Book was excellent. My wife and I have watched the first episode on Netflix, too.

I was probably too critical. He’s ultimately done a good job. But I still think things in Lexington have been stale for a few years - they’ve coasted by without any innovation or improvement. Eventually everyone needs to leave their jobs, and most of us don’t leave soon enough. I’m anxious to see the steps the KHSAA takes going forward.

Counter-argument: their 74 years of combined experience couldn’t figure out how to get the new scoreboard to work efficiently when they had over a year to do it. New blood has been needed for a bit up there in my opinion.

Interception on a deep attempt by DuBois. Wild ending to a sloppy but fun game. Holy Cross pulls it out, 19-18.

Ball hits a Cougar, Dubois recovers. Lions ball at midfield, 17 seconds left. I think they’re out of timeouts.

19-18, 20 seconds left. Onside kick coming.

Pass to the corner knocked down by Holy Cross. Terrific play by the defensive back.

Timeout Dubois…

Timeout Holy Cross. Looks like Dubois is going for the win here.

Dubois scores with 20 seconds left. Big decision coming here…

Dubois at the 31, 2nd & 6. 1:07 to go

First down pass to the 35. 1:44 left

Two first downs. Ball now near midfield, 2:09 to go.

Dubois holds Holy Cross. Lions ball on their own 20, 3:42 to go.

Dubois connects on a deep ball then scores a couple plays later. Holy Cross 19-12, 5 minutes left.

It’s been sloppy. Holy Cross looks better but in part because DuBois has committed quite a few very costly penalties that have ruined drives.

Holy Cross connects on a deep ball then scores from one yard out. Cougars up 19-6, nine minutes left.

Dubois scores with two minutes left in the third. Holy Cross 12-6.

Nice performance by the WEB DuBois marching band and dancers!

Dubois drives to the 10 yard line but a hold and personal foul penalty kills the drive. Holy Cross 12-0 at the break.

Long Holy Cross drive culminates in a QB sneak for a touchdown. Cougars up 12-0 with five minutes left before halftime.

Holy Cross picks off DuBois on the first play of the game. March 50 yards in six plays to lead 6-0 halfway through first quarter. First impression of Holy Cross is good. Nice size up front and lots of skill and speed.

Stadium doesn’t appear completely finished but it’s very nice. Perfect night for football!

Big difference in throwing the ball in 1A compared to 6A. He's a good quarterback but that defensive speed adjustment will certainly take time.
