to enjoy watching the life of a young man spiral out of control. Success breeds jealousy, and jealousy breeds contempt. Dont know this young man, but I sure am glad so many people on here live perfect lives and have perfect children.

AMEN, I was trying to respond to this, and you said it better than I could of. I've know the young man for years, does have a good heart. Hoping always for the best for him, pray he does get on the right path.

So that I can understand...no more feelings for his well-being, but, like a TV report, you're curious about what will happen to him?

I for one will not give up on him. Confident he will get through this, we all face bumps in the road, even one's we may bring on ourselves. We all fall down, what do we do to get up that counts.

Did Mcfarland and coaches keep their coaching positions?

Has there been a decision made?

This is sad. Todd is a great coach and an important piece to Boone County success over the recent years as a jv coach and his development of players on his aau teams. Coaches need to be allowed to coach.

Ouf Family agrees 100%, you want your son to get good developing skills and basketball knowledge, send him to Todd, not a surgar coat issue man, you know where you stand as a persson and a player. He will get the best out of the player and if your not giving him the effort he is giving you , well your going to know it, and if a parent wants to confront him about their son, your going to hear the truth, no politics.

Todd can stand alone on his coaching record, especially at Boone and his Jv teams since he has been their coach. Thaman needs to quit trying to carry her son, let him earn his playing time, good lesson in life, mommy and daddy won't be there when your competing for a job in the real world to support your wife and family. Hope to not sound over the top, but this parents carring their son through spots up to the high school level then the son finds out what real competion is for playing time and caan't keep up, then parents decided to get on the coach for it is unacceptable.

Unfortunate that Todd is put in this spot because a Boone administrator decides to use what influence she thinks she has to hopefully find her son playing time next year. Do your principal job and let Todd do the job he was given to do by Boone County.

You have the right to move your son to any other Boone school because of your positon of working in th Boone system, better you do that than to hurt the Boone basketball team for the future for your own wants.

Same here.

With you 100%.

He will be succesfull.

When you are a 6A school who I'm sure two platoons quite a bit, and you give up almost 33 point/game (8 out of 11 opponents scoring 31-45 points), the Air Raid is the last thing you need to be concerned with.

 

With that said, a guy that took the Boone County program to 3 State Semi appearance in the last 9 years, along witha run of 10 consecutive winning seasons just resigned. Wanting more and never being satisfied is human nature, but here is guessing you just lost a guy who was a pretty good football coach. Maybe it has a little more to do with the ole' Jimmies and Joes, instead of the X's and O's?

I agree 100%

Boone with Thompson won the Regional Title just last year and made it to final 4 in state.

Their Sr. and Jr. classes are just down in talent at Boone. Boone has some good talent in the Sophomore and Freshman classes.

Agreed, coach Thompson can't play for them, for the most part I would say in NKY, at least 75% or even more go through years when the talent level isn't there, I know each year some one is alwys wanting coach Thompson let go, but each year he is still there, why, the administration seems to back him. I know the haters are going to get all over this, but there is a bright future in the coming years.

Good football player, worked hard own his own in the off seasons to become the player he was at Dixie.

Congrats

The youngster got some good minutes tonight. The kid that started for Boone in the 4 position and his sub combined for 7 fouls in the 11 minutes of the game.

 

Brendan has a chance to be a good player next year. Needs to work on ballhandling and developing a pull up jumper. Good athlete. I hear he's a really nice kid.

Very good Kid, very polite, works hard of the court.

They announced Zeke Pike from Dixie Heights High School, Edgewood Kentucky. Great job Zeke I only wish you the best

in your endeavors at Auburn make yourself and Northern Kentucky proud. JD

I agree with you 100%. I bet there area lot of kids and parents that would like to see their son's in a game of this stature. there is a lot of pressure on Zeke to perform and do what it takes to be an Auburn QB. I wish him and his family only the best, just the beginning of a long road. Zeke will be ok.

Very welcome!

 

BGP has had a long relationship with Jimmie Reed (the games Executive Director) and we are proud to be a sponsor.

Last year my son played the the bowl game and had a pretty significant injury, Jim Reed was very helpful in all the issues that arose with my son all the way through his rehab. He is a compasonite and thoughtful man, stayed in contact with our family through his rehab. Runs a very good bowl game.

I get that. Absolutely. However, I question a coach who fails to use his weapons in a game where his offense can't really score.

I agree 100% Clyde. When it comes down to winning the state semi final game you can't be counting on a blocked punt or an Int to win the game for you. You have to be able to pull out all your weapons when it's time to get a score. Scott Con isnt going to allow a blocked punt on the ten yard line. Competition they will see this Friday will be different then they have seen all year.

I hope BC the best of luck and hope they can pull the W out. But seeing both programs so closely, Scott Co is going to be to much for the Rebels. Scott Co- 36 Rebels- 14.

Congradulations to the coaches and the players. Beat Ryle at Ryle, good win.

Is it to early to ask which team will be the home team between Boone & Lafayette?

Whichever way it goes, I wish Coach Thompson the BEST! Class individual!

I agree 100%. Hope he stays if he wants to.

21 to 21 Seven minutes left in 4th quarter. Game delayed to neck injury to Madison player, left field in ambulamce.

Boone can pass also, this should make a difference. Boone should win.

Im really curious to why they haven't made strides to adding a football team to the University. Would or would this not be beneficial?

What happened to Bruns??

I feel like since the additon of Cooper, Boone/Ryle rival has really died down! Also with Boones program being down so much the past few years has really hurt the intensity of the game as well! In years to come it will grow back!

Travis is an inspration to all his peers on the football field. He has made him self into to the player he is by his total commiment to the sport through his didication to training and hard work in practices daily. I have been fortunate to know Travis and his family since he was 9 years old. Great parent support and a kid even at that age you could see would become a special athlete, he was above average in all sports he played, he ended up chosing football, and we have all been lucky to watch him grow and preform up to this point. I look forward to going to WKU and watch him once again. There is nothing that will stop this young man, yes, this is a big bump in the road, but as everyone has stated before me, he will over come this and I wouldn't be surprised if we could we could him playing some where down the road on Sunday afternoons.

I'm not sure about CovCath or Beechwood but I heard UK#1 will be giving free hayrides from SK.

Excellent, FUNNY
