3 Division one players in their starting lineup, so yeah its pretty rough. QB has been the issue to cost that group every season

Indians run the clock In the season opener against the rival Lakers as Steve Stonebraker begins his Adair tenure in a nice fashion. JR QB Lane Grant threw for 140 yards and ran for 80 with a pair of TDS, while sophomore running back Ryder Rogers had 3 TDS and 106 yards rushing.

Indians host the Lakers to start the year with new head coach Steve Stonebraker taking over and many returnees from last year. Lane Grant takes over QB duties now for Adair after being the lead running back the last 2 seasons, while Solomon Stonebraker the coaches son joins as a receiver and had 700 yards with 10 Tds last year at Casey County. Russell County won this matchup 27-14 last year but have lost some key contributors with a starting running back transferring, and 2 lead receivers deciding not to play.

The 6'6 Cochran already holds 2 division 1 offers from Tennessee Tech and Eastern Kentucky University

6'10 2024 Nice Ngandu has enrolled at Bardstown. Not sure where he was before this. He moved to the states last year from Congo. Plays AAU for BMaze Elite

Ballard losing to both Rockcastle County and Washington County was a huge shocker

2026 Landon Blakey has transferred from Taylor County back to Larue County where he went until high school. The 6'6 big averaged 8 and 6 as a freshman starting for Taylor last season.

Was able to watch some teams today at Lexington Catholic throughout the day. Adair County defeated Graves County 55-54 Madison Southern won big over Dunbar and Shelby County GRC beat PRP by single digits Grant County defeated PRP Adair County defeated Lincoln County 78-76 North Laurel defeated Adair County 59-44. Adair led that one at half but it was their third game to North Laurel's first game. Lexington Catholic defeated Madison Central by around 30, then Green County by 25 as well.

The 29 year old Tinsley was an assistant for Edmonson last season and has also made assistant coaching and middle school coaching stops at Glasgow, Logan County and Grayson County. His dad is former head coach John Tinsley and his brother Ryne is the new head coach at Apollo

Have heard the Epps situation has been in the works for a bit now.

Keith Adkins has taken the job at Mercer County which means this job is now open. Look for Anthony Epps the former Campbellsville coach to be a front runner for this one.

He is not a flashy High school coaching name yet but for NAIA he's had 11 20 win seasons and was 3 time coach of the year in the mid south conference. Could not do much better if you are Mercer.

Was coach at Life University in Georgia for 2 seasons. Coached at Lindsey Wilson College for 2 seasons and now been coach at Campbellsville High School the last 3 seasons winning 2 district championships.

I have a source who has said Adkins has accepted the job. We will see if they are right but that's what I am hearing.

Adkins has been very good at 1A school Campbellsville winning 2 district championships in 3 seasons with a talent pool that pales in the comparison of what Mercer County would give. He has had to play a slower pace and win games in the 40's/50's with Campbellsville due to the talent but in college his teams played much faster.

Johnson is a Bardstown High School alumni and played 4 years at Brescia from 2014-2018. He has been an assistant coach for Bardstown the past few seasons and also helps coach with the Moss Elite AAU program.

Thomas is a 2004 graduate of Marion County and was previously the head coach at Lebanon Middle School and longtime assistant coach for the boys high school team.

Cooper takes over after 2 separate stints at his hometown school Garrard County

Word is Russell County has their coach just has not been officially announced yet.

One big downside to Russell County job now is the addition to Monroe County in that district last year making it a 5 team district. Now you have Cumberland Co. who is up and down, Metcalfe who has been very solid the last 4-5 years, Clinton is down from normal but always solid, and then now Monroe who joined the district last year and was runner up.

Heard longtime Marion assistant Matthew Thomas, and former UK player and high school head coach Dale Brown as names for this one.

Any word on candidates for this job? Been around a month since it became open.

Any news on this job? Been around 2 weeks since it was posted.

So the 12th region name is the one you are hearing too?

Have heard a couple possible candidates. Last years freshman coach Eric Bennett who also was the former middle school coach. Also possibly a current 12th region head coach.
