Eaglenation

Prayers coming from your neighbors in Campbellsville. May the Lord put his protective hands around this young man.

Same schedule as last year. Play LCA in opener this year. Opened with Frankfort last year. The rest is exactly the same.

CAMPBELLSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL 2008 SCHEDULE: Week #1 - @ Lexington Christian Week #2 - Taylor Co. Week #3 - Lynn Camp Week #4 - @ Green Co. Week #5 - @ Clinton Co. Week #6 - @ Danville Week #7 - @ Williamsburg Week #8 - @ Marion Co. Week #9 - OPEN Week #10 - McCreary Co. Week #11 - Glasgow Pretty tough in its own right.....

No, I got involved when you used Campbellsville High School in context to being easier. It is all relative. But I assure you, Campbellsville is no easy win in Class A, just like Belfry, Mason, Russell and Breathitt are not easy wins in their respective class. I am saying it is all relative.

Easy ???? The difference in 1A and 5A is numbers, not talent. You all combined a couple 1A schools and made a 5A school. What was it Cumberland, Cawood, and Everts? How did those teams do in Class A last year? If my memory serves me correct EKUAlum, every one of those 1A teams you listed made a deeper run than those three combined. The difference is numbers, not talent.....................

The RB this year should be Thomas Downs. He is 6'2 220 and can run. Needs to mature some but has the tools to carry on a strong running game. McCubbin (#24) will get some carries as he is the best athlete on the team. Zach Altman (#8) will also touch the ball from the backfield spot.

Campbellsville will have 9 players on both sides of the ball returning to their starting roles for 2008. The district championship last year was the first in 10 years and was good experience for the young Eagles. A few observations: * C-Ville will have 14 seniors this year. They must lead this team through a VERY difficult schedule that includes LCA, Danville, Glasgow, Green County, and a district that will be one of the better in Class A. * Up front ( O-Line and D-Line ) the Eagles must get tougher. They are big and strong but have a tendency to be tooooo nice. * The passing game must mature again this year. With the running game in solid shape, the Eagles must be able to take advantage of crowding defenses. Expectations are high in the Nation and the players have worked hard this off-season. But, Coach Wiseman continues to tell them the same thing: "GOOD IS THE ENEMY OF GREAT"

PERHAPS TOUGHER IN 2008: Campbellsville - Only lost 2 seniors off last years team. They are a year older but so is everyone else in the district. Get to host Lynn Camp this year, but must travel 2 1/2 hours to Williamsburg for district games. Also goes to Clinton Co. Williamsburg - Lose their outstanding RB, but return all other weapons of their VERY potent passing attack. Get both Lynn Camp and Campbellsville at home for big district games. In my opinion, the team to watch. Lynn Camp - Lose Roskopft, but return a defense that really flies to the ball. Always a BIG group of hard-nosed players that will fight to the end. People should be careful not to overlook this bunch. They are dangerous and well coached. Clinton Co. - Will be better and returns their hoss RB. Look for Clinton Co. to be more involved in the district race. Can't wait for this year. It will be exciting for sure...... More Later.

All the talk on the ALL A baseball and not one word about Campbellsville. That is OK though, we like to travel under the radar. :thumb:

No way one pitcher could sweep the 20th district. Not to say anything other than these kids have been playing against each other since Little Leauge. They have all seen each other so many times, one arm can't get it done. But I do like the build up to the last week of district play with something still on the line. No big deal though, I am pulling for Williamsburg. Go Jackets.......

Who is Riverside?????

To me, it takes a lot of strategy out of a district race. Who to throw, who to save, and the anticipation of a HUGE district game with big time ramifications. The excitment of the unexpected.....:eek:

WOW

Double Header District Games. Wow, that is cut throat. Two district games in the same day.....:creepy:

Walk to the Finals? Cool, love to hear that kind of talk.

Well said! Joe is a good one. Good Luck and get that college education..:thumb:

No Beechwood at "All A State". I thought they were the favorite.......

WOW

Campbellsville beats Bethlehem 9-3 in the 5th Region.

Campbellsville returns 20 of 22 starters. Must replace Shumari Bridgewater but there is a line of running backs waiting for their shot to pack the mail. The most important part ( Offensive Line and Defensive Line ) returns all starters from last year. I believe Campbellsville opens up with Lexington Christian in their bowl game this year.

I agree. Policy is policy. Missed practice ( excused or not ) usually has conseqences. If you don't do this, kids will miss practice on a regular basis for all kinds of excuses. Doesn't have to be considered punishment, just following policy. As far as the parents getting mad and head-hunting, well that is the second oldest professian in history next to second guessing. Shame on the administration for falling victim to these actions. Good Luck Coach Bottoms and Congrates for a job well done...:thumb:

Prayers from the Nation for this young man..........

Thomas Downs and Bryton Taylor for Campbellsville.
