Desmond Ridder was not nominated by the coaching staff at St. X. Which could be for a variety of reasons, including his committed school asking him not to. I had a long snapper that was going to UofL who was told he couldn't participate.

Well obviously my talent evaluation skills probably shouldn't be called into question considering I've been watching the best DB in KY (playing at 70% mind you) playing against primarily running teams, and haven't had access to the "medicals" or the all-22 film. My bad. You have a dog in the fight - I don't. No need to get snippy. I too was thinking more offensively than defensively, but still...

I led my statement with "no offense". That should excuse any of the negative comment correct? :idunno: My apologies for being defensive of my players, didn't mean to offend you.

That's pretty bold talk. I can think of a couple that I would have a hard time putting him in front of and they played against much better teams.

He has played against the best and locked them down as a freshman, without any weight training. He has gone against all the top WRs in camps around the country. He still comes out on top. So not sure what else you would like the kid to prove for you. So let me rephrase. According to top college head coaches in this country, he is one of the top DBs to ever come out of Kentucky.

No offense to this young man - and I hope he takes advantage of the offers given to him - but after watching about 3 games of his I'm thinking these offers are more for track than football.

No offense to you, however you clearly are not in the business of evaluating talent. This young man is one of the best if not the best defensive backs to ever play in Kentucky.

He did not play the majority of the season due to a high ankle sprain that he suffered on the opening kickoff of the season. He played as much as he could, but was never over 70% and still did not allow a completion all year.

He picked offer from University of Florida this morning.

Jairus picked up his 19 D1 offer today while visiting the University of Alabama and Nick Saban. Proud of all that this young man has overcame. He still has a long way to go, but is growing each day.

Jairus just picked up an offer from Mississippi State today. It looks like UCLA and Notre Dame will be offering shortly. Jairus is a great young man that has grown up so much off of the field and is going to be playing football for a long time. One of the best the State has ever seen! -of course I am biased!

Proud to say I was on that team with Coach Buchanan, part of his first 4 years at Mason Co. I have stolen TONS of what I do from Coach Buchanan, especially the WIN drill, we did it today, because we aren't allowed to practice on Labor Day.

The final four was Waggener vs Somerset and Rockcastle County vs Allen County Scottsville. Waggener and Rockcastle in the finals. Waggener won!

Green County had a very good team as well. We played them in the 2nd round and we were both 4 and 0. We only beat them by 5, which was our closest game. It was a great experience for our young team, learing how to compete the right way, as a team.

Thank you Lindsey Wilson for a great event!

Actually I apologize it was a 4.30 and 4.31.

Junior to be Jairus Brents ran a 4.33 at Ohio State University today. He also had a 39 inch vertical. They lined them up at the end and he won fastest of his class, and then won fastest of the camp.

I am so proud of how far this young man has came and continues to push for!

Tahj Rice was also present and performed very well. He was placed in the Final 4, for being top defensive lineman at the camp.

The coaching staff was highly impressed with both young men. It is great to watch two men give it their all in the off season and go out and perform so well at the highest level!

Tahj now has offers from Indiana, Louisville, and Duke. He is visiting Tennessee and Alabama this month. Fantastic young man who is dedicated to the game and his future!

I was on the 97 team that beat Russell, however I took a few beat downs from them as well! There is no better coach then Coach Buchanan, he was always nostalgic and aggressive at the same time. Thankful to have learned so many great things from him as a young out of control teenager!

First of many offers for Tahj Rice, sophomore DE for Waggener HS. Tahj is a great young man who works as hard as any player I have ever had.

I was honored to coach Colin in the East West All Star game this year. He is a great kid with a high football IQ. He will be a great addition to the program at Georgetown! Best of luck Colin!

Waggener HS

Mason County has long produced many quality athletes of all sports and of all types. The individuals complaining on this message board are from a county that cannot compete with Mason County in most areas, so trashing the athletes, coaches, and parents seems to make it better for them.

Best of luck in the tournament to the remaining members of the team!

Former duPont Manual HS offensive coordinator lands his first head coaching job at Jeffersontown High School. I coached along side Coach Rigdon for 11 years. Great hire for Jeffersontown.

Proud to share that sophomore DB Jairus Brents has been named a Max Preps All American. Tremendous honor for Jairus, Waggener, and the state of Kentucky.

Coach Lucas would be an absolute homerun at Dunbar. He is a dynamic players coach that goes all out for his players. I will never be able to repay Coach for all that he has taught me. As you can tell I am quite partial, however know a great coach when I see one.

Tough day for the Crimson family, I was lucky to coach Jalen for 3 years. Jalen truly was a great kid and absolutely never saw this coming. Prayers to his mom and dad, Jalen was their pride and joy. Hold your young ones extra tight tonight.

I have had teams that do both styles, I think the advantage of platooning comes with practice time, 2 hours of defense a day or 1 hour.

Unbelievable game to watch. Fort Wayne Snider has a grown man reciever #8.

I am heading there tomorrow to watch a good friend of mine coach for New Palestine vs Fort Wayne. This will be my first experience.

Well I will throw in my analysis as the losing head coach.

First, I am super proud of our young men for their turnaround this year and buying into a program.

Second, it was an emotional game for our us, our senior captain and starting tailback spent the night in the hospital with 2nd degree burns on his right hand and forearm.

Third, Boyle was just a better team then us on this night. Coach Hester and the defensive staff did an excellent job neutralizing our team speed by playing off in their quarters coverage. They forced us to put together long drives and our mistakes offensively stalled us out several times.

Hats off to Boyle County! Great team and great place to play. Wish we could have made the 4th quarter more exciting for everyone!
