As you can see or hear, Mercer is an after thought. They are not even in the same discussion. And to say shut down their football program. Who? Lex cath trashed you twice last season, Boyle Co did the same, except the playoff fluke. Mercer was good last season but can they bring back the same success this coming season? :dontthink

First of all, I don't know why you would say they "trashed you." I am not affiliated with Mercer County in any way. That said, I am an area football fan that goes to as many games as I can. I saw both games Boyle & Mercer played and would say that Mercer acquitted itself well in both. I don't think the playoff game was nearly as close as the score indicated - so no it didn't seem like a fluke to me.

That said, you guys are right that they haven't won a district title yet... I was just thinking that they seem in a pretty good position to challenge the "powers that be." They beat Boyle already, and LexCath will be going through a coaching change. Seems like as good a time as any.

I have followed KY HS football for decades and can tell you that Pardue is the best playcaller around, for my money -- I would never count him out.
