1. Dale Mueller hosted an online chat at Cincinnati.com today – part of a series this week featuring local high school football coaches at the powerhouse schools around the area. Â Here are a few of the points discussed during the chat:
- He expects more guys from this team to give Division IÂ commitments
- Discussed the tough schedule this year including Boyle Co, Elder at the Pit, and Ryle
- Addressed questions about recruiting players
- More or less indicated that Simon Kenton will not play Highlands. Â In response to a question about whey Highlands hasn’t played Simon Kenton said, ‘we’ll play anyone that says yes’
- The game against Dixie on September 1st will be on Fox Sports
2. The US Census released demographic data today for Kentucky towns and cities. Â There is an absolute treasure trove of information in this data that I plan to do a post on in the coming week. Â I’ll give you a slight teaser – despite the median age going up slightly the age group of 35 – 54 increased by 4% of the total population while those in their 70’s decreased by 1.1% of the total population. Â That is a percentage of the total population not a percentage increase.
3. Highlands Drama Department received 9 Cappies nominations – 7 of which were for their recent production of Chicago. Â For more information about the Cappies program see my previous post from last year’s nominations.
