Are both teams at full strength, or are there key injuries?

I thought this was a "family-friendly" site!

Unfortunately, that doesn't matter. Since it occurred after their 1st contact date (July 30 for Aug 11th student's first day) it counts as a scrimmage thus leaving them no more. This happened to Covington Catholic a few years back. Any more scrimmages this year would be illegal and result in penalties.

So Whitley Co. has already used their 1 scrimmage?

So when was the Washington Co. scrimmage?

I'm surprised Bell High used their only allowable scrimmage so early. Since they play on August 21 (Week 0) they are only allowed 1. It will be difficult to go the next 3-4 weeks against each other with no more scrimmages. I'm sure the coach knows what he's doing though.

Troy has been looking for a gig in SE Kentucky. It could very well be him. This would be a coup for South Laurel.

I've never eaten wings at Johnson's, Guyn's, or Cosby's, but that Hooters place doesn't serve a bad wing. BW 3's also serves up a pretty tasty one and has a pretty good variety of sauces. You all talk about playing 1, 2, or 3; I'd have to say Hooters is 1, BW 3's is 2, and either Zaxby's or Wing Zone would be 3.

I think that's because they actually play a schedule now that will make the kids better and advance the program rather than one that will guarantee the coach 25 wins.

What type of offensive and defensive style can we expect to see from Coach Wirth?

Top Jr's that come to mind: Stevie Joe Jackson, Jr. Bill Tom Johnson, Jr. Ricky Joe White, Jr. Joe Bob Tussey, Jr. Mike Auckenbals, Jr. Jesse's boy -- not named Jr. but a pretty good player

Lexington Catholic used that offense, or a similar version in 2006 against Franklin County in the second round of the playoffs. Came back from a 28 point deficit at halftime to win in overtime.

If memory serves...I think the rule change might have something to do with reporting to the field. I think that there was a lengthy delay in the start of that game due to each team waiting for the other to take the field first. Just a guess.

In his bench press, he repped 225, 18 times.

Boy, there sittin' on a gold mine down there on Log Mountain!

Any chance Jim McKee will look into his hometown job in Cynthiana?

He is still at Catholic, it will be his senior year.

Some kid named Novosel might get a look

Beer and Brats?

Most organizations haven't had time to label their Franchise Players at this point. Once done, players' agents will scour the market for those programs that still have salary cap room for free agent additions. That is provided the athlete clears the physical, Wunderlick Test, and can negotiate a contract that the Player's Association and League will approve based on collective bargaining contracts. Of course, most teams will also tap the waiver wire to fill immediate needs with fewer cap room issues and contract obligations.

I don't think that is the case, Shooter.

The one that holds your opponent to at least 1 less point than you score.

They should be more careful? Are you kidding me? We want lawyers, guns, and money, castration and the death penalty when it comes to certain schools, but we urge more jurisprudence with others? Give me a break!

They are--According to today's Herald-Leader they have told public schools to brace for a 7% reduction in state funds.

Are the kids paying for these? If they are being paid for by the school/boosters, the limit of such a gift is $300.00 according to KHSAA Bylaw 12. I'm all for giving the kids $10,000 rings if possible, but don't get yourselves in trouble. Congratulations on a wonderful accomplishment.
