ERLANGER — An educationdoes not begin in kindergar-ten.

According to KristineFrech, vice president of Sky-ward, research by economists,neuroscientists and educatorsproves that investments in thefirst five years – includinghigh-quality preschool experi-ences – result in long-termgains for students and pro-duce significant savings forgovernments and taxpayers.

In Northern Kentuckymore than 5,000 children enterkindergarten each year, Frechsaid. Unfortunately, only 53percent, or about 2,840, ofthose children are actuallyready.

“Northern Kentuckyshould support and invest inprograms that increase kin-dergarten readiness rates,”Frech said. “Increasing readi-ness rates would not only posi-tively impact the lives of thosechildren in need, it would alsohave a ripple effect on North-ern Kentucky’s future work-force and economy.”

Skyward wants 1,000more children‘kindergarten ready’

That’s why Skyward, the or-ganization formerly known asVision 2015 that is paving theway for Northern Kentucky’sstrategic plan, is behind an ef-fort to get all children ready tolearn and succeed in school,work and life.

The initiative is calledPre-K Works.

Pre-K Works is an indepen-dent, cross-sector initiativeco-convened by Skyward andUnited Way’s Success by Six toprovide universal access tohigh-quality preschool for allchildren ages 3 and 4.

The voluntary program hasthree primary areas of focus,Frech said:

» Increasing parentalchoice by providing tuitioncredits for every child, re-gardless of income, to attendhigh-quality preschool for upto two years before beginningkindergarten;

6 investing in quality bysupporting proven strategiesthat support childcare facili-ties with efforts to improve

their quality rating and moveup on the commonwealth’squality rating system;

» and offer additional men-toring experiences, learningsupports and home visiting forparents and caregivers ofyoung children.

“Our goal at Skyward is toensure that at least 1,000 morechildren are prepared andready for kindergarten by theyear 2020,” Frech said. “Donewell, Pre-K Works will be atransformational initiative.”

Erlanger-Elsmere pilotsPre-K Works for region

This school year, as Sky-ward and Success By Six pre-pare to launch Pre-K Works,they’ll test the initiative in Er-langer-Elsmere Schools.

Superintendent KathyBurkhardt considers it an hon-or the district was selected topilot the initiative.

“Investing in early child-hood is a smart, upfront in-vestment that supports our fu-ture workforce and regionaleconomy,” Burkhardt said.“High-quality early childhood

Increasing kindergarten readiness rates “would not only positively impact the lives of those children in need, itwould also have a ripple effect on Northern Kentucky’s future workforce and economy,” said Kristine Frech,vice president of Skyward.

“The foundation boardis excited to offer an op-portunity for a fun event,”foundation board presi-dent Emily Kirtley Hannasaid. “This gives folks achance to sample not onlygood local restaurants,but all that the library hasto offer. This is an impor-tant event because it sup-ports our library – thelearning center of ourcommunity.”

People are invited towatch a video and hearguest speakers about theschool’s past successesand future plans afterthe Aug. 21 footballgame, Rowe said.

Track, soccer, foot-ball and lacrosse teamswill all use the field,Rowe said.

Creating a new logoreplaces various otherlogos each differentsports team had includ-ing one featuring a bas-ketball net. The new C lo-go took the same crossused on the school’s offi-cial seal, Rowe said.

“The most importantpart that we wanted tomake sure that wasprominent was ourCatholic identity,” hesaid.

A trend for area highschools and middleschools, including High-lands Middle School inFort Thomas, is to createa school-wide logo andbrand, said Jill Franx-man, CovCath’s directorof business operationsand marketing.

“We’re going to sharea brand standards docu-ment, so just like Proc-ter & Gamble and Dis-

ney and Apple have longperfected if you will, andmany schools are head-ed in the same direc-tion,” Franxman said.

Up is the direction ofCovCath’s enrollmentwithin the last fiveyears, she said.

CovCath’s enrollmenthas increased 25 percentin five years from 485students to 610 studentsstarting classes Aug. 17,Franxman said.

FRIDAY NIGHTLIGHTSCOMING

Adding stadium lightsis a CovCath goal, Princi-pal Bob Rowe said.

“I think it’s importantfor our student athletesto be able to participateon Friday nights in frontof more people,” Rowesaid.

Having a 5:30 p.m.Aug. 21 throwbackfootball game is part ofa way of generatingexcitement for eventu-ally adding field light-ing, he said.

“There’s a reason whythe NFL is played onSunday, college isplayed on Saturday andhigh school is played onFriday, and we need tobe a part of that,” Rowesaid.

ing this goal will take amulti-tactic approach.That means providing ac-cess to high-quality earlylearning for all 3- and 4-year-olds, expanding thenumber of high-qualitychildcare providers in theregion, and increasing ca-pacity for best practicehome visitation pro-grams.

