good knight

I'm a little partial to the defense but I thought they looked pretty good. What did you guys think ?

I am partial to the offense but I believe you are right. The defense seem to play with more intensity and swarmed the ball.

While this is not a scholarship offer, Cameron Bailey from Lexington Catholic, Offensive Lineman (Center) was offered a preferred walk-on position from the University of Louisville. Not bad considering Louisville is now part of the ACC probably the 2nd best Conference next to the SEC. Opportunity to earn scholarship is there with hard work.

I don't know about the 2nd best conference the Big 10 may have something to day about that. Never the less the ACC is a strong conference. A preferred walk on means Lvle believes he is good enough to play D1 ball. They along with other schools will watch his progrss during the season and access their needs. It will just a matter of time before a D1 school offers scholarship. Good job young man.

We seem to hear alot about Bailey, but the rest of the returning o-line deserves some mention.

 

Dominic Castlen, rising senior

Dom's a big strong kid who can play both offensive and defensive line. He plays with good aggression and is very coachable. He continues to come into his own with more and more experience.

Noah Tubridy, rising junior

Noah's an undersized but gritty kid who can play both guard and center. Very good technician and was named outstanding freshman (along with Andy Hickey) 2 years ago.

Colin Carpenter, rising junior

Colin is another big strong kid and like Castlen saw time on both sides of the ball. He's agressive with good technique and drive. Named as Honorable Mention on the Herald Leader All City Team last year.

All are very good players. I would not be surprised to see most if not all these boys playing at the next level.

He was the one doing all PAT's last season right? Yeah that is a lost for the receivers. Besides that JJ kid, how about that Hickey kid? Heard he has potential as well. So if I'm counting my eggs correctly, Lex Cath has Letton, JJ, Hickey, Thompson twins as receivers. Anyone I miss or up and coming from the frosh/ JV team?

6'5" Jordan Hatton

I think there would be a conflict with UK schedule on Aug. 30th for the Bluegrass Bowl. Might be reason for the 29th date.

It's one of the Drew boys ( first name ) I mentioned. Just not sure which of the 3. I think the Saint X Drew has more of a LB body than an O-D line.

Thanks. I remembered that he played/started first of season but I couldn't remember his name or position.

IMO that Bowling kid, his calling card will be on the defensive ILB spot. He has the size, instinct, toughness to plug and fill in the gaps. Those other linemen I mentioned before will fill in the other guard spot and the rest will rotate on the defensive side. Whatcha all think?

There was another lineman that played early in season but got injured and was out most of the season. He was a transfer from St. X . don't remember his name but I think he played defensive tackle. Anybody remember?

Chase Bowling rotated every other series with Brown so I counted him as a starter, a little bit of cheating on my part.

In terms of the schedule everyone flips besides the first two games since they were bowl games. I believe Bowling Green will be their opponent for the Bluegrass Bowl, no clue who will be the first game

Technically you did not cheat. I believe Chase started the Madison Central game when Marty was out with injury.

Clyde hit the nail on the head!! PWO's being able to attend the 1st day of practice with the scholarhip athletes is huge vs. having to, in most cases, waiting another 3-4 weeks when the general student population starts school before you can ever see a practice. In D-1, being part of the 105 players that a team can field on a roster is a tremendous advantage.

Does this allow the PWO to work out off season with the rest of the team?

Can someone explain the meaning of "Preferred Walk On" as opposed to just a walk on. What are the advantages if any? Is the player in line for a scholarship?

Check out Offensive/Defensive camp held at Thomas Moore. Two day contact camp.

Sorry. Correction, Thomas Moore has gone to non contact camp.

Nailed it.

No you missed my point.The original comment was that Catholic would be foolish for not hiring Perry.All I am saying is that Lexington Catholic doesn't have to go begging for a good coach. If he is the choice he should feel flattered. His overall record does not jump out at you. By the way I was curious so I checked. Over the last 10 years Catholic has won 102 of its 135 games or 76% average without a single losing season. If Perry is the coach he will inherit a strong program with a strong returning lineup.

Ever been to Washington co??? He did a great job with what they had. Made chicken salad!

Yes I have been to Washington County. All I am saying is that Lexington Catholic is a prime job and deserves a coach that has a proven winning record over several years, not just a single season.

Lex Cath would be foolish not to hire him.

Why? His record at Washington County was not impressive. Lexington Catholic has a solid football history and needs to be sure they pick an established winner. He would be the one that should feel flattered.

I believe he is saying some of us Net girls will be critical of Coach Petrino and of U of L for hiring Coach Petrino.

In the words of Hillary "what difference at this point does it make". UL knows the risks and will just have to accept the results of their actions. Which evidently they are willing to accept the risks for the rewards.

We have attended several of these NUC combines. There is considerable trianing and instructions, with one on one lineman competition, and 7 on 7. You can start with local combine, then move up to top 100 regional, and then national competition. There is also a 5 star competetion and an All Amercian event. They do provide statistics and and overall evaluation of top players from the competition.

These are good one day events that give players and parents a good independent set of statistics for use for recruiting purposes.

 

These are not 'training camps' but combines. So there can be a lot of standing around but this is worth it for college bound or potentially college bound players.

LexCath - Reese Ryan - QB, Sam Letton - TE, Cody Mitchell - DB, Braxton Couch - DB

don't forget started 2 year started OL Cameron Bailey named MVP Offensive Lineman at NUC Midwest Top 100 combine with invites to NUC All American events in Myrtle Beach and Texas vs World in Dallas. Plus Blue Grey All American event in Tampa.

two sources confirm lex cath coach letton quit today.

Don't forget the offensive and defensive line. Defensive line for most of the night kept Mercer rushing attack in check. Offensive line protected Reese and opened runnig lanes for Logan against a defense that stymied Boyle County.
