I think they would be in 5A most likely, WC being 2A and East being in 3A. The problem is where to build a school? Off the interstate makes sense but Grayson people wouldn’t abide the new school being in Olive Hill and Vice Versa. 

Looks amazing coach, what are the dimensions of the main turf area? 

They are doing a disservice to these athletes if they aren’t allowing them access to the weightroom. They should name an interim head coach from the existing staff and allow him to run the day to day operations, until a decision is made. I went through something similar as a player and consistency was very important, we didn’t lose any players to transfer AND improved our record from our Jr to Sr year under what was essentially an interim head coach my entire senior year. It really put a chip on our shoulders.

Heartbreaking news. Prayers for peace for coach and his family and friends. 

Per Nate Bryan on Twitter - Colt Phelps has been hired as HC. He was OC for Ashland Blazer this past season. Good Luck and Congratulations 

Hearing Paintsville’s Joe Chirico name being g attached to the job? If so that would be a great hire, he’s an excellent coach.

Clay is a wonderful coach and very good friend. I hate this. 

Having said that, the next coach should be able to ask for anything and get it. The Danville administration is in a bad spot. They have to do everything in their power to make the next coach successful, or a bad situation will get even tougher and uglier. 

100% opinion.... if the next coach is NOT successful... merger talk will increase substantially.

Most school admin will not admit this truth.... success on the football field can be a very important driver for the entire school system. That success also is a huge part of building a positive school culture in the classroom and elsewhere. 

Many of your top academic schools are top football schools. That is not a coincidence. 

I'll never be a superintendent... .but if I was, football would be a huge priority because that would benefit my entire school system. 

I really wish more admin realized this truth or at least coached at some point in their careers.

Danville returns a some really good upperclassmen who have started for a couple of years.  I think they will be better but the trouble is that they are in the same district as LCA who might have their best team ever next year.  Plus Somerset who loses some good players but also return some really good ones.  If they were in a different district I think they play until the 3rd or 4th round.  But with the district they are in, they will be going home after playoff week 2 or maybe ever week 1. 

I haven't said it in a while, but I hate the intra-district first and second rounds. 

I couldn’t agree more with the intradistrict playoff format. I feel like it really holds lesser teams back from growing and firmly established teams on top. The state has RPI, surely they could divide it East/West and seed teams according to RPI. RPI Seeding gives 3/4 seed teams in elite districts a chance to win a playoff game which is a huge boost for their program. 

i hope Danville finds the right guy, it’s a program I’ve always admired 

Does this fall out from firing Coach Clevenger doom the next guy that comes in to lead Danville?
