Work on the Field is underway and the construction for the new fieldhouse is due to start June 1. Great news!

I believe that GC is a team heavy laden with a senior class that is talented and strong. If they keep their heads, Coach Copley could have a nice year with this group. I am not sure what they have coming after this year, but this should be a good year in Musketeer land.

That is what we are hoping for!! The boys have really worked hard this off season and we have big expectations!

I will never begrudge a high school student-athlete the opportunity to:

 

A) Further their education,

 

2) often with great financial benefit,

 

D) continuing to play the sport they love.

Amen!

We had a great turnout for our Annual Golf Scramble. Thanks to everyone who came out in support of Greenup County Football.

I was paddled in the 4th grade for reading a library book that I had hidden inside my history book. Doesn't sound like that serious of an offense, right? But, the teacher had instructed us to read our history books...

Now I am amazed at the things that go on in the classroom. Calling the teacher names, insubordination, destruction of school property, fighting, etc. Bring back the paddle!!!

He is an 8th grader at Wurtland Middle School.

You going to provide any substantive info or just pop in for a one liner every once in a while?:popcorn:

:dancingpa Glad to be back talking Football on BGP (I never stop in real life!!) I hope Raceland has a great year! (except for September 10, of course.)

I heard Dustin Stout was moving to Raceland. If this is true GCHS is losing a stud tailback.

And it starts...(lol) Since the ice has been broken I will jump right in there...All of the members of last year's "transfer-gate" are back at Greenup County and a large part of our 20 member Senior class have played together since their early JFL days.

What a difference a full year in the weight room has made for our team!! The boys have also matured and become more disciplined under Coach Copley. I am looking forward to a great season!

Very nice Congratulations!

I think everyone had a great time. The boys looked good!

Really looking forward to the game tomorrow evening and the picnic afterwards!!!![/QUOTE]

 

You are right about that Recpark, Hamburgers, Hotdogs,and Sausages smoking on the grill! AND the sounds of pads popping!! What more could we ask for?

Coffee - lots of sugar with milk

Sweet tea - Decaf and very sweet - we make it almost every night.

One more week until we get a sneak peek of the 2010 Musketeers in action. Lets Get Fired Up!! The Greenup County 2010 National Cheerleaders will be recognized during the half-time period. I hope everyone can come out for the game.

Finally a Greenup County thread. The boys are looking great for spring practice. Excellent numbers! The numbers they have put up in the weight room this winter have been awesome. With the addition of some new players we now have 20+ Seniors. The bulk of them having played together since their JFL days. Can't wait for next Friday Night!!!!

WOW I don't know where to start on this one... It is difficult to believe that there is still so much sexism in this world...or is it just Kentucky?

I understand the point being made by Hearsay...BUT when there is a clear indication of guilt, DNA evidence, confession, etc. Let's just brand them in the middle of their foreheads as a warning to others....

I know they had a huge Senior class last season. In addition to Kyle Smith and Cody Prichard who else will need to step up?

Both Ram and Braves1 make some very good points. I think Football would benefit with changes to how the Spring Practice window is handled. These things, in addition to working/coordinating with your school's other coaches, can create a better environment for everyone involved. Greenup will hold their practices later in the day to allow for other team's practice schedules.

I don't get the "better weather" argument. Heck yesterday it was 50 degrees and sunny. Perfect weather. Suppose to be in the 50's all next week.

And I am sure the boys will warm up real fast!! Greenup County will start this coming Thursday.

The addition to the language allowing a school some discretion in scheduling Spring Practice sounds fine to me. I am just glad that it is finally here!

Congrats to Greenup :thumb:

I believe Boyd also placed in some type of national competition ?

 

Could someone more knowledgeable explain to me how these cheer leading competitions work ? Give me an idea of how the tournaments are set up ? And most importantly, does anyone know roughly how many teams will win a national title of some sort this year ?

 

I've always wondered why the cheer leaders didn't do it like other sports. State championships based on school size ?

UCA is the gold standard for Cheerleading competitions. They have been in existence for 30 years. The squads compete in various categories. Such as small varsity, medium varsity, large varsity, super varsity, coed, etc. This is based on how many girls are on a squad. So a school with 10 cheerleaders does not compete against a school with 30 cheerleaders. Most schools must compete and win in a regional or state tourney in order to advance to nationals. I believe there were 18 different classes this year. (over 400 squads from all across the country.) The UCA National High School Cheerleading Competition is the only one aired by ESPN. It is usually on tv sometime in April. Check out UCA.Varsity.com for more information.

Everytime I watch I get cold chills! Greenup will be holding a parade and reception for the girls tomorrow or Thursday, I will post once details are finalized.

Congratulations to the best cheerleader's in the land!!!!!!!!!!!

:ylsuper:

They were in Large Varsity - Division II . You are right about Kentucky being the center of the cheerleading universe. There is a lot of talent in this state!

The Greenup County Varsity Cheerleaders won the National High School Cheerleading Championship in Florida today. Congratulations to all these fine young women, their families and their coaches. This is number 13 for Greenup!

I would also like to recognize Boyd County who took second place in their Division.

Congratulations to all!