“We are partneringwith our local communitypartners, our cities, ourlocal early childcare pro-viders, United Way andSkyward to create a mod-el which may be utilizedacross the entire state,”the superintendent said.

“This model has thepower to create a greater,more prepared workforcefor our entire state. Exe-cution of this demonstra-tion site will allow us toidentify opportunities for

education can result in asmuch as a $7 return on in-vestment for every publicdollar invested in a child’seducation before age 5.”

Burkhardt said achiev-

sustainability and expan-sion of the demonstrationsite while working towardother tactics aligned withpreparing 1,000 or morechildren for kindergar-ten.”

The root of it all, Burk-hardt said, is partnershipwith district families.

Parents are ourchildren’s firstteachers

“We know that our par-ents are our children’sfirst teachers and we arestriving to engage parentsin children’s everydaylearning experiences andoffer a broad menu of re-sources and strategies toall families of young chil-dren. This includes stay-at-home parents as well asparents who choose tohave their children inchildcare.”

According to LeshiaLyman, senior director ofarea center operations forUnited Way of GreaterCincinnati, Erlanger-Elsmere Schools was se-lected because “they havemany of the necessarycomponents, such as com-munity partners, pro-grams in place for a suc-cessful model and incred-ible district leadership.”

“SuperintendentKathy Burkhardt is awell-respected leaderamong her state peers andtheir work is certainly be-ing lifted up as a model forothers,” she said. “Thedistrict is also the perfectsize to not only implement

a pilot but to learn from itas we work toward futurereplication.”

Erlanger-ElsmereSchools is leading the wayas a demonstration sitefor Pre-K Works by imple-menting an innovativemodel that includes multi-ple partners, shared re-sources, integrated deliv-ery of child care and par-ent engagement and col-lective measurement.

High-qualitypreschool forms‘soft skills’ neededfor success

According to Lyman,high-quality programssupport a child’s academ-ic achievements, and so-cio-emotional develop-ment which form the softskills necessary for suc-cess in a career. A high-quality program includeswell qualified teachers;developmentally appro-priate curricula and in-struction; positive rela-tionships between teach-ers and children; safe en-vironments; and lowstaff-child ratios.

“Pre-K Works wants toensure access to high-quality early learning forall 3- and 4-year-olds inNorthern Kentucky andeventually the entire stateof Kentucky,” she said.“We are developing ourstate policy strategy andare looking to the work inErlanger-Elsmere to helpin making the case thatPre-K does in fact work.”

FORT MITCHELL — Mike Sta-cy sits at his desk at the Beech-wood Independent SchoolBoard building. Just a month onthe job as superintendent heseems at home. He’s comfort-able, poised and ready to get theschool year started on Aug. 20.

In May, the BeechwoodBoard of Education unanimous-ly approved a four-year con-tract with Stacy, who served aschief academic officer forWoodford County (Versailles)Schools since July 2010. Stacywill earn $135,000 annually athis new post.

Prior to his work in the Wood-ford County School District, heserved as a principal, assistantprincipal, athletic director, as-sistant director of pupil person-nel, head coach and social stud-ies teacher in multiple districtsat the elementary, middle andhigh school levels.

Stacy earned his bachelor’sdegree in communications, so-ciology and history fromGeorgetown College. He com-pleted his master’s of educationin administration at the Univer-sity of Kentucky and a doctor-ate degree in educational policyand leadership at Spalding Uni-versity in Louisville.

The father of three officiallystarted his new role as superin-tendent July 1. He sat down withthe Recorder to discuss hisplans for the district, which hasreceived many accolades for

academic performance. For ex-ample, Beechwood HighSchool, for the eighth year in arow, has been ranked by USNews and World Report as oneof the best high schools in thenation. Beechwood High Schoolwas awarded US News andWorld Report’s Gold Medalranking of No. 333 nationallyand No. 3 in the state of Ken-tucky.

Q: What is your vision forBeechwood Schools?

A: In some places, you couldask me that and I’d have a 30- or60-day plan, but here in FortMitchell we have one of the top-ranking school systems in thestate. I don’t have changes inmind. I’m not going to sit infront of staff on opening daytalking about change. Instead,what I want is for every adulthere to be a leader in their pro-fession and a learner withintheir field. My vision is that ev-eryone associated with Beech-wood knows that we have maxi-mized the social and education-al experience of each studenthere.

Q: What are you lookingforward to the most in yournew post?

A: I’m looking forward to thekids coming back. If you’re inthis profession, you’re in it forthe students. Right now, I’mmissing the kids and I’m excitedto be on one campus so that I canget to know the kids better, justas I did when I was a principal.Some have asked me why wouldyou leave Central Kentucky tocome to such a small district? Iwant to have a close relation-ship with students and withtheir families. I cannot wait forthat to start happening.

Q: Kentucky is the firststate to adopt Common Corestandards. What are your ex-pectations for putting Com-mon Core into practice atBeechwood?

