Hasbeen

I've always thought, no. There are, of course, a lot of rumors floating around and in some articles quoting him he's a little vague on the future.

Barbourville basketball coach announces retirement Could he just be relocating across town?

Played at KC and East Tenn State, and a couple of years professionally overseas. Coaching experience other than as an assistant last season is limited to the elementary school level. Has been named as interim coach for the summer schedule. Tryout maybe?

I've not been able to find official confirmation yet, but very good sources have stated that James Voight has resigned.

High risk, high reward.

So I've been told along with some others from last year's schedule.

It is what it is. Games are getting really hard to come by. My understanding is we were turned down by most of the area 5A schools. What's worse is that for several years now, we've only played 3 home games. Hardly worth the field maintenance.

I enjoy the Pigskin. Usually good competition.

Russell, Clay, Wayne, and Rockcastle are the district games.

Here's the 2015 schedule as I've been told: August-21 Bryan Station @ Madison Central Roy Kidd Bowl August-28 Louisville Central @ Corbin Pigskin Classic September-5 Southwestern Pulaski @ Clay County Appalachian Bowl September-11 Harlan County (away) September-18 Henry Clay (home) September-25 Russell County (away) October-2 Clay County (home) October-9 Wayne County (away) October-16 open October-23 Rockcastle County (home) October-30 Corbin (away)

Oops, just noticed Harlan Co. hired Eddie Creech on the 5th. Ehh, close enough.

Pretty cool that he replaced Harlan Co. faster than they could replace him.

I'm sure I'm not the only Knox Central fan feeling a bit nervous at this development.

An educated guess would be a population decline of at least 20% over the past decade. Most don't realize what a tremendous parade of sports personalities and athletes Harlan County has produced over the years. Most notably, Cawood Ledford, Wah Jones, Bernie Bickerstaff, Ray Massey and Charles Thomas just to name a few. I hope this is not the way it ends for Coach Larkey. Fine coach and gentleman.

It's a 50 man roster. I have no idea if it has happened, but if a kid or 2 was added just as a favor, I can't really say I have a problem with it.

Well, well. A weekend in Barbourville. What fun.:lol2: Welcome to my world.

Let me try. Would I rather have 5 straight finals appearances including a championship or would I rather have 5 wins over Belfry? I think I would much happier with the former.

Have I seen this discussion before? Nah, probably not.

I'm not much of a Williamsburg fan but it is nice to have someone from this end of the state win something.

Boyle brought a good crowd last night and I met some nice people. Even the two guys up top shaking the rock jugs weren't too annoying.:lol2:

Thanks. I just wanted to put that to rest before it became one of those urban legends that gets talked about every year.

Any Rebel fans here who were at the game? Any complaints about field conditions?

I never like seeing my team lose but I think any football fan enjoys watching a team as well coached and fundamentaly sound as Boyle Co. They are an elite team. Congratulations.

I had the opportunity to check the field today and it's actually much better than I thought. Only bare spot seems to be right at midfield, the rest is almost normal. If it were my call, that's where we'll play. (subject to change with the weather, normal rain won't hurt much. Down pours are different.)

Because it's home and Union would be more of a neutral site. Sure it's close, but it's a strange field, strange locker room etc. So far it's not rained this week.
