  1. Congrats Cooper! You guysndeservednthe win! Best coached team I've seen this year. Your kids are so fundamentally sound and play their roles to perfection defensively. Very impressed! I hope you guys win the state championship! God bless Ryan and Logan and Greg and the other 3 seniors for Franklin County you have certainly been a joy at 23-2 the last two seasons from 1-9 four years ago. Just was not our time, but we have two very bright, hard working, young offensive and defensive coordinators and a very good man leading our program. I believe Franklin County will remain a solid program for years to come. Again, congrats Cooper and go win it all!
  2. I believe 4,000 is entirely possible! Especially if what we keep hearing about Cooper bringing 4-6 busses of cheerleaders, band, students, fans. We were also told that Conner may have a contingent there as well to watch the game. Parking is actually pretty good. We have the actual football lot as well as the entire front of the school and the teacher lot on the east side of the building. Also, Elkhorn Middle School has additional parking as well. None of the non-football parking lot options require more than a football field or two length walk. Food options on east side of town are several good mexican restaurants and BW3's! Should be a great evening for all, hopefully just a little better for the home team!
  3. I would be cautious about putting either of these two teams in the finals. If Harlan Co. Central wins over Pulaski Co., either team will have a VERY difficult time going to far southeast KY and winning. But, yes good luck to both teams. I am sure it will be a great environment and exciting game. We seem to make most of our big games exciting.
  4. I know little about Cooper, so like some who get on here and "claim" to know about a team or player or student body, when they have never witnessed any of that, I will make my comments constructive to the game and what I know. I am going to take the Flyers in this one 49 to 39. I believe our speed and athleticism will make the difference if we can get Cooper to play us in space. If not, we will struggle to offset their very well coached defensive team and strength up front. I think our defense has improved drastically over the last 3-5weeks. However, since I have zero knowledge of Cooper's offense, I will reserve any predictions about the outcome of that matchup except to say I do not think they have the two players Conner has in Fogle and Barker (both studs). A question that I do have, and maybe someone can answer for me, is what type of kicking game does Cooper have? Not all this on-side kick stuff, but rather field goal kicker and punter??? There are rumors flying that there could be as many as 4,000 plus people at this game! Wow, that would be awesome!!! Great environment for a high school playoff game.
  5. Folks Barker is a great major D1 Talent! And I was very impressed Friday night and last year as well. I made it a pointto seek him out and let him know what a great player he was after the game Friday night. However, for the life of me I just do not understand why Logan Woodside does not get the same attention??? He is an absolute stud!!! Throws a beautiful ball has size, strength and an unmatched work ethic! No slam on Toledo, but I truly believe some major D1 schools are missing out on this kid??? Again, I am taking nothing away from Barker, but I believe Logan and Barker are on par with one another and truly the best two QB's in KY. Oh, thanks again Anderson Co. for allowing us to have him - what a bad decision to let that kid leave the Burg... Carmichael was a very good HS QB, but not a Logan Woodside, who has all the intangibles to play at the Major D1 Level. Looking forward to seeing Barker next year as well - prolly the pre-season favorite for Mr. football 2013!!!
  6. Mike Leach - "You didn't score that touchdown, Michael Crabtree did"! Brack Obama - "You didnt start that business, somebody else did"! Wow, please not this clown...
  7. I would say Tommy Tubs is off the list for his meltdown and ripping the headphones off his assistant. His assistant should have clocked his arrogant butt. And the fan base choice Mike Leach (other than home wrecker Petrino) has now yet another allegation of player abuse and mistreatment. What's the old saying about smoke and fire - just saying... Looking more and more like a coordinator hire or a young mid-major hire for the Cats...
  8. I will be concerned if we only post 35 points - as that would mean Cooper has completely controlled the tempo. As a fan, cannot wait for this game! Hope this week moves by quickly... I must admit I know nothing about Cooper other than the comments on here about their D and how they've been scoring lately.