A: Common Core is just abaseline of standards. My ex-pectations to Beechwood in re-lation to Common Core is thatwe want to do what’s best for ourstudents. What we teach may beabove standard. My vision is tomaximize the learning experi-ence for every kid regardless ofwhat system of standards weare using. Common Core is not acurriculum, but a set of stan-dards. I want an individualizedlearning experience for our stu-dents. If we meet Common Corestandards, great. If we exceedCommon Core standards, great.We are too strong of a system tostick with one set of standards.We have to leave politics asideand teach our kids. We’re look-ing to maximize the opportuni-ties for students. I don’t want usto be contained by a set of guide-lines. If you’re a leader withinyour profession and a learner,you have to find ways to surpassthe minimum set of expecta-tions.

Q: How will you keep chal-lenging parents, teachers andstudents to be better?

A: Things are really great atBeechwood. We have to step upand ask what do we want for ourkids? I say that as an education-al leader and father of threekids who will attend schoolhere. We owe it to our communi-ty to provide the best education-al experience possible year af-ter year. As a parent, I want mychildren to have every opportu-nity that should be afforded tothem. Our kids have to be com-petitive in a way we’ve neverseen before. What we do to pre-pare our kids for a global mar-ket, has to continue to evolve.

To challenge students I ask ofthem two things: be engagedand responsible for your ownlearning, and for your own be-havior. That sets them up forgreat success in the work andacademic environment afterBeechwood.

Q: By Christmas break, ifyou were to do a midterm as-sessment, what does successlook like for you?

A: So, before Christmasbreak, if you come back and wewalk down the hall during classchange and 10 kids say, “Hey,Dr. Stacy, how’s it going?” I’llknow I’ve been successful in myrelationship with the kids. If wego out later while on car pickupduty and the parents roll downthe car windows and say, “Hey,how’s it going?” Then I knowI’ve been successful with par-ents. Success in my role meansI’m engaged with students andparents.

If we walk through 10 class-rooms and ask the kids, “Whatdid you learn today and why is itimportant?” And every kid cangive an answer I’d look at youand say, “Academically, we are

right where we need to be.” Q: What inspired you to get

into education? A: Not many people know

this, but I at first went into lawenforcement out of college.There are three professions Iknow of that can change the out-come of a human being’s life, aspiritual leader, a doctor, and aneducator. In law enforcement, Iwas seeing some of the not-so-great things of the human spirit.My wife’s family are all in edu-cation; my wife decided to goback to school for that. I finallyrealized that I too could have animpact on a kid’s future foreverin education. I felt that’s where Ineeded to be, I needed to impactkids. I continue to fall in lovewith being around kids. Theykeep you young and they keepyou entertained. Now, I’m fortu-nate to be in a great communityand great school, but I know I’mwhere I can have a direct im-pact on a kid forever.

PUZZLE ANSWERS


It seems to me that thebest part of summer isright now, what with allthe homegrown summerproduce at its peak.That’s why it’s always sohard for me to accept the

fact thatit’s also thetime kidsare goingback toschool. If Ihad anysay in thematter(which Iobviouslydon’t), I’drevert to

the old days when schoolstarted after Labor Day,not before.

The reality is that thisweek will be the firstweek of school for manyof our children, so therecipe I’m sharing formaple granola is timely.The chunkiness alongwith some healthy ingre-dients makes this an easychoice for snacks or atopping for yogurt.

Chunky maplecinnamon granola

I recommend old-fashioned oats becausethey’re larger and bakeup nicely. Be carefulwhen breaking apart.

Mix together:4 cups old-fashioned

oatsAbout 1 to 1-1/2 cups

favorite nuts, choppedcoarsely if necessary

1 cup seeds: Try sesa-me, flax, millet, chia,hemp, pumpkin or sun-flower or a combination.

CoatingWhisk together:1/2 to 2/3 cup brown

sugar

1/2 cup extra virginolive oil

1/2 cup real maplesyrup or honey

1 tablespoon vanilla1 teaspoon cinnamon

(optional)Preheat oven to 325.

Put a piece of parchmentor foil on large cookiesheet (about 15x17 withsides). Spray parchment/foil. Pour coating overoat mixture. Pour ontopan and pat down evenlyand very firmly. This isimportant to make thegranola chunk up later.Bake 35 minutes or so,until it looks golden. Ilike to pat it down againwhile it’s still warm. Letcool and break intochunks.

Healthy seedsMillet (you recognize

it as an ingredient in birdfeed) gives a crunch andcontains protein and iron.

Chia, like flax, is agreat source of Omega3’s, but doesn’t have to beground to get the benefit.It also absorbs water andcurbs appetite.

Hemp seeds. So, Iknow what you’re think-ing ... you won’t go offinto la-la land after in-gesting hemp seeds.They are hulled and safeto eat. The bonus: they’rea complete protein andfull of Omega 3s.

