Thor of Asgard

You are spot on. Couldn't have said it better. The guy had an opinion and mixed it with some humor. Boone County has been non-existent in football for years. It's just the same old whiners on BGP making an issue of it.

The generation of "my feelings are hurt" strikes again. lol. He was saying in a way that Boone County is bad in football. It's the truth. You don't like the truth? Go out and win football games. If football is too tough, go play soccer.

You mad, bro?

Scott fielded a volleyball team with two girls standing 6' 5'' several years ago, both went on to play basketball and volleyball in college, and they still couldn't beat Notre Dame when they played. Notre Dame's tallest players were about 6' 2 '' but Scott wasn't even in the game. Scott does field a competitive volleyball program and I credit them for that, but please don't even mention them in the same sentence or thread with the Louisville schools. It doesn't work.

You referring to Bill "Mr. Football, NKU Style" Erpenbeck? I remember he led the charge for NKU's football program and was all set to hire Mike Yeagle as head coach for the Norse.

You are right on. Scott a non-factor in the state. The match against Mercy was comical and an example of a team with no idea of how to simply receive a serve. The Mercy coaches were laughing about Scott's inability to pass a jump serve, but that goes to show what I said. To their credit, Scott does attempt to field a good volleyball program, unlike the mountain schools and those in the western part of the state. But Scott isn't a factor in the state tournament.

Just read all of what you wrote. It's a contradiction in itself. You state there are indeed problems with parents, administration, etc, with coaching at NDA. You then act like it's not OK, then turn around and try to spin "but with an experienced coach like Buck" who is, by the way, also having his problems with the parents. Lots of them.

Good preview. The only part I disagree with is having Central ranked so highly. They lost too much to even be in the ballpark of the top 10 in 3A. This will probably be a losing season for Central.

You obviously have missed a lot! lol. They just ran off the girls basketball coach for no reason other than their little agendas. Don't be surprised if NDA is looking for a new volleyball coach at the end of the upcoming season. This will be three straight years without a state title for the coach, unacceptable by NDA parental standards.

Since you contradicted yourself numerous times, I will not argue. I think we all can agree the parents ran off a good coach (Lanham), and the NDA administration looked the other way and hoped it would go away. High school sports, 21st century style.

Incidents like this are the end of good coaches. The school attempts to cover it up, the local press is nonexistent to anything the least bit controversial, and few know the real story. The sports at NDA are ruled by the mob mentality, adults who never really grew up and throw tantrums when a coach makes a tough decision for the better of the program. I'm a Holmes graduate without a dog in this fight other than some friends who have kids at NDA, but it's sad to see coaches run off because of a group of parents.

I figured as much. Anyone close to the NDA scene knows the parents and outside influences (club teams) are in control of the coaches. I was not saying Lanham was like a hall of fame coach, but she deserved a better fate than the administration/parents/outside influences caused in her departure. I don't blame Lanham for leaving at all. But I do not like the way these supposed adults can bully a coach in any sport, depending on the school, into leaving even when the coach is doing a good job.

I knew they are no longer in the same class. I did not realize the series had been canceled. It's probably best for my Bulldogs they don't play. I am thinking Holmes hasn't beaten CovCath in football since the early 1990s when James Hayes was the Bulldogs running back and McCarthy was the head coach. I knew Holmes is now 4A and Highlands is 5A, had no idea they had stopped the series.

Ooops. I think you are correct. I did not realize they did not play last year. I take it back: Holmes will definitely not lose to CovCath this season! But what a shame the series is over!

I never, ever, ever thought I would live to see Dayton have more football players on the roster than my Holmes Bulldogs. Good for Dayton. Glad to see kids are coming out for football.
