CAT DIESEL POWER

There will always be human error. Could have been the official could have been clock operator wasn't there so I have no opinion on whose fault it was. However, I am curious what being a volunteer vs getting paid has to do with it. Someone volunteers to do a job and they do it poorly they get a pass? The same goes for the paid person if they are getting paid then the blame goes to them?

Wow. The storylines in this game are wild. I am not sure why but I had it in my mind that he was from OHIO.

My guess would be when the admin wakes up and finds a great coach to lead their team. When they finally decide to invest in the program and not run it in the ground.

I think that Burns and company get their first running clock. I can’t see a team that got pummeled by the one team everyone thought they might beat not getting pummeled by a team that took beechwood to the very edge of defeat. One thing I noticed about PC is they are physical and swarm the ball on defense. I am going PC 45 Danville 6.

I think this will be a great HS football game. I am going with the Maroons with the win 22-21 with Burns opting to go for the two to win in late in the 4th. He strikes me as a guy who would go for 2!

Who is going to start at QB for LCA? Have heard they played two pretty early in the scrimmage so just curious if they have narrowed it down to Howard or Penix? This should be an amazing game with both teams having a lot they want to prove.

I respect your opinion and we will just have to agree to disagree. Even on preps which is a much better ranking system than the RPI Graves was 11th which is obviously not top 10. I wish PT the best of luck on the year but their schedule isn't great in my opinion.

I don't think I said they were not good I believe the word I used was strong. Across the board they are not strong but there are a few good teams. When you look at other classes they had several contenders while 5A simply did not. Not knocking them at all but to call a team who finished 11th in RPI and then got smoked in round two good is a bit of a stretch.

How do you define good? Graves was 8-4 last year didn't win their district and was put out of the playoff 51-3. They were put out by the eventual state title winner in that class but even in RPI they finished 11th in their class. All of this in a class that most people don't consider to be very strong right now. So do you care to elaborate on why you consider them to be a good opponent?

Yeah believe it or not I know a little bit about how the game of football works so I understand matchups. I may not comprehend it to the level that you do. However, one thing I do comprehend is that against Cov Cath PT had less than 300 yards of total offense and only 14 pts. Now again I may not be the best at understanding but Cov Cath was not even close to the #1 defense and that same defense gave up 41 pts and over 400 yards to Boyle. No matchup scenario A to Z overcomes that period.

They better keep adding more. Corbin tried the same and it didn’t work for them either. PT got put out by a team BC beat 41-0 so they will need a whole Cold War worth of stock pile!

The mighty dollar could be one? The fact that he is from there maybe? Not saying they are good reasons but they are reasons to leave SW for Russell.

Had a little birdie tell me today that it is in fact Foley and will be announced tomorrow. While I trust the person that this information is coming from it wouldn't be the first time that I had reliable information that ended up being false. So I guess time will tell but hold on to you seats this may be getting interesting.

Congratulations to the co-defensive coordinators! The defense seems to be in great hands.

The workouts are only an issue when they lose didn’t you know that?

Can you do this for all classes?

I don't dislike their chances. I am just going by how they may be health wise and mentally after the game against Corbin. Not saying Corbin is world beaters but I assume it will be a physical war that can take a toll on any team. I personally hope that Pulaski goes 10-0 with that schedule!

My Predictions for the Maroons: Aug 23 at Beechwood - Loss but the game is competitive and close. Aug 31 at Danville Win by running clock. Sep 6 vs. George Rogers Clark Win by running clock Sep 13 at Corbin Loss but game is close Sep 20 vs. Woodford County Loss (little bit of a brain fog from the game before) Sep 27 at South Laurel* Win (The players will want this win more) Oct 4 at Madison Central Win Oct 11 vs. North Laurel* Win Oct 18 vs. Harlan County* Win Oct 25 at Southwestern Win but very close game setting up a wild playoff matchup. (Signals a change in the tides of Pulaski Co) Finishing 7-3 for a promising start to the era of #BURNS BOYS!

I have talked directly to Tyler Ray he is not considering leaving BC for any jobs at this time.

I know Tyler Ray was mentioned earlier but Boyle also has two other assistants who might also consider this move. One is Jackson Arnett who has been a head coach before and may consider making that move again. The other is Nick Mills who I believe recently considered the Hazard job which would also mean that he might be ready make the move towards being a head coach. There are what seems to be a lot of semi local options for this position.

I wouldn't be shocked if he applied. He is a great coach and would do a tremendous job at Lincoln Co. If he does or has applied don't be surprised if he is the leading candidate.

Both Casey and Lincoln had such great football season given that they both took off during fall break. They combined for 9 wins last season and were both done with football by November 3rd exactly 4 weeks after their fall breaks/vacations. Surely they could have waited one more month to leave right? If you need to take a break during your season then you need to evaluate if you truly want to be a coach. Everyone wants to be a champion until it is time to do championship stuff. Champions don't take off during the season and a coach that sets that standard has no intention of being a champion.

I spoke with someone who attended the press conference. They said it was amazing to see how responsive the parents and players were to what coach Burns had to say. At his initial introduction, there were several who stood and applauded him. When he spoke directly to the parents and players the feeling in the room was one of excitement and readiness for the challenge that lies ahead. To quote this individual ''it felt like the beginning of something very special.'' Based on this information I would say that Coach Burns is off to a great start. Good luck in all that you do Coach!

I think he coaches the DB but I am not certain.

I saw a post of Travis pictured with current Boyle assistant Nick Mills and the picture was taken at the press conference.
