It wouldn’t be the same without it!

Just a way for businesses to support the local school and get some advertising from it.

Great Crossing names second football head coach before school opens | Lexington Herald Leader Sounds like he will be running a "spread" offense with RPO concepts.

Fleming County has not hired a coach yet.

Fleming County's kicker, Austin Paige signed with Centre.

Fleming County is posted on here and KHSAA.

You don't think Belfry will be tough this year?

I think they will be improved from last year. They started several young kids, or played several young kids, last season. They will return 8 starters on each side of the ball. Their district looks much different with Russell, Bath and West Carter gone. Fleming beat Mason, Lewis and Pendleton last season (which was considered a down year) and return more than them. Powell is kind of a wild card to me. I don’t know a lot about them. I know they made a good run 2 years ago and will graduate a stud running back this spring. With what they return and with some quality young kids moving up to varsity, I think they will be much improved from last season. The key will be turnovers. This season they turned it over a ton and didn’t force many. If they get that in check, I look for them to have a good year.

Do you know if their games will be televised?

I do see it. I am just saying every other sport does what they complain about football doing and everyone doesn't make it in football. Also, like I said the number of schools playing football in Ohio greatly outnumbers that in Ky.

Not every team makes it in football. Many districts have 5 or 6 teams and yes, some have 4 or 3. In Kentucky every team makes it in every other sport. Are district tournaments not just like the playoffs for football? My thinking is, any time you get an extra week of practice with your team and play a game, it is a positive. Ohio is much different than Kentucky due to population and the number of teams. What works for us might not work for you and vice versa.

Unfortunately, many believe that. And because of that they want to argue about making changes to football constantly. I have never seen an argument on a basketball page to shorten the season or limit the number of teams making the district tournament or regional tournament. The number 4 seed in basketball plays the number 1 seed every year, right? Why not eliminate that? For instance in the 64th district Ashland will play Rose Hill in the first round of the district tournament. By your argument they shouldn't play. Ashland just beat them by 35 points a few weeks ago and by 36 earlier in the season. Why play this meaningless game? Is that not the same thing you just said about 1st round football games? Tell me the difference.

With district tournaments about to start in basketball, lets just take the top 2 teams in the district so the other teams don"t have to play each other again. Then, only take district tournament winner to the region. That would cut down on so many games in the district and regional tournament. Kids wouldn't have to worry about getting hurt playing meaningless games (1 vs 4 seeds in districts and district runner-ups vs district winners in the regional tournament). That way there isn't an adverse affect on track and baseball.

I’m sure they kept them for EKC purposes.

I think it was canceled.

Opening up with Scott County seems a little crazy.

When are they looking to implement this if it passes? The 2019 season or later?

I think it will effect attendance as some people and coaches/players tried to watch the games at various locations.

I was told they were all going to be on the same night.

Nice win for the Panthers! Makes next weeks game a huge one!

I have heard that they will continue to play even though they are in different districts.

Is Nicholas still trying to run the spread offense like they did in the grid?
