I agree CWB, Commissioner Tackett is doing an excellent job.  

He is doing a good job but is loosing the focus of the BOE.  Too long winded.

Someone called KDE and the lady there said they are being swamped with phone calls and emails. People making their voice heard.

I sent an email to every Board member.

Fleming Co had a positive case and they isolated the person, did some testing and continued on.  No mass quarantine.  So it can be done if you have proper protocols in place before hand.

Exactly how we are doing it at work and have managed to keep 6,000 people employed and will likely have the best financial year in the Company’s history. A lot of bonus’ for people that need and deserve them. Take that COVID and the naysayers against allowing people to make a living OR play sports.

Yet somehow states like Indiana, Ohio and Tennessee are pulling it off, but Kentucky can't.

My dad lives in Tennessee and said Saturday morning was like normal with the news carrying all the Friday night high school games. He said it was wonderful, normalcy. 

The outcry from citizens to let fall HIGHSCHOOL sports happen is amazing. Any decision to shut them down is a dictatorship at this point. I went to a great AAU tournament in Ohio this weekend with masks everywhere. My son hasn’t looked this energized and happy in months.

The University of Notre Dame suspended in-person classes on Tuesday, eight days after the school’s fall semester began and after 146 students and a staff member tested positive for the coronavirus, officials said.

Could this effect the KHSAA decision makers?

In my opinion it shouldn’t. Probably turns out the fact we are not having live classes at the start of football helps the sport get going.  College football was in pretty good shape until all the kids came back on campus.

Taking the survey was Clay Clevenger's idea (Danville HS head coach). Coach Marc Clark of McCracken County built the survey and put together the results.

 

 

This should be a game changer when the Board of Control  meets Thursday. Unless...you just don’t care about facts. 

Listened to David Buchanan, President of Coaches Association, on WPBK this morning and he is bullish on having the season. Indicated pushing back the start of in person classes actually helps having football. His interview was spot on in my opinion. 

I would absolutely play with fans at 30%-50% with masks. I don’t agree with pushing the start of live school back, but if anything that helps football. Big difference with a group of 50+ boys outside working out vs 100’s of kids socially interacting indoors. 
 

Big fan of John. Congratulations!

It seems without paying fans the athletic departments will be in a similar financial issue whether they have the season or not. No tv revenue like college. Although the KHSAA will benefit from the championship games if fans allowed in larger venue. Obviously kids greatly benefit by getting back on the field again and not loosing one of only four years to play.

Clayton Davis Lincoln County ad good as any you will find both sides of ball. Great receiver hopefully he won’t hav to leave his natural position and play quarterback next year. Best athlete on the team.

Probably one of the most “under the radar” Sophomores in the state. #7 receiver in Class 4A and All-State Honorable Mention.

Big loss to the program and to the school. Must be more to this.

Based on the brackets I would guess the winner of LINCOLN/Pulaski will play Somerset in championship.

Lincoln County is the District Champions.

How about listing any upsets in the District Tournaments in this thread?

Final from Lincoln.

Final from Lincoln County.

Lincoln County comes to mind. Travis Leffew genuinely cares for the kids and the program and has a good football IQ to boot. Not sure they get the support they deserve though. Seems like basketball is the main focus there.

This is from a few years ago but nail meet hammer. You hit it right on the head. It is very clear in Lincoln County if you are multi sport athlete playing basketball you won’t see court ahead of kids solely dedicated to basketball. No telling how good football could be if you could get some of the basketball players to play football. They will tell you, though, they know they won’t get the same opportunity on the court if they play football. Hard to build a program and keep a coach in this scenario.

Final from Garrard.

Please edit the score in title. It was 65-31.

Final from Southwestern.

Final from Boyle.

Baylor Mattingly with 8 threes for Lincoln. 5 in first quarter.

Final from LCA.

What is going on with these slow starts? Lincoln was blowing teams out of the gym at the start of the season by starting off fast. I think everyone played the first three games of the year.
