I'm with you. :thumb:

I agree with you on the state testing. All schools around the state are going through the same thing....they are driven by CATS Assessment. What used to be a April test has now gone to a year long test. In the high school, the Seniors begin testing in September (on demand) then the 10th grade students take the PLAN (Pre-ACT) in November. (Somewhere between the November and March test, the seniors also take the Skills Standards Test)Then in March, the 11th grade students take the ACT....but we're not finished yet. In April, the 12th grade must turn in their senior portfolios, which is an all time favorite of mine.... what takes up most of their senior year of English. After all this, the big test... Last of April - first of May for the 10th and 11th grade. (10th takes Reading and Practical Living and the 11th takes Math, Science, Social Studies and Humanities). Why can't the state see that this much testing takes up instructional time. If they would just go to one national test, like CTBS or the ACT tests (Explore, Plan and ACT), it would make alot of sense.... but know our governor has already stated, without even considering the good or the bad, that he will veto the new recommendations for accountability testing. Wow what a great public education system we have.

I dreamed of being a truck driver.... and if you knew me now, you would know how ridiculous that sounds.

Evidentally I need to get out more. I only got 9 out of 16.

I think the Cards have the momentium going in the right direction right now and I think they want this win. So I am going to predict the Cards will win a close one in overtime. (Louisville 81 Georgetown 78).

I had never been to senior day at Freedom Hall until yesterday and it was awesome. The tribute they did for the 3 seniors was very moving. I believe it was one of the best times I have experienced in Freedom Hall and I'm definitely glad that I was fortunate enough to get tickets.

Evidentally I did too!!!:scared:

Boo Professor!!! You know you really loved Bull!!!

I could probably guess who the ref was!!!

Sounds like a good game. All three of the girls games were close throughout. Congratulations to the Lady Pirates and Coach Jones.

Not much of a suprise. Congrats to the Bulldogs!!!

Great point!!!!:thumb:

I wouldn't want to draw them. As The Professor said, they could possibly meet again.

Yea you're making us all curious. Don't keep us in suspense!!!

This is terrible news. Prayers go out to Kyle and his family. As kysportsfan said, he probably would be dead if he hadn't decided to fight back. Please keep us updated!!!

It was an exciting and close game from the beginning. All of the Lady Owls, except 2, have been fighting the flu and other viruses and didn't feel very good. You could see it in their faces while they were on the floor, but I feel that they gave it all they had and it just wasn't enought on this particular night. The Lady Owls has had their roughest season in many years, with lots of turmoil. They were finally getting back on the right track, but just a little too late. Congratulations to the Lady Owls. You all are still winners to me. Thanks for a memoriable season, you kept on fighting and never gave up when the going got tough.:thumb: Congratulations to the Lady Neer's of Estill and good luck tomorrow night.

WTG Cards!!!

After loosing to LCC three times this season (@ LCC 38-46, @ 21-58 and at Jenkins 27-60, Jenkins pulls out a 53rd district win. Jenkins led all the game and hit key free throws when they were needed. LCC had a chance to tie, but failed. Congrats to the Lady Cavaliers.

Carly Smithson and Brooke White are my favorites out of the females. Right now, I think Carly has proved herself every time she has hit the stage and Brooke has faltered somewhat, so Carly would be my favorite.

Your list looks good to me. :ylsuper:

Small school, smaller community, limited pool of business sponsors!!!

Not been doing anything at Owsley, with the weather we're having, except weightlifting.

That score was not much of a suprise!!!
