Closer than I expected. Details ?

Why were so many players out?

Shelby gets outscored 28-0 in 2nd quarter due to 3 TO's

Collins is real deal. I said they could be final 4, I know say they can be final 1

Shebly is not good this year. This score really doesn't tell us anything new about Collins.

Robinson is very good. Hills is not, a lot of these numbers are against really bad teams. Catholic is a decent team but never plays defense.

Onside it....

Franklin was close to double digit turnovers. Long drive home for them. Holleran kid is an athlete, colleges need to pick this kid up 6'3 220 fastest kid I seen tonight.

FC Turnover machine.

Go Flyers! Congrats coach James.

I would like to adopt Texas rules, which are the NCAA rules, returns from endzone, cut blocking, etc..

I think Shelby is far better coached than John Hardin. Talent level would go to John Hardin. Shelby will win in a close game. I think the passing game of Shelby is the difference the QB throws strikes off of the play action and motion fakes.

That may have been the Freshman game was 6 minute quarters and that is the conference rules. JV is supposed to be 8 but the home team decides on that. So it would have been Boyle Counties calls. As far as new players....the answer is

No actually we played more kids in the last game vs. Boyle since it was a home game. So was no new players and actually less players made the trip.

Win is a Win! Keep fighting young Flyers. Defense or no defense Spencer goes down.

What's the word from both camps? Is everyone healthy and ready to go? Seen FC having some long evenings this week. Had quite a few in ice.

I think jury is still out on the flyers, Shelby Valley wasn't much competition. This team for FC is very young as well, and has itself 7-8 new starters on each side of the ball, and two new coordinators and a new interim head coach. But they did play hard and enthusiastic football I am told!

I hope who ever it is that comes in; just doesn't mess up this season! Kids have worked hard this off season harder than I have seen in the last few years I have been around. Coach Randy Holleran and Ledford have ran the strength program and its been a total change in attitude and team work. A lot of that is just the kids that are within the program right now. Not the most talented bunch but good kids.

Any Reports from spring yesterday?

Coach Shane Smith is back on staff I hear?

Qb spot is open for the taking. The two that will most likely be in the Running are Senior Dalton Landrum,or Jeremiah Green Junior. Both are fast and strong. Seeing them on social media they are both strong kids from lifting numbers and both can run. I am curious as well to see who wins out.

Flyers will be thin in the top two classes, seniors and Junior classes have some great players and character but thin in numbers, team will need to be in shape and tough. I follow them on social media and by the looks of it kids who I considered tiny last year are 30 lbs. bigger. So hopefully that transfers to the field.

FC did melt down, had several lineman who were injured by week two of the district and a senior class who seemed to get worse as the year went on. QB play was subpar, and play calling suffered at times. FC returns some nice players, but have a ton of question marks. FCHS has new coordinators in all three phases. Will have a new qb, and several new skills guys. In the off season this team has really went after it I went up and watched my boy run the other night and they had some nice young kids who have shot up.

Maybe little Spencer and Franklin can have a change vs. the Shelby County teams.

Folks picking the two Shelby County teams, FC beat the number one team last year, and Spencer beat FCHS, and Collins.

Maybe little Spencer and Franklin can have a change vs. the Shelby County teams.

Billy will be missed good solid football coach.

I don't know if its a bad hire or not I am hoping he does really great. But this process was interesting for sure.

He didn't "hire himself".

Yes, he has coached football before, I think he was on the staff before and early in the previous (Fowler) coach's tenure...I think he has coached everything at Owen Co other than baseball

Biggest problem at Owen Co isn't the coaching acumen at the high school level, it's getting numbers back up and getting a strong feeder program. That requires someone who can garner commitment from the community, something that hasn't always been the case in Owenton. That could be the reason why the would-be Rocknes, Bellichecks, and Sabans from the top HS programs that apparently were interested might have backed off. It's not an easy job, small rural schools rarely are.

Backed off? Did they withdraw names, turned down job?
