  1. Kash Daniel was pretty recent and Tim Couch was more recent than Scotty Russell, but I can't name the years. Of course they were the AP Mr Football and Dixon is the KFCA Mr Football, a relatively new award.
  2. With Belfry playing Paducah Tilghman this week, I couldn't help but think of my old friend Joey Fosko. BGP's westsider. Joey was the most informed high school sports guy I have ever known, particularly in western Kentucky. Joey and I used to talk about the 1985 championship game in 3A when the Blue Tornado beat my Pirates. I would have really enjoyed talking with him this week. https://bluegrasspreps.com/forums/topic/113438-westsider-has-passed-away/#comments
  3. This is a heavyweight match in the small school ranks. I missed it last year but I am really looking forward to this one. I don’t know who will win, looks pretty even on paper. I’ll be pulling for LCA because of a young man on their team who lost his father recently, and both his parents have deep Belfry roots.
  4. thanks SD for the info. When PT hired Coach Thompson I either read or was told it was the same Shawn Thompson. Glad you corrected me. So for anyone that knows: What is current PT Coach Sean Thompson’s coaching history? And where is former Wayne Co Coach Shawn Thompson at now?
  5. Good stuff DMC. A lot of thoughts running through my head. Glass slipper game, indeed. These will be two young teams who peaked at the right time and have a lot of tradition and history behind them. Two contrasting styles and coaching philosophies, with good measures of success for each Even though 85 wasn’t Belfrys first trip to the championship, Belfry fans remember the 85 loss very well. Tilghman was the more talented team but the Pond Creek boys gave it all they had and with a couple minutes to go it was 16-14 if my memory serves me. The Blue Tornado added a couple scores late to seal the deal. These two coaches faced off in a state championship game in 2013 and it was a classic game. The Pirates won 3-0 on a cold windy day against Coach Thompson’s Wayne Co team. It has been fun watching the Pirates rebound from the demoralizing start to the season. 0 and 5 will take a toll on a young team and nobody knew how they would respond. Credit goes to the coaching staff for keeping eyes on the ultimate prize and following Coach Haywood’s mantra of getting a little bit better every day and doing the fundamentals right. Speaking of coaching, is this the best job this coaching staff has done in their impressive careers? I can’t argue against it. Lots more to discuss this week. This game excites me đŸ€˜đŸŒ
  6. Yes. Not as good as a whole ham, but still good. If it comes from a pig, I probably will like it. One exception is Souse, another is probably chitlins but we will never know on that one.
  7. If only choosing one, its ham every time. I like to have both. I eat the dark meat of the turkey, so there is always plenty for me because nobody fights over it. (white meat vs dark meat, that's a debate) Ham is always solid and we always fix a spiral cut ham of some variety. It is so good as leftovers and the ham bone goes in a kettle of pinto beans a few days later.
  8. I would feel better if Belfry was a little healthier and the game was played on Pond Creek.
  9. I love this type of topic and there are some really good ones listed already. Brossart and Woodford both really stand out. This is a 2-year shout out, but what about Bryan Station and coach Phillip Hawkins? They are 19-3 over 2 seasons and heading into the playoffs strong.

  14. Cawood Ledford Marty Brennamen Vin Scully Al Michaels on rotate
  15. A lot of good ones already mentioned. Feeman, Jones, Jackson and Elliott would all be fantastic. My list would have to start with Casey Kasem. I loved that guy and could listen to him all the time. A few others that haven't been mentioned yet Patrick Warburton Michael Caine Alan Rickman Anthony Hopkins John Malkovich Mike Rowe Jack Nicholson Donald Sutherland
  16. And that is just for this account... :sssh:
  17. According to my profile, today is the 18th anniversary of my BGP account. Hard to believe it has been that long, and then again it seems like a lifetime ago. I made a lot of friends and a few enemies in that time but I'm not naming names. LOL Carry on... :bunny:

  19. Here's your chance, a lot of 4 being auctioned off by the State of Ky. Kentucky park now taking bids for 4 bison UNION, Ky. (AP) - Kentucky officials have some unusual surplus property that's being made available for sale: four bison from Big Bone Lick State Historic Site in Boone County. The Kentucky Department of Parks is accepting bids for the bison, which include a 4-year-old cow and three bulls, each younger than a year old. They will be sold together. Department spokesman Gil Lawson told the Lexington Herald-Leader the park has a small herd of bison and has to sell some each year. He said the park likes to keep 10 to 14 and now has 12 in its 22-acre bison facility, including the four being sold. Four or five calves are born every spring. Bids are being accepted through Feb. 18.
