Prince yesterday. Metallica today. Got a nice-sounding copy of "Master of Puppets" this weekend.

I'm hearing it now, though. Happy Manic Monday, y'all! (Apologies to Sydney Deane for the paraphrase.) Thought I'd pop in and say hi since it's been a while.

Bethlehem is up 37-19 in the 4th quarter. They've been in control most of the way.

District championship. Bardstown is cruising along, having a big shots on goal advantage over Bethlehem and a 2-0 lead, just under 3 minutes to play. And in the final 2:44, there are four more goals scored to send it to OT. Bethlehem draws fouls and hits two PKs to tie at 1:30. Bardstown scores on a header off a FK with :37 left to go back ahead. Bethlehem kicks off deep, gets behind Bardstown defense, and striker finishes to tie it at :22. A minute into the 2nd overtime, the same two girls who put Bardstown up with 37 seconds left finished the game in roughly the same way, but this time a header off a CK to stop the clock. Craziest game I've ever seen, in any sport.

Nothing new that's concrete. Of course, there are lots of rumors since NC is a gossipy place. FBI is pretty tight-lipped.

This did not actually happen — Nick was not led out in handcuffs. Nick and Brooks were at two different locations so one could not watch this happen to the other, either. Both were questioned extensively by agents at their homes. No arrests were actually made. Feds searched Nick and Brooks' respective homes for several hours, and they spent more than three days at the family farm searching. IRS agents loaded up a whole van full of boxes and filing cabinets full of documents.

Just been working on the photos as they come in from our people out at the various scenes, and updating our story online as new info comes in. There hasn't really been anything new for a few hours. It's been a wild day. https://www.kystandard.com/content/fbi-takes-over-rogers-investigation

Been a busy day here in Bardstown today.

I really wish I could be optimistic about it, but I'm a realist. Like Everett says to Coach Dale: "I just ain't seeing it."

If we get football, Bethlehem will be missing a significant senior class that made big contributions on both sides of the ball, and will be breaking in a new QB. They will be young but there's some young talent too.

I don't think that's totally how it works. Bardstown's school district lies within Nelson County and TNHS districts. An incoming freshman living within the Bardstown district and also within TNHS district could choose TNHS if they wanted.

Ryan Young is the new Nelson Co. HS boys' coach.

I was told that as well, but I heard yesterday that he had pulled out.

I have not heard that the girls' job is open.

Wouldn't it automatically kick it up to federal court with a hate crimes charge? Which means, if convicted, it's federal prison and not state prison.

It could be done, but it would require extreme schedule limitations with certain sports (and meets) only done on certain days to allow athletes an opportunity to play more than one sport, and to keep from over-stressing the available official pool. Not sure how that would work for the softball coach who also heads up the boys' soccer program — a lot of coaches don different hats depending on the time of the year.

Actually, Bardstown gained enrollment from the split. If you look back, that's right around the time Bardstown got too big for All A Classic participation. They got a good enrollment bump from parents who didn't want their kids to get caught up in the split and be forced to go to TNHS.

Fun series. Good work.

Can't really disagree with any of this. It's gotten more extreme since the Louisville area doesn't produce the number of All-Americans as it used to from 1990 and prior.

Seems like we need a rally for ESPN to re-air it or make it available for streaming. Run it on SEC Network. It was really good and I think I only ever saw it once.

There's a really good Oasis album I would recommend you all check out during this down time which actually also answers the OP question: "Definitely Maybe."

Good luck with that one.

We can add Bath Co. and Eminence to this list.

Pretty outstanding game. Score was tied at 59 apiece a little more than two minutes into the 4th off of J.J. Traynor's three. But the Tigers came up empty with no points for nearly 4 minutes and couldn't rally back after falling behind by 6. E'town hit 8-of-11 FTs over the final 4 minutes to hold off a late Bardstown charge.

Five different Bardstown players scored in the OT period, with J.J. Traynor getting 5 of his game-high 30 in the extra period. He was money all game.
