  1. I said the same thing to dad yesterday. He never seemed right and I caught that sentence. Physically or mentally something isn't right.
  2. Party at my 70 year old dads house. Seriously his bday is next week and this will make his day. Don't know how many times I worried he'd have a heart attack over Dusty. With the total lack of heart I was hoping. With his contract extension a little surprised. Never been a fan.
  3. The Reds losing was awful. What's even worse was my 9 yr old daughter asking me why all the runners just jog to the bases every time. The Reds played with no heart and no sense of urgency. Looks to me like they need to become more mentally tough which is done through off season program. Cueto dropped the ball out of his glove he was so shook. When you can't score runs you have to generate them. This is a huge reason I've never liked Baker. Hamilton puts the most pressure on the base paths since Vince Coleman yet he never sniffs the field. Reds need to ditch Baker and add a righty to batting lineup.
  4. Job change. Helping at LC this year but keep in touch w Midland. On the road a lot w work rt now. Give me a yell if you're at Belfry game.
  5. I once talked to the youngest coach in 5A Texas. He made 6 figures. He said his pay was small compared to others. He said some schools the head football coach only coaches and the principal has to call before he can come into his building. I love watching schools like Southlake Carrol a couple of years ago. Actually watching one on Fox Sports right now.
  6. Enjoy the journey. I've won state championships I've gone winless in a season. Things are easy when things are going great but your character is built when times are tough. If you learn to be mentally tough and persevere in these tough times you will be prepared for life to dig in and fight when life says give up. You will never get the chance to strap it up with the guys you grew up with again. If you are doing things the right way then you can take pride that you are building the foundation that kids in your community won't have to make the sacrifices you made. We went from 0-11 to 12-1 at Lawrence Co in one season. It is because of the sacrifice and work ethic that was built in that 0-11 season. Do things right and like Coach B said win each play. Enjoy the journey. Win or lose you never get to strap it up again. While it might be tough you are preparing for life and paving the way for the next generation.
  7. I forget can you trade before season in this league?
  8. Cool. If you ever come across it let me know. Our film was bad that game.
  9. Wow that it awesome! Lost 21-18 to Mayfield in Final4 in 91. Never seen that game. Will now! Ironically we lost regional championship the next year to Pburg coached by Bill Letton. Couldn't stand him because I lost last game to him. Fast forward to 2005 we were eating Thanksgiving dinner together before shutting Highlands out. Went on to win state. He then won it as a head coach. I think that speaks volumes to what a great career Coach Letton has had. He is a fine man too! Can tell you from playing the "touchdown twins" Dwayne Garza and Seth Hyden that the were arguably the best tandem I ever played against.
  10. They played well. Won 56-14. Offense has a chance to be really good. Very solid QB/scheme. Defense has long ways to go. Kicking game is awful. Schedule will progressively get tougher so I'm cautiously optimistic. My little boys team is 2-0. Coaching a bunch of 6-7 year olds. It's so funny. They won 42-16 vs a good Huntington team today.
  11. Thanks guys. Felt good to be pacing the sidelines at home again. That one was for Coach Cecil who lost his mom this Summer. 15 years coaching it's been an honor to watch him grow into the best off the field leader of young men I've been around. Very emotional pregame and the kids rallied around him. Coach Short and Caudill deserve a lot of praise. They've put together a solid offense. QB AJ Cyrus is the best option QB mentally since the 90's. Should have a huge year! Long season. 1 game. Hungry and humble.
  12. Sorry bout that had a game last night. Took Amendola and R Matthews but not showing up for some reason. Stinks missed VJax.
  13. Lawrence Co Paintsville Lewis Co Maggofin Co Morgan Co
  14. When we went from 0-11 to 12-1 at Lawrence Co we were able to two platoon almost playing only 2 kids both ways. Lost in state championship in WV last year w same system. Had about 4 ACL tears on def. best dlineman in state broke his leg in state championship+MLB tore his ACL. We were forced to play best athletes both ways. It hurt us. We weren't as good on D that game and our tailback who went to Costal Carolina didn't have that extra burst in title game from playing both ways. Back at Lawrence Co this year. Only a couple of kids playing both ways. Anxious to see how it goes.
  15. Had a coach I respect a lot that has coached against every elite team in ky and some good ones out of state. He said Ensworth is the best program he's ever coached against. Hope the Rocks represent KY! Did I read that right Ensworth only has 40 players but 10 D1? How's that happen? I know people always joke on BGP about Trinity having apartments for players etc. Ensworth really does I think. Apartments right on their campus.
  16. Dang soooo close to drafting him w last pick. I like it! Congrats on another baby on the way btw! Crazy how fast life is. Can remember when we both posted pics of our 1st kid born on here!
  17. We can have a backup on our roster w 2 starters right? Like a handcuff.