Medley of roastedsummer veggies

My friend Bob downthe road put out a basketof eggplant “for free” onthe stoop by his old well.Who could resist? Notme! I’ll be adding theeggplant to a roastedsummer vegetable med-

ley. Simple and easy toserve, the veggies are cutup prior to roasting. It’sadapted from one sharedby my talented and shar-ing colleague and friend,Amy Tobin. Check outAmy’s site atwww.amy-tobin.com.

4 cups summer veg-gies, like asparagus,small turnips, beets,zucchini, yellow squash,eggplant, bell peppers,potatoes, green beans,etc., cut up

1 tablespoon olive oil2 teaspoons balsamic

vinegarSalt and pepper to

taste1 teaspoon minced

garlicRed pepper flakes to

taste1/2 cup olive or grape

seed oilPreheat oven to 425.

Combine all the ingredi-ents and seasonings inlarge bowl, season withsalt and pepper to taste.Spread vegetables out onlarge-rimmed bakingsheet and roast untiltender.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

Olive oil vs. grapeseed oil: Olive oil is madefrom olives and grapeseed oil is made from theseeds of grapes. Becausethey are plant-derived,neither contains choles-terol. Both have vitaminE, which is good for yourimmune system andprotects your cells.Grape seed oil has twicethe vitamin E of olive oil.

Olive oil has a distinctflavor where grape seedoil has a neutral flavor.Although both oils have a

high smoke point (goodfor high temperatures),grape seed has a highersmoke point than olive.Which one to use de-pends upon the flavorprofile you are lookingfor.

CANDIDATES INVITED TO SEND GUEST COLUMNS

Last week’s questionDid you watch the Republican

presidential debate last week?Who impressed you? Why?

“Carly and Ben. The othersare all more of the same. Wash-ington could sorely stand someno BS intelligent leadership. Iwould serve on Fiorina’s cam-paign in an instant if she be-comes a contender.”

D.H.

“I certainly did watch thefirst of too many debates for thiselection cycle and found it quiteentertaining. I did not find, norexpect, a great deal of sub-stance, but with Mr. Trump liter-ally at center stage, how couldone not find it to be a good-watch. I gave Fox a big blackmark for daring to have com-mercials in the midst of a presi-dential debate and was some-what surprised when Ryan Sea-crest wasn’t the person telling us‘the debate will be right back af-ter this...’

“The winner, according onlyto me, was Chris Christie. He isstraightforward, thoughtful,and yes, a politician, but I get thesense that he can absolutely ac-tually lead this country down abi-partisan path that has beensorely lacking with the incum-bent individual. There are clear-ly too many candidates tryingfor the Brass Ring on the repub-lican side and I fully expect that

number to start decreasing soonwhen those that cannot raise anymoney realize that is for a rea-son.

“Moving forward, let’s get ridof at least half of the 10 on theprime time debate, bring CarlyFiorina up to the varsity squadand find someone that can knockHildabeast off her presumptivepedestal.”

M.J.F.

Previous week’squestion

Should Congress defundPlanned Parenthood after videoswere released allegedly detailinghow the organization sells fetalbody parts? What actions shouldCongress take?

“This is aimed toward NatalieMacDonald’s reply to the Aug. 6Ch@troom question aboutPlanned Parenthood.

“We the public do not reallyknow for sure what is going on inPlanned Parenthood in regardsto selling fetal body parts. Whichis why a full investigation shouldtake place.

“In regards to what was saidabout being pro life and antiabortion, how can you comparethe lives of innocent babies be-ing killed with the lives of con-victed murderers being sent toexecution? Simply put you can-not, there is no comparison. Inall fairness, yes, all lives are pre-cious and valuable and who arewe to place more value on onelife than the other? But we aretalking about an innocent beingand an adult who has chosen,chosen to unrightfully take thelife of a fellow human being.Which is the more just deci-sion?”

Car show raises $1,610 for Families of SMA

Ruth MeadowsWALTON NEWS

There are few things moreimportant than providing ourchildren with a good qualityeducation. Yet for years,many Kentucky parents havebeen less than satisfied withan education system in des-perate need of reform.

The last major elementaryand secondary education billpassed by Congress was theNo Child Left Behind Act in2002. This measure laid thegroundwork for importantreforms. But since its passage13 years ago, many of its origi-nal requirements have be-come unworkable. Today,nearly all of our publicschools are considered failing.

Due to this broken law andcongressional inaction, theObama Administration hasprovided waivers to states toavoid penalties under the law.However, those waivers camewith additional requirementsimposed by the administra-tion. As a result, more than 40states, including Kentucky,now have waivers from themandates included in NoChild Left Behind.

Despite the heavy hand ofthe administration, Kentuckyhas made some progress inrecent years in educationthrough the flexibility of thewaivers. Kentucky was thefirst state to petition for somefreedom from the currentlaw’s requirements, and withthat freedom came betterresults.

