Open Job: Nelson County
Just to update, Coach Thomas' mother is in bad shape health-wise. He said in the KyStandard in Bardstown that he needed to move back that way to help care for her, as he's an only child.

Open Job: Hopkinsville
The mother of his child lives in Springfield, so yeah, that's probably the case. She said it was a big hassle when he was at Casey Co. So with that in mind, look for Maze's next move to be within the 5th Region.

Grilling and smoking thread
My buddy did a couple whole chickens today. Used seasoning salt, Boone's BBQ rub and some pepper and it came out great. Smoked about 3hrs indirect.

Replacing an iPhone screen
Thanks for the info, folks!

Open Job: Nelson County
Solid but not spectacular record against a very difficult schedule for a team coming off a state tourney trip but losing 4 starters, even if the one returnee is a Miss Basketball candidate. Given all that and adjusting to the third coach in 7 months, it's pretty impressive that they had E'town on the ropes like they did in the region SFs before letting it get away in OT.

Not totally sure what's going on here. Working on digging something up.

Replacing an iPhone screen
I busted the screen on my iPhone 6 a week and change ago. (Took it out of the case to clean the screen and the case film, promptly dropped it on the darned sidewalk.) What's it cost to replace one? I've heard some wild swings. I'm probably going to get a new phone and fix this busted one to pass on to my parents.

Who would win? CovCath or UConn Women's team
Let's be totally honest here for a minute. In HS boys, the average center in Ky is about 6-2. Many of those guys play above their height because of leaping ability, strength and/or ability to position themselves accordingly. How many women do you know who are 6-2 or above who are silky-smooth, athletically? Most girls that tall are slow and lumbering as hell. I played at the courts at WKU daily in my college days, and we regularly got games in Diddle where Sanderford would send his girls out with us guys to get them toughened up. The guards could usually hold their own offensively against guys who started or were key reserves in HS, but they got crushed defensively. In the post, it was a bloodbath. The girls were too slow and couldn't leap save for one or two bruisers, but for a 19yo guy, some of them were pretty hot and I might cut them a break when they boxed out particularly well. WKU was making Final Four trips then.

What New Music Are You Listening To?
It's not new by any stretch of the imagination, but I am amazed at how many people I have introduced this artist to who have never heard of her, and that is a crime by commercial radio. Brandi Carlisle. Go check her out. She has a new album coming out and it's great. But this is the song everyone should start with, because it's epic (and I don't use that word ever), and brilliant and beautiful, and in my top 10 all-time ever for greatest songs.

5th Region 2018-19
You're soft-selling Bardstown. They will be in the mix next season and it wouldn't shock me to see them win the region. But I guess they'll be a no-name team, with no players worthy of note. Probably how Boo likes it.

Covington Catholic/Fern Creek (Sweet 16 Quarterfinals) Updates
Very good actor, and has Ky ties, but Charles Napier died in 2011.

Open Job: Bethlehem
There are a lot of intriguing names either just getting out or have already gotten out of public school jobs who may not be totally ready to retire their whistle yet.

I'd rather not at this point, but think HOFers.

There are some interesting names circulating around this job, to say the least.

Open Job: Nelson County
The Nelson County opening has been filled. Dirk Strunk, who most recently was a head coach in Alabama and has 16 years as an HC, will be the new NCHS coach. He was at the school today meeting with administrators, teachers and students.

Fouls To Give
Um, yeah. I'll give McCurry the benefit of the doubt because kids don't always follow instructions.

I recall that game well. It was kind of when Trinity arrived as a big-time player in hoops.

Pikeville/John Hardin (Sweet 16-Round 1) Updates
I don't know if John can survive not having Pearson. I feel like he finds a way to get one of those rebounds PV kept getting the final minute.

To force the 2nd OT? WFTM guy said he shot 49% on the season coming in. Hits 3 FTs to force a second OT. Wow.
