DevilMayCare

I didn't expect Barrick to stick around for 10-12 years, but I thought it would be more than two. Russell basketball hasn't had a long term coach in over 30 years. It's hard to build anything with that kind of coaching turnover.

Selah has narrowed his list down to the following 10: Kentucky, Louisville, Northwestern, Boston College, Stanford, Central Florida, Cincinnati, Illinois, West Virginia, and Wake Forest

Caden was named QB MVP at the Rivals camp in Indianapolis earlier today. You gotta love seeing a bluegrass kid shine against the best on a national stage.

I love seeing the best play one another in the regular season. I think Danville's stock only goes up with this result. The small school Ads went toe to toe with one of Kentucky's baseball giants.

As noted by @BillNye in the open job thread, Coach Price has been an assistant at MNH since 2009. He was a standout, All-American offensive lineman at Western Kentucky in the early 2000s.

Coach Washington had Paris on the uptick for a while, but things slacked off the last two years. It's hard to sustain excellence at a school that small. Numbers are always low at Paris, both on the football team and in the hallways. Depth is an issue. That's one of the challenges awaiting Coach Rice. He, being a local guy, knows what he's up against and I think that's a good thing. I wish him good fortune. There's a championship pedigree there. I'd love to see him guide them back to the 1A conversation.

Akron is taking notice of bluegrass QBs. They offered Veltkamp and Humphreys both yesterday.

There are 13 other players tied for that record, spanning from McKell's Don Gullett in 1969 to Apollo's Brennen Krahwinkel in 2017.

West tied the state record for strikeouts over seven innings.

Rowan run ruled the Tomcats back on April 22nd behind Mason Moore's no-hitter. So much depends on who takes the mound on a given night. Moore did not pitch tonight.

Phone died at the worst possible time, just when things got tight. Bartrum looked good - especially his breaking ball - until he ran out of gas in the bottom of the seventh. The second baseman should have tucked that final ground ball away instead of trying to make the throw to 1st. It wasn't close, but it's hard to blame a kid for trying to make a play. The 63rd district, as usual, should be a battle to the end.