We’ve increased our gradu-ation rate to attain the 10th-highest graduation rate of allstates in the nation. Even

though morethan half ofKentucky’spublic schoolstudents areconsideredlow income,Kentucky isone of onlytwo states thatgraduates 85percent ormore of itslow-income

students on time. And Ken-tucky has increased the num-ber of students who enter intopost-secondary educationprograms from about half to68 percent in just a few years.

Still, there are limits towhat Kentucky schools can dounder the restrictions of cur-rent law and the interferenceof bureaucrats in Washington.Someone in a position to knowis Kentucky’s Education Com-missioner Terry Holliday. In aletter to me, he wrote: “I canattest based on our experi-ence that the waiver processis onerous and allows toomany opportunities for feder-al intrusion into state respon-sibility for education. Thelong-term health of publiceducation in the United Statesrequires reauthorization [of anew education bill] and an endto the use of the waiver as apatch on an otherwise imprac-tical system of require-ments.”

He’s right. It’s long pasttime that Congress acted –which is why I fought in theSenate to pass the Every ChildAchieves Act. This bill, which

passed the Senate last weekwith overwhelming bipartisansupport, would end top-down,one-size-fits-all federal man-dates for education by return-ing decision-making powerand accountability to thestates, to local school boards,to teachers, and to parentsrather than federal bureau-crats.

It would restore responsi-bility for local schools tostates by providing increasedflexibility to design and im-plement education programsand systems. It would strictlyprohibit the U.S. Departmentof Education from dictating tostates what standards toadopt, what accountabilitysystems to implement, or howto identify schools or teachersthat need improvement.

We’ve all witnessed whatKentucky has been able to doin the past few years underthe waiver, which offeredconditional flexibility. Justimagine what schools in ourcommonwealth will be able toachieve once the federal gov-ernment steps out of the way.

I look forward to the Houseand the Senate working to-gether to craft a final educa-tion reform bill that can beadded to the growing list oflegislative achievements in anew Republican-led Senate,and I’m pleased that fixingour education system is thelatest example of that impor-tant work.

U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, is the Senate MajorityLeader.

PARK HILLS — In three yearsas the head football coach atNewport Central Catholic, Ed-die Eviston led the Thorough-breds to state championships inhis first (2010) and last seasons(2012) before accepting a posi-tion as the offensive coordina-tor at Georgetown College.Now, Eviston is hoping to bringsimilar immediate success toCovington Catholic.

“Every program should havethat (state championship orbust) attitude,” Eviston said.“Deep down I don’t know ifthat’s a reality for every pro-gram or not, but I think at Co-vington Catholic, with the typeof program it is, that should be arealistic goal every year. We’recoming in here as a staff andcoaching these guys up for thatultimate goal.

“I’ve never been a three- orfive-year plan guy. Let’s get af-ter it now.”

The top two returning re-ceivers are junior Ryan McGin-ness and junior Anthony Best.McGinness and senior runningback Ben Darlington each hadabout 300 yards rushing lastyear. McGinness rushed for sixtouchdowns and was also thebackup quarterback last year.

Cov Cath lost almost all of itsreceptions and receiving yardsfrom last year.

Other returning starters in-clude senior lineman Chris Re-isiger, senior offensive linemanNathan Baute, senior defensiveback/linebacker Cam Pitzer,senior linebacker Ethan Sam-mons, senior defensive linemanLuke Shields and senior line-backer Lucas Timmerman.

Sophomore A.J. Mayer,whom Eviston touts as a Divi-sion I college prospect, is thetop contender for the QB posi-tion.

“He’s picked up the offensethe quickest, but he’s still asophomore,” Eviston said. “Hisceiling is very high. He has a lotof potential at that position. I’mexcited to get to watch him de-

velop. He’ll have his peaks andvalleys and we’ll take somebumps as he learns things, but Ithink he’s the type of kid thatwill bounce back quickly.”

Reisiger, the anchor of fourreturning seniors on the offen-sive line, said the intensity ofpractices and the lack of downtime with the new coachingstaff has helped in lessening thelearning curve and increasingthe competition.

ERLANGER — The LloydMemorial High School foot-ball team went 8-3 last seasonbut all three losses came to thetoughest teams on their sched-ule, two to Newport CentralCatholic and one to Newport.

The last NewCath losscame in the second round ofthe playoffs after Lloyd hadone regular-season game can-celed because of weather. TheJuggernauts hope to take thenext step this season and makefurther noise in the playoffs.

“The schedule is muchmore difficult so our guys willbe facing adversity in thosefirst six games. But that getsus ready for district play,”head coach Eric Turner said.“Once we get to our districtthe guys will have faced ad-versity and tough opponentsand they will be ready to com-pete.”

