Not very many I would suppose, but that's just because it's not the "it" thing right now, a lot of those guys winning state titles in the spread would still be winning them in the Wing T.

Congrats to the Polar Bears!

What all does Paris have back? It's been a quiet summer on their end. They're a historic program with great athleticism year in year out seems like. I think it's them and Nicholas before the year is out.

Easy, Bracken County returns 76 district points from last year, how many does Brossart or Paris return? It wouldn't surprise me to see Paris or Brossart right there in the thick of things though.

I've talked with two coaches I know about them and both have had positive reviews thus far. How well they hold up will be the main thing and was the most common complaint with the Rawlings. If they wanted to best ball on the market Wilson would have been the best choice imo.

That's tough to replace in 1A.

Did Ludlow lose a lot? They have had a successful run the last few seasons.

Does Ludlow traditionally lose many kids to Beechwood?

Best ball on the market and it's a shame that we can't use it like other states. Ridiculous.

Any news? Where did this come from? Seems to be a little late in the game to try and make a change now from a school perspective, unless Kevin is wanting to leave on his own.

Aaron was posting on behalf of Garrard County, where he is an assistant. I didn't see anything from Grant County.

Because most of the time he's driving 2-3 hours one way. Johnny Poynter wins games with every style imaginable under the sun, he's a straight shooter and people don't like that, simple as that.

Will be interesting to see what happens with this one.

I'd say business as usual for Bath, Peterson was just an assistant there, correct?

It's 1A Football in KY, Dayton will be fine, it goes in cycles. Finishing with less than 20 is really not that uncommon, probably happens more times than not for over half of the class. Take away your Beechwood's and Pikeville's of the world and I would say the average number of players on most 1A school's roster is somewhere between 25-30 at the beginning of the season, throw in a few guys that quit and some injuries and it is easy to end up with less than 20 by playoff time.

I think Bracken has a shot to win some games next year. It looks like they return most of the kids that contributed. The offense and defense was vastly improved statistically from 2014 to 2015 so with them not losing much I would expect another jump.

I don't get where people are saying they need to step up their strength of schedule, where Brossart is currently at, it doesn't matter who they are beating as long as they are beating someone. This program done a great job of fighting back this year with a strong group of seniors, often times in high school sports, you've got what you've got. I see them taking a step back next season because of the massive loss of that senior class, it's just extremely hard to replace a group that large that done so much for them at any 1A school not named Beechwood. They will still be competitive and a winning season would not surprise me.

Decent at some of these schools would be great at Bell.

Any reason on Jaggers? In my limited knowledge of the guy he's done a decent job wherever he's been. Is Bell still at the point to where they could pull a bigger name?

Every program in the nation has a guy like this. It's sad really, coaches are only as good as their kids, when Parkey has talent he wins, when he don't have it the wins are limited, same as any coach in the state.

Beatty is a heck of a coach but some places just aren't going to ever be perennial winners, you just have to ride the waves when their high and try to schedule to prevent the huge crash when those waves start to break.

It's just amazing how many people think High School coaching is somehow similar to coaching college, too many variables that are out of a coaches hand in some of these situations. Put a Bob Beatty at Jenkins and see how many titles he's winning.

No, actually it isn't, in most cases the contract in writing is littered with terms such as "provide students with a positive role model", etc. Haven't looked at many district contracts that say you must win this many games. If the school is throwing resources and things at the program such as colleges do then it is acceptable, unless they are running things like a college or pro program then no it is not acceptable.

I would hate to be a non tenured teacher that was asked to resign from a coaching position I am going to say the chance of you coming back to a teaching position in the school in that situation is very slim. Your argument is still invalid, Hard to teach a full day of class and be the best coach you can possibly be.

Or short ones depending on how you look at it.
