Now there is that "roll" I was talking about... I knew they went back to back and were runner up two more years during that time frame... Great tradition- I am jealous that I didn't grow up in Ft. Mitchell, on that fine golf course of homes !!! lol

Take a poll- see what comes to "minds" when you mention Class A Football in KY... No disrespect to Mayfield- They have great tradition and success... Beechwood will always be a top favorite regardless of their record -vs- Mayfield's.

"LCA is good and well coached- but at this point I don't see them being elite. Everyone thinks LCA is in a easy district-so with that being said, what is their winning record out of their district?" Can anyone answer this from an earlier post today?

How many were back to back? I am thinking of the roll Beechwood was on back in the 90's (mid 90's) I am recalling from my old memory...

Last I checked it was in NKY

Beechwood was just having a "off season" that year. There will be others to step up in the public system to replace The NCCs and Danvilles, etc... LCA is good and well coached- but at this point I don't see them being elite. Everyone thinks LCA is in a easy district-so with that being said, what is their winning record out of their district? Beechwood by far, IMO, has the best Class A, (continuous) Tradition. Danville too but now are no longer in Class A...

1. NCC 2. Danville 3. Bardstown 4. Corbin

1. Mayfield 2. Beechwood 3. Frankfort 4. LHCross 5. Pikeville 6. Raceland 7. Paris 8. LCA 9. Somerset 10. Hazard

That is all that I know of ? Unless they needed to hire more teachers?

Well so far I have heard nothing but "Good" things about the new Paris Coach- Matt Thompson... I heard that the kids are connecting well with him... and that he demands a lot. Hummm... I think I might have said earllier this year; "Paris needed someone to light a fire under their rearends"... sounds like maybe just maybe, site base and principal may have caught wind of all the talk on BGPs?

Right now I am hearing around 35 are showing up.

I don't know of the name of the Off. Coord. I was told though he was or is an asst/intern at UK... Don't quote me on all that- but that is what I was told. I know none of that as fact. I don't know anything else on new staff. I am trying to find out. I can only think of one of the asst. from last year that they should keep, The guy that walked on at Miss St. (i think that is where he went, let me know if not ??) One of the other assts. I read is taking place as AD the next school year. Sounds like he preping to be the next Boys basketball coach, when the other retires.

I talked to a school associate- and he said that the new coach had them really fired up, just at their first meeting... I hear he has a lot of good ideas and wants to gets things done...

So far I am hearing around town (this weekend) that the kids really like their new coach.

I hear the team gets to meet their new coach today... anybody know anymore about that?:thumb:

Is this the guy that demanded no football players march at halftime?

What position(s) did he play? What is his record at the other schools? Was he a Head Coach or an asst. coach?

I can't wait to learn more about him!

I hear they are down to three- and that a decision should be made by this week's end. So that should be today or tomorrow.

Did you get your info. off of sparqtraining.com?

sorry I was referring to the Cleveland Combine- which is run by same people. It usually takes a couple of weeks to get the results. They typically will send you an email telling you the results are posted. You went to the one that was this past weekend?

The results are posted at sparqtraining.com yes from what I heard it was very disorganized. It had been scheduled several times, and then ended up being at Oberlin College. I talked to one kid that ended running the 40 three times, due to clock problems.

I never said they would be the best to grace the field at Paris HS. I said they are being underestimated- I pointed out that this senior team is very athletic- and I think there are some tough hard hitters on this team. I also pointed out that their were 3 juniors to two of 15 seniors that made All-District. I predicted that two of those All-district players will work hard to be good leaders this year for their team- not abandon it or run from it, but stick in there and give it all they got. I disagree that you say their are no great football players... (i see statements like that ultra negative and almost like you can't give much of anybody any credit) I have seen several step to play when "the other so they say folded"... I think there is talent (and as well as with the graduating class) that no one over there knew how to tap into that talent. I have pointed out with a good coach and with motivation things could get moving in the right direction. I said in another thread (Bold Predictions) they need someone that can light a fire under their rearends... With the right coaching staff coming into place with all assistants that really know about football and coaching- things can start to change this year! Trust me there are kids over there; girls teams/guys teams that don't appreciate the negative talk when they work their humps off to play hard. Ever hear of Myspace???? The Paris program didn't drop over-night or within the last three seasons. I doubt Paris will ever see the talent at one time like they saw in 80-82. Paris is too small and that much talent can't happen at one time that often. What they had 80 kids dressed? Now days they only graduate 40 kids per class. What if one of those classes is majority girls or majority baseball/basketball players- or just not athletic inclined? You work with what you got and make the best of what you got. Bumpy roads? Yeah I can see that- but I believe Site Base is working really hard to make sure the bumpy ride smoothes out soon. Yes I will agree with you that the Administration has got to support the program- as well as the community... I am with you on that. But it all has to start somewhere and with someone(s). Only type of support I can give is to be positive- since I am not a player, teacher or administrator, this is the only way I can help . A supporter would say to themselves if they really cared, "so how am I helping?" If you are a Paris supporter, like a few others on here say, then you would find ways to speak up positive to help. Cutting it down to the bone on here is not helping.
