How did everyone in NKY fair? Here is what I found in my research: Campbell Co won both of their games: Francis Parker, won 8-0 Barren Co, won 4-0 Cooper won all 3: Paducah T, won 2-1 Montgomery Co, won 3-0 Meade Co, won 3-0 Highlands won 2, tied 1: University Heights Academy, tied 0-0 Louisville Model, won 7-3 North Hardin, won 5-1 Villa Madonna won all 3: Carroll Co, won 4-0 Boyd Co, won 2-0 Barren Co, won 1-0

I can already smell the grass. Can't wait for this season to get started!

Wondering who’s stretching their legs in Lex for the Bluegrass games??? July 19-21st I agree @kyag, can’t wait for the season to get ramped up.

I haven’t seen it yet. I think I heard Boone County HS is the host school…. Could be wrong but that’s what I think I heard.

Coach Barth has stepped down to take his skills to Ludlow to work under Coach Woody McMillen. Job well done Coach!!! Whose next for WV???

Agreed, plus the X-factor in the incoming class is WAY better defensively coming in. I like it….

So now you are Nostradamus, got it! Go Big Blue! By the way I’m ecstatic with the hire, and you can’t change my mind…. Let him coach!

I guess Coaching success is only going to happen when you have prior Coaching success, says TheDeuce. Take a peak at what Coach K looked like when Duke hired him in 1980. I’m done with the “what did Pope do prior to being hired”. Let’s move on, and let the proof be in the future not forecasted by the past. Go Big Blue!!

Time will tell....What I can tell you is there is a new found energy level that I haven't felt in 10 years around the program. But like everything in Sports, you have to win..... I think Pope knows that more than anyone that would have walked in to the door being the Head Coach.

I know I posted this image into the Highlands Bluebirds 2023 thread before last season, with the "hope" that this new facility would be ready for the Fall of 2024 season. Well like all "major" projects, not all the ducks (or should we say "Birds") got in a row to make that happen. Fort Thomas/Highlands are still getting this done but the completion date has been kicked to hopefully have the Fall 2025 soccer season being the Grand Opening season. The kids are stoked to get to play on this great complex that it will be. It will be a nice Community addition for Fort Thomas for the public to utilize as well. With that being said the main question was "Where will the soccer programs be moved to during Fall of 2024 season?" Well, in the last week or so it was communicated to the parents that BOTH the girls & boys soccer programs will be utilizing the NKU Stadium for their "Home" site, for games and practices (after school starts), during the summer months the soccer programs will be practicing on the Highlands football field strategically working with the Football program to share time on the field in a very methodical way. There is also some discussion to have 1-3 "Home" games for both programs being played on the Highlands football field for potentially those special nights like "Senior Night" and maybe a rivalry game to have that more Homey feel. If you have been around the Soccer Complex you will notice they have already started the ground work on the access roads around the complex and probably will be starting breaking ground in the actual soccer field area at the beginning of this summer. Stay tuned!!! I will try to post some pictures of the progress.... #GO BIRDS!!!

Andrew Carr!!! BOOM! The bus is getting loaded….. more to come

I totally understand FC! I love your thoughts. You’re like my straight man to my borderline over the top enthusiasm. I BLEED BLUE! I have faith that we will both be very happy come next March/April that UK made a great hire, I just feel it in down to my soul brother.

More Kool-Aid for me then, I'll save some for everyone later I promise. Go Big Blue!!!
