Etown has 20+ SRs that make up a 35% of their team. They will step back next season but will come out of Region 1 this year to play Boyle on Thanksgiving and host the game. Could be interesting.

They’ll take a step back; for how long is TBD. They took a step back in 16 for the first few games of the year from losing 20 something seniors from their ‘15 team that got beat bye LexCath in the 3A semis also.

Their younger groups are loaded. They have a junior (or maybe sophomore class) who are made up of a lot of kids that would start for many out there (especially skill wise).

The current freshman class they say might be the best yet to come of the last few years. They have the potential. Great numbers and they were MS State Champs in their division as 8th graders.

Their 8th graders this year won the regular season conference title; a conference that is made of feeder schools for 6A Meade County, 6A Central Hardin, 6A North Hardin, 4A John Hardin and LaRue County.

E-town is going nowhere. It’s a first class independent school system in a booming county (Hardin) of well over 100K people and growing by the day. It’s the “who’s who” of the area.

They have a new facility that’s by far the nicest on I-65 between Louisville and Bowling Green, and they just so happened to go out and get this Hall of fame (or at least in the future) coach to lead the program.

I’m not saying they are going to turn into a Bowling Green b/c that would be a slap in the face to BG and all they have accomplished, but there are a lot of similarities in E-town & BG (the growing town, the commitment to being the best in all they do, independent school district- yes I know; that doesn’t mean Private). Very similar towns (both still growing; E-town on a little smaller scale but nonetheless) and the similarities of the school systems.
