The Oracle

Guess I wasn't first with the news. Logged on to post the hire. Apparently all of the Eviston to Brossart smoke was a product of EE being brought in onto Brossart's hiring committee.

The Pandas are looking for a new principal next year, yes?

The guy on the broadcast clearly disagrees with you.

This My Town TV guy made a point to say that he calls a fair game and isn't a homer but has spent a whole lot of time going on and on about fouls that should have been called on CCH. And from the sound of the broadcast the Tomcats haven't done a single thing foul worthy. LOL

So am I understanding correctly that now the basketball and football programs are both handing their own off season and conditioning programs instead of using CCH's in house strength and conditioning coach? If so then that leaves what, soccer, baseball and wrestling conditioning in the hands of Atallah? If EE just made the move to take back his off season program, then that doesn't sound like a guy who's planning to jump to a new job at Brossart.

With another talented QB in the halls, oh boy, things just got very interesting in Park Hills.

Who knows, but I'd be surprised to see EE head to Brossart. Not positive about whether or not Brossart offers free tuition to teachers' kids, but some diocesan schools only offer reduced tuition in that circumstance. Besides, EE is about the highest paid person in the building at 1600 Dixie Highway. And that's with him teaching like one class period per day and monitoring the lunchroom. The rest of his day is spent exclusively as a football coach. Tuition is $8K at Brossart. Can they put together an attractive enough package for EE to make him give up his light duty in the school building plus his great pay at CCH to make him want to make the move? I'm gonna guess the answer is no.

The Catholic church allows for people to get annulments in the divorce process and then to get remarried and still keep everything copacetic. I'd think Wiggins would have that opportunity. I don't know if he's Catholic or not, but if he is he'd still be in the church's good graces with an annulment. There's a non-teaching assistant basketball coach in the diocese who married his 3rd wife within the last year or two. And I can think of several other diocesan teachers who are divorced without it being any issue for their employment, so I find it hard to believe that it's suddenly an issue for Wiggins. If that's the reason he's been given it would certainly seem like the double standard is lawsuit-worthy. Not sure if Wiggins would care enough to actually sue over it, but it seems like he'd have a pretty great case for himself if that was actually the reasoning he was given.

I'll assume Boyle doesn't run a QB draw here.

That play call was utterly shocking.

QB sneaks aren't very sneaky when you run them that often.

Pitzer has an intended receiver chosen before the ball is snapped. If that receiver isn't open he's either sitting in the pocket with the ball until he's sacked or he's tucking the ball for a yard or 2 if lucky.

When EE faces adversity his play calling heads way south. I can't wait to see how many QB draws and screen passes he has drawn up for the second half.

Agree. IMO, Beechwood's pass game > Paducah's pass game. Beechwood's receivers are just as fast as Paducah's and they have a slightly better QB. CCH got past Beechwood, and they're capable of getting past Paducah. Anyone who says PT beats CCH handily hasn't watched CCH play before or is wearing some awfully tinted glasses.

JC's running game enables them to control the clock as long as they have the ball. CCH has close games when the other team's O is effective controlling the clock. JC is obviously a good team so I expect this one to be closer than some might think.