Lloyd returns several keyplaymakers from a potent of-fense that scored nearly 40points per contest in 2014. Ju-nior running back Justin Dur-ham rushed for 1,019 yardsand 19 touchdowns, and alsoplays linebacker. Durham alsoaveraged 24 yards on nine re-ceptions. Junior running backLashunn Townsend rushed for375 yards and six scores andhad 368 receiving yards andseven scores in the air. He alsoplays in the secondary.

Senior Charles Gaines re-turns as one of the area’s topreturning receivers, catching42 balls for 574 yards and sixscores last season. NewcomerDashon Lunsford, a transferfrom Scott, gives Lloyd a solidthird running back.

Overall, Lloyd has eight re-turning starters on offenseand seven on defense, and hasa veteran line led by seniorsEric Bruner, Jakob Turner andAndrew Fields.

“Our line is a strength forus,” Turner said. “The o-linewill have at least four seniors

on it and maybe five with somejuniors as backups. It’s a nice-sized line and they’ll be able toopen up some holes for us.”

The main concern headinginto the new season is replac-ing standout quarterbackHayden Molitor. Junior AlexRunion and sophomore JordanFann were vying for the jobheading into the first scrim-mage.

“They’ve worked extreme-ly hard,” Turner said. “They’rebuddies. We always teach fam-ily here and they’re rootingfor each other. Each of themhave different strength and itmay turn into a two-quarter-back system. Whatever hap-pens I feel confident they willrun our offense for us.”

The new season beginsAug. 21with a game at Walton-Verona, who was 10-3 in 2A lastyear, then a home game with1A power Beechwood Aug. 28.Lloyd begins district play Oct.

9 against Newport. “We’re much more of a team

this year,” said junior runningback/defensive back Jesse Hat-ton. “We’re way more physicaland we have more athleticismthis year. We lost a great QB lastyear and we were kind of wor-ried about that in the offseasonbut both of our quarterbacksare coming out to compete andwe’re not worried about it at all.We’ll be good.”

Hatton, Runion and Durhamwere the top three tacklers lastyear and lead the defense.

Turner has tweaked his of-fensive system heading into theseason.

“We have a newer offenseand we need to sharpen that up,”he said. “It’s one of those thingswhere we’ll be better in weeksix than we are in week one.They’re working extremelyhard and they’re doing thethings we need to do to get bet-

ter. We’ve got some great ath-letes on offense and we need toget the ball to each one of theseguys.”

FT. MITCHELL — Barring ca-tastrophe, Noel Rash will col-lect his 100th career win asBeechwood’s head footballcoach this season.

The Tigers mentor entershis 10th season with a 96-30record, four wins away fromthe century mark. His maingoal is to win the last game ofthe season and collect a statechampionship.

EDGEWOOD — The DixieHeights football players arewell aware that outsiders havelower expectations of them thisseason than last.

That’s a natural feeling whenDixie was 13-2 was last seasonand reached the Class 6A statechampionship game before suf-fering heavy graduation lossesthat led to mostly new names atthe top of the depth chart thisseason.

However, the Colonels wantto adopt the mindset that no ros-ter turnover is too big to over-come.

“To come off a 13-2 season,teams like Highlands, whetherthey win or lose, they comeback believing and this is thefirst time we’ve been there,”said Dixie head coach DavidBrossart. “I told the kids youare regional and districtchamps and you should comeback with a swagger becauseuntil this season is over you’reregional champs and that’ssomething that has to be takenaway from you. We want ourkids to believe every year thatthey have a chance to competein the finals.”

The Colonels will start thisseason with a few key hold-overs among starting defensiveplayers but with all of the start-ers from last year’s potent of-fense either gone or playingnew positions.

“Our young kids are workinghard and stepping into theirroles,” said senior receiver/de-fensive back Ethan Schulte,“The kids were with us on thatjourney and they know what ittakes to get there and we’ll

work as hard as it takes to getback there.”

The offense, of course, wasled by quarterback DrewMoore, who accounted for morethan 3,000 yards and 38 touch-downs last season. Luke Zajacand his 1,354 rushing yards and14 TDs also departed as well asa massive and talented offen-sive line.

The lone returning starterfrom that unit, last year’s topreceiver Gunther Faeth, a sen-ior, is in line to be the new QBentering the Aug. 14 scrim-

mage. Junior Noah Smedleycan also play QB and receiver.Junior Cameron Barrett, theteam’s third rusher last yearwith 568 yards and eight scores,comes back.

“We feel like we can movethe ball on people,” Brossartsaid. “The real challenge is re-placing a great offensive line.We had six seniors includingthe tight end. We’ve got abouteight to nine kids now whowe’re looking at. The scrim-mages will be really valuable.”

The defense also had heavy

losses but has a veteran core tobuild around in senior linemanJack Lohre, senior linebackerOwen Sammons, senior line-backer Noah Caple and Schultein the secondary.

