What does this mean to Bylaw 6 or is it Bylaw 16? No transfers and no exceptions? I guess it makes life easier for KHSAA if they don't deal with so many exception requests.

Interesting. Does she just want JCPS to be their own league? Is this only football or all sports?

Not the good kind.

The word I heard was this:

No non district matchups on Varsity level. No playing on JV/Frosh level. In response to this, at least one public school is trying to get long contract terms with the privates before this takes effect.

we’ve all heard this before around the big city and only a few people know if this has actually been talked about by the new AD.

Are you saying they are getting rid of JV/ Frosh teams or just not allowed to play privates? And are they looking to basically make it JCPS only plays JCPS on the varsity level? 

When are they announcing it? Anyone remember when they announced last year?

Xavier Brown - University of Virginia
Isaac Dixon - Undecided
Cam Hergott - Eastern Kentucky University
Joe Humphreys- Miami (OH)
Dane Key - University of Kentucky
Jack Sivori - Undecided
Caden Veltkamp - Western Kentucky University


Isaac Dixon, who won the KFCA Mr. Football Award, has offers from University of Charleston and University of Pikeville, and he has a preferred-walk on offer from University of Kentucky.

To the best of my knowledge, Jack Sivori does not have any offers currently.

Thanks! What are the offers for Dixon and Sivori? I thought I saw Dixon had a PWO to UK so maybe he ends up a Cat! 

Where did they all sign to play in college? I have not kept up.

Great story! Did you share this with Cobb and Wallace!

Why not share with all coaches?

I've heard 3 names floated:

Stoner (Manual), Dawson (Male), Nino White (HC at Atherton)

I've not heard anything about interviews.

Did Dawson just move to Male this year from Trinity? 

Manual has biggest advantage of JCPS since can take any kid they want. 

It is a hard school to get in, since it is the #1 public in KY. Not everyone can get accepted. Male has advantage with 3 feeder MS programs. Both schools have talented kids that go D1. 

Are they testing all players, regardless of vaccination?

I’ve often wondered what the objective is for JV games. Is it to win the game or is it simply to get younger players valuable game experience?  Some schools play a lot of juniors on the JV so obviously they want to win the game. Other schools have “Froshmore” teams who want to get their younger players as many reps before they get to the varsity level. I suppose there isn’t a right answer; it’s the varsity HC’s personal preference on what he is trying to accomplish. 

Alot of the Froshmore teams seem to be driven by the numbers game. For schools that don't have enough kids to have a "true" freshman team. Many JCPS schools are like that now and it is a great way to get younger kids in the game.

Thanks for info. That can be big difference if starters out.

Yes, I am sure KCD is good, but I believe they had more players this game as 1A then Eastern did as 6A. 

Eastern was not playing a full team last week against KCD due to Covid quarantines. Maybe they would have lost anyway, but when 1/2 the team is in quarantine, I don't know it is the best performance. Nobody seems to be mentioning this when evaluating the score against KCD.

The article also states Smith is staying on staff. I wonder if those kids can go back to their schools and play this year? I hope it works out for the kids.

Has anyone heard if the KHSAA is setting rules regarding spectators, roster sizes, etc? I know some schools are requiring masks for kids for inside.

I talked to a DeSales coach and he said total numbers in whole program have dropped to 47. He said couple of years ago had 105. Said not many frosh coming out for football. I'm thinking after not playing a year because of covid some kids have decided to hang it up.

Do we know how many Trinity has for freshman? I think last year, they were around 60. I would think JCPS is hurt too, except for Male.

On hudl have 54 so if that is final number, it's very low since usually have around 80. Could be dwindling football numbers that has finally caught up to St.X or maybe an anomaly because of Covid year.

Heard they have over 70 kids on freshman. Covid definitely had an impact with most Jefferson County middle schools not playing last year.

They are trying to feast on big school bottom feeders.

I am surprised they don't play CAL or Sayre. It would be good competition but not a far drive.
