Coach Preston

So sorry to read this. Praying for the family and community.

Will do.

Very nice. All those fields.

Congratulations!

If they could convince Jerry Perry to come he would be a good hire. Tons of success and very experienced. Coached there way back early in his career.

Bourbon County has also been filled.

Moore has been filled for about a month. Not sure of the name of the coach. I think he is a former Moore player.

Coaches with the best players?

Good luck to the Golden Lions. Always great kids and people in Lancaster.

Larry French - Middlesboro and several others in his career. ‘Steven French - Currently at Russel County?

Randy Reece Jeff Reece Hope I spelled their last names correctly. Mike Lewis (I believe Hopkinsville and Old East Hardin) Chad Lewis (John Hardin) Tom Jaco (Fort Knox) Trey Jaco (John Hardin) Tom Larkey (Rockastle, Harlan County, Perry Central) Chris Larkey (North Laurel, Rockastle) George Lynch - E town I believe Eric Lynch - North Hardin and Central Hardin David Buchanan and his father (Boyle County) (don't know his first name) Dudley Hilton - Bell County John Dudley Hilton - Bell County

In the email I received It said they would do the request no more than three times. I think that means they would allow three to play up if they can get three to play down? Or that could mean they will only request the bottom three and after that if they don't get a yes then the playing up requests end. It is a bit confusing.

Will schools be allowed to play up even if bottom three schools decline the option to play down in exchange? We have the option of playing down and the way I read the e mail it seemed as though schools asking to play up can only move up if someone in the bottom three in that class is willing to play down. I could be wrong. Does anyone know how that part works.

Two things I really like to have: Really good players and really good coaches. I seem to better when it is that way.

In 2008 I was at Bullitt East. We had a 'loooong' scoring drive with less than two minutes to go to pull within 2. Bell county was a huge favorite. We had to get the two point conversion to tie for overtime. It failed. Heartbreak!! It was amazing to see BE go for two this year and get the win. Fast forward to 2018 at Franklin-Simpson. With a couple minutes or so Johnson Central went down the field pretty fast to get within 2 points of tying up the game and going into overtime. We stuffed them on the sweep and held on to win the championship for the second year in a row. That is also the game we had many people confused when we used a field goal formation for our punt. We were so bad long snapping for punt in the semi finals that I did some checking and decided a field goal snap was our only chance to not lose the game because of punt snaps. Great battles.

Great group of kids and coaches here at JH. I will take all the blame if any is dished out. I will try to be better for my kids. Tough times don't last but tough minded people do. Good luck to everyone this week.

Youngest most inexperienced football team I have ever had. Starting a couple of Juniors that have never played organized football before as well as 6 sophomores and 1 freshman on defense and about the same on Offense. We will improve as we go. Good young talent but literally only one player on each side of the ball with any high school football Friday night experience. Hopefully we can learn each week and be ready when we hit our district. First 5 are brutal for this kind of inexperience. but we will come out (baring injuries) a forged in fire team.

I always loved talking football with Joe. He was always willing to help me when I asked. His football knowledge was second to none. I truly appreciated the common sense he used in his approach. He was a master at understanding how kids needed to be given info in order to use it and succeed on Friday nights. I never coached with him but my time spent talking ball with him made those things very clear to me. RIP Coach.

Congratulations to a tremendous person and coach! Josh will do great things at Lincoln County.

It is really good to see guys looking on the brighter side and not shooting down the kids/schools from the 'lower' socioeconomic settings. Many kids in some of those areas have only their football coach to look to and their school. That's why I appreciate so much a coach fighting in tough settings to keep dreams and hope alive while not having the numbers, money and same community support as many others might. Those guys are so extremely important. Congratulations to C. Foley for being such a great asset to the kids of Frankfort. In all my years of coaching I have never read, seen or hear Craig put down others to boost his program or ego. That is a sign of a great leader and good man. Brian Washington did this for a long time at Paris High School. There are many kids that were/are fortunate to have had these guys as their coach.

Craig is a very good person. You will not meet many better than him. He will be fine.

I would like to ask that you please leave Jerry out of this discussion. This man is still in hospital recovering from major surgery and still not out of the woods. He is my friend and just feel everyone needs to leave him out of this. This post is about an open job. Saying Jerry is salty is to not realize or appreciate what he is going through at this very moment. We have seen two high school coaches pass this year unexpected. As coaches/fans we should respect the brotherhood when it comes to health and family in my opinion. Good luck to all interested in this open position.

I have to add my Bullitt East team of 2008. I think we were like 2-4 and ended up losing to Bell County in the Championship in a an all out war. Had a chance to tie with seconds to go and put the game into overtime but missed on our 2 point conversion attempt.

In my opinion maybe the best ever.
