All, I sent the following message to our Basketball Coaches and AD's this morning: "There comes a time in every career when it's time to retire. Most of you know broadcasting games started out as a way to give the kids at Gallatin County some additional exposure since the Post wouldn't. Most of you also know that I work at St. Elizabeth during the day. As we found with Covid, I find myself working from home most of the week. This does not allow me much time to obtain new sponsors, get out to do game prep, etc. So that being said, after 17 years, I have decided to retire from broadcasting. I can't thank you all enough for all of the friendships we have made over all of these years. Everyone of you hold a special place in my heart. It's hard to step away, but it's time. Thank you all for your support, your friendship and your help over all of these years. We could not do this without you. Who knows, I may pop in from time to time to see you all. You are a huge part of my life." This also goes to BGP. A lot of spirited debate on numerous topics and enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you all for YOUR support of what we did. I appreciate everyone's input. For now, c-ya Buttels

We did broadcast a game in Taylor Mill last year against Bellevue. Their team was made up of primarily soccer players. In talking to their coach, who has since left, they just wanted to have a team, but as Mustang said, things went downhill quickly and they stopped playing. Totally agree with the boys side of things, great development of the program, but also that a decision needs to be made on keeping it or not at all. If they did shut it down, would they need to close down a boys program for Title IX reasons?

Glad to hear Coach Wright has returned. -
Per the Trimble County Facebook page, Coach J. P. Dale is stepping down as Head Coach.

No inside info, but either Blake or Meredith Hartfiel to step up for the varsity gig.

Today is opening day at Lemker Field. I will be out there this afternoon as part of St. Elizabeth's effort to wrap up the landscaping, painting, etc needed. I'll have pictures of the dedication and how it looks.

Oldest High School Gyms still standing in Kentucky
buttels replied to brooksville's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
"The Roy" at Henry County will celebrate it's 60th year next year as the host of the 8th Region Boys Tournament. The Roy L. Winchester Gymnasium has been updated in the past few years with new scoreboards (Used to have the big square one in the middle of the gym above half court), a new floor was put in about 2 years ago. One of the best atmosphere's for high school basketball, especially at tournament time. -
Saw a post from Coach Hannah Devine that she is stepping away from the program after 5 years. We wish her the best.

After winning just 1 game in 2017, the Trimble County football team for the most part disbanded. Students wanting to play football were allowed to transfer without penalty and a few moved to Carroll County. In 20-21, according to the Trimble County Facebook page, they will be fielding a varsity team. The KHSAA Team Alignment page does not have them listed in the last district they played in, Class 2A District 5, so we'll wait to see if the are placed back with Walton-Verona, Owen County, Gallatin County, Shawnee & Carroll County. We're glad to see the program back on it's feet!!!

buttels replied to piratenation's topic in KY Football (High School)
Just curious, why interim? First coaching job? -
Jason Holland is the new coach at South Warren
buttels replied to FlyPattern's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
Very happy for Jason. We had talked during the 8th Region tournament that he was returning to coaching, but was waiting for the right opportunity. He's heading to Bowling Green!! Congrats Coach. -
Saw yesterday that Coach Mefford has stepped down as the head coach of the Lady Wildcats. Also looking for a freshman coach. Who steps in??

K'Suan Casey signs with UT Martin
buttels replied to silo11's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
One would think that with Holmes grad and alum Ricardo Johnson running (Director of Operations) UT Martin, there may be a pipeline between here and West Tennessee developing. Time will tell. -
20/21 32nd District predictions
buttels replied to StevnASmith's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
Walton was so young this year. Felt they made good strides in the season. Would agree, runner-up a toss-up. Grant losing Dawalt, Epperson and Vickers is 43ppg out of 70 per game average. Robinson is the lone junior, so younger kids getting to play next year. Simon loses about 39 ppg, with Niece, Miller and Walker coming back with significant minutes. Williamstown loses McGee, Widener and Henson, which works out to about 10ppg collectively. Also year 2 under Coach Cheeseman which won more games than they lost at the end of the year starting around the 2nd week in February. Could be interesting.
