Fkfootball Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 5 hours ago, Frozen Tundra said: Honestly, we’re just spoiled. If we don’t look like a top four team in our class, if we can’t beat Columbus North, or if we don’t win our conference games by 28+ points each then we get frustrated. I’ll admit those last two Markell Jones years really had me spoiled. If we weren’t beating HHC teams by 42 points or more then I thought there was something wrong with us. Lol I have a lot of respect for East. To go from 4A to 6A without it being an enrollment change, is pretty impressive. Regardless of how things go, Gaddis is one of the All-Time Greats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d assume there’d be some sort of drop-off after losing a coaching legend. If they are really down, then Floyd should have a good chance of winning a Regional, assuming they win their sectional which obviously isn’t a given.

Normally, I’d give a summary for the reasons why I’m picking these teams but this is the least I’ve known about any of the teams heading into the season. Well it looks like we were way off. New Albany surprised us. Madison was oh-so-close but let us down. I figured East could go either way and Seymour doesn't completely surprise me but I thought they'd pull it off. Oh well. Now we know better going forward what teams look like. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Paoli is a good 2A program coached by Brian Glesing and Madison lost by 1. I feel Madison can beat the teams in the HHC not named East, FC, and NA.

No clue but Glesing isn’t coaching anywhere this year. Hopefully he just wants to take time off or retire on his own accord. I hope cancer or some other illness isn’t affecting him again.

The talent level at East is down and honestly the future looks to be even a bit more difficult. Even if East moves back to 5A next year they won’t achieve prior success for the foreseeable future.

He definitely has my respect for that and for the overall job he did at FC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus North has 1000 more kids so more athletes and talent to choose from. Also take a kid like Preston Terrell leaves Jennings County to go to Columbus North. Why, JC cannot win consistently because not enough depth of talent and athletes. Then he moves to Brownsburg where they have a D1 quarterback in a big time program and ultimately commits to Purdue. Always the same athlete and talent but wasn’t going to win in Jennings County. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fkfootball Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Floyd Central was awful in basketball for like 15 years and hired Todd Sturgeon and now they have a top 10 program in the state. They had a decent football program under Brian Glesing but I think they’re going to another level under coach Bragg and his staff. Coaching matters as long as the kids will listen to it. We have good kids at FC. They have good kids in Columbus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
