That's my guess too

I think I was guessed above and that was wrong... Randy Borchers by the way.

Heard a rumor that the Newport/Ludlow scrimmage for tonight (Friday) was postponed because of the heat.

Anyone know if that is true?

Let me in on it.....

someone PM me...

Thanks...

Can't wait until Monday. Supposed to be announced then, if everything goes right.

It is Tuesday, any word?

Big Red,

 

Public disclosure is the nature of the beast when you are talking tax dollars and I think it is a necessary evil.

Explain please... necessary to keep things on the up and up in regard to spending, budget, etc. (I agree) or necessary that we publish list of applicants for jobs (I disagree). I have never seen a list of applicants yet for a 9th grade social studies job. I am sure with the overwhelming amount of history/social studies teachers, each of those jobs get a lot of applicants as well.

It is a shame this list is printed by the newspaper. These guys are trying to get a different job for what ever reasons. Many time it might be more money, or they are just not happy, or it might be a bigger school, or a school they think they can win more, or maybe they just like change and need a change.

This is not major college or the NFL. These guys are just looking at a new job. How many people everyday apply for new jobs in the business world. It is not listed in the paper.

Sure, I agree, some of this come with the job. But that does not make it right. Fifty three or so of those guys will not get the job and might continue coaching were they are and it will be hard on some of them.

I love fans who criticize their coach and the minute he applies for another job want to talk about loyalty!

Maybe, but Emmitt is a better dancer.:dancingpa

Could'nt agree with you more, but when the coaching staff of the top team in N. Ky misses the meeting and the nominating it does'nt help the end result.

 

Congrats to the award winners

Even if they were there, they would only get two at the most. Look... like stated above, this is how it works. There are 18 schools in NKY that play football. Each school gets one spot in the TOP 24. It is up to the coach who he puts in that spot. That leaves 6 more spots, each coach can then nominate one more player, of those players nominated for the last 6 spots, the coaches vote and the top 6 are added to the team. Thus making the TOP 24. Since each school get one spot, I would think the spot for the team that was not there was left vacant. The coach was notified he had one spot and placed his player on the list before it was released to the media.

The players of the year are nominated by the coaches for each level (I, II, III). Then the coaches, and only the coaches in that level, vote or come to a decision. If a team is not represented, then they cannot nominate anyone for that award.

Before you guys go flying off the handle about how the coaches do not know what they are doing, how about asking how the team is selected. It does not matter if a team goes 15-0, or beats every team in NKY, or wins the mythical National Championship, they are at best going to get 2 players on the TOP 24 and EVERYONE is going to get one!! :irked:

The All-State is selected by the coaches in this manner. Everyone can nominate a player or players for consideration. Thus if a coach is not there to nominate, his player(s) won't be on the list produced by the coaches association. The coaches vote and the top ten names are sent to voting members for consideration. It does not mean a player could not still be on the All-State team if his personal coach sends out information to the voters that would help his chances.

Pendleton finishes the season with a loss in Ohio to Taylor. Not a bad season for the Wildcats with a new head coach. Taylor get its first win tonight for a former Kentucky coach.

The Wildcats had a pretty good year and the future looks bright.

That is great... it was tough to watch a game from a lawn chair on the thirty!!

Maybe he can be the spark that Bracken needs. New coach, new year. Good luck Polar Bears.

What did he do last year? What year is he? I am always interested in learning about up and coming players, but I do not recall the name from last year.

I root for all NKY and Louisville teams since I am living right now about half way between. I like to follow the underdogs though.

I think York led NKY last year or at least was near the top. I understand he is a good baseball player as well.

How have the Panthers looked at the passing stuff this summer? What kind of season do the fans look for?

Pendleton County is looking for a head coach. What is the story? Anyone?

A 17-2 run to end the half? What happened?

We certainly won't take any of "your players" from the CCo system (unless they would voluntarily choose to come play at BB) but would try to keep our own kids (St. Mary and St.Joe, St. Philip, Sts. Peter and Paul) in our own program and not lose them to CCo or NCC.

 

While CCo and NCC have enjoyed a long and successful history of having players from our feeders play in their programs, the kids are actually Brossart's and not CCo's or NCC's - right?

Does St. Mary, St. Joe, St. Philip, Sts. Peter and Paul have football teams or do the kids play in the Red Devil or NCC youth programs?

Aaaah, the voice of reason. As a taxpayer, if CCHS has facilities that can be used by Brossart and CCHS refuses to do so, I will be very upset if for no other reason (and there are other reasons) that every student that attends a private school is one less student that the taxpayers have to pay for. Accordingly, I believe that the public schools should cooperate with the private schools whenever possible. If facilities are available, rent them at at a very reasonable rate to the private schools. Furthermore, if the CC school district's recent claim that they will face a rapid expansion of students in the near future that will cause major problems with space (as justification for the tax levy) is accurate and I truly believe it is, the Super should be thrilled to death that Brossart is alive and well and taking some additional pressure off of his school district. Its also good politics for the CC school district. I'm sure that they will be trying again to pass the school levy. Ticking off the catholics in the school district is, frankly, stupid. I would have to think the logic of the catholics would be: pound sand CC school district, we'll vote no to the tax levy and when it fails by a close vote that we influenced, we'll take the money that would have otherwise went to the increased taxes and give it to Brossart.

 

And for the last and in my opinion best reason why the CC school district should work with Brossart: its just the right and nice thing to do.

Here's an idea... Build your own field. There is no reason CC should try to "help out" a team that will try to take its players.

By the way, from what I have read Brossart says they want to raise $40,000 to start football. I would think it would cost about $400 per kid just to suit them up. What about money for coaches, practice equipment, footballs, additional training supplies, extra helmets and equipment, etc. I think 40,000 is not going to be near enough to "do it right".

Did anyone go to the meet the coach night at Bracken County High School tonight?

I called my Uncle who was supposed to go and he was not feeling well. Just wondered how many people were there and what the reaction was. I have heard nothing but good things about the new coach. I hope they can get the program going. There are some in the county who really want football to do well.

Both teams are planning on starting football this fall. Brossart will start on the JV level and some claims have them playing vasity by the 2007 season. Walton will start with a middle school team this year and move up with each class. At that rate, they will play varsity in about 2009.

Which team do you think will have success on the varsity level first and why? The that will take on varsity compitetion earlier or the one who is building to Friday nights?

Are both jobs still open in Northern Kentucky Single A. Since Beechwood will have a new coach also that means 3 of the 7 teams will have new coaches. Just wondered if there was any movement on the jobs since it seems like they are been open for a while.

There is a posting on the OHSAA website for a football coach at Bracken County. Did not see it on the KHSAA website though. Does anyone have any details? Is the job open?

Nice article...

However they will be stopped tomorrow night.
