Districts need to go. In the past it worked fairly well but the gap between programs has only gotten larger over the years. Let programs play who they want. Think of the programs at are forced to play teams way above what they are as a program. Those programs go out and play like programs. They have fairly successful years record wise and miss the playoffs. They think they got shafted but not hey still feel good about their experience. If they do earn the playoffs it means more. The KHSAA needs to stop forcing teams to play that should not be on the field together.

How do you he didn’t practice all week? Was he in street clothes all week or did they just cut reps? Kids a SR who probably won’t play past HS. When I coached this part of the year we would cut reps to help develop guys for the playoffs and for the next season. I had a RB that we did as little as possible during the week with him so he was healthy Friday night. Kid ended up being the first 1k rusher in school history and the all time leading rusher for the school. It was 22 carries not 40. When did they take him out of the game? Who do they play next? Have they had a bye yet?

Have they played Boone or Conner? I'm talking about Scott?

Year two district Coach of the year. Lost to beechwood in OT. Lost to Cov Cath on close to the last play of the game. 3rd in district behind HHS and Cooper and clocked Woodford. Year three 3rd in the district and lose to Woodford. Year four second in the district so home playoff game. Lose to Collins in a crazy game. Over the past four years a schedule that has Beechwood, Cooper, Ryle, Highlands and Badin. During that time Ryle and Cooper have had a crazy run of talent and most of those teams have had deep playoff runs. Past maybe losing to SK and one year to Conner (that Conner team gave Scott Co issues in the playoffs) what games are they losing they should be winning? I had a friend coach at Dixie before Coach Burke took over so I've been following them for some years. Past that I have no dog really in the fight. I see this with a number of programs where statements are made and I wonder how much people from the outside really know about a program. You see it all over high school sports in general. Unless one actively is involved or follows a team most don't know what's going on be it injuries, having to play young players, over schedule, school issues and list goes on.

What changes?

So who is the acting HC?

What time?

The whole by law thing appears to be piece mealed together. They went through a changed a part here and there over time but I don’t think they every truly looked at how one change affects parts of the by law. To me that’s why it feels like we have so much contradictions and confusion. There are other parts that logistically don’t work. An example is attendance. I understand why they say you can’t take it and at the same time if some thing happens and a coach gets asked if Johnny was with him there isn’t any record. Coaches a responsible for supervision by their districts. Saying “I don’t know if he was there” isn’t an answer a district is going to want to hear. I don’t even feel the term “organized” is ever clearly defined. If you can lift, run and work on skills how can any of that happen without organization? If they point to the USA Football levels of contact then it appears you can do Level 0 which is plays on air. Any one that pulls guards in their offense has had both guards pull and run into each other like the Keystone Cops. A QB and RB run into each other during an exchange. A WR go up to make some type of catch and come down and hit his head.

Doesn’t your coaching pay count toward your yearly average when it comes to retirement?

Was he there 3 or 4 years. He got let go after the ‘21 season. On paper he had successful seasons. He just couldn’t get over the Walton hump. I’m not saying you’re wrong. I just don’t know if he was there long enough to make that decision. Win lose wise didn’t drop off when he took over. He is the HC at Western Hills but I don’t know if he has a teaching job there.

Franklin had success at Carroll but his tenure there ended in a strange way. He has bounced around since then and maybe has had difficult times getting teaching jobs where he coaches.

This right here would solve a number of issues. As far as playing for a district title goes teams would basically form their own “leagues” or “conferences”. There are a number of states (Ohio being one) that do this.

Who all did the lose? Who do they have returning?

Took some searching but yes and he graduated the same year as Rice. So his SR results were the same.

Ok that’s one player. Going back through the KHSAA scoreboard his SR year past Highlands and Ryle they played everyone close. Won their first round playoff game by beating WoCo.
