way too soon? rumors of low numbers in mossy bottom? any details? scrappy lost contact with the reliable source. wish them well but seems to be same ol, dreamin of the good old days
#with this being asked i really couldnt blame a kid for leaving, brand new HS in county and a growing Raceland up the road. seems like an easy choice, same ol jfl with fairview off to another school once HS starts

[RAM-A-DEVIL]

Unfortunately the numbers are down. They were actually looking to be better this year but then the transfer portal opened up and Boyd benefited from it. I’ve heard from 22 all the way down to 9

It's pretty bad from what I hear. They cannot keep any athletes there for any sport.
How long have they been building that big baseball field? Will it ever be done? The gym looks like it came from a time warp from 1955. The football field is like playing in a landmine, holes all over the place! That administration has never cared about sports. If these schools realized that competitive sports programs = new admissions/$$, they would be in a lot better place.
Absolutely no reason to go there if you are a good athlete and care about sports. Cannot blame any of those kids for leaving.

wondering also about the NEW Athletic Complex. was to be done in phases and first one was really impressive. demolishing mostly of old fields and dugouts, new grass on FB field and starting of a new SB& BB field, since weather has gotten better after spring and school let out very little work if any has been done to complete? as far as 2025 Fb season goes maybe mr westwood mr bitw will stay sober enough to enlighten all of us of the comings and goings of mossy bottom. he will post on fb when they win a game or two but wont be heard of after any loss
Also any news of manning at QB/ or any of skill positions?

Manning departed for Boyd Co. Heard Everettes transferred to Greenup Co. last I heard Tevin (his last name escapes me) has been taking QB1 reps with Kaylor (I believe a Frosh) currently at the back up spot. As little as 9 and as many as 22 have been at practice is what I have been told. Also heard they got a few kids that had transferred in from Huntington. Not talking smack or trying to stir anything up. It’s just what I had heard. I was also told that the players that had transferred in did things the right way and were not blown up to be saviors of the season/program. But were supposed to be solid players and right now Fairview needs all the numbers they can get. As much hell as I have given Fairview folks in the past and as much as I still despise the football program. I’d rather there continue to be a program for me to despise lol. I don’t want any kids to go without the opportunity to play this game!

Also heard they had went to the Bone or Wing offense with the loss of Manning.

OUCH that hurts, its time to consider stopping the program till further notice. i mean its not far fetched its been done before in WW. i dont see any wins in the future with the schedule they have, even mcpeek at freddy d abandoned the ol Wing T offense, its an ancient form of football, and really need and O line for such an offense. until further notice i reckon, will be watching and posting when season starts.

Crappy Coo Coo has me down in the dumps. He don’t even wanna fight no more

Don’t stop the program. Just drop out of the district for a while and schedule games against teams you can either beat or are competitive against build back your numbers

I agree there RAD. It’s been done in the past and has been a good way to build a program or build it back up. One thing I am noticing with Fairview, is the fanbase seems to live and die on the success of the team. Raceland could go 0-10 for 3 consecutive years and we would still be thumping our chest and putting out lawn chairs on Wed and Thursday nights at Ram Stadium. IMO, that’s a reflection on the staff. Fairview needs to recruit their community to get behind the program. I saw where Roy had put together a camp with Jennings and another former NFL player. Those are the things he needs to do. It’s more than getting players out.

YES Football camp this sat JULY 26 at Fairview, NFL RB Chris CJ Jenning and Wyatt Milum OL have a youth camp, cost is $40 comes with T Shirt. Coach Roy is not the problem more like the school and teachers and admin. not gonna get into whos qualified and student test scores, but Alex is doing a fine job

Been an issue for years Scrappy. Honestly it’s why the McPeaks were able to do what they did. Adkins don’t seem to care. Good or bad. Seems like everyone is just drawing a paycheck.

[scrappy coco]

new rosters have hit the screen for 2025. fairview lists 21 players and only 3 being seniors.
Any scrimmage info for the eagles?
also no luck on finding everetts on any roster currently, formerly of fairview?

[ArmChairHC]

I was told Everetts was at GC. But he’s not on their roster.

[WestCoast]

I think a lot of those rosters are still being finalized. I just pulled up Fairview and it lists 28 kids

[GOREDDEVILS]

The daily independent says Fairview has 28. only 4 seniors.

[RAM-A-DEVIL]

The latest roster now has 30

[ArmChairHC]

Word on the street is Fairview looks improved upfront and at RB this year. It’s still going to be a process in building the program back up, but I’m glad to hear some positives coming out of the Westwood faithful.
