Mayor of Paintsville

Congrats to Cole! The best is yet to come with this fine young man.

Bell's Hopslam = best beer EVER! :thumb:

I am against expulsion but IMO these players should be suspended from football for one year to give them some needed time to mature. They should take whatever punishment the University hands down for inducing panic/causing a lock down. Air soft guns may not be considered deadly weapons but to another student who many never have seen one, they can sure look like the real thing.

If she was beaten that brutally, I wonder how in the world could there NOT be evidence on the defendant or in his truck? This was a very terrible tragedy and hopefully the Commonwealth has some stronger evidence forthcoming.

I'm still waiting to see how the Marilyn Manson character comes back around.

This years team will be young but they will be well prepared. Look for Koby Carlton to lead the point and they will have size in the middle with Noah McCubbin. Mason Wilson will also contribute at the guard position. There will be no doubt that every player on this team will know his role.

One large McDonalds coffee every day....LOVE my McD coffee!

I still can't help but laugh every time I see the clip of Bill Clinton denying having sexual relations with "that woman" ... Ms. Lewinsky.

Who is the coach at Villa?

If you are on top of a car I think I would jump off instead of shoot the driver. If you shoot the driver the car could go out of control killing everybody. If I was the cop I would have jumped off or not jump on the car at all. I would have shot the tires out.

Monday Morning Quarterback.....

....

Gallatin County 6'8" big man Troy Phelps commits to Otterbein University in Westerville, Ohio.

Congrats Troy!

High school coaches will give an opportunity to a talented MS player if they can help the HS team win. That also gives the coaching staff a year or two to convince the MS student to stay for high school and continue playing. Sometimes it works and they stay, sometimes it doesn't and they transfer.

My son just got engaged today. Hopefully he will have as many happy years as you and your Mrs...Congrats!

The citizens cleaned house with city council last election and I suspect the mayor will be next. There was definitely a "good old boy" network in place and the citizens got tired of it, thus, voting Martin in as Mayor. His antics have been over the top, but the city wasn't being run effectively pre-Martin either. It will be interesting to see who steps up to run. Hopefully whomever gets elected will truly do what is best for the entire city, not just a small faction of cronies.

Yes it will. I think he has 381 now. Nice start.

How many varsity points did Cole score at Villa Madonna last year as an 8th grader? Wouldn't those points count towards his varsity total?

Is he their tall kid?

Yes...6'8" senior

Troy Phelps at Gallatin County has 90 recorded blocks so far this season.

Any chance Michael Sam could sue the NFL for discrimination if he is not drafted? Or not drafted "high enough"?

Wasn't at the game, but IMHO I find it hard to believe that the Cooper player under the basket who got the ball would take the ball out of bounds and inbound it IF it didn't go in. Most HS players I've seen would be looking at the refs to plead the case of "no basket", not contine the action by inbounding the ball. :idunno:

Does anyone know if Hemmerich or Lamblez are getting any college looks to play? They both seem to be leading Conner this year.

If, in fact, Orr didn't make a racial slur, I wonder if someone else close by did? Perhaps it was said & Orr is getting blamed because he was running his mouth the entire game? I do believe Marcus Smart heard something that he interpreted to be a racial slur. I also find it very hard to believe that Orr is apologizing & not attending the remaining games just because he said "piece of crap".

IMO it was a great hustle play and block by Smart! I do think the three game suspension is appropriate. I also think Texas Tech needs to distance Mr. Orr from their program. As someone else stated previously, more will come out about him, it will just be a matter of time.

The Texas Tech AD said he felt this didn't "cross the line" ... Sounds like the Good Ol Boy network is alive and well at Texas Tech. IMO the school should revoke Orr's tickets. As far as Smart, I believe he should serve a 3 game suspension and move on.

Final from Henry County. Nice win on the road for the Gallatin County Wildcats coming off a tough loss to Carroll in the All 'A'. Congrats to Coach Jones and the team!

Work-Study might be a nice option if they were to go that route and make an "all in" commitment to winning basketball games.

This will NEVER HAPPEN
