That is weird. Website shows him in two places that season. He was at Newport in 2021 though.

Weinrich’s 2nd season at Campbell, not 3rd.

Sounds like a smart coaching move to trust Hoge and others players input….. Weinrich & Hoge worked perfectly together and the result showed.

He was trying to find a HHS administrator because a student from HHS was cussing him while he was watching their freshman kicker’s PAT. Some heckling is understandable, but not the extreme this student was doing. After speaking with HHS principal, he went to the line and stayed on field talking with many current and former players, parents, coaches.

I didn’t say you were inferring they were not aware. I simply made a statement that concludes he is healthy, he could really help the offense, and that you are correct about him playing defense. Sheesh, defensive much?

I would say the coaching staff is already aware of his ability to help since he played both ways in the GRC game.

Asst coach Ryan Hahn.

According to the highlands-bluebirds website, it looks like 8 losing seasons prior to the 3.

3 losing seasons in last 8 yrs. 2014: 13-2 2015: 8-6 2016: 3-8 2017: 6-6 2018: 10-3 2019: 6-5 2020: 5-6 2021: 5-6

Yep, pretty sure it was 2016 because they had to travel to Doss.

Been a long time since Highlands entered district playoffs as #4. All the way back to 2016. Two fun games next week!!

He did not apply. He was offered the AD job months earlier & turned it down. He absolutely could have handled both jobs, but he didn’t want either.

Helmets have a shelf life (think 10 years) and it’s also a requirement for them to be sent out after each season for an inspection. The inspection company determines which helmets are useable & which are not. New helmets were bought to replace the shelf life & out of commission helmets. From what I was told by Equipment reps, Weinrich followed the same process for helmets that Mueller did. His main concern was protecting the players in all safety requirements, even regarding the required pads. I’m confused how a player doesn’t know how to win. Every player and coach prepares to win. Never known of any to prepare to not win. HHS beat Ryle, Dixie, & Conner last season; seems like they ‘know’ how to win.

My comments about going 4A had nothing to do with either coach’s ability to be a head coach. It was about who was the decision maker on the previous alignment and who may be the decision maker on the next one.

I agree! Travel to Corbin was a result of that & maybe even Boyle & Paducah too. You are correct the previous coach wanted to move to the correct class and he was told by the powers to be that it wasn’t his decision. If it is now the current coach’s decision, well there you have it….. Egg on the powers to be face for not listening to one coach’s reasoning (who was a HHS football alum & coach of 20+ years at HHS) and then listening to another coach who would probably have the same reasons for the decision……the team.

The players loved it! When a defense player got to add his name to the can, the team went crazy & looked for the can to spike the ball in. It may be stupid to you, but it wasn’t about you. 2020 season was quiet in general due to covid, so anything to add excitement & fun was a plus to an already season of no ozone, fans, limited number of players on sidelines, etc

In the last alignment cycle, the Board (not all) & many “donors” were against it due to travel expenses for the 4A district & they were not going to look like they were running from Cov Cath as a district game. What’s changed?

Don't worry about Newport. They are just fine!

It was already on the schedule before Weinrich became coach. It just got added to KHSAA website today. Definitely not his first task.

Pay is based on level of education (Rank I, II, etc) of the individual & years of service, not whether person is a middle school or high school teacher. Someone mentioned the transfer of unused sick days, they transfer with a teacher if staying in state of KY. I’m not sure if public vs private matters but Newport & FTIS are public.

Do you know if Umberg is still there or did he go to Mason Co?

Not sure about that one, but maybe when they see each other out & about or on the beach.

You seem to have a personal issue with Weinrich. I think being at HHS since 1995 is the opposite of “can’t muster it up at Highlands”.
