Itch A Stitch

Definitely will be at this game. I'm interested in observing the parents who went out of their way to promote Levi as the savior when he applied for the Lincoln job while also bashing Jagger's hire. Hope the boosters are grilling some humble pie in the concession stand for these shameless parents. Lincoln wins.

Been out of the loop on this one. Did Ed resign or was he forced out?

Jasper is the real deal.

Parents have always been the problem when it comes to Lincoln girls basketball success. 

West has the talent to advance to Rupp.

Tremendous preview here. I like Lincoln, West, PC, BC. Then WJ and PC. WJ wins it all. 

This is off topic but is the old McKinney school a cult compound now?

Rumor up at Melton's Deli is Stoney is in play for Danville. 

What you hearing at McKinney Depot?

Surely the Admirals can attract better?

Saw elsewhere on the interwebs that Clevenger wasn't even interviewed even though he applied.  Can't confirm that with anyone I've talked to, though.

If true, Danville super may need to pack his bags. His hire is definitely under scrutiny.

Even with the big kid, Catholic just does have much of an inside game.  They had trouble knocking down the threes.

Catholic will get better as the season progresses. The Knights will be a tough out in the post season.

Obviously Clevenger would be the top option of these 3 names (respectfully). However, I would be highly shocked if Crutchfield or Cooper showed interest here. Maybe, but I wouldn't expect their names to really be thrown around much. I guess we never know! 

The Cooper name is gaining traction.

This has been in works for a while. Welcome back Clevenger.

Rumors are rampant.

Kentucky has revised KRS 156.070 which is the statute that establishes the general powers and duties of the Board Of Education in relation to their management and control of interscholastic sports in the state.

The newly added text:

KRS 156.070 (2)(h)

Any student who transfers enrollment from a district of residence to a nonresident district under KRS 157.350(4)(b) shall be ineligible to participate in interscholastic athletics for one (1) calendar year from the date of the transfer.

This is not new. (2)(h) has been been part of KRS 156.070 for years. All student athletes are ineligible one year from the date of transfer.  KHSAA Bylaw 6 allows student athletes to request a waiver.

A different look at Glenn's game winner:

 

That is one heck of a shot by Glenn.

If that is, in fact, double birds to their student section, that is the easiest call in the history of technicals.

No excuse for this. Right call was made. Can't let emotions get the best of you. This is definitely a learning experience.

Ashland will be a tough out for anyone they face in the Sweet 16.

Was able to watch this game online. Typical Lincoln County game plan. Control the tempo and choose wise shots. Not sure why Pulaski County did not keep Stevens in the post. That was their advantage to exploit. Instead he spent a good chuck of the game shooting 3's. My main takeaway is that Travis from Pulaski County can ball.

In the end, team chemistry and a well thought out game plan prevailed. Good luck to Lincoln County at the Sweet 16.

Glad for the students in Estill County.

All this. 

There have been things posted in this thread that are not true, by people that want to be more in the know than they are. Let's just let the people who are actually involved do their jobs and we'll find out who the new coach is when it happens. 

It's a shame how many people post "things they have heard" as opposed to actual facts.

Clark for OC

Lopez for DC

Go get a winner for HC

 

For all those who say “it’s already happened!!!!” I actually have talked to those in the know at both schools.

For starters, the Hopkinsville High School Principal and AD made the hire. Clark was the only applicant that had good HC experience. No one wanted this job without assurances they’d get the big job, as to why you didn’t get a lot of applications. Clark knew his time wasn’t long at McCracken, so he’s taking this job hoping he’ll impress the Board.
 

The Hoptown Principal is not under influence by the board as he was up for the job when the former Christian principal got the job. 
 

The HHS principal and AD have no power to promise the consolidated job. The HHS principal likely won’t be around for the consolidation. Kerry Stovall is district Athletic Director and he probably will lead the actual search for a new football coach.

How I know this? Someone in here mentioned a Louisville coach will be the new coach. I talked to a big time HC in Louisville. He said he was approached 3-4 weeks ago saying the Board was planning on hiring the Consolidated coach to oversee both programs for the 2022 season and then combine in 2023. There were major names being talked to from in state, out of state, and college. A title 9 interpretation stopped them from doing this as they’d have to do this for all sports, male and female. 
 

So as of 3 weeks ago, they were doing an actual search that included big names. That got shelved. Clark shortly after accepted the Hoptown job, as there is still a shot he could get the big job. Clark wanted the big job, but it wasn’t likely he’d get it with the names on that list. But now that he’s in the district, he feels he can prove himself in 1 season.

They were having conversations a few weeks back with names that you’d expect for a job that big, so I doubt they’d just promise Clark the job now and change course. 
 

The new CCHS coach could have the same shot as Clark to coach the consolidated school, or could be the OC. It all depends. 
 

But one fact remains, the HHS people that hired Clark have 0 power to promise him that job and if they claim so then it’s a lie. The HHS job search hired the best man, but there will be a separate search for a consolidated coach. Nothing has been promised.

The Board has no authority to hire any athletic position.

He’s a talker for sure. Talks a good game.

Interesting hire for sure.

Bath has played an inferior schedule. Predict they go home early.

I thought Western would be a region contender.

Going to be one heck of a regional tournament.
