KHSAA recently ruled that because the rule change was late going before the general assembly, it would not go into affect until next year. So we get a reprieve!!!

I am excited that we are going to have passing league in June. This will give all of us die hards a "football fix." The boys will be lifting in the morning - 10-12:30 pm then come back on Tues./Thurs for passing league at 6pm. Go MUSKETEERS!

Good turnout last night at the Booster meeting. Coach spoke about the status of the program. We still have a core group of boys hitting the weights and following the new meal plans. Each boy will soon receive a "grade card" from the coach, showing positive feedack and areas for improvement. The grade cards will include items such as; leadership, dedication, and academics as well as specific football skills.

Thoughts and prayers from Greenup County.

Thanks for the update, recpark. I think we are supposed to get scattered showers off and on, for the rest of the week. I can't wait to see everything when all the planned improvements are completed later this year. It is going to be fantastic! Anyone at the BOE Meeting last night, that want to share an update?

I agree, this should of already been started. I thought a bid had been accepted and they had planned to start before April 15th. Hopefully this information will be shared tonite at the meeting.

Don't forget we have a booster meeting Tusday night at 6pm in the school cafeteria. Hope to see another record breaking turnout!

Our family's prayers are with Brian. He is a tough kid and I am sure he will be back stronger than ever!

Congratulations to the Musketeers!

Does anyone have a report from the Board meeting last night? Did they share the plans for the new Filed House?, umm excuse me, I meant "external physical education facility?"

This was such a fun day. It was great to see everyone out supporting GC Football.

The protein shakes, egg whites, and bread for 7 sandwiches a day is certainly adding to the grocery bill!!!! Of course, it will all pay off in the long run!!! Looking forward to seeing everyone on Saturday. It looks as if we will have a great day for the golf scramble, 75 degrees and sunny!!!

It was wonderful to see how committed the BOE is to improving things at Greenup County. The plans/schematics for most of the new improvements should be ready to be viewed at the next Board meeting.

This is one of the major benefits in my mind!!

Congratulations to this young man.

135 Days! When mandatory practice starts this summer we will finally see who among our boys in Greenup County really want to play football. Coach Copley intends on some pretty intense practices, which will include two mandatory camps. One a mini camp at the HS will start at 8am on a Wednesday and last until 11pm on Friday night. They will practice early mornings and late at night to avoid the heat. They will run drills and stairs in the gym during the hottest part of the day. They will, for nearly 72 hours, eat and sleep football. No cell phones, no tv, no xbox, girlfriends, etc to distract them from the cause!!!!

Congratulations to this young man, his family and coaches!

Now that Spring Practice is over the boys will be hitting the weights every day after school. They need to bulk up, Coach wants most of them eating every two hours. (Break out the tuna fish and peanut butter sandwiches!!!)

Yes, this is true. They are going back to white helmets with black face masks. They are also getting new uniforms. Coach Copley is still looking at the different options for the uniforms and dealing with vendors to get the best price possible. We will hopefully have a description soon.

:banana: You guys are pretty funny!

Seriously though: Extend spring practice by another week (or two.) I like the idea of starting in April for all schools and not based on the end of each schools' basketball season. Every school playing a full scrimage at the end of this time is good also. Bring back June passing leagues. I agree with RAM that it was a good way to get the boys acclimated to the weather and also improve conditioning. I would like all schools to start contact on the same date, regardless of their school start date. (Two weeks after the start of summer practice.) Let schools schedule when they want to play their district games, it should not be mandated. (It seems like their is a growing consensus on what needs to be changed for the benefit of KY Highschool football!!)

Yea, you may be right but you better hope corn-hole doesn't get sanctioned as a KHSAA sport or the tide will definately turn away from B-ball! luv it!
