Pre-season if you asked me, I would've said Green but Larue is making a believer out of me. Green is physical, so if Larue can match the physicality of Green and contain the run game, I think Larue wins.

I didn't always agree with every decision that Tackett made, but then again who does? Overall, I think he's been very good for the state! The biggest surprise to me in this announcement was Butch Cope deciding to retire. I think most people had him pegged to be the next commissioner. KHSAA has a long history of hiring from within so I would expect the next commissioner would be a current associate commissioner. It's my understanding that Bilberry is not interested in that position, but I could be misinformed about that.

Tragedy has struck the 5th region and Taylor County. Rising Senior, Jaron Johnson was shot and killed early Sunday morning. Such a sad situation. My thoughts and prayers are with the Johnson family, his teammates and the Taylor County schools.

Josh Pittman, most recently at Caverna, has been hired as the boys basketball coach.

Wonder if they would reach out to Bramblett from North Hardin now that she is available?
