Mustang

I am happy for Sam as are the members of the Brossart Basketball Program who had the privilege of having Coach Elsbernd on our staff during his "transitional" year.  I too, know how bad that he wanted this job and I know that he will do his best to make it work.  Best of luck moving forward to Coach Sam and the Holmes Bulldogs. 

Giving credit where due, Greene must have been pretty good tonight.   Now we need some consistency from him.  I am  not a fan, but if he wants to show me up that would be OK too.

I will speculate that pictures may begin showing up on Facebook of Puck, Ivan Rice, and Coach Brooks together, attired in Paris orange, traveling together to some sport venue, and maybe stopping for a plate of wings on the way home.

Same old, same old with Diaz.  Four pitch walks, walks issued to two pf the first three to face him, and then a hit batter.  He was lucky to dig himself, or someone else dig him out of these situations over and over again last y3ear.  Not a fan. 

My man Hunter Greene is being exposed - again.  100 pitches in 5 innings and did not start Opening Day which says they didn't want him to get shelled right out of the gate  They will let him get knocked around for a few games and then he will end up on some disabled list  and use the injury card the rest of the way out.  Blown First Round draft choice.

My first call would be to Tim Sullivan.  At this point, I don't think he walks away from Cooper, but he is a Holmes alum a proven winner and a great coach.  He at least deserves the CHHS administration's attention.

So what you are saying is "The right of first refusal."

There was a time when "Transy Camp" was the only major, recognized team and individual camp in Kentucky.  Any player worth his salt attended "Transy Camp."

I suspect that Coach Lane made more money by running that camp for all of those years than he ever did coaching at Transy.

Really sorry to see this.  Cheeseman brought stability, success, and personality to a success-starved program.

Knew him from his years in the early 2000's at Lawrence Co.

Coach Steiner has been the head coach at SK since 2003-04.  He has taken the Pioneers to four regional championship games.

Feeling bad for Trent Steiner tonight.  Many years of effort.  Would have liked to see him get this one.

Here. Come. The. Cardinals. 

Cards had cut it to five.  Camels respond and push it back to 55-45 with 8 minutes to go.

This year's Brossart team has been plagued by our past success.  We play the NKAC DivIi schedule which we have not been able to be competitive.  We did not get back some of the football players we were expecting, and in the final weeks of the season, lost Ben Doyle, our floor general, to an ankle injury.  

Looking at the three teams that we did beat Villa, Calvary, and Bracken, they are playing lesser schedules and all have double-digit wins.  With no seniors, hopefully this season will provide the experience needed to set up a "rebound season" in 24-25.  

We played NCC to 35-33 at halftime, and then promptly tied the score at 35-35 to start the second half.  Things went downhill from there as NCC went on a 21-0 run and that was that.

This was only the second time that Villa and Holmes have played.

The previous time was in December of 2009, when the Bulldogs prevailed 59-36.  Looks like the Villa AD bided his time and picked the proper spot to get revenge.

I was somewhat expecting to see a post of this ilk when Bracken County defeated Holmes by nearly 30 points recently.

I remember when Holmes dropped down from NKAC Division I to Division II.  Everyone raised eyebrows at that time.  Holmes seemed to be a powerhouse at that time, but the Holmes administration must have seen this decent coming.  It has taken quite a while to come to this stage, but during their stint in Division Ii, I don't ever remember them being a dominant force.   I could be wrong. 

I've probably seen him work in all 50 of them.'

Pretty sure he gave me my first T.  

Congrats! Charlie.

Get me the ball so Taylor can have some screen time!

Bad look for Kelse and Andy Reid.    Obviously, all about Kelse's star-power.

Go pull that with Bill Belichick.  He wouldn't pull it with Belichick.

Another example of lunatics running the asylum.

Is this an 84 or 94 foot floor???

I'm assuming 94'.

Have they begun interviews or gotten the ball rolling yet? Surely Mustang must have a say in the new coach right?

My affiliation with the football program is as the Internet Radio Broadcaster.  With that said I am a big fan, am a friend of Paul Wiggins, and have been privy to travel with the team on out-of-towners etc.,, but I have no official function with the football program, like I do with the basketball program.

I have been laid up since December 11th recovering from a knee injury, and haven't been in the building much during that time.  I have no inside information, and certainly no influence on who the next coach will be.

I've got a real problem that I am being held hostage to pony up additional money to watch Patrick Mahomes play Saturday night.

I pay Alta-Fiber nearly $150 (TV/Internet) a month to assure that I receive network TV and will be provided major sporting events. 

We should have seen this coming when Thursday night Football became Pay Per View.

I am 76 years old and am going to forced to pay up, or refrain from watching the game altogether, as a matter of principle.  If I were in my 20s or 30s this would really concern me that my future TV will become a series of "The Super Bowl Streaming Exclusively on ROKU" or "The Kentucky Derby Streaming Exclusively on You Tube".  Where will it end???  It won't.  So long as we suckers pony up the cash, these people will continue to squeeze the last dime out of us.

I consider watching NFL Football on network TV an American birthright, and even moreso since I pay Alta-Fiber to represent me for my subscription fee to provide these games.  Who is out there representing us in these matters and allowing this to happen???

 Remember some of our early conversations Mustang? They have come true lol!!!

I use your old quote quite often, that you issued one night during a broadcast as Bellevue was beating up on us.

You commented that "These coaches know that its only a matter of time until Brossart football joins our other sports at being championship caliber."

We have certainly made our mark in Class 1A since then.

I'll admit that when calling the game I expected us to win.

However, a 17-3 Lady Jackets advantage in the third quarter led to the Lady 'Stangs demise.

Very strong showing from Freshman Maggie Simons (27) and Tessa Humphries (14) paved the way to the win.  Rachel Shewmaker led the Brossart girls with 10 points.  She was named to the All-Tournament Team.  Zoey Woosley was All-Academic.

Congratulations and best of luck to Coach Greg Letcher and the Lady Jackets moving on.

This is the first time since 2015 that a Brossart team will not be represented in the All "A" State Tournament.

Due to my recovering from a knee injury at home, I haven't been in the loop as much as normal, BUT I sincerely doubt that the entire staff has been let go.

Our normal off-season workouts are continuing as per usual.

Beautiful.

Responding to the Guru's request for a comment from me.  The first I heard of it was when I opened my email this morning and saw the Press Release  I have been out of the building since December 11th and had heard no rumor to the possibility that Paul would not be back.

Coach Wiggins is passionate about Brossart football.  He has given us 10 years of quality Class 1A football, and had he not accepted the challenge of taking over the program when it was facing extinction, the Football complex we know as the MAC would probably still be a hayfield. 

I'm sure the reasoning behind not renewing Paul's contract will come to light.  I too would hope that if indeed the move was made in order for the program to take a giant step forward, that the new coach has already committed, and that he will be capable of drawing  quality players into our our program, and have a proven record of taking teams to the next level.

And the winner is:

Jase Iles

Another good showing by the Panthers against a hot Boone County team while on the road.
