Absolutely awesome. GREAT player. I expect to see him playing on Sundays eventually.

Not a bad point.

I'm assuming I'm not the only one who reads this and thinks Danville's roster numbers are low?

I'd say they have potential for at least 4 wins during the regular season. And you've gotta assume they play either Scott Co or Douglass in the first round of the playoffs so that will be a loss. Realistically I think all of their non-district schedule is pretty evenly matched and several games could really go either way. From the couple of times I've seen Grant play in years past, I always felt like their kids were surprisingly small, across the board. Not sure if that's a regular thing they struggle with or not, but I definitely was surprised at how small they were up front especially. I don't follow the program in particular but whenever I check scores I'm kinda always low-key root for them because they're one of those schools that is just set up to get their keisters handed to them in district play. Aug 20 vs. Holmes Loss Aug 27 at Lloyd Memorial Tossup. Sep. 3 at Walton-Verona Tossup, probably WV. Sep 10 vs. Carroll County Win Sep 17 vs. Scott Win Sep 24 at Montgomery County (District) Win Oct 1 vs. Frederick Douglass (District) Loss Oct 7 at Scott County (District) Loss Oct 15 - BYE Oct 22 vs. Great Crossing (District) Loss Oct 29 vs. South Laurel Win

I'm still just...... ? Do you think Manual and Shawnee high school are pretty similar too? Both are JCPS schools. Only separated by about 6 miles.

Are you forreal? Do you have any clue what kind of families are even attending those two schools? And you realize that like half or more of a local public school district's budget comes from property tax, right? Now which city do you think collects more in property taxes, Newport, or Fort Thomas? Newport: Median household income (in 2019 dollars), 2015-2019 - $37,435 Persons in poverty, percent - 32.4% Fort Thomas: Median household income (in 2019 dollars), 2015-2019 - $78,972 Persons in poverty, percent - 5.2%

As an outsider looking in, the change in demographic from Highlands to Newport is a particularly interesting one for Coach Weinrich. Has he ever coached in an inner city public school before?

Grego Scott is a current freshman lineman that transferred in from Western. Announced his transfer back in February which seemed to coincide with a lot of the "weird" going on at Evangel. Debo Jackson is another current freshman lineman who transferred to Evangel from Western. Saw back in February at some point where he retweeted a countdown to opening kickoff with some Eagle emojis added as personal flair, which I took as his transfer disclosure as well. Both were on the varsity roster for Western last year, but Western failed to report stats to the KHSAA all season. Both players tweeted about their varsity playing time at Western though so I would assume that means they sit for the 2022 football season at Evangel due to transfer eligibility. Manual lost Zahron Washburn is a quick little back, pretty shifty on his feet. Another freshman transfer. He played in all of Manual's varsity games this past season. Freshman lineman Christoper Jones was talking about transferring to Evangel as well but I think he has reconsidered. He played in one of Manual's varsity games so he may not have been too keen on the idea of sitting out for some or all of 2022. Was told that Eli Price is a current junior at Waggener that may be re-classifying to 2023 so he can transfer to Evangel and play one more year of football.

Bullitt County approved.

I know you can't see me but I'm giving my smarmiest grateful bow right now.

Football program picked up a decent all-purpose back in a transfer from Dupont Manual. From the sound of things that won't be the only new face walking the halls at Evangel next year.

So from everything I've seen this is a school like Douglass that's manufactured to win in sports, right? And I mean, look at that schedule, even with three games missing still. Bonkers.

Garrard, Lincoln, Washington and Whitley are all winnable games. Boyle and Johnson Central are going to be beat downs. Danville actually did decent against LCA last year. Lost by 4. But with their starting QB transferred to Boyle, the Ads' offensive potency is suspect. Maybe we'll see a surprise in there, but I figure to see things at 3-7 or 4-6 come 10/30.

Ballard seems like it has had a little step up on Male for the last give or take decade but I think that is largely Renner's doing. So those are big shoes to fill.

So I'm assuming I'm not the only one hearing substantiated rumors that Chris Renner is getting ready to announce his retirement right? And that it's actually happening this time and not just a rumor?

Promoted from assistant coach. Also was a head coach on the middle school level for several years.

Gotta love the interwebz... According to the article from the Henderson Gleaner, it looks like Jay and Josh Boston are close friends, and Jay has been looking to direct his career into an administrative position. The opportunity presented itself, and he took it. https://www.thegleaner.com/story/sports/2021/04/23/jay-burgett-joins-henderson-staff-associate-head-coach-associate-ad/7348940002/ “He’s not ready to quit coaching, but he’s ready to explore the administrative avenue," Boston said. “I’m not going to be a coordinator, but I will be aiding in the game planning and things of that nature on that side of the ball,” said Burgett, who will coach linebackers on defense.

Jay is just a health and phys ed teacher at Madisonville in addition to being coach. Henderson's a bigger school than Madisonville, so the pay for associate HC at Hendo may well be comparable to the HC job at Madisonville. Not sure if he's still going to have a job in the classroom to go along with his associate AD duties, but my assumption is that there's a bump in pay somewhere along the way. Andrews is only in his first year as AD and Boston is going into his 6th year as HC at Henderson, so I wouldn't guess either of them are looking at going anywhere in the immediate. Jay's wife Katie is a social worker, so maybe there's an additional career opportunity for her that we're not hearing about here. Maybe there's something else family-related. Who knows.

Seems like a good spot for another of the Chris Wolfe assistants to surface as a head coach.

The Ads have had Wayne, Mason, Allen County, Shelby Valley, Bell, Bardstown, Madison Central, Madison Southern and John Hardin all appear in various iterations of their last couple years' non-district schedules. Mason had an open date on 10/1 so that might be the game for that date. Madison Central and Bardstown are yet to put out a schedule. And I think Douglass and Bryan Station are the only to FCPS programs with schedules out yet.

Was he in the mix for the head coach job at T? Possibly a case of hurt feelings?

Good info, thanks. I like seeing when the state's talent spreads out further. Sounds like they've got some good things going on at Hendo.

Boudin. Eat the boudin. And if you find deep fried boudin balls anywhere, eat those too.

Is Henderson that good? I feel like they're one of those programs that's like "Oh yeah, remember back when Henderson used to be good?"
