I don't know their ages but McKee at Scott County and Chirico at Paintsville have done some amazing things.

He will be a sophomore next year. He was a QB all through elementary and middle school. He was Kash's backup last year.

I think it will be #23 Chris Allen.

Fine young man from a great family!!!

"IF" If, ifs ands & buts were candy and nuts. We would all have a merry Christmas.

Kash's father didn't think it was in his best interest to play on a losing team with 18 players on the squad. It was before Chirico was hired.

When Kash came back from Pikeville, Coach Chirico and Kinner were not going to let Kash back on the team. The seniors convinced the coaches to let the players decide who would be let on the team. The players voted to let Kash back on the team but the coaches said he would have to earn his spot on the starting rotation.

I played high school ball with Daric's father Darrell. He was a bruising fullback at Paintsville when he played.

I tried to tell you guys these E Kentucky 1A teams were good.

Congratulations Kash Daniels!!!

I would say Kash wanted to play. The timing of the decision and whomever made it is what the problem that people have. I think if Kash felt like he could have played on Friday it would have taken more than two people to keep him from playing. Early in the week I bet he thought he would heal up by Friday as he had all year long. It just didn't happen for him. The young man is a warrior. He played with a broken throwing hand all season. I hate it for him. Just like everyone else in the cruel world I think he may have learned several life lessons. In the end that's all we have.

I love how a few Johnson Central people are already jumping on a bandwagon to put down Paintsville Independent Schools because of the actions of a few. It just shows how petty some of you are. I'm cheering for Johnson Central to win the 4A championship. The question is would you have been cheering for the Paintsville Tigers if they had made it? I think it would be awesome if both schools could continue to be relevant in all sports and academic endeavors. Kash and his family have made the decision to do what was best for him. I'm fine with that but with all decisions that effects others not everyone is going to be happy. The other players on the team including my son felt let down that Kash didn't play because he told them all week he would play Friday. I told my son that was no reason to be mad at Kash and it isn't.

That picture was taken a couple a days after the game.

I have contacts with the UK coaching staff. No one from UK was at the game and did not influence anyone playing. Last contact from Stoops was after the Paris game. They were too busy with their own game. I've talked to the Paintsville coaching staff and the ones I talked to said nothing about UK reps being at the game. The doctor who advised Kash's father once worked for UK as an orthopedic surgeon.

It really doesn't matter now. It is water under the bridge. The decision was made and now the aftermath of that decision will take its coarse. Terrible way to end a fine career. The action of not playing in that game may cost him the Mr. Football title.

Five hours to go and I'm getting ready to head over!! Go Tigers!!!

9 and 1/2 hours till Kick off and I'm Giddy as a schoolgirl!!! Go Tigers!!!

I've always been a Marshall fan!!! Go Herd!!! Why didn't WKU move the Championships to the next weekend? Giving all teams an extra week off would help attendance and let the players rest a week.

Go Golden Eagles!!

Go Herd!!!

One of the finest young men I have ever known! Who just happens to play football!!

All arguments aside I want to wish everyone a very safe and Happy Thanksgiving! Hope to see you all at Memorial Field Friday at 7:30 pm for the clash of the mountains! Go Tigers!!!

I keep hearing the same old song and dance from the boys down US 23. New and improved. Players are now 100% who were hurt in the first game. Strapem' up and let's get it on! Tigers still find a way to win against all opponents. Be it one point or thirty. Tigers will find a way to win Friday! By at least one point!

By going to a neutral site you take away the motivation of winning your district.