“We have something good ondefense right now so we’ll try tokeep it up,” Caple said. “There’sbeen a lot of talk about us not be-ing as good as last year, but Ithink we have a special group.We have a lot of good skill play-ers and I think we’ll have a good

“It’s a little bit of a cultureshock,” Reisiger said. “We’revery productive in our time onthe field. Everything is quickand upbeat. We get a lot done ina shorter amount of time. We’repretty intense daily in general.”

CovCath will be fine-tuningand building chemistry early inthe season against a difficultschedule while learning newhead coach Eviston’s run-and-shoot offense.

Eviston expects McGinnessto get plenty of work as the slotback in his new offense. Starlinebacker Pitzer will miss thefirst few weeks of the seasondue to injury, but once he re-turns the Colonels should be ledby their defense. He led theteam with 95 tackles last sea-son.

Seniors Jake Steins and LukeShields give them toughness upfront, and Best adds speed andsavvy in the secondary.

COVINGTON — Holy Crosshad a rough 2014 season on thefootball gridiron, going 1-10with Bishop Brossart as the lonewin.

The Indians have several keyreturnees as they look to im-prove and get back to their win-ning ways. Holy Cross wel-comes back four starters on of-fense and five on defense.

Leading the way is seniorquarterback Hamilton Scott,who is a third-year starter. Hethrew for 653 yards and threetouchdowns a year ago, and onthe ground he rushed for 701yards and seven scores.

Junior Xavier Abernathywas the team’s top rusher lastseason, gaining 774 yards andscoring nine times on theground. He also had 13 recep-tions and a TD.

Junior running back DerrickBarnes joins the program. He’llplay both ways and add to anathletic backfield that includesAbernathy.

Senior Damien Serrano re-turns as a starter after being theleading receiver on the teamlast season. He had 20 catchesfor 229 yards. Senior Joey Wild-er also returns at receiver andgives Scott two veteran playersto target.

Abernathy, Wilder andBarnes will all play key roles inthe defense at linebacker, andSerrano returns in the second-ary. Serrano had an interceptionand two fumble recoveries tolead the team in takeaways ayear ago.

Bruce Kozerski, the formerBengals all-pro offensive line-man, returns as head coach witha 63-76 record.

The key for Scott and the of-fense is minimizing turnoversand sustaining drives. Majordefensive improvements couldpave the way for a winning sea-son.

“We are as hopeful as any,but understand that defensewill be the key to our success,”Kozerski said. “The fundamen-tals of blocking and tacklingwill make the difference be-tween success and failure.”

Holy Cross starts the seasonwith city rival Holmes Aug. 21,then plays at Walton-VeronaAug. 28. HC begins 2A districtplay by hosting Newport Cen-tral Catholic Oct. 9.

TAYLOR MILL — It’s easy tospot the goal this season forthe Scott High School footballteam.

The Eagles have had onlythree winning seasons in their37 years of existence. Two-thirds of them have come inthe past two seasons, includ-ing last year, when the Eagleswere 6-4 including a loss inthe first round of the Class 5Aplayoffs to Anderson County.

The Eagles hope to take thenext step up and be champion-ship contenders and theyknow they have to keep im-proving their mental outlook.Head coach Dan Woolley setup a leadership class for hisplayers in the offseason, with13 weeks of mental training.

“The biggest thing I like isour senior leadership,” Wool-ley said. “We’ve got somereally strong seniors. Wehave eight kids who were vot-ed captains. So many guys gotvotes. That’s something weneeded to address, so whenwe do face adversity we canbounce back and become re-silient instead of folding thetent in. This group is ready toface adversity and turn it intoa positive.”

Scott is in 4A this seasonafter moving down from 5A inthe new KHSAA alignment.The Eagles are in a districtwith Mason County, HarrisonCounty, Bourbon County andHolmes.

The Eagles hope to keepbuilding behind seven return-ing starters on both sides ofthe ball.

Like last year, the Eagleswill run behind senior run-ning backs Roberto Londonand Deondre Pleasant. Theycombined for 1,800 yards and16 touchdowns on the groundlast season and are both Divi-sion I college prospects. Lon-don had 164 carries and ninescores. Both players alsocaught 11 passes out of thebackfield to lead the team inreceptions.

Both also start in the de-fensive secondary. Pleasantled the squad in interceptionswith three.

“I still think they’re the

best one-two punch in North-ern Kentucky,” Woolley said.“Both of them have the abilityto score on every play. Anytime the ball’s in their hands,it’s a good thing.”

Senior Ron Rice anchorsboth lines, and junior GageTucker adds a huge comple-ment up front. Senior TreyHicks leads the way at full-back and linebacker.

“I feel like I’m changingScott High School legacy withmy brothers,” Rice said. “Inpast seasons, we’ve fallenapart and it goes downhill. Ifwe stay together and play likewe knew we can play, we cando a lot.”

