Tennessee athletic association HAS JUST NOW started dialogue with their State to get an exception that NFL & College teams have in the state that would allow them to begin on time as scheduled. Can’t believe they haven’t been in constant communication before now. Situation seems fluid in Tennessee. I don’t see how what they are doing affects Kentucky besides scheduling quirks, our COVID numbers are no where close to each other in terms of daily cases.

Hopkinsville, Christian County, Trigg County all begin workouts Monday. Hopefully everything continues to go smoothly as if it does it looks like we are tentatively on pace to begin the season on time!!

Confusion is the name of the game for the world right now.

Low touch are cleared for practices now I believe.

I should have said “considering.” My apologies.

A lot of schools are going to go to an “A/B” schedule. Students will be split in half and alternate days in school. Ex: Week 1 A- In school M,W,F B- In school Tu/Th The next week they will switch. When they are not in school they will be doing NTI work from home. It makes sense and is by far the best option in my opinion. If you have 1000 kids in your school, you only have 500 there at a time in school days.

As others stated, there really is no reason Kentucky HS FB can’t start with limited group work in June. Have your dead period Mr. Tackett, and then let’s get back with full team work July 11th.

Stop letting fear run your lives. It will all be ok...

That’s exactly what I was thinking. Face shield and you are well covered in the face part. I had thoughts of wondering if you could attach a cloth mask or silk mask On the lower part of the face mask to cover that part up as well. Something breathable but a layer of protection. To me Basketball and wrestling are going to be the toughest sports to social distance in. Indoors, no facial coverings or equipment...

Same here Tkinslow. Sharp indeed.

The scuttlebutt from this area is they had a 6’3 QB who went to middle school in Hopkinsville but moved to Florida the summer of his freshman year that moved back in December that they are awaiting eligibility on. Heard he was raw but had a cannon arm. Him plus the rising sophomore QB will battle it out for the starting job whenever things can start back is what I’ve heard. Who knows how accurate that is. Also heard some news about a potential QB relocating from the area to a 3A school in WKY... All rumors at this point. District 1 in class 4A is going to be a chore again for all teams it looks like. I also look for Christian County to be much improved this year with Trigg County taking a step back. I think Caldwell County will make a good run this year. They have their best incoming freshman class maybe ever from what people have says in Princeton.

Saw these on the helmet tournament that is going on Twitter. Corbin and Logan County had some nice looking lids too.

From my knowledge the schedule belongs to the HC of that sport unless you have a power hungry AD. The schedules should be the responsibility of each sports HC.

Consistent logic is few and far between right now it seems!

Distancing in school? Lol, that’s not going to happen regardless of rules you try to make/enforce. If school is in, sports will take place.

Or just have a travel list and only take 35-45 kids in two buses.

Confused as to why this would mean no fall sports? If you have 800 kids in your school, that would mean you would have 400 kids around each other every other day. Surely if they allow that then having 50 to 75 kids around each other outside at practice wouldn’t be an issue. Just my opinion.

Too many knee jerk reactions going around right now. Let everything play out and see. The rebound isn’t supposed to happen until December, maybe cut the season to a 7-8 game season and then start playoffs. We can’t keep cancelling and shutting down schools, businesses, and the like or this virus will be the least of our concerns.

Caldwell County should be solid once again as well. Scrimmage wise you can see 2 v 3 & 4 v 5 on your list this August when South Warren and McCracken scrimmage as well as BG and Hopkinsville.

I think Logan County could be higher, definitely see them switched with Madisonville. Taylor County in WKY now? Haha. Good list though. I think 2-6 could all be moved around.

Coach, it was a pleasure seeing your teams up close. Best of luck wherever you end up and congratulations on an amazing tenure at F-S.

Let’s hope not. Coach Preston is one heck of a football coach and one of the states best coaches hands down.
