I’ve heard the same thing, I would say with their talent and how they play it caters to them more forsure. But Newport will undoubtedly be the favorite and most talented going into the season, it’s on CCH and Cooper to knock them off.

What’s the reason you’d want your kids to go though? Like what’s really grabbing people? I think all most parents want is the best opportunity for their kids.

Not super familiar with the 10th, I know GRC loses a ton. But I will give other players their nod he’s yet to step on a high school court, I should have went more along the lines of best talent/ high end player in the future.

Dang did not even think of that, great call here!

Tyce Simpson who was gonna go to Frederick Douglass and is now a 6’5 freshman with 2 D1 offers, has now transferred into Montgomery County. Will be the best player in the region off rip, older brother was just a huge part in Douglass’ run this year. And older sister was Lafayette leading scorer who is also coming to Montgomery County! Kid is athletic and skilled, can shoot it and play above the rim. Will be fun to watch !

But I’ve been to most fields in the area, it’ll be the best looking field hands down.

Drive by the field daily, and I was initially on board with everyone and didn’t know how I felt about it. As it is a major change, but like mentioned above that thing really pops in person. Pictures don’t even do it justice, the red against that scenery of green and just location really does fit it perfect. Only thing I’d be worried about is changing a few things up on stands and concession so there isn’t so much red.

I personally don’t think the issue was age at all. It’s how the whole process played out, I’ve had family inside the school for 40 plus years. They didn’t even have to open this up to the public or show this drawn out process. They knew they were hiring their friend. Who knows he may have been the most qualified, he may not but he was getting it regardless. His wife is maybe 2nd or 3rd down from the superintendent, have been close for SEVERAL years. This was always the play, now for the kids sake you hope things go well. The opportunity is there for the taking no doubt. And everybody that talks about his experience, he only coaches what 4-5 years at the varsity level? And 4 of those were very unsuccessful years at Bellevue. They made the easiest choice and it’s TBD if it was the best choice.

It is officially Woody McMillen. Congrats on landing the job, I’ve been hard on the school about this hire. I can only hope he proves me wrong!

I’d be shocked if it wasn’t Woody, I hope the district understands really what they are doing here. Would be such a shame to squander a great opportunity to rise up the ranks, we really need somebody in there that can take care of the kids and the program. Somebody that makes kids feel intrigued and interested in football. Somebody that has football knowledge and not just our buddy who’s been around. At the end of the day I’ve been in the halls and around the school forever, becoming great at athletics just isn’t something that has even been an agenda. They will take the guy that they know will do it their way rather than the guy that is the best football coach.

Kid is an absolute stud, would be able to play at most of the larger schools. Has the body and physical maturity to go along with his athleticism, fun player to watch. Felt like he should have had more carries last year.

Actually been around the town/school forever, including Woody. And around the guys age so I’ve seen many interactions first hand throughout the years. I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s the route they go if numbers don’t fall off exactly like they did at Bellevue.

McMillen was at the helm when the Bellevue program really went to shambles. Participation dropped off considerably, and I would expect the same at Ludlow if he got the job. Most kids down there don’t respect the guy at all.

Exactly, the kids and town deserve a football mind. Not somebody that we hire just because they will do things how the administration wants and it’s the easiest thing to do.

For the kids sake I hope not, I’ve seen it first hand. They aren’t very receptive to the guy, and his football knowledge has been brought into question at other stops from what I recall. They need to get the best guy regardless of where he comes from. Not just somebody within because that’s the easy thing to do and he is our buddy.

Wasn’t the hefty lefty drafted? I’m a little younger so don’t know when or what year but I know he played in the league. RIP to his soul!

I read on twitter he has a visit setup to St.Johns.

Yeah I thought it was just a given that football is head and shoulders above over here. Recruiting, on field play, talent, coaching doesn’t really matter what you wanna look at it’s better. If I had aspirations for my kid to be the best he could be and make it as far as he can. I would 10000% think about playing in Ohio rather than Kentucky. No other way to slice it.

I think UK being on will deter some fans tonight forsure.

Didn’t realize Hunt from HC was back, they could be real trouble next year.

Ohio is a football state. It’s eat, sleep, breathe football over here, and the trickle down affects are real. Football is tougher over the water, kids are better and coaches are better. That means naturally kids will get recruited more, I don’t blame any parent or kid for wanting that.

Probably some truth to it, I know OSU when they come to Cincy recruit the heck out of Taft. And In general have been hitting Cincy hard last couple years. I think it’s a no brainer a kid would benefit from playing over there. Same reason Queen just left CCH.

Not that I’ve heard, this is the first I’ve heard of that.

Exactly I’d like to hear if the inverse has been granted before, and if so how often does it happen. But CCH basketball with McGillis, Cash and Ruthsatz all as freshmen! Wow!

It is indeed. Confirmed to me today he starts on Monday at CCH.
