I had to chuckle, I read on another board, Chad Pennington. The man has built Sayre. He doesn't have to answer to anyone there. Why would he bother with a School Board, AD, and Principal. Chad’s a great man. Somerset is a Great job, But not a job for him. Oh by they way will the jumpers buy his house in Woodford Co. It’s about 2.5 Mil. 

they trying to hit the portal? Mr. Tackett line one please….

Am I correct in thinking that J. Johnson is Coach Brown's son?

Nope, he’s Dennis Johnson’s Son, the football coach. Coach Brown’s is Aiden Nelson.

There feeder ( EJ Hayes) is the only Middle School I’ve seen that cuts kids. I think parents know about D1 Status. 

He’s been around. I know it wasn’t a fit for whatever reason at Woodford. Not every place is a fit for everyone. I though he would have been a good fit at Somerset. It’s now a place with all the bells and whistles. Good luck to him and all his clones. 

Is StoneBreaker getting cloned? Thought he was going to Somerset? Is Adair a step up from Casey? It’s not my neck of the Woods. 

Idk them. I know they get boat raced in middle school, I know that’s a good conference. RDC, Woodford, Elkhorn, the Scott Schools. Etc. I know they get smacked at the 5A level. Do they have problems retaining kids? Do they just move away? 
I never thought I’d be talking about Grant Co Braves football.

They a have a youth feeder program.

I’m sure they do… but are they good? Are the coaches good? That's the difference from good and great, and bad to good.

Agreed...they were in district with Cov Cath, Dixie and Highlands during the prior alignment before dropping out of district play for the last two years of the alignment.

With the size of their school, it's tough for Grant County to catch a break with the relative lack of football culture in their area.

It always starts at the top and bottom. If you don’t have admin behind you and a youth feeder program, your toast. 

Glad to see state schools keep kids like this here. Good kid, good size has great ball skills. Played some Db as well. Has some size to maybe play safety, in College. A little know fact about him most don’t know. He is the Son of Jarron Brown who played basketball at Bryan Station and Pitt, and is the Hs at Woodford Co Currently.

Here's my take on 5A. There are 11 teams west of the Louisville area. I doubt they will force 1-2 of those teams to travel all the way to Louisville, so I think there will be a 5 team & a 6 team district in the west. Similarly, there are 6 schools in Northern KY that all very close to one another and not really close to anyone else. I think they create another 6 team district for those schools. In the Louisville area, I used I-65 as a dividing line because that's what they did last time.

District 1: Graves Co., Marshall Co., Madisonville N. Hopkins, Muhlenberg Co., Owensboro

District 2: Bowling Green, Greenwood, Warren Central, Grayson Co., Barren Co., Ohio Co.

District 3: Butler, Iroquois, Fairdale, Bullitt Central

District 4: Atheron, N. Bullit, Seneca, Moore

District 5: Woodford Co., Collins, S. Oldham, Anderson Co.

District 6: Highlands, Scott, Dixie Heights, Boone Co., Conner, Cooper

District 7: Madison Southern, Montgomery Co., East Jessamine, West Jessamine, Scott Co.

District 8: Southwestern, Pulaski Co., North Laurel, South Laurel, Harlan Co.

This is the best one I’ve seen. Pretty accurate via Geography.

Tough gig. I’m not real sure how much football culture is there. Had a tough draw the last few years with the likes of Scott Co and Douglas. If you do have talent you will likely get it plucked away. Best of luck to the Braves. 

Woodford may play the toughest schedule in the state. They have 4 home games.

What does 5A District 6 look like with loss of Douglas, Great Crossing, and Grant Co?

The easy solution would be add, Anderson South Oldham And or Woodford/Madison Southern/Collins 

East/west Jess the left over other 2 out of Woodford/MS/Collins. 

Looks like Anderson Co Moves up to 5A. 
Looks like Grant Co goes down 4A

Looks like Scott High moves from 5A

With Great Crossing and Douglas moving to 6A 

Whitley Co moves down to 4A

I can see some major shuffling on 5A district 6,7,8. Could see anderson joining  7. Scott high joining 6 and Madison Southern Moving to 8. 

I’m the game of basketball in 2022, he is going to have to be able to step out on the floor. I didn’t see any of that. Kind of reminds me of Marcus Lee that played at UK

Moreno was dominate inside 29 and 15. He talented but a little raw for the next level. He has time. 

Woodford had 2 key players out due to injury McCrear and Starks. Lca did shoot well

Coach Lucas left Somerset in a good spot and you rarely hear grumblings about administration and discontent from players and families from Somerset.

Very true. Good organized programs, with admin/coaches/players/parents. Talent comes and goes in schools this size. Programs that work together, have fewer problems. 

90% of the time, if the administration doesn't care. It’s hard to get the rest of the school to care about football. But boy they loved running it up on people when the had a once in a generation talent.
If I were a prospective coach….I’d look at the middle school program. Then Run.  

Jasper Johnson Woodford Co, I mean he’s either 16th to 38th nationally in the class of 2025 But 5th best player in the 8th region…lol
