nothing posted to the EKC sports Twitter page about any changes so far

good idea in theory, a few issues. 1. Now both teams are traveling along with fan bases will equal more expenses. 2. The crowd will suffer, granted with a long drive one school may not bring many people but would cutting that drive in half bring enough people to make up the difference. 3. You would have to pay to use most facilities costing more money. I say stay as is and you hope you host the game the next year.

I will take Central by at least 14, I think more than that but will take by 14

You trade film because you are getting the film back in return from the other school. Most places, I can speak for ours have small enough staff that we don't have the people to send out coaches to scout others. If we have someone interested in coaching they are on the sideline. Most schools don't have the resources to send out scout crews.

the problem for a bunch of schools is the way the state slots the district schedules now, meaning certain weeks are all district games across the state for the most part. The schools that drop out would have extreme travel or go out of state to be able to schedule games unless multiple schools in there area did the same thing. I think this keeps a lot of schools from going that route.

West won the game no doubt, but they almost returned a kick for a td, got a TD late when East was throwing every play on a pick 6, East turned it over on the 15 going in to score, so I don't know if I would go with the whole "made the game closer than the score". Like I said West won, congrats to them, but don't act like it was a blowout.

All the Morehead coaches that were mentioned left for higher positions, or to go to a larger school. Would not call that an alarm. Would say that's good coaches that are advancing a career.

The East /Russell is correct, so you know one night at least.

go to priceline and look at the express deals tab. I use this every year, it gives you the number of stars for a hotel and the location. It gives you a much cheaper price but you don't know what hotel it is till you book. In the past I've been in the Holiday Inn University Plaza 2 times and the La Quenta last year. This is paying well less than 100 a night. When I looked this year you could book a hotel like the La quenta for around 50 and Holiday Inn for around 70. These are all pretty nice hotels and priceline restricts the hotels to all be high rated by customers, its all right on the website.

if they are going to play on Sunday, they should move the times up in the day. For me its about a 5 hour drive home, so a 6 central kick gets you out of the stadium by 9 maybe then 5 hours back home makes for a long night

In that case, does anyone know of one of the organizations that would cover the coaching side of things, if so my KEA membership may go out the door.

Louisville would be so much easier just from a travel point, Teams in western ky hit 65 and go north, Lex hits 64 and is there, NKY hits 71 and is there, even south eastern hits 75 to 64 and is there, the parkways going to BG are terrible. Plus like people have said, who cares about the empty seats, pretty much every state out there plays in too big of a stadium for the finals.

There's a bunch of schools already done, kind of tough to judge how to rank players on rosters

This schedule sucks, the khsaa has bent over for Rawlings money, the games were moved from Louisville because of the same stadium situation, if this schedule stands this will be the lowest attendance ever for a finals weekend.

Greenup needs to go back to rolling the bone at teams, solves the time problem and personally I think they are more affective out of it.

called KHSAA yesterday, was told the games would be at WKU on the weekend that is scheduled, not sure of who will play what day or times but I was told get my hotel from Thursday through Sunday morning like normal and I would see the games.

In the words of Lee Corso, "not so fast my friend!"

Teams played 5 games, 30 min each. It is more of a work camp than tournament. Both teams get as many reps as possible for the 30 min. Score is only kept by the kids as there is no real tournament, it's one of the best camps I've been to for a team to get work in.

If EKU's plans to move to FBS come to life it would be perfect. If they add a new visitors side that would be similar to WKU and be in the central part of the state it would be a perfect fit.

I would say it will seat probably 6,000 to 7,000 people, it goes 100 yards on both sides and all the way across the end zone. Pretty good size stadium if you ask me.

The one things I have always been disappointed in at Raceland is the actual playing surface. They have decent everything else, nice new scoreboard, new press box things like that, I never have understood why they have not tried to improve the field. It may be the worst in the area that goes along with a pretty nice rest of the place. If they would fix that part up it would be a great overall place to play a game.

Once a piece of crap, always a piece of crap, Turner strikes again

I'm pretty sure Ashland is not playing in the tourney this weekend, may be wrong but I think you can count them out

Take East Carter off the list, beat west carter Sat night

Tough win for the Raiders! After a slow start they turned it on in the second half.
