When exactly did Dale decide to abandon ship?

Sorry, but it's not an either/or. HHS had a new coach that wasn't shunned by the other NKY coaches. That coach wanted to avoid long, costly trips to the nether regions of the state. (The "luxury charter" busses broke down frequently making for a really enjoyable trip.) So, he could -- and did -- schedule more local games. The coaches believe every year that HHS can compete with anyone that is willing to play them. Dale did too. Dale just didn't have other coaches clicking "reply" on his emails to the coaches' listserv when he was looking to fill out the schedule. I doubt that the HHS coaches would schedule Dayton if they called for a game. But if you think HHS would have ever preferred to pay $5,000 for a 4 hour bus ride to western Ky than play Ryle, SK, Cooper, or a few other NKY teams, you're lying to yourself and all the rest of us.

So, now JOAT's post isn't the gospel anymore?

So, other coaches that wouldn't schedule Highlands because they didn't like Dale is on Highlands?

Indeed, it ain't rocket science but some still seem to be struggling with it.

Scheduling schools 3-4 hours away every year gets old. What's the definition of insanity?

Despite your apparent lack of interest, thanks for stopping by and leaving the 14 emoticons.

So, why is it that Cooper and SK came calling this year?

Be careful how you read this post -- and don't skip any sentence fragments -- or it gets really inappropriate. I don't think their feelings are hurt because they're reading the negative things written out there. To me, it looks more like they're trying to find a solution to the current slump so they can go back to dishing out the beatings.

More like many pages of a few fans complaining.

I liked the "Why did Cooper move to 6A?" thread.

Wow!! 100 years since a record like this? That's impressive.

Seems like the folks in Independence like fat cheerleaders.

Do tell.

Wait for it . . . .

Which of your outrageous posts are actually jokes?

Sportsmanship noobs?

Don't get it. Please explain.

Let's just stop feeding the beast.

You're not expecting a purge, are you?

Do you think that might just be UK1's way of elevating SK?

Not a slam on Cooper. UK#1 told us that SK is way better than everyone else so shouldn't they beat Cooper, and beat them by a lot?

Surprised to see you say that. If Dale came back, SK would have to fill an open spot on its schedule.

SK by 31. Anything less and SK is really suspect.
