It blows my mind that this program is in the shape it is in. Back in the day, when Sam Simpson was coach, Henry Clay had some really good teams, though the program began to fade toward the end of his tenure. What is the problem with programs like Henry Clay, Tates Creek, Lafayette, and PLD? They may have brief moments of success, but it doesn't last long.

I have always been fascinated by the fact that Lexington has had so many bad teams over the years. It looks like with the population, that they could field comparative teams every year. ? I remember reading an article in the Lexington Herald Leader back in the late 80's or early 90's discussing how Lexington football as a whole was weak. It stated that most teens in the city just had no interest in football. It stated that they would rather work at a fast food joint as play football.
