We did lose a player this summer due to grades. With the new coach's emphasis on grades, and higher expectations this shouldn't be a problem in the future. Coach will be checking grades on a weekly basis and boys with any grade lower than a C will lose playing time. Coach Copley has arranged for after practice tutoring for those that need the extra help.

Had a good turnout last night for the opening of mandatory practice. Coach met with the parents before practice started and introduced his coaches and talked about his expectations. I loved his emphasis on grades. He will be stricter than the very poor KHSAA standards.

:thumb: Well said!

It was great seeing all the future musketeers at the skills camp last night. We had a great turnout. Work on the field is progressing. Located and replaced a majority of the sprinkler heads. After the rest are repaired/replaced the field will be reseeded. The middle of the field is growing well, just some patchy areas on the sides to handle. Thanks to everyone who came out to work.

The Boosters are having a work day this evening at 5pm at the field. We will be cleaning out one of the sheds under the bleachers. (Preparing for the new bleachers to be installed.) Any and all help will be appreciated!

Lifting starts again Monday morning (Youth Camp in the evening Mon - Wed.) and mandatory practice starts Thursday. There will be a mandatory parent meeting with Coach at 5pm on Thursday. Hope to see the stands full!!!

We appreciate the compliment. It has been exciting to see the interest in Greenup County and all the improvements in our facilities and staff. I can not wait until the season starts!!!!

43 days!!!! We had a productive booster meeting last night. We also had the opportunity to tour the remodeled locker room. FANTASTIC. The old smelly carpet is gone, everything is cleaned, painted and the floors redone. The lockers have been updated. Coach and his staff have done a wonderful job moving this project along.

Having this level of confidence, definately makes for a good team, possibly a great one. As long as they balance this against overconfidence, or "cockiness" they should do well. Don't underestimate any team, especially Greenup, this year!

Ram, I agree with your point whole heartedly.

Not sure when this is scheduled but will try and find out for everyone.

Thanks for the clarification CoachJ

Any thoughts on if we will see any new players come out for Mandatory practice?

:thumb:

Heading into dead period and then Mandatory Practice starts for Greenup on July 16th.

The boys looked really good last night against Russell, Fairview, Boyd County, Lewis County and West Carter.

:thumb:Thanks for the info

This game was cancelled. The boys travel back to Johnson Central this evening.

Hope everyone can come out tonite for 7 on 7. The scrimmage will start at 6pm and we will play Johnson Central. The game will take place on the practice field.

I am not sure why he did not show up. All the lineman went to camp, (we had about 17 including defensive ends.)
