Thanks @gchs_uk9...I edited that into the first post.

Winner-winner, chicken dinner. I LOVE the Bryan Station logo!

Covington Catholic 2015-Present Logo

Eastern Kentucky University 2004 Logo

So I got curious after these two comments and took a little bit of a deep dive into this. I think you guys are thinking of a similar, but definitely different Colonel logo for Caverna. I went back through a whooooole bunch of Cavernal yearbooks HERE...they have nearly all of Caverna's yearbooks from 1923-2000, and none of those have the Colonel logo shown up in the original post of this thread. They appear to have used the same logo throughout all of the 1950s and 1960s, then in the 1970s they appeared to move away from most Colonel imagery, save for a Colonel bust on the side of the football helmets (the best close-up version I could find was on the back of the football team's rain gear in some pictures from the 1977 and 1979 yearbooks). The 1970s logo is somewhat similar to the logo they lifted from Covington Catholic in the 2010s. In the early 1980s Caverna moved over to a different Colonel bust logo that they kept through at least 2000 (it was even on the yearbook cover in 2000), and then I don't have yearbooks after 2000 and had to go with Google image search. In the mid 2000s, Caverna lifted the EKU Colonel head logo and started using that. The earliest Google image search hit I got on Caverna's usage was from 2007. The logo was trademarked in 2004 by EKU, but Caverna changed the color to purple, added a calligraphy 'C' on the Colonel's hat, and then wrote the word "Caverna" onto the brim of the hat. Very creative and COMPLETELY different from the EKU design, right? 😂 Then in the late 2010s, Caverna lifted the Covington Catholic Colonel logo and started using it. Covington Catholic trademarked their logo in 2015, and the earliest Google image search hit I could find for Caverna's usage was from 2017. They took the Cov Cath logo, changed the color to purple, and switched Cov Cath's 'C+' on the hat to a calligraphy 'C'. They also switched from a sideburn mustache to a big old handlebar mustache and they drew on a little chin beard. 1950s-1960s 1957 1966 1970s 1977 1979 1980s-2006 1983 1984 2007-2016 2007 2017-Present

As I postulated in the Bourbon County open job thread after David Jones resigned to accept the head coaching job at Mingo Central (where he grew up), Coach Jones' hiring is going to have at least a bit of an impact on the Belfry Pirates. The Darryl & David Sports Network is reporting today that Belfry WR/FS Aiden Burke ('26) has left Belfry to "go back home" to Mingo Central. Burke was a varsity starter for the Pirates last year as a freshman, leading the team in pass receptions and wide receiving yards. On defense he was 9th in tackling, but led the team in interceptions and fumble recoveries.

Per the Open Job thread.

Good catch...thanks, Hornet!

Looks like they have since corrected the error regarding it being his final season, since he'll still have one year of eligibility left after the upcoming season....but a couple of cool pictures of Jack, who was named 3rd Team Preseason All-MAC.

Cov Cath is having the playing surface replaced over the summer. From the looks of things, they're opting away from the alternating dark green/light green stripes. Bummer. I thought that looked sharp. It gave the field a little extra "pop".

For a school their size, possibly. But Trinity pretty frequently has 4 out of state teams on their schedule. Last year they had 6.

I was out running some errands this morning and swung by a few stadiums that have had/are getting work done on them this spring and summer. Here's a look at Newport Stadium, minus its 84 year old concrete grandstand. I didn't walk over to take a look, but I think I saw surveyors stakes marking either footings, or utilities for the forthcoming stands, and they were starting excavation for that on what will be the north side of the new stands.

Any word on whether or not South Warren has filled out their schedule?

The Bethlehem and Marion County dates have flip-flopped since Washington County originally released their schedule.