  9. What an emotionally wrenching and rewarding game! So proud of my Flyers! It was an amazing will to win that got our kids through! Sorry folks, but Timmons has just got to be Mr. Football - best I've ever seen as a game changer. Plays with 1 other D1 kid. Quick plays with 17 D1 kids. Congrats to Conner and Coach Trosper on an amazing two year run of their own. 22, 7, 13 and 29 are legit! I was proud to congratulate them on their great performances after the game. Classy kids! This next week should be so much fun at school and in the community!
  10. How old are Conner and Cooper both? I was under the impression they were less than 20 years old? Am I wrong? I did not remember the crowd as we were pretty demoralized, so that was the last thing I was watching? : - ( The Franklin County crowd should be huge! So, if Conner travels well, several thousand should not be unreasonable.
  11. I would hope to see a huge crowd for this one! Anyone know how Conner travels? Several thousand people would be nice! People who have no allegiance to either team should come see this one, it will be a show!
  12. 5 straight on-side kicks and recovered 4. Basically the equivelant of four more turnovers. 3 picks, 4 fumbles (including 1 on the half yard line going in for a score to put us up by two TD's and 2 plays later, #29 goes 80 plus to the house to tie the game) and 4 on-side recoveries = 11 turnovers! : - (
  13. I agree he is a great coach and his game plan last year was born of necessity. He knew we were gonna score, so why not on-side kick it and take a chance on getting the ball back? Both teams will score big tomorrow night. I can assure you he never imagined 84 points and 700 plus yards rushing. They were awesome. I believe our coaches will be just as great this year. Should be a dandy!
  14. Well I waited until today to weigh in on this one. I am taking my Flyers 51-39. Not sure, just thought it looked like an interesting #. I'll admit I am biased, but I sincerely believe that Ryan Timmons is Mr. Football and Logan Woodside is the best QB in KY. That being said, Conner is a great team and has fantastic weapons of their own, including a very good coach! Last year was so disappointing for Flyer Nation and I do not think our school was ready for prime time. 33 years since round three overwhelmed us and our kids were shell shocked! This will not happen this year. Much more mature team and very determined bunch of kids with great men coaching them! Taking nothing away from Conner, they flat whipped us and deserved to win, but this group is wired different! We improved through addition by subtraction and got rid of some problems! Whoever wins will have my support moving forward through the playoffs! I just hope it's Navy and Gold! The Flyers are all I've got since my Hounds went home quick!
  15. Would love to see my Flyers in Bowling Green. However, these are high school kids and you never know what you are gonna get any given Friday night. I believe Conner, Cooper and Anderson Co. are all potential obstacles. However, take nothing for granted as Scott High, Montgomery Co., etc. could make all of these fun debates irrelevant. Anyone who comes out of this region will have a tough journey to the mountains for semis as well. Playoffs should be exciting!
  16. A good young coach who will do things the RIGHT way!
  17. With Coach Pietrowski in charge I would Corbin can always expect good things. Great Coach!
  18. I know very little about Cooper. However, Anderson is well coached and does not tend to beat themselves. They do however get out-athleted from time to time. Five losses in 2 seasons - (2) Bryan Station, (2) Franklin Co., (1) Bowling Green. Common denominator = SPEED! Peach will have them prepped and ready.
  19. I would not call Corbin mediocre. This year's team may have had a sub-par record. Program is still solid. Problem in Corbin, is too many people (fan base) are stuck in the 70's and early to mid 80's! Different era folks! Corbin has not been elite for a long time or won a title since '82, and I am a Corbin graduate. Sorry.
  20. Ease up on "class" comment. Coach Trosper is a class act and very good coach. Sometimes emotions get away from kids. Does not mean they are classless.
  21. Actually, they have to come to Franklin Co. for round #2, if we beat Scott. Of course that is not a guarantee as anything can happen in high school sports.
