My understanding as well.  Conner admin chose to pass on Sullivan.

Now, if that's true, I'd really love to dig deep and get an in-depth look at that decision process. How in the world do you EVER pass on a coach like Tim Sullivan?

I keep hearing Tom Haney and Junior as candidates in several of these openings. Can anyone verify?

What's gotten old is people defending this behavior by saying athletes are too "soft", not tough enough, and/or spoiled, as well as the belief that this is what it takes to be a "champion".

1000% agree

Or does it mean that it's ok for coaches to be abusive towards players in the interest of "toughening them up"? 

Way Way Way too much of this all over - especially in NKY high school and youth circles. It's ridiculous. The constant non-stop auto-defense of coaches accused of this stuff has gotten so old. For many people - including shockingly on this forum - there must be no coaches that ever cross the line. 

Who are favorites to win this year from across the state?

Snippets? Over the last 10 games we almost saw the whole show. He was not very good in November and December. Don't know whether it was more attitude based or a sudden decline in skills, although the real answer is probably somewhere in between. And likely both scenarios were evident enough which is why the Bills dumped him despite the big cap hit AND not having a real replacement.

You're missing the most glaring reason why he struggled at the end of the season. The OC switch from Ken Dorsey to Joe Brady. With Brady calling the shots, Diggs had only 315 yards receiving in the last 7 games, but the Bills went 6-1. Then, when given a shot to shine in the playoffs, he failed miserably, dropping a ball he should have caught in the 4th quarter against the Chiefs.

Aside from that, he'll be 31 by the end of the 24 NFL season and by trading him before 6/1 they'll get an additional 27.3M in cap space for 25. Also, the WR class in this year's draft is stacked. They're going to get a good replacement in R1 or R2 for sure. 

I'm not sure why this is that much of a shock to anyone that he was traded..

Buffalo getting out BEFORE the decline which we saw snippets of at the end of last season. 

From 2A District 6 Coach of the Year to this?!!??

Why oh why has it come to this?

Ruthsatz gone? Are there plumes of blue smoke billowing over Barone's and Cassidy's in Park Hills?

Tough break for the Colonels, a good team that dealt North Oldham and Wofo their only losses within the 8th Region. Someone of consequence in the 8th wasn't going to make it out of this district.

On an individual note, this wraps up the career of Max Green, the state's leading scorer and an all-around dynamic player. He went out on his shield with 27 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, and 3 steals.

What a career! Will he be playing anywhere at the next level?

Final.

Beechwood (15-14) - Sullivan 23, Blackburn 11, Way 10, Fryman 10, McCormack 9, Navin 4, Brockett 4, Stiles 2. THREES - McCormack 3, Way 2, Blackburn, Sullivan. 

Highlands (16-14) - Vinson 16, Shick 14, Moeves 12, Kirst 7, Rickard 6, Listerman 5, Bouldin 3, Hicks 3. THREES - Moeves 3, Shick 2, Hicks, Kirst

Blue and white plumes sighted throughout Latonia...unsure what that means, but it's definitely pluming.

Are they printing the face of the new coach on the donuts?

I, too, suspected that possibility. Community engagement at its finest. 

Any names emerging surrounding this opening? Very quiet in Latonia. Reports of activity around Moonrise Donuts this morning however. Could mean something?! No plumes yet though. 

It's not often I'm shocked by anything these days...but, goodness gracious, the fact that so many adults turned a blind eye to this is astonishing. Can you imagine what has gone on there that HASN"T been reported?

So disgusting. 

Anything new on this opening? 

The suspense is palpable.....has any seen plumes of smoke or anyone riding a steed down 27 with a scroll?
