  1. This was a wild factoid. I would have never guessed it.
  2. Certainly sounded from Larry Vaught's article that Woods was pretty content to be retired, stay in Wayne County, and go watch Tennessee basketball. I can't see him going to another school, but if I had an opening I would most definitely call him.
  3. Which is funny after he spent two decades at South Laurel and a little time at Southwestern he's become something of a mercenary ever since.
  4. Was there wiggle room on the contract? I think Lincoln was originally scheduled to play Lafayette last season but something came up and they added Scott County pretty last-minute. I'll assume it was a 2-year deal but someone more in the know can maybe confirm.
  5. Put an advertisement on a uniform, add a couple teams to the playoffs, tell Shohei he's fine, call it a day!
  6. Add in a very winnable district (two of the other three schools are very small), a proximity to central Kentucky that might promote growth (something no other region school except Estill County can claim), and a solid basketball history (28 district titles and 2 state tournament appearances) and this is definitely a good job in the 14th Region.
  7. The article: https://www.yoursportsedge.com/2024/03/28/first-year-wayne-county-superintendent-fires-rodney-woods/vaughts-views/larryvaught/
  8. Honestly, every lyric from that song works on this situation!
  9. From last summer, the last paragraph in the article linked below. Clearly some bad blood between multiple parties in Monticello... The meeting was quickly adjourned with security officers clearing the board room during some heated verbal exchanges at the conclusion. Neal’s contract begins on August 1, 2023. Neal served the district for many years including as teacher, principal, and director of transportation. https://z93country.com/archives/354169/local-news/
  10. Wasn't it middle of the night which would have limited the amount of traffic, too.
  11. I assume one is Bruiser Flint, who seems to sit sideways on the bench and never say a word. I wonder who the other is? Maybe Chuck Martin, who came from Oregon?
  12. I'm over 40 years old and every conversation I've ever had with anyone about this has always said "it will happen in 7-10 years." It still hasn't happened, but a lot of 7-10 year ranges have come and gone! 😂
  13. Someone smarter about this than me can probably answer it better but Danville is larger than those schools listed. They still have right at 500 kids in the high school. Their tax base is still solid, although all the suburban land has been gobbled up by the Boyle County district over the last two decades. I think consolidation could happen but I'm not sure how imminent.
  14. I went to a Transy game this season and during a media timeout the PA man announced the camp for this summer. He then said it had been around for however-many years and asked anyone in the audience who had ever attended the camp to stand up. I'd say over half the gym stood up!
  15. What I like about Shaheen Holloway is how tough his teams are. They were a bubble team this year and didn't make it. He made a couple comments after the selection show about Seton Hall not getting picked, but then they've rolled through two rounds of the NIT (when teams who feel they were shafted often just pack it in). That tells me he has control and respect with the players. He is a Seton Hall alum and a New Jersey guy, but certainly Louisville could offer him money that Seton Hall likely couldn't match. He wouldn't be a bad option.
  16. This shows the size and power of these container ships. The bridge folded like an erector set. Terribly sad situation. @Jumper_Dad mentioned the time of day; I think I saw something this morning that the rescue squad thought it was somewhere between 7-20 cars on the bridge when it collapsed.
  17. Was a little surprised he wasn't considered for the Duke job when Coach K left.
  18. Earlington had football prior to World War II but by the time they won the basketball title in 1967 the pigskins were long gone.
  19. Of the 15 schools that over time have combined and consolidated to get to Harlan County High School, only three teams ever played in the state tournament: Benham, first round losers in 1931 and 1935, and Cumberland, first round victims in 2003. I suspect there will be a good deal of cheering tonight from some old Evarts Bulldogs and Highsplint Ramblers; probably a lot of rooting from former Cumberland Redskins, Benham Tigers, East Benham Rams, Lynch Bulldogs, and Lynch West Main Pirates; some hooting and hollering from some past Cawood Trojans, Loyall Indians, Black Star Eagles, Hall Gamecocks, Cawood City Wildcats, Grays Knob Yellow Jackets, and Yancey Bulldogs; and a little familial excitement from myself, whose family left Wallins (home of the Purple Devils), almost a century ago exactly. Good luck to the Black Bears!
  20. Both schools playing for their first state championship. Lyon County had not advanced past the second round before this season while Harlan County had only played one state tournament game in history, a first round loss in 2017. For the Lyons, they'll try to be the first Region 2 team to win it all since Christian County in 2011; Harlan County is looking to be the first Region 13 team to cut the nets since Clay County in 1987 (current 13th Region member South Laurel was still in the Region 12 when they won it in 2005).
  21. His lack of success at Vanderbilt was odd, considering he's won big everywhere else. Seeing Jerry Stackhouse, who was also highly regarded, completely flame out at Vandy makes me think it is a Vanderbilt problem more than a coaching problem. I doubt Bryce Drew ends up at Louisville but I wouldn't be surprised if his name pops up at another bigger job real soon.
  22. Grambling's first postseason tournament game victory since knocking off Missouri S&T in the first round of the 1976 Division II tournament.
  23. At one point I think they were 19-5 and ranked in the top 25. However, they really tanked down the stretch, losing six of their last ten and only averaging 56 ppg during that set of games.
