Coach Preston

I was at this game. I left at the end of the 3rd quarter. There was nothing to indicate any of this would happen. Both teams seemed flat and almost uninterested in being there for at least the 3 quarters I watched. They kicked off at 6 so that might have had an impact. Also, this is a make up game during fall break I think. Anyway, that has nothing to do with the fight. Just what I observed.

Just curious if anyone knows if all players that left the bench area will be suspended next game?

So few people really understand football even at the high school level in my opinion. Running the wing t and wishbone got me to 5 state championship games. Both times we lost the teams that beat us ran some version of the I, wishbone and wing t. I will quote one of the winningest coaches in Kentucky history when some reporter asked him why he didn't run and offense that was perceived to be more fun. He said, "winnin's fun". Also, let me add that I don't hate the shotgun or spread. But sometimes it just does not fit what is best for the setting of certain schools and the kids that play football. This guy pictured here rushed for over 5000 yards in his career. Imagine if I had given him the ball only a few times a game just so we could run a perceived 'fun' offense. He looked like a receiver but I figured out real quick he needed the ball many times a game. Good luck this week to all teams.

In my opinion No they will not go scoreless. They have a good coach that knows what he is doing. I think they will score and maybe get a win or two. The wins will depend if the kids keep showing up and trying.

Will CH get their first points of the season is a reasonable question. I hope they do. Turn some first downs into ball movement and then into some points. I hate to see kids go through this. I've been there once or twice. It is a tough hole to dig out of. We had to do it at JH. The year that the Pittman kid was a freshman (2022) we had 51 players and 36 had never completed a high school football season. We started a ton of 9th and 10th graders. We eventually got it turned around. My first year at Franklin-Simpson we went 3-8. We played a bunch of young kids then as well. 4 seasons later we played for the state championship. Just got to believe and stay the course.

I think that is him.

I don't know if Fairdale returns their Defensive end from last year that was so good. Sorry I can't recall his name. He was a monster. An unbelievable motor. He was so aggressive we blocked him with the back side tackle or tight end even when we ran away from him so he would not run us down. We could see it on film as far as how good he was. But what impressed me the most was how hard he played. Seems like he told me after the game he had an offer from EKU. Even though we beat them it was tough to get anything running his way. Tremendous pass rusher and player in general. I wish I knew his name. I think he was a junior. Good luck Dawgs!!

Jeffersonville High School in Southern Indiana (6A School) is looking to hire a freshman coaching staff of 4. Anticipated 70 freshman football players are incoming. This is a very talented group of kids. Currently we are in the process of the final phases of work on a $55 million athletic facility that includes coaches offices, film room meeting rooms, trainers facilities, indoor Olympic size swimming pool and more as well as a state of the art ten thousand square foot weight room. There will be teaching positions available and para professionals are encouraged to apply as well. If interested Please contact me at [email protected] ; [email protected] or 502-321-8246.

So far I am learning that scheduling in Indiana does not seem to be nearly as controlled by the ruling body as in Kentucky. There are positives with that and negatives. No districts. Only conferences. Seems to lead to a very fluid format in who is playing who and for how many years etc. But keep in mind I have only been at Jeff for less than a month. So, I am learning as I go.

I am blessed to have this opportunity!

I am very happy for Jeremy. I remember watching him play in high school. He was special. I am even more happy that JH got a former player. He will have some good pieces returning and some fantastic coaches to work with. Go Dawgs!!

Congratulations!

Sounds to me like some board members were pulling the super's strings which was likely a result of some behind the scenes agenda by some thinking Benton was not getting the job done for whatever reason. But you are right. Typical admin dumping the dirty work on someone else. SMH.

This makes no sense!
