Lincoln football will be okay if the injury bug does not continue to bite us. Chase Marcum needs to get healthy. We need to be able to pass more, but believe that we can turn things in the right direction. One thought, did the loss of Clevenger hurt more than losing Braxton and Trent? Inexperience in some key positions make the learning curve harder (and the loss of two burners who could score from anywhere on the field).
Ryan Young could be a big time receiver. Have to get him the ball, and the line has to give Levi the time to throw. Keeton should ease the pressure and with the height of Ryan and Keeton could make things hard on short DB's. Lets hope so.
One issue that I hope gets brought up here is how does Lincoln (one of the largest schools in the area/region) get to a point where we have trouble competing with schools much smaller? Aside from last year when have we been able to dominate in football/basketball/baseball? Dont give me that "we are so rural" crap either. To fix our high school we need to look much earlier. Need coaches that understand the game (and have played at a higher level than they are coaching). High school coaches getting involved in LL football last year should be a big help. Need to see more of this, and need it in all sports. Parents are ruining LL, and the high school will continue to suffer. Why do teams practice when our HS baseball coach is having a clinic to help the kids? Do these LL coaches know more than our HS coaches? (NO, but they are LL legends).
As for Saturday, Lincoln may struggle with speed of Bardstown (see what they did to Nelson Co.). But if the Pats can contain and tackle could be a good victory and help confidence for coming weeks.

I could not agree more with these thoughts and comments. The little league programs are horrible. Coaching, planning, funding etc.
A prime example is the amount of time it is taking to get the new park usable. (Where are they playing LL football this year?)
Sports are like everything else, they are built from the ground up.
My brother coaches a team. He does a d*mn good job.
Quit dogging the Little League programs, and do something about it. How many of you are coaching or helping out Little League? Volunteer sometime you bunch of losers.
I do volunteer lots of time, but am tired of banging my head against the wall. Apparently the worst thing for LL in Lincoln is to have played at a higher level than others.
I help out and volunteer as much time as anybody, and I'll whip anybody who wants to argue. Because I care about the kids, not hanging a Little League championship banner in my garage. And I am brave enough to leave my name after my comments you "anonymous" pansies.
