What about that new kicker?? jk (my boy). Couple of nice returns of kicks that WH probably thought were non-returnable. #10 ran free in the secondary and#22 found him. Run defense was much better than last year.

Yates would be great too. I would hope that he would want to stick around for a while. They really need some consistency. 03 Norman 05 Mefford 06 Byers 07 Allen 09 Wise 11 ???

That should be water under the bridge.

Wow, really? The only conversation that may have occurred remotely resembling that was "don't go raid the middle school program of its players. Work with the middle school coach to decide when to pull people up and who had earned the the chance to play with the high school."

They need to go get Nick Barton. Frankfort High Grad. Lives in the community. Won't see it as a stepping stone to something else. Never gave up on the program. Ran a great summer program one year, but was passed over when hiring time came. He would do all of the right things. Question is whether or not he wants it after all that water that ran under the bride.

I just love seeing Centre College and eastern Ky boys making it in the big city, under the bright lights. Centre has turned out some mighty fine coaches. I don't know about Corbin . . .wasn't Mike a runnin' redhound?

There was just recently a thread on the Frankfort situation from 05. Deron does a nice job, he was in a very tough situation in Frankfort - not healthy for a lot of people.

jordan Queen is playing baseball at Murray. Isn't Murray Div. 1 in baseball?

You must not know Roni. He went to KSU and played football there, at a high level. He now works in Frankfort, Coaches some AAU basketball, has a family. I have watched his son who is in middle school with mine. He is an outstanding young man, very personable, friendly, and of good character. So I would say that Roni is making good on his life after school. But I guess it was worth it for you to try to get a dig in.

Chris Current anyone?? EJ Fields anyone?? Quan Weaver anyone?? David Evans?? Jerry Calhoun?? Derrick Graham?? Kenny Smith?? Tommy Johnson?? Jessie Wilder - Girls Cross Country - Ran at PURDUE Marie Perry - Cross Country - 5 time state champ team, Courtney Graham - Girls Basketball, track Tara Arnold - WKU This is mostly since the 90s.

Jordan Samuels is great with those kids and will do a good. He has a much better temperament than his high school coach had . . .:lol: 6th and 7th grade has some really talented players. Norman should be a solid presence there along with Jeremy Howard (SSS teacher) who will be helping him. This will be an interesting year to say the least.

You know the football team has been in the state semi-finals and state-quarter finals the last two years, they have a two or three year streak going against Danville, they are dominating their district and Western Hills. The ONLY teams they haven't been beating lately are Franklin County in the regular season, and Beechwood in the playoffs, so I would say they are WINNING and have established a pretty strong PROGRAM in football. As for basketball there are really only a couple of issues. Chalk left on his own, Norman was hired at a bad time in the district, and the last two either chose not to get involved in the community or were unable to find jobs in the district. When you are a class A school it is important for the coach to be a part of the school community. Living out out of town AND not teaching in the district make it impossible. If you are doing one of those only, you might be able to make it but you can't if you are doing both. The 1th region is very unforgiving for small schools. The KHSAA did FHS a disservice by not moving them to the 8th when they did the redistricting.

Chuck was looking at Tillman too??? Is there serious interest there, or just a passing fancy.

A team wins on the road, having replaced the entire offensive line and the first back-up on the line, an athlete (QB) playing at UK this year, two corners and free safety, its starting receivers, and most of the starting defensive line and people come on here and say "with all of the athletes they have, they are undisciplined" and that the offensive line coach has to do a better job, and "come back Aklin". Holy Cow - do you assume in h.s. that you can recruit position players and should have replacements that are at least as good as the players who left? Do you know that Frankfort had a whopping 28 players to come out this year and that there was not even a middle school football team last year? Do you also know that Foley and Buckett and Caoch Rob are not going to play people who don't come to practice and do the things they ask. You want them to put people on the field that you believe are good athletes and they may have excelled for the "Bengals" but how good are they coming to work everyday and becoming a part of the team and making the grades, etc. This staff does a great job with the kids they have (fewer than 300 in the h.s.) and facilities they have and the money the district has. None or those things are a fault of anyone, but they all must be taken into consideration when noting the accomplishments of this coaching staff and the players over the last 6 years. I hope they are around for a long time and continue to do the work they are doing.

You need to delete this post. It is, at the very least, an implied personal attack. I don't care what you may have heard but unless you have personal experiences with him then you need to have better sources. He cares about the kids on his football team and about the kids at FHS. I watch him with his daughter and I am impressed by how he treats her, with love and encouragement and I sit by him in Sunday School nearly every Sunday. It is easy to sit behind a keyboard and smear an individual - but you should not do it to this good man. Sheeesh. If/when he leaves, it will be a grave loss to this community.
