I have heard that Brendhan Haynes, a very qualified assistant currently at Lloyd, is applying for the job. He would continue the excitement and expectations that Stratton started.

What about Brossart's fascilities?

I would go further to argue that Central wouldn't have any titles if they were playing in 4A or above. They have benefitted from six classes more than any other school in the state.

I am putting this out there again, and maybe someone will prove me wrong with Louisville, but NKY has ten teams who have won state and 14 teams that have been in the finals. Does Louisville have that type of sucess? Maybe they have historically and I don't know about it.

1.NKY 2.Louisville Metro 3.Boyle County 4.Western Kentucky 5.Eastern Kentucky 6.Central Kentucky 7.South Central Kentucky

I will repeat myself from another thread. NKY is the only area in the state that has had ten different schools win a state championship, 14 appear in the state finals, and every school in the area, but Scott, that has had football for more than a decade had made it to at least the third round of the playoffs. Louisville is second, but the facts are that Louisville talent is sectioned off into a couple of schools that have had most of the sucess from the area. Central has emereged recently, but they have also been without a doubt the biggest beneficiary of the six class system that has allowed them to get away from having to beat teams that they couldn't in the past. Danville is titletown. The West has a couple of good programs, but overall, the west is pretty weak. Eastern KY lacks speed, but has many well coached hard playing teams. Lexington is the biggest underachieving area in the state when you measure talent vs. sucess.

Thanks...forgot about Dayton.

One error, nine state champions, if I am not mistaken. Beechwood, Ludlow, Bellevue, Lloyd, NCC, HC, Highlands, Cov, and Conner.

Nky football can make claims that no other large area in the state can. For instance, eight schools in the three county area have won state in football. Additionally, four more have made it to the state finals. Every school that has had football for more than ten years in NKY, except Scott, has made it to at least the third round of the playoffs throughout the history of their program. There is no area in the state that can make the same claims, including Louisville.

I know many people involved in Trinity's program. I know that none of them were upset with him. They all expected him to be extremely good at Trinity, and do the same thing when he left, which he did. As far as being a liar....you forget that Beaty had to build back when he started. In 2000 they lost to highlands and lost bad to Male in the finals. In 2004 they lost to Dixie in the second round of the playoffs. He has done a phenominal job and will continue to do so, but don't act like their fan base didn't have faith in the man before him. Two losses to the state champion and the state runner up? That game, btw, was decided in overtime between X and Station.

Its more than you think. Lloyd, Ludlow, and Bellevue have also won state. Connor has won state. Ryle, Boone, Sk, and Cooper have all been runner ups.

Get your facts straight. He left Trinity for a better job at the time, Indy Warren Central. I watched his team beat Elder when they won state in Ohio in 2003 56-16. He won state in Indy at least four times in a row, but I don't remember his name.

Are you saying Highlands was down? Conner lost to Cov that year who won state 7-3. The previous season before that loss Highlands won state. Dale has built Highlands into something bigger than it was before he got there, but lets not act like Highlands was down when he took over the program.

How about Gary Dearborn at Franklin?

Why would anyone wand the Dunbar job???

I can't remember. What did the lawsuit find was said to the kid when he was complaining of being lightheaded? Was he told to stop and take off his helmet immediately? Was there a payout in the lawsuit? I do know that everyone I know that played for Tom Duffy didn't believe for a second that he was not responsible in any way. Of course, that is for the courts to find out, and Tom Duffy to know. I do think Duffer was on a raw end, but that is part of being a head coach. You are responsible. It doesn't matter what the temperature is, if a kid is showing sign of heat illness, he is supposed to stop activity immediately.

So you are saying undisciplined talent?

I am assuming that something must have happened that is being kept on the hush, because there is no way he should have been fired for a lack of wins. If I am not mistaken, he had just beat Beechwood and NCC in his second year as a coach. Therefore, I would say through results he had things going the correct direction on the field.

Pendleton County went 4-7 with 17 kids in district play and had a state semi finalist ties at halftime in the playoffs with 17 kids in 2007. They went 7-4 in district play in 2009 with 24 kids before the districts were changed. It is always good for kids to be able to play football.

There have been too many four seeds make it to the region and beyond. If you don't want to participate in the playoffs, drop out of district play.

I have been to their games. Attendance is down everywhere in our area. That doesn't mean you keep charity money. If you don't have a problem with that conduct, that is your right. I do, and anyone that wants to talk about someone keeping their word should as well.

You are wrong. Dale knew very much about it. No one in the association ever thought that it would require a signature to have coaches uphold their promise to a scholarship fund. Once again, the hypocrasy hold no bounds. Dale DID intend to participate in the event, and made it clear in the meetings. He did not say when he was keeping the money that there was any misunderstanding, he said he didn't make enough money this year and was keeping the Potter gate due to a lack of gate from NKY competition.

The cash cow said he was participating during pre season and didn't pay up when it was time to. I suppose you can call it a misunderstanding when someone lies.

What does that matter? Dale made the committment to the association and the Potter fund, then he reneged on it during the last meeting. Whether Highlands had the bucket or signs out for donations during the scrimmage makes 0 difference as to whether or not the gate was pledged prior to the season. It was. He didn't make as much as he usually does at his gate this season and chose to keep the money for the program. It is what it is and it isn't pretty. The quest for a spin on the situation is comical.

So you have no problem with Dale keeping money that was promised to a scholarship fund? That is a load of crap. Highlands has one of the largest gates of anyone in NKY. Its fine for him to lie, but if someone backs out of a game, they have no moral rectitude. Wow!!!
