Beechwood has twice the number of players as Cville. Cville has had a very good run but I'm afraid it comes to an end Friday.

I like the idea of cutting down to 4 or 5 classes and taking the top 16 in that class for the tournament. Then you can go the way of NCAA basketball and have an NIT tournament with those other teams. Or you can go like NCAA football and after the 4 playoffs teams go with bowl games. The bowl games you would have to have sponser, but it would be a way to maybe give some of those lower level teams something to work for on a year-to-year basis.

Cville played a very tough non distrct slate for a 1A team. They seem to be coming together nicely as the year has moved forward. I like Cville to win but the concern I have with them is depth. If CC plays several guys and are able to wear them down it could be a long night for the Eagles.

CAL wins but I think Etown keeps it somewhat close, 14 points or less. This is Etown year to make some noise

No sleepers in 2A, IMO it's just so top heavy. Glasgow has a very good team but will be matched up with DeSales/CAL in the 2nd round, then play the other in the Regional championship, then mayfield in semi and Danville in finals. That would take putting 4 almost flawless games together. Truthfully it's not many schools in the entire state who could put that together in back to back to back to back weeks.

Adair will be playing with a lot of new guys. According to KHSAA stats the leading returning rusher only had 16 carries for 112 yards, and the next guy had 12 carries for 59 yards. receiving they only had 4 catches for 34 yards returning. They do have a couple guys back that seemed to be good defensive players, but seems like a MAJOR rebuilding year for the Indians.

I agree the kids need to get acclimated to the heat. Say school ends today May 15th and nothing football related until July 10th. I would worry about putting a kid out there in the heat of summer. But an easy fix to that would be push the start of football season back.

Hard for many small "rural" schools to put together a TRUE freshman team together. Harry Doyle yes it very common practice. Not only does it have to do with player numbers, I think it also has to do with the number of coaches.

Ok I ran both of Graves tenures together and forgot about Teague. Your 100% in county schools when you have numbers and talent it's time to win some games. As i said I think Foley will do very well.

I guess I was thinking Gay was there longer than he actually was, as I thought the job has had more stability than Taylor County but guess not. Folks in Taylor County are saying this Freshman class is the best group they've ever had come through. I think Foley will do a good job at Taylor, but will a good job be enough for the folks at Taylor County.

5 coaches in 9 season isn't a good track record. That's the main reason why I think the Adair job was a better job last year than Taylor county. Going through 5 coaches in 9 years is for sure a red flag imo. At county schools it takes time to build a program because they must be built from the ground up. You must get the little league going to get numbers. The amount of turnover is crazy. Coaches aren't giving time to be successful, I feel they need at least 4-5 to get at least a group of kids from freshman through their program. Such as winter lifting, spring ball, and things such as that.

I agree 100% and I'm glad a new coach got a chance beside just recycling old coaches, and especially those who haven't won in their previous HC jobs. I was just stating the fact I'm sure TC ppl will question the hire, not saying I am personally questing the hire. Taylor isn't a very good program and threw money at Hilton and pulled him in. Personally I think Hilton did as good as a job as could be done at Taylor county. 7 wins is a GREAT season for Taylor county imo. And their was rumors that perry Thomas would take the job. I hope foley does a good job, and honestly if offered the Adair county job last year should have took it IMO. Taylor County has been through numerous Head Coach in the past 6-7 years. Seems that it's just unreal expectations for that program. As said a playoff would is an amazing season for them.

Rumor Mill has Foley the middle school Coach at one of the Pulaski middle schools. Yes I'm sure ppl will question the hire. Does Foley has any high School exprience?

And with John Hardin coming open I can see it making it even harder on TC

That would be a reality show I would like to see. To me showing success at a school such as Taylor County would be stringing winning seasons together.

Taylor County doesn't have any type of football tradition, I think Dudley has done as good a job as could be done at Taylor County.

Thanks for the info Watusi. Also do those other Elementary schools field a 6-8 football teams?

A few quick questions about Belfry/Pike County schools district. I also would have thought Belfry was an independent district. That got me curious and I went to the pike county school website. I seen that there are 5 high schools in the district, but Belfry is the only middle school. Is that information correct? If so do all the kids go to Belfry Middle? Or do the Elementary schools go to 8th grade?

Second, WKU is an absolute joke when it comes to pricing and fan friendlyness. That's why they have attendance issues at their home games. Concessions is highway robbery. I never buy anything just out of principal, I don't care how thirsty I am. Then their ushers which are third party people brought up from Nashville were harassing people about their seats. Cops even had to be called. They tried to tell just a few people the red chair backs were reserved for VIP and you had to have a specific ticket for them. That's never been the case that I know of, everyone just sits first come first serve. I don't even know where you can buy VIP tickets, but even if they do exist it was never enforced. I ran into a similar problem a few years back with the club level red seats. I like you always thought seating was first come first serve since the majority of ppl at Club level watch from inside. As for the Blowouts I would have enjoyed seeing the JC/Belfry game. And I would have enjoyed BG/T game. I also would have liked for CAL to try play a Belfry or JC. Personally I would like to see the classes cut at least 1 class.

DeSales put a running clock on Glasgow. Washington beating Metcalfe says a lot of Glasgow district.

Etown with a running clock

Metcalfe only has around 25 players. They have a very good QB and solid and a solid ball club, but I think the numbers hurt them and FS rolls to a big win.

Give them an A, they hired a very good coach once Harp left.

I understand your point. And by winning I was talking about winning season. To string together 6 or 7 winning season in a row at some of these Rural county schools is impressive.

Not sure where this is going, as myself nor anyone else said Gay was a bad coach. I actually said the exact opposite.
