You need better talent than Auburn.

East by two touchdowns. It is hard to out coach East.

Very well could be a coach's rule. There are no KHSAA rules on JV, but most coaches have their own rules on who plays JV or not. It could be a rule on your team.

Good 1A teams do not beat good 5A teams once in a blue moon. To win three in a row means Raceland is a great 1A team or Ashland is a very poor 5A team. 1A and 5A are apples and oranges. They should not even be on the same field much less in a competitive game..

You are reading it all wrong. Why would I tell her should could not play a sport that she wanted to play.Parental control was not the point. Softball is where she got her free college. She would have liked to play softball in the summer and basketball in the winter. You keep thinking its the parents and the coaches who want the down time. A kid should be allowed to play all the sports in there season and not have to play three at the same time. You should not be required to play basketball and volleyball all summer just so you can play in the winter when it is in season.

My daughter and son played three sports through high school. They loved playing and wanted to play but there were many days in the summer when my daughter went to volleyball conditioning in the morning played two or three basketball games in the afternoon and went to softball practice that evening. The weekends were then 4-8 softball games depending on how well you played. The softball was travel ball and nothing to do with the dead period but I do not think another two weeks of dead period would have destroyed the volleyball or basketball season. We now have kids playing more games in the summer with their high school team than they do in season. Extend the dead period.

As a coach I am happy with the dates of the dead period. I can tell you right now when the dead period is ten years from now. When I meet with my freshmen parents the first time, I tell them when the dead period is. I too would like to see it changed to four weeks. I would love for kids to have some summer time to lay at the pool, but as a coach if the competition is working we need to be working harder. Dead period ends the July 9th but fall sports like volleyball and soccer cannot practice until the 15th. They can continue conditioning but no practice. This is much like football and helmets.

East is going to "The System". I met some of their coaches this week at a conference. I wasn't that impressed with the head coach but they have a young def line coach that is really sharp.

The rule may or may not be be stupid. But, it was put in by the schools themselves and the commissioner was hired to enforce them. In most cases it is hard to prove someone picked a school for athletic reasons. In this case the guilty parties confessed before they were even tried.

When has Boyd won it?

Greenup 11 Russell 1 Greenup 13 East 2 They already played and it wasn't any closer.

Russell 15-0 in 5, devils are looking strong.
