I am against football being played in the spring. For couple reasons 

1. Turn around from Spring to Fall is short. Injury recovery window is small. I think we may put kids at risk.

2. Some Seniors may not want play fear of risking injury and short recovery time to get ready for next level.

3. Kid that may graduate in Winter will miss senior season.

From what I understand is that isn't possible with current testing processes. And that has been an issue since day one, so the numbers as they've been reported over time have been under the same methodology. So if we are showing record/increasing numbers now, that reporting is still relevant, and is still alarming.

Yes it is something we should be concerned about. But to jump 700 people in day scares everyone and those numbers are misleading. They are working on daily averages then report the daily averages and not a 700 person bump like they did on Sunday. 

I am sending my child to school. Because the mental health is more concerning than this virus. 

I am watching both sides react and the truth has to be in the middle. If the truth is in the middle then I think it is safe to live as close to normal as possible. With some exceptions.

Here's another one of those things folks keep trotting out there as proof that the numbers are skewed.  The positive result the CDC is referring to in the above statement is related to the Covid Antibody test. That test only confirms if you've had Covid in the past, and is not used to determine if you've currently got Covid or not. The antibody test is not used when determining cause of death. The viral test is the test that is used to determine whether or not you have an active CV 19 infection, and the results from a viral test is actually what is used when determining if a death was Covid related or not. So your statement regarding the common cold couldn't be more incorrect. It's important to take in the whole context...you can't just pick and choose bullett  points.

Here is the CDC information for the Viral test and antibody test and how they are used, and why they are different.  https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/testing/diagnostic-testing.html. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/testing/serology-overview.html

I urge everyone to do your due diligence before you jump on these memes and posts from non reliable sources, because the misinformation that is being spread by those who are quick to grab on to the conspiracy/hoax/media agenda theories, are causing people to make bad decisions regarding their health.

 

 

I believe we need to take steps to stay safe. BUT 

I also believe that the numbers are misleading. We hear a number of positive test are daily. What we don't hear is when those test taken. What we are getting is a total of positive test results received that day. Some test take 10 - 7 -5 days to return. So I want to know the following 

Day 1 

Number tested on Day 1, Number Positive test on Day 1 , Number negative test on day 1, Number of people in ICU on Day 1. Then do same thing each day. 

Example of 967 test on Sunday scares everyone. But this number is from several days. 

I am not saying we shouldn't be concerned. But I want real numbers daily. 

Praying for this young man, is family, and the community.

Those guide lines don't seem like they are too fun.

Safety is the focus in my mind. Obviously on the virus side, waiting till normal start in July is best. Is there a safety concern from the on field play side if you wait till July? What are the football risks in waiting till July?

VOR,

Safety is always on my mind. There are other things that go on that coaches are needed for in schools that have a high number of kids on free and reduced lunch.

See I need to make sure kids are being fed. I need to make sure summer school classes are being attended. I need to make sure kids are not doing drugs. I need to love on a few kids. Has nothing to do with X's and O's. Those kids also need to be a part of something. They need some structure that is provided. Some may need some walking around money.

Some coaches have kids that have bigger issues than Covid -19. I wished that was only thing some of the kids had to deal with in life.

My wife works for a school district and recently had a phone conversation with young lady who is a pretty good athlete. She was having to do some things with her body to feed herself and her siblings. I am not saying coaches can keep kids safe all the time. But the chances increase when a coach can be involved with them. These are things you can't do if you can't get them away from their environment long enough to lay your eyes on them to make sure they are ok.

So sure we can wait to July 1. My daughter who is an athlete will be fine. But there is a percentage of kids that have been away from their coaches so long. May be too late.

The government will be allowing Groups of 10 to meet if not mistaken May 22nd. (I could be off a day or two) With that I am not sure why schools could start to bring players in small groups and spread out and get some conditioning in. I think this could be done and still follow guidelines.

Personally, I feel this team that went 15-0 and won the Class 2A Title doesn't get the ink and respect they probably deserve for as good as they were.

 

Bardstown laid waste to their schedule that year and a 21-0 win over a solid Glasgow team was the closest anyone ever came to them. They blasted an excellent Prestonsburg team in the State Finals.

 

All told they would outscore their opponents 751-139 on the year with 10 of those games being by a 5 TD margin or more.

 

John Wesley Monin was the QB and they had a pair of stud RB's in Jaime Cotton and Maurice Crowe. Joseph Blackmon was a dynamic two-way player as well.

 

Who I remembers this team? Anything you want to add? Was this one of the great small school teams to ever come through in Kentucky?

 

I agree. That team was loaded with talent and well coached.

I would love to see Frankfort and Danville play again.

There has been conversation about these two playing again.

Still in bowl game week 2.

The young man is special. I think he is little underrated. Some schools will miss out on him.

If there is no football season. Means there will not be a state finals. If that is the case you may see the KHSAA fold. They can't miss that kind of revenue. The lost out on both Sweet 16 this year. No Football finals may be the final blow.

I don't know the Super at Anderson County. I just don't understand the purpose of the statement they released. Doesn't serve a purpose. Other than it appears to take a shot at Coach Peach that wasn't needed.

Good news for both schools.

Frankfort had good run this season. After graduating 90% of their scoring was able make it to All A finals and win the 41st.

Here is an idea. If you are the best team just WIN the games you play come tournament time.

I get so tired of people wanting to mess with high school sports. Stop the madness with all the tweaks.

DO they have a coach?

Yeah, I believe this guy can coach a little bit.

He really has shown he can this season. Based off what they lost last season. To make the run they made in the ALL A and now doing it again.

Coach O’Bryan has done a great job this season. Congrats to the Panthers!

If not mistaken the Panthers trailed by 13 to start the 4th.

Any time Penny gets beat I am happy. Not a fan.

Frankfort picks up a big district win. Creates coin toss situation for seeding in the 41st district between Frankfort and Western Hills.

IMO Cards can't put it together for 2 quarters. This will bite them soon. Good news is they are finding away to win games they would have lost last season.

I'm a fan of the blind draw. I understand the side of those that like the seeding. But I'm always pulling for the little guys! Long live the Draw!
