Good lord…when we play Paris this year with McPeek being there our boys will be competing with 25 year olds. The cheat McPeek back in class a football…..here we go again haha

I am not sure what that suff is about.  Can anyone tell me the basics?

Dane Damron is a good hire, good coach with lots of experience. McPeek also has a lot of experience, but has a serious history of rule breaking and shady tactics.

The Raceland posters on here are referring to when he was at Fairview in late 2000's/early 2010's and them doing a lot of recruitment/bringing in transfers, eventually landing them in trouble with the KHSAA. They ended up having to forfeit all of their 2012 games and some of 2013's.

Had not heard of any of this. Was this back when Fairview won the state championship?  Thanks.

Also it there any truth that they are bringing in a coach named Walt Love from out of Georgia?

I have no idea about any other coaches. And yes this was when Fairview went to the state finals in 2012 (they did not win). They later had to forfeit all their games that year.

Fairview never won the state championship. They reached the title game and lost big to Mayfield. If I am remembering correctly, the year they reached the finals was forfeited and much of the next season also.

Everyone from Raceland always talks about recruiting when their stealing their old coaches players from Russell next door lol but again Fairview only made a mistake enrolling a kid from alternative school with more credits than they knew further more that was it!!
Mcpeek is just a winner everywhere he goes he wins! He put together Fredrick Douglas program to where they won a State Championship I think in their 5th season. If I was you Raceland posters I would be more worried about not winning a State Championship when you could have now your not going to be able to get past Paris!! Lol

All sounds good, but we ain't in Kansas any more. They're going to have to go get kids from areas that kids don't traditionally leave from or from Lexington and Georgetown where everyone else in Central Kentucky looks for kids.

What McPeek and his nephew did at Fairview everyone is doing today to get the kids eligible, so his ability to get kids eligible isn't his value to this staff. Coach Rice and his staff were able to get kids to Paris because they coached them throughout PeeWee and Middle School, but Paris isn't a traditionally Transfer heavy school. I was told there were only 3-4 football players from the city of Paris that were on the team last year that stayed. Their 8th grade team was evidently all 7th graders ..... so just crunching numbers you are looking at needing 7 transfers just to field a team. Probably 15 to win a game or 2, and probably 25 to be competitive. I ain't saying its not possible, I'm saying its just very unlikely that they can win in the near future. Hopefully Damrod stays the course, because I'm thinking this is a 3-4 year process at the earliest.........

It’s not about very much at all you can look on KHSAA website a kid from alternative school was enrolled wrong bottom line that’s it! The rest of the Jealously rams just got their butts beat every year he was there couldn’t take getting smashed so they make up stuff !! I’ll give you a better thing to talk about how many scandals have Rams covered up lately it gets deep deep!!

Ohh look ….its the BGR tool

COMES at you like a 4.3 40... What is the bat signal for these fast arrivals???

[16fbfan]

Negativity and Whiny procrastination is not in Dane or McPeeks reputation. They will win and win quick. They’re not little league coaches they know how to win and on a high level.

I don’t know maybe same one you guys get from Russell recruiting their players

[OutlawJoseyWales]

Was told there were 40+ that met with the coach when he was introduced to kids !

Initial Meeting with new coach is the single biggest joke known in every school hallway.   Kids do anything to get out of class….

I’m sure Coach Damron knows he’s on a difficult path.  Limited numbers in the building….very weak feeder program at MS (again, limited numbers).    

On a positive note….Paris will always produce some athletic skill kids.  Even with the transfers…..those kids will be around.  But…Depth and  overall size has been the never ending issue over the past 25-30 years.   That’s not going to change.

The difference in Fairview and Paris situation with McPeak is when Nate took over at Fairview, he had a freshman class that was pretty solid and a feeder system that had some really good players already. Kids like Littlejohn, Brewer, Turner, McKnight, Lowe and several lineman were coming through the system that made Fairview a program that was already on the upswing. McPeak was able to go get some missing pieces in the King boys, his nephew and several other lineman that made them one of the big dogs. With what Paris has had the last few decades, isn’t nearly as good as what Fairview had the year McPeak took over. Paris can build themselves up, but like Outlaw said, it’s going to take some time and getting kids to leave places like LCA, Sayre, and Alex Cath is going to be tough. There’s way more options in that area compared to the areas surrounding Fairview.

These guys aint stayin in paris long!

The more I think about it the less I can really comprehend why the administration and Rice couldn’t get things on the same page. They bridged the gap on the scoreboard with Raceland from last year to this year. I honestly think they could have been pushing to win or at least seriously contend for district titles in the next couple years if they kept moving in the direction they were. I’ve said it before but the only thing they lacked was discipline and depth. They always have/had atheletes. This past year their line play was better. The pieces were there to keep building. From all classes 1-6A…there’s a reason that teams that are in it to win it every year have had the same coaches for a long time. Atleast 5+ years. It usually takes a coach coming in and seeing his first Frosh class through to establish their culture and work on building a feeder system. Most schools don’t give a coach enough time for that, or coaches get burned out before they can get to that point.

Basketball coach rules the school.

[ArmChairHC]

At 9-18 this year and in the same region as GRC and Campbell Co? Maybe I’m blind to past success but I can’t see why lol

[16fbfan]

Armchair, Lots wife turned into a pillar of salt looking back lol These guys can coach and have at the highest level. Great hire lucky to have them! And oh it gets better lol

[ArmChairHC]

I was referring to the statement of the basketball coach running the show

As for Damron and McPeak. They absolutely can coach.l, never said they couldn’t. They have ties to colleges and that aids in recruitment (kids getting recruited by colleges, not recruiting players to come to Paris). That in itself is a big selling point to a lot of families. And in response to “oh it gets better”…I hope it’s them changing that god awful Ren and Stimpy cartoon looking nightmare they have on their football field!