Senior Danny Fitzgeraldreturns at quarterback. Lastseason, Fitzgerald threw six

touchdown passes but the Ea-gles hope to open up the of-fense more with a veteran QBbehind center.

“Danny is stepping up andthrowing the ball a lot better,”Woolley said. “He had somegreat 7-on-7s and that’s whatwe’ve been missing. His abil-ity and leadership havestepped up in a big way.”

Hicks led the team in tack-les last season and anchors animproved defense.

Scott opens the season athome against Newport Cen-tral Catholic and then plays atDixie Heights Aug. 28. Thefirst district game is Sept. 25against Mason County. It’s atougher schedule overall.

“Now we’ve stepped up ourschedule, not as concernedabout wins and losses as muchas getting better,” Woolleysaid. “We start out with twostate championship-caliberteams, NewCath and Dixie.No matter what, if we go outand compete in those games,we’re going to be better andthat’s what we want come dis-trict time.”

Said Pleasant: “It means alot, growing up around hereand seeing them have a terri-ble season. We can build ourown legacy. We’re good.We’re ready to come out andshow people what we’ve got.”

INDEPENDENCE — Therecent past has broughtmany sunny days to theperennially successful Si-mon Kenton football team,but the future is lookingjust as bright for the Pio-neers, beginning this year.

“We are excited aboutthe challenges,” headcoach Jeff Marksberrysaid. “We have had a greatoffseason. Our guys haveworked really hard.”

The proof is in the re-sults. The Pioneers fin-ished with an 11-2 recordin 2014, one year after put-ting together an unbeaten10-0 regular season on theway to a 12-1 mark. Theyfinished 9-4 in 2012.

The Pioneers’ 2008state championship final-ist, led by record-breakingtailback Miles Simpson,kicked off a stretch inwhich they went 10-5, 11-2and 10-3 for a 31-10 three-year run.

They just bettered it.With a 32-7 combined

record, the Pioneers arecoming off their winnin-gest three-year span un-der Marksberry, enteringhis 16th season as headcoach. They have been oneof the last eight teams inthe big-school state play-offs six of the past sevenyears.

Possessing top-flightplayers in the junior andsenior classes, with devel-oping talent among thesophomores and fresh-men, Simon Kenton isready for another takeoff.

Elevating the offense isjunior quarterback CamRacke, who spearheads ahigh-powered attack thataveraged 36 points pergame last year, 41 pergame in its 11wins. SK lostboth its games to DixieHeights.

Racke is comfortablein the pocket, completing65.7 percent of his passesfor 1,897 yards with 21touchdowns. But he canrun, evidenced by his 524rushing yards and eightrushing scores

Racke works in concertwith several athletic run-ners and receivers behinda talented offensive line.Senior Dillon Powell is anelite tailback. The shiftyrunner scampered for

1,519 yards despite miss-ing two games as a resultof injury. He averaged 138yards rushing per game.He averaged 7.3 yards percarry and also 15.2 yards areception in 14 catcheswith two scores.

Powell’s high game forthe season was 241 yardsagainst Campbell County.Injury-free during a longseason, he has a shot at2,000 yards and a chanceto compete at the next lev-el.

Senior wide receiverLogan Scott is poised forincreased production af-ter averaging 17.3 yardsper catch and scoringthree touchdowns as a sec-ondary target to graduat-ed standouts Kyle Heflinand Logan Winkler. DavidSandlin, a 6-foot-1, 280-pound offensive lineman,is on the Division II col-lege radar with an offerfrom Kentucky Wesleyan.

Racke’s trajectory alsopoints to college-levelplay. But, first things first.The quarterback has someunfinished business be-fore leaving Simon Ken-ton. The Pioneers havetheir sights set on a returnto the Class 6A state cham-pionship game for the firsttime in seven years.

“We are excited aboutthe returning duo ofRacke and Powell,”Marksberry said. “Defen-sively, we will be led bysolid returning starters onthe line and in the second-ary, including Trent Kin-caid. We should have gooddepth at several key posi-tions.”

SK returns five start-ers on defense. Kincaid, ajunior defensive back,tied for the area lead withseven interceptions. Sen-ior defensive linemanTucker Mueller is theleading returning tackler.He also had 10 sacks.

Other returners towatch in the early goingare senior Jacob Harneyin the secondary and sen-ior Blake Powell on the de-fensive line.

In the newly remodeledKHSAA alignment, SKwill be in a three-team dis-trict in Class 6A withBoone County and Camp-bell County. The Pioneershost Christian Academy-Louisville to start the sea-son Aug. 21. Games withDixie Heights (Sept. 11)and Highlands (Sept. 25)highlight the non-districtslate.

A typical residential gas customer using 70 ccf in a month will see an increase of $0.02 or 0.03%. A typical residential electric customer using 1000 kWh in a month will see a decrease of $0.12 or (0.14%).
