When does Mercer Co. scrimmage?

If Lafayette doesn't get the Super-Staph infections as reported on the news this morning straightened out they may not get to play this one.

North Hardin and John Hardin are seperate schools. Both are part of the same schools system though (Hardin County Schools).

I would be all for Scott Co. staying but I would like to see the Frankfort area schools move over to the 8th. It is way too far to play Richmond and Lexington schools when they are surrounded by 8th region schools. It seems more like the KHSAA leaves them in the 11th more out of comfort than necessity.

It make sense to move Western Hills, Frankfort, and Franklin Co. to the 8th (which means Simon Kenton would go to the 9th) and move GRC, Bourbon, and Montgomery to the 11th. Then they would have to drive to Maysville for the region every year or every couple of years if MC gets to host.

Players really suffer in situations like this. How well do they matchup against Western Hills tonight?

Darius is a Junior this year, but has played varsity since 9th grade.

The Flyers should be strong with Myer and Hall shooting the three and Hicks attacking the rim. They also ahd a tremendous freshman team last year. They got a very nice transfer in the post with Andy Donovan coming over from Lex Catholic.

Easy mistake to make Western Hills, Frankfort, and Franklin Co. are right next door and they are all stuck in the 11th. Anderson has a good young post player in the Russell kid and some younger guards who are decent shooters. Drury's teams always play good defense so if they develop some ball handling I think they could make some noise in the 8th.

I saw Shelby Valley in Frankfort at the BGC and they looked good. They pass the ball really well and communicate on defense which makes up for their lack of size. I was impressed with how well they handle pressure and knock down shots in transition. I haven't seen the other two teams this summer.

Lexington Catholic, Madison Central and Henry Clay all looked very good as well. Looks like the 11th will stacked with talent again this year.

I agree. The Cuba Cubs. If you haven't read the book "When Cuba Conquered Kentucky" you should. It is a great book.

I agree.

I am not sure which coaches were given that choice. I am just getting this info second hand. Hopefully someone else out there can fill us in.

Here is the word I am getting from a spouse of an FHS coach of a different sport. Most of their coaches recieved letters stating they were letting them go, however most had the option to come back at a lower pay scale (a way to save money). I am not sure if that option was available with this particular job or not.

He coached Frankfort's girls team last year and did not coach this year.

I believe the list is: Berea Lyon Co. Warren Central Graves Co. Henderson Co. Greenwood Shelby Co. Daviess Co. Lexington Catholic Dupont Manual

If this is true, he coaches softball as well. So that would be three vacancies.

Coach Forrest said he wanted to play for several years. The parents gave in (and let him wear shorts) and let him play this year. I know that Coach Lane from Transy was at their game with Western Hills to watch him. He had a very good game against Hills, he is quite a physical player. Good luck to the Colonels in Rupp.

There are a lot of people in Frankfort (from Frankfort, Franklin Co. and Western Hills) who agree with you. Teams from the 8th have to drive through Frankfort (i.e Anderson and Henry/Owen) to play each other.

He is the third one on the list
