We remember when Adrian Stringer was a record setting QB on Morton’s Gap. We spilt some ink on this dude, in the day. That is the thing about getting old; the guys you cover become the coaches you cover. Central had a difficult pill to swallow this weekend; but, overall, Stringer has done a nice job in his first season “back home.” What does the future hold for this program, for this bright, young, energetic head football coach with a college pedigree both playing and coaching? I suppose we shall see. All journeys start with a first step.

There are families indelibly associated with the KHSAA and either one or all of its member institutions. The name “Jaggers” is such a name. So is the name “Lampley.” Dennis Lampley served the students and athletes of Trinity High in Louisville, KY for nearly 50-years. Along the way, he had a hand in nine (9) titles, five (5) titles as HFC, 50-consecutive wins, and three (3) consecutive, undefeated, 4A football titles in a row. Lampley had an 87% win rate at Kentucky’s largest classification of competition (4A) in his day. Is this guy a HOFer? If Retief Goosen is in “golf,” then Lampley is in football. Enjoy the feature.
