Grass! https://youtu.be/iNLhSYDnJTU?si=w4BHd0ysE1EmkNer From day one, when you first met the team, to right now, what has been the biggest change inside the football program? Our bodies are much different. We are more businesslike when we do our work, and also more confident. We touched on this a bit during our last interview. Is it time for someone to take the bull by the horns and get some all-star games restarted in Kentucky? As much as I loved the old KY-TN All-Star, those days have passed, at least for now. When we last spoke, you had stated that a big concern going into the ...

  Koury Johnson College: I received my bachelor’s from Indiana Wesleyan and am working on my master’s in special ed at Liberty University. Cincinnati/Finneytown Position: Head Coach Could you share with the readers your coaching tree, from first job to current job? My first ever job was a freshman/JV OC at Northwest HS. Coach Lee Johnson gave me my first opportunity. When I started at Northwest, I was attracted to him because of our similarities. I would go to his class to talk football. Some days he would have to kick me out because he was teaching. Lol, I then inquired about the coaching spot, and the rest is history. I then went to Hughes High School as the offensive coordinator under Coach Chris Mobley. From there I went to Wilmington HS under Coach Ryan Evans as the Offensive Coordinator, who is not only a mentor but also a big brother to me! From there, I went back to Northwest under Coach Brandon Schon as his OC. Now I’m the head football coach at Finneytown HS with a great ...
