KHSAA meeting: 6th & 7th Region realignment; possibly whole state
I don't prefer changing the regions much because schools develop loyalties and rivalries. But eventually the 10th Region needs to go north or south. The distance from Montgomery County to Campbell County is almost 2 hours. That really doesn't make sense and the schools have little in common.

Augusta 60 Nicholas County 48 (10th Region Class A)
Again, I am very proud of Augusta. They all love their school and have created a quality school system that serves their citizens well. Few people likely realize that Augusta is a public system and the high school has less than 100 students, usually about 90. Congratulations!

Open Job: Scott
I would think Joe Wynn would apply. When he took the Mason County job, it was reported that he and his family were looking forward to moving to the area but for some reason it never happened. Mason County is a good job with lots of support but an hour drive each way on the AA would have to get pretty old, especially with young children at home.

Best Gyms in the State
Agree, as much as I hate to admit.

Best Gyms in the State
In my opinion George Rogers Clark's is the best high school gym in the state, as are their other sports facilities, just ask GRC fans. Their football facilities are even better, seriously. I know that Marshall County's gym is excellent as well. But its hard to beat the Mason County Fieldhouse for atmosphere in the 10th region tournament and sometimes during the season for a big game.

George Rogers Clark 83 Harrison County 50
Isn't Harrison's best player out for a while?

Blake and Cayden Reed have transferred to Mason County
As I've said before, the Reeds have lived in the same house for many years within a stones throw of Mason County High School. With all of the other transfers going on all over the state for all kinds of ridiculous reasons, it just doesn't make any sense to me that they would have to appeal going to their home high school. I've been told on here that's not how the KHSAA transfer rules work but I still say its unreasonable. All of the Mason County fans I've talked to are happy to have Blake and Cayden home.

Covington Catholic at Mason County Predictions/Updates
Mason lost a lot Seniors from last year's strong team and also moved up in class. But, Coach Wynn has our young team progressing nicely. The first loss to Russell is explainable since a valued and loved player on the team lost his life in a car accident a just a few weeks before, which was very hard on the team and community. I don't understand the Boyd County loss. We are looking forward to hosting Cov Cath for the first time with their great tradition and reputation. Not likely to win, but I believe Mason will show up strong. For dinner, I would recommend DeShas, Tumbleweed, Mi Camino Real, or Pasquales, all are excellent in their own way and close to the field.

Paris 33 Montgomery County 6
One can’t ignore the obvious: a very small 1A school pretty much killed a largish 5A school which spends a ton of money on sports. Big props to Paris!
-
Mason County 49 Fleming County 21
Great rivalry, super atmosphere and basically packed. Mason is starting to recover from their tragic preseason in which a valued player lost his life in a car accident.

Paris 22 Hazard 6
I know no specifics about Paris but I’m pretty sure Paris’ head coach is a star. I’m so happy for Paris! They are one of the smaller schools in class A and have struggled in most recent years.

Blake and Cayden Reed have transferred to Mason County
That would be 100% ridiculous. They’ve lived in Mason County for years and only went to Bracken because their Dad coached there. As bad as Khsaa is, this cannot be true.

Fredrick Douglass at Trinity Predictions/Updates (Postponed to 2pm on 8/26)
I recall that the proposal was to call FD the stallions, but that kind of doesn’t work well for female teams. So they let the school vote.

New Harrison County Gym
I have always liked Harrison's Gym. Years ago it hosted the 10th Region Tournament most years.

School Logos: Best and Knock-Offs
Didn't play football that I know of but one of my favs: Silver Grove Big Trains and it so fit their community.

2023 Pikeville Panthers
I thought Harlan was also in their District?

Blake and Cayden Reed have transferred to Mason County
How are Mason County's summer games going and how are the Reed brothers doing?

Open Job: Bracken County
I honestly hope they will be Royals! I think Mason County will benefit them and they us. I know the Reeds have lived almost a baseball throw from Mason County High School for years.

Open Job: Mercer County
Doesn't each district get to pick every 4 years? that's the way it is in the 10th and is why it normally rotates 2 out of 4 years. Its also why the 10th's northern KY district held it at Holmes last year, which is crazy in my book.

Open Job: Mercer County
All very nice but gym doesn't look large enough to me for a normal regional.

Open Job: Pendleton County
I'm pretty surprised at this bc I know Pendleton as a county is growing with its location in between Campbell and Harrison. I think I may have heard that they had a surprising increase in students in around 2015. On the other hand, Mason has not been known as a growing county but our high school increased by about 100 students in the past 5 years (putting us in the same 4A FB district as CovCath, yay for us).
-
Open Job: Pendleton County
Unfortunately I don’t think this is considered an attractive job for lots of reasons, mostly history. But Pendleton is a growing county, close to the big cities. In the 10th region, And has tremendous fan support.
-
Tournament attendance
The attendance was mostly good. It helps it that they sell the cheering sections twice each session. Woodford helped a lot. I felt like every school repped pretty well. They said the Thursday night session had 14,700 or so but I'm not sure where they were.

Open Job: Nicholas County
Heard that too. I hope so. We need more high powered coaches in the 10th lol.

Warren Central 64 George Rogers Clark 60 (KHSAA Boys' Sweet 16® Championship)
Congrats to WC, they are a great team with an outstanding coach. I am not a GRC fan but the tournament set up was totally unfair to GRC. They literally got to the locker room at 3:30 today and had to be on the court for the finals at 6:30. Are you serious? That is totally wrong!
