I've seen cases in which it did hurt. But in the case of the Leffew brothers I think they will do a fine job. Why aren't they at Boyle?

Bourbon County. Poynter will get it done!

From what I hear Dahlstrom was done this same way when Massie got the job. So what comes around goes around.

I think John Dudley will be the fb next year and will be a very good one!

McCarthy has one of the biggest hearts of any player i have ever seen play. The East team played like champions. It is a shame anyone had to lose this game. East's future look's bright also with 4 sophomores seing key playing time in the game saturday and 4 juniors. Also the freshman group is very strong. Over 40 kids in grades nine to 11 have committed to coming back out that didn't come out this year. Some of them are the best athletes in the building. Don't be shocked to see the same scenario next fall with East playing a very tough schedule that includes 5 class 6A schools in the regular season. They will be primed for the playoffs.

To many people want to judge based on what they heard from a friend etc. You will be sorry if Marty leaves. Also, somewhere there was this saying that started something like this "let he who is without sin cast the first stone". None of us are perfect. Give the guy a break and at least speak to him face to face instead of this public bashing. If you are one that is throwing those stones I hope you aren't livinng in a glass house. Hang in there Marty. Some of us are gonna be on your side regardless. You've done a great job at Mercer. We want you to do what makes you happy!! Happy Turkey Day to all!:thumb:

Bullitt East won the district. They should not have to play the other district's champion which is Western. N. Bullitt is second and they should not have to play Western either. Another interpretation by Tackett as he sees fit. Basically Bullitt East and North Bullitt both could be punished for Western's problem. Keep them out of the playoffs is the answer imo. Don't know if this is a fact but i hear this is only being done this way because Jerry Wyman made the paperwork mistake and he is calling in a favor to the KHSAA. Why else would they be skipping the point system part of the tie-breaker rule?

Has he been introduced to the team? Someone said it was made official. Who or where was it made official? Was it in the newspaper or something? Just curious. Good luck to the new coach. :thumb:

Are they joining any other schools staff?

Why are they all leaving?

Congrats to Travis. A chip off the old block. I think this a fine young guy that is going to represent his school and Kentucky very well in Ohio. I remember Travis as a small kid and haven't been around him much as he got into high school but did get to see him perform some. It is nice to see his growth and his potential start to develop even further. I remember his dad as a tremendous high school player as well. I am sure he is very proud of Travis. We will be keeping up with you Travis. Go get 'em in Ohio. :dancingpa:dancingpa:thumb::thumb:

Thompson is not making this stuff up. I have heard these stories for years about Paris. It is a sad truth. Until there is change from the top down the same problems will continue. I sure hope Poynter doesn't take this job. Trimble might be a tough place but it just doesn't have the problems he will get if he ends up in Paris. Remember this: Whoever gets the job will not stay longer than 2 or 3 years and they will be fed up and will move on (even if it is a local hire). They might not say truthfully why (like Thompson) but it will be for the same reasons. To mee B. Washington was doing a great job. It is unfortunate that he stepped down or was ran off?

I think if Belfry has a lot back they win the title against Central getting a little revenge. I bet Belfry looking back at last year is sick at some of the things they did that were not their normal style. The pass at the end of the first half was huge for Central.

Just curious to these two questions: Who got passed on a second interview? Where did you get your info?

Yes I do know. But, I am not a member of the hiring committee so I don't want to pass on info based on second hand knowledge. But, I do know that they hired a coach today. Announcement soon.

A coach has been hired today!

If you know him then you know you have not talked to him. You won't call him and he def. knows who you are now :mad:. You are right; keeping it to the original topic is a good idea.

Doug Preston already knows who this guys is :fight: and why he is attempting to bring his name up at every chance. Either way the thread is about a school not a person.

Solid Program that is very well coached. Should have a very good team over the next couple of years. I think the soph. class is very strong. I am not sure what kind of speed they have coming up. :thumb:

Western = SPEED SPEED = Lots of points!!:banana: :fire:

Spring practice is really all over the place in our state. Some people live and die with it while some schools don't even have it. I think it is Paducah Tilman that has very few kids due to heavy track team participation. There are many others like this.

Hadn't thought about it that way. But we do live in the age of the internet. People love to talk. Heck that is what we are doing right now. But either way looking at other opportunities isn't a crime. Guess we'll know for sure if he stays or goes pretty soon. But back to the topic of J-town. I was thinking they were up and coming team and i am kind of surprised that their coach left. Does anyone know what kind of returning team they might put togehter. :thumb:

Good point! Who knows?

I read on the web-site that Western will open up with West Jessamine in 2008. I guess West Jessamine will get to see up close and personal what kind of football team Western will put on the field. I think they return most players from a very young team.

Maybe they have not applied at the places you are referring to? Just like another person said on here we shouldn't start throwing around names wihtout facts. A statemet like this is ridiculous. You have no way of knowing where any coach has applied except that your are passing on what your read on this and other posts (which are usually gossip)imo. The only people who know who officially applies are the people in charge of the hiring process at individual schools. Guess what? Those people don't get together across the state and compile a list of who has applied for different jobs. IF you want to post the schools where someone applies or inquires then call up that coach and ask him. Then post what he tells you and quote him. Then you are posting facts not guesses or things that are untrue. I think somewhere in the rules it refers to posting false or misleading statements. IMO J-town can and will win if they support whoever they hire as coach. Support means things like bringing in assistant coaches, facilities etc.
