[b]2024 Outlook:[/b]

Douglass looks to continue to be as it has for its first 7 seasons as a school and a football program and that is to be in the hunt for a state championship. The Broncos are 78-14 in their young history.

Douglass will once again play a very tough schedule to help prepare them for the very difficult 6A post season. They are taking on Bowling Green to open the season in the Rafferty Bowl at WKU and as of now they will be once again playing 6A 2023 champion and preseason #1 Trinity at Douglass as well as home games with Corbin, Bryan Station and on the road to Boyle Co.  and Tates Creek. The remaining games for the schedule is not completed at this time. The is talks to start a regular season series as well with Male. The Broncos along with Coach McPeek and the staff at Douglass will be working hard and looking to make it back to Kroger Field in early December for the 4th time in what will be their 8th season as a program.

Jerod & Jacob Smith will be playing in the Under Armor All-America game January 3rd @ 4:00pm EST on ESPN. They will be playing at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, FL. this game is hand picked top 100+ graduating players from all over the nation. I think it is great to have some KY HS football player representation in this game. Congratulations to these young men!

It was officially announced yesterday afternoon that John Hines will be the next head coach at South Laurel High School. A bigtime hire for S. Laurel.

John Hines has resigned to take the South Laurel job. There should be some interest in this job.

Rumors everywhere that Pulaski County coach, Johnny Hines is expected to be the new head coach at South Laurel

I know we lost quite a bit on both sides of the ball, but I think we have enough coming back to compete for 2nd in district again, led by Noah Kilburn, probably the best receiver in the district or at least top 3 and   If the Breathitt transfer Johnson can handle the QB spot and Hurley at running back, we have a shot!!

What will the Rockets look like in 2024. With big shoes to fill after losing Warren, Moore, and Larkey. But return great athletes in Jackson, Powell and Sargent. There is Rumors of some kids from Pulaski and berea transferring to rock.
