I agree with you, we do disagree on Brossart being a bad hire. I have also watched Ohio football for many years and personally watched Mooney play on multiple occaisons. Cov. Cath is not in the same ballpark as Mooney. Mooney opened the season this year by beating Canton McKinley. I doubt that CCH would have done the same!

He seems to be about the only coach who ever won at Finneytown. You make an ignorant statement when you say that at a small school all you have to do is hire two good asst's and you will win. There are a lot of small schools that aren't winning that would love to talk to you about their coaching job if you know how simple it is to turn it around!

I notice that CCH is no longer playing Elder or Mooney, could that possibly be why their record is better now? I would imagine that CCH would be an underdog every single year that they would play either Elder or Mooney. Mooney being a smaller school has nothing to do with it. Mooney would beat CCH 9 out of 10 times...perhaps 10 out of 10 times.

I agree with goford that Dave Brossart would be a great hire for Dixie. Steve Channel is an interesting name in this discussion. He has retired in Ohio and could double dip in Kentucky. It was not that long ago that he had Edgewood in the Division II State Finals. He would also be a good hire.

I am a Beechwood fan, however, my question had nothing to do with the type of season that they are having this year. I am sure that the players and the fans are enjoying the success that they are having this year and are looking forward to competing for a State Championship. I just was curious as to what they would be like next year. I am not very close to the situation and have not even had the opportunity to see them play this year. I do support them and always wish for the best!

How many starters return and what do you think about their 2012 team?

Sally was an inspriation to MANY young girls during her steller coaching career at Bellevue. She was a leader in the movement for girl's sports at a time when we did not get much recognition or respect. This is a great losss for the Northern Kentucky area in the history of women's sports!

He is the grandson of legendary coach Bob Lewis who won a state title while at Conner HS.

orangecrush, Where did you find this quote? What website were you on? Thanks! Bob Lewis was the finest High School football coach that ever lived!!!

The 88 game was a great game for both schools. Cov Cath went on to go 14-1 and win the AAA State Championship. Beechwood got beat in the Semis by a very good Pikeville team.

I just don't think they will win a State Championship. They nhave a nice program but I don't believe they are State championship caliber. Hiring Siple will not put them in that category.

I wouldn't be so sure of that state title!!!

It is Wirth's job. It is a done deal!

Yes, it is too much to ask! Let them coach their kids. Officials should worry about what is going on in front of them, not behind them! The working media has from the 25 to the goalline of unobstructed view.
