I see where Salem and Brian Glesing lost 35-7 to North Harrison this past Friday. Leaving Floyd Central hasn’t been a successful move yet.

I actually watched highlights of that game because I’m always pulling for th HHC teams in non conference. Shrake from Martinsville reminds me a lot of our RB Mitch Bernardi.

I can definitely see that. I think FC having home games against Seymour, BNL, and Jennings County is a big advantage. But as always, that trip to East is worrisome. Honestly, the way this conference is, we could beat Seymour and then go up to Jeffersonville the next week and get beat. That kind of stuff happens all the time around here.

Floyd Centrals Freshman team beat St Xs Freshman team 34-20. That seems rather significant. St X had 80 freshman. Floyd Centrals Middle School teams have been dominant the past few years. This team blewout every team they played last season.

I have no idea how good South Dearborn is, but Jennings County scoring 41 points seems significant.

I didn’t get my picks in on time. I’ll try to do better next week. I did however make the trip to Louisville St Xavier. I tell you what. St X is a legit football experience. They run their show like a championship football program. Just so impressed seeing their facilities, their organization, their huge stadium, the people tailgating. I mean it’s a big deal in Louisville. Way more impressive than what I’ve seen over at Male. St X was the dominant force I figured they’d be. But I came away pretty damn encouraged by what Floyd Central did over there. They could’ve easily made this game a lot closer. They were able to run the ball pretty effectively against a pretty stout defense. Their O-Line is pretty big and having Bernardi back is a godsend. He showed off his speed and power several times including a couple long kick returns. Way too many drops by their WRs on some pretty well schemed passing plays. A couple of turnovers inside the 20. Some pretty bad punts that gave St X great field position. All in all, I think FC can play a whole lot better than they did tonight and if they do they’re going to win a lot of games.

Louisville St X is ranked #1 in 6A in the coaches poll.

I’ll do it this year

Well they have some good skill guys. They should be a pretty good team this season.

Do you think Loudon will throw the ball more or will they run more of an Spread option attack?

Is there anything better than Pizza and Beer? Besides football?

I watched Floyd Central vs Charlestown. It’s always so hard to tell from these scrimmages because nobody really gameplans for each other. But if I were just throwing something at the wall, I’d say that our offense looked substantially better than it has been the past few seasons and defensively we have some things to work out with run defense. We have 4 starters back on the OL and it showed. They pretty much mowed down Charlestown and Robertson had all day to throw the ball. He threw some beautiful passes. Everything was right on the money. His go to guy Kaiser is 6”4 and has a lot of speed. He’s one of our basketball studs. They missed Bernardi last season but he looked like a machine running the ball against a 3A team. I thought we did well and had a lot of guys sitting out because of practice eligibility.

Saw the Floyd Central-Charlestown scrimmage. Both teams look like they’ll have a good season.

He said on the radio that he thinks there are 5 teams in the conference that are loaded. I’m not sure what his definition of that is? He also said he has the best freshman class that he’s had in years, and I’ll point out that they lost the Clark/Floyd Championship last year to Highland Hills(Floyd Central Feeder.)

Pretty good quote from coach Bragg in the Tribune today about the HHC. “I think it’s awesome because every week — week-in and week-out — in the HHC, somebody could win. Everybody’s improved. Everybody has good coaching staffs. We’re younger coaching staffs and sometimes they get overlooked. But every single one of our coaches in our conference makes adjustments at halftime, makes adjustments during the game and keeps you thinking during the week, and that’s huge. I don’t know who’s going to win the conference. Of course we want to win it, but every week we’ve got to show up. You can’t take anybody lightly in this conference because they could always come back to haunt you.”

Absolutely. You are always here. I appreciate your football candor. Hopefully East will get something figured out.

Blair Thompson is no longer the Head Coach. He’s an Asst at Floyd Central now. Former Floyd Central, Jeffersonville, Clarksville, Paoli, and some other schools HC Brian Glesing is now the HC. Where’s my East fans at? You guys have been quiet all summer. What’s East looking like? Is this a bounce back season?

What does that have to do with anything? We play a team next week that has over double our talent.

I’d like to have Owen Valley on our schedule. We used to play them in Sectional games back in my heyday. I like that program.

Floyd Central scrimmages a solid Charlestown team. I will take a lot more from that scrimmage than I will the following week when we play the #1 ranked team in Kentucky. Ridiculous. We drop Male and end up playing an even better team.

Yeah that’s kind of what I figured. That’s what makes scheduling so hard.

BNL/Brownstown would be a good series. Fairly close to each other.

Pretty good schedules if you ask me. I’m happy with FCs Non-Con. St X will blow us out, and everyone knows I hate playing those kinds of teams, but THS and Silver Creek will be competitive games and they’re both at Home.

I liked coach Glesing. My cousins played for him. Really good coach when he was at FC. I wanted him to stay but I guess he felt he needed a change. A lot of parents complained that he wouldn’t pass enough and there were some other things. I hope he does well at Salem because he’s a pretty good guy.
