Yes he is. Certainly Moore's loss.

The previous coach tried to work it out where he would leave PRP (where his industrial arts job was moved to) early in order to get to Moore by the end of school, but the Moore principal didn't want a head coach that wasn't in the building.

Actually the Tigers had 4 consecutive winning seasons from 1958-1961 (6-3, 5-3-1, 7-2 and 7-2-1). Kenny Arnold coaching the 1st two and good ol' Earl Browning the second two. Also Wally Oyler had a 3 year stretch (9-3, 6-4 and 7-3) from 1978-1980. But we see where you're coming from.

Is Boehm going to be the principal next school year? Or is he just a temp? And there's no way Bob Redman will let anyone, even his principal, tell him who is going to play QB on his team. So Jeff. looks more of a fit than Manual.

I have heard Central as the destination.

If he chooses to coach this coming season, I'd bet on Joe going to Providence.

You know Pete, it longs for the good 'ole days at Manual, when all the negative fan support were a few "less than sober" ex-players - a.k.a. "The Jersey Guys".

The Beechies almost won 7 in a row between 1991-1997. The one they didn't win (1995) was a 28-27 loss to Mayfield. And of course there was that highly controversial finish vs. Murray in 1994.

in the mid/late 70's JCPS teams played 11 game reg. seasons.

Central did it it 2007 with 5 losses.

Tilghman may be the first to win a title with 6 losses.

The State Title games were a week or two before the Male/Manual game when it was on Thanksgiving Day. Matter of fact Eastern forfeited the state title to Male in 1960 because it didn't want to wait two weeks for the City Champion to be decided. They also didn't want the footballers to miss the start of basketball season. Back then all of Jefferson County was the entire class 3-A, there one district with all the city teams (Manual, Male, St. X, Trinity, Flaget, Central, Bishop David, Atherton, DeSales, Iroquois and Shawnee). The County teams were divided into two (and later four as more schools opened) districts and had sub-playoffs. the County winner played the City winner for the 3-A title. The entire rest of the state were either 2-A or 1-A. This format was used from 1959 through the 1974 season, the following year 4-A was born.

Or lets make 6 more classes. :lol:

They get sick and personal days.

Just under 6 minutes left - still 21-16 Central.

Central up 21-16 - didn't catch the time.

I think this is the year DeSales finally gets by NCC. DeSales lost to 6-A Seneca by one score and 6-A Fern Creek in OT. DeSales advances 21-13. Then the P-Burg/Corbin winner will have to travel to Louisville, where DeSales will pull through. Unfortunatly for the Colts the big, bad roadblock named Fort Campbell will be waiting at the end of the rainbow.

Central 27 Henry Co. 7

1st round: #1 seeds 48-0 vs. the #4 seeds. #2 seeds 34-14 vs. the #3 seeds. 2nd round: 11 #1 seeds got bounced. Only 3 #3 seeds (Tilghman, Lexington Cath. & Sheldon Clark) advanced to the regional championship. 5-A is the only class to have all 4 regional championships pitting a #1 vs. #1. Only 2 of the 16 regional championship don't have a #1 seed.

St. Xavier 38 Simon Kenton 7. Simpson will only see 100 yards if they leave him in when St. X's defensive 2's and 3's get in.

Actually Friday was only our 6th playoff win in school history (the school will be 50 next year) and only the 2nd time Western has advanced to a regional championship. The only previous playoff wins were in 2003 (1), 2005 (2), 2006 (1) and 2009 (1). Certainly without Orlando we face an uphill battle, but backup Craig Williams is a serviceable replacement. He is our QB of the future, the future just came a little sooner than we expected. We also have big play threats in Dominic Turner (1485 yards and 15 TD's on 179 carries) and Cortez Ricketts (930 yards and 10 TD's receiving on 37 catches). Leon Melvin has 10 interceptions, despite covering the opponents best WR every game, he also 7 TD's and 300 yards rushing on 31 carries. Both lines are solid with 4 seniors on the offensive side and all 4 down defensive linemen are seniors as well.

Gary was the OC at Manual from 00-07 and the head coach at Atherton from 94-99. As long as he is at J-Town, they will continue to get better.

A great win, but a costly one. Western QB Orlando Wilson suffered a season-ending injury tonight.

If Central's coaching staff is "deficient" don't you think it would have shown at least ONCE in the last 10 playoff games?
