Great Crossing 46 Scott County 15
#1
Final. What a way to get your first win over your in-county rival and even more rewarding for Great Crossing is they will always have the memory of winning the first game ever played at the new Scott County stadium.

Is Scott Co down this year? They have struggled their first two games.
#3
Unreal.
#4
All that preseason hype for Scott Co. What in the wide world of sports is going on?

Congratulations to the Warhawks!!
#5
Dang..
#6
It seems that the athletes decided to go to GC rather then stay at Scott and run the ball every play

No one predicted this.
Biggest win in program history?
Can this turn the tide for GC in the talent battle ?

McKee is a great coach, but you have to evolve with the game. Great Crossing has been mediocre at best at football over the last 4 years, if Scott County wants to be the football school in Georgetown and a presence in 5/6a again, they have to provide a system that the athletes in town want to play in. The Wing T isn't what kids are watching on TV on Saturday and Sunday.

And….what you see on Saturday and Sunday are systems that programs run when their athletes are being educated free and recruited or paid and drafted to run.  Saturday and Sunday doesn’t always translate to Friday night.

Yea you either ducked or I missed, either way it went over your head. The point is, the vast majority of high school athletes do not find the Wing T attractive. Obviously some schools are limited due to the type of athletes that make up their school, but I think we can all agree Georgetown isn't short on athletes.  I think you can also see that from Friday night.  At a time when Scott County has seemingly given basketball and baseball to Great Crossing, the results from Friday night were eye opening and if you caught the game it was solely because Great Crossing had better athletes than Scott County. Take it how you want, but if you polled the athletes at GC I'd bet my left hand that a lot of them would tell you they didn't want to play in the Wing T and that his how they ended up at GC to play football. All this not to mention the college recruiting aspect.

I didn’t duck. Your punch was wildly thrown with no accuracy.

So, you are saying GC is cheating by getting “athletes” districted for Scott Co. This is due to them running a more “modern” attack; not wing-t. KHSAA should take a look at that. No wait- now I’m throwing stupid punches! LOL

Huh?

Mckee has been at Scott Co. for 28 years and has run Wing T for 28 years.  Great Crossing has had a football program for 6 and the town was districted for athletics just a year or two ago. I'm not sure if you're arguing that McKee runs the Wing T because that's what he has athletes for or that Great Crossing is better now because the town was districted in their favor, either way I do agree that both are indeed stupid punches!! It works the same as any town, if a kids lives in Scott County school district and in 9th grade decides they want to go to school at Great Crossing they can without athletic penalty.  Great Crossing runs a more "modern" attack because Bowling understands that is the only way to separate from the Scott County tradition.

It's no different than Belfry/Pikeville, and I stand by the argument that unless the 14-18 yr old is a big fan of Army, Navy or Airforce football teams, their favorite players play in a pro or spread style offense, and that's a big deal for them.

I’m not saying any of that; I think you did.

I just said…. Saturday and Sunday doesn’t always translate to Friday night. If you are set up to only coach; have all your football kids in a weightlifting/film class; have kids willing to work at it year round; always know you will have multiple reliable athletes at QB with a high IQ and arm talent….YES- run some kind of “sexy” offense.

If you are teaching real classes; not recruiting; sharing athletes across multiple sports; playing with the ups and downs of talented classes and/or lack thereof- (like most KY high schools) run a system that isn’t reliant on superb talent. I guess that is my point spelled out real specific.

I don’t have a dog in the fight. And I haven’t thrown a “serious” punch in over 25 years.LOL

The only thing “remotely” stupid that I have said here was to imply that the KHSAA would investigate anything!! Keep up BRUH!!
#14
No kids want to play in the Wing T anymore. Great crossing is going to beat Scott County from here on out.
#15
That may be true! Now that Scott Co. kids have a choice. But if we be honest…. How many kids that play HS football in this state are going to make a living at it or even get their college paid for from a football scholarship? I may be too old to understand….but for me as a player- WINNING was sexy!! I didn’t care if we had ran the running wedge every play if my team had more points than yours at the final horn. And ole McKee…well he has racked up a few wins.
#16
I heard that this game got pretty wild towards the end with some players getting ejected, is this true?

Make a living? Very few.  Free College? More than you think and in Scott County that number is probably higher than a lot of other places in Kentucky. Say there are 30 kids in Scott County that have the ability to play football in college and 25 decided to go to Great Crossing because they offered positions and schemes that colleges have and use.  Over time who is going to have the better football team? McKee is a great coach, but part of being a great coach is having great players.
