It seems that many of the Highlands faithful are seeing this as a breakout year for the Birds. If they fail to produce as expected, will the head coach start getting fingers pointed in his direction as the reason the team is not meeting expectations?

Coach Court will bring a ton of energy, enthusiasm and football knowledge to Boone County. He no doubt will have the ear of several current and former local head coaches for advice as he prepares to lead the Rebels back to football relevance in Northern Kentucky.

Agree 100% .

The position has been offered and accepted. Boone County has a new head football coach.

It is not Eric Turner, according to my sources.

My thought is that it is better for very weak programs to opt out under the current system. That said, the system should change. Maybe implement a Harbin ratings system or similar program and let that system determine the strongest teams in each class. The playoffs would include only the top 8-12 teams in each class. The KHSAA participation trophy mentality is the problem here.

I see a 4-6 season on the horizon for the Neers.

Any chance we see a two headed monster at QB for the Birds? The different skill sets of Litmer and Lorenzen could make the team very difficult to prepare for if both see snaps at multiple positions including QB.

Now that the Brossart decision has been made, has there been any information leaked about how the Boone County search is going?

Ah, my mistake! Thanks for the correction

Well, when dad is on the hiring committee, this was a foregone conclusion, right? I was wrong and corrected! Holy Cross is where Bruce is on the committee.

I may be in the minority, but I'd prefer if this game was deeper into the season. That way, neither team can say "It was the first game. We were not in sync yet. If this game was played today, the outcome would be different. We're a much better team now, than when the season started. Etc..."

19.7% Hispanic at Boone, compared to 14.7% at Jtown. not a huge disparity.

Guru, can you elaborate on what is going on in the Boone draw area and how the others you mention are different in significant ways?

My point is that Jeffersontown, despite being a school faced with grinding poverty among it's students, is successfully fielding a competitive football team. Boone's issue seems to be getting enough kids motivated and involved to even field a competitive team. How does the Jeffersontown staff keep kids involved in their program while Boone cannot? Also, allowing a lower classification due to not being competitive, could open a Pandora's box throughout the state.
