We went to Louisville tonight from the foothills of eastern Kentucky to show the world out of one blood God created us all! Love is kind and it unites! The best moment of my coaching career in a time our state and country desperately needs His love and peace!
I know this won’t get a lot of likes because my team is generally looked down upon because of we are from and we struggle in football. We don’t have flash and glamour but they are amazing in my eyes!! They teach me more than I teach them!
The Jackson Co. Generals are excited to play Shawnee H.S. in Louisville Friday! This is more than a game it’s an opportunity to show support & solidarity! Shout out to
@kyhighs
for his article about Shawnee’s canceled games & the reasons! Without it we would have never known.
A man who used his gifts to make a difference and impact countless lives! He ran his race well! May we all run ours with the same selflessness, enthusiasm and passion! May the Lord grant his family and community, peace, comfort and strength.
@KySportsRadio
Thank you Matt for shedding light on the good people of Kentucky. I am no longer there but their new head coach Nick Sizemore is providing even better leadership to these young people and community!
@kyhighs
My staff, kids and parents said our hosts were class all the way! They were great and showered us with love and food😂 It was the greatest experience in my coaching career! Much love to Shawnee and Louisville!
This is the team I played on in high school when I was group home kid. This is the team I currently coach. This is why our game Friday means a lot to me! Out of one blood God has created us ALL! PERIOD!!
🙏 Kentucky HIGH SCHOOL football coaching legend Alvis Johnson lives on through the lives of ALL he IMPACTED!
Prayers for his family and all those who are hurting! Rest in ETERNAL PEACE COACH!
A Football Mom told me at our banquet tonight they put up pictures of the coaches that personified who they were. I am pleased this is the picture they thought of when they thought about me.

I am a die hard Nebraska fan. Nebraska football as a national powerhouse and championship contender died in 2001 at Colorado when they were No. 1 and lost 62-36 at Boulder - never the same since. We are not important anymore. Anyone who argues otherwise is living in delusion.
I love the recognition
@NateInSports
is giving young men from programs that are not typically in the limelight or talked about much by retweeting their college offers! Means a lot to these programs and kids! Thank you Nate!
Truly one of the great ones. Always there 4 me & so many others! I am heartbroken! I, like so many will miss Robbie Lucas, never took credit for success - always deflected praise to his coaches & players!
May the Lord be with his family and all who mourn!!
@BJNFBALL
😓
To add to this amazing story of these young people. They just lost the game and were on the three hour ride home. The report coming in is if the young people did not stop to help the injured man he may have died! Unbelievable! Jackson Co. Generals!
I know this won’t get a lot of likes because my team is generally looked down upon because of we are from and we struggle in football. We don’t have flash and glamour but they are amazing in my eyes!! They teach me more than I teach them!
Treat people the way you would like people to treat you. If everyone did that the place we live would be a much better place. It really is that simple! Try it!
My oldest son grew up seeing me coach football. We call athletes heroes who do amazing things. My son never played football! He may have felt I was disappointed in him. Yesterday, my son became my HERO when he graduated from US Army Basic Training at 17!

!MyHero!
@CJsportseditor
I am absolutely heartbroken 💔
This man impacted so many! He never took credit for success always deflected praise to his coaches and players! It was an absolute honor to know him and be one of the people he impacted! I’ll miss him greatly!
My son became a third generation member of the U.S. Army National Guard. He will get 100 percent of his college paid for and get an additional $720 dollars in monthly college money for two days a month and two weeks a year! I recommend everyone to look into this option!
Former General and OT at UK Landon Young speaking at our Banquet last night honored one of our young men who is fighting brain cancer and spoke about putting Jesus Christ first in all you do! Great player, great role model, great man!
@Landon_Young_67
This man means more to me than many may know! The best of the best! Coach Eric Shaw, Sr., My friend, coaching mentor and brother!

The Jackson Co. football family sends our deepest thoughts and prayers to the family of Coach Ty Scroggins. While his coaching feats were impressive the man he was and the lives he helped transform was even more so as well documented by those who knew him & were impacted by him!
@Booker4KY
Thank you for being there tonight! Your support and presence tonight meant the world to us!
You are a class act sir and I and our community will never forget your kindness, love and compassion!
Pleased to announce Coach Cody Smith as our new Defensive Coordinator. Coach Smith won a State Championship with Somerset H.S. in 2019-20. Welcome to the family!

@KySportsRadio
Matt when you get saddened and need hope always remember Friday, Oct. 2, 2020. I believed then as I still do that God orchestrated the events of that night. We witnessed the best version ourselves! That version is who I truly believe we are! Keep the hope Matt!
Kobe Bryant had faith in Christ and attended church before he transitioned into his eternal rest won for him by his savior Jesus Christ! He will be missed but this fact gives me great joy! He understood it does not profit someone to lose their soul to gain the whole world!
I’ll miss these seniors and wish them the very best! I’ll always be there coach! The best way to honor them is to quickly get focused on 2020 and get our program to Kroger Field!
@KentuckySports
Shout out to
@Jhawks9
, TATES CRK, for completing a 7-3 season and undefeated (3-0) District Championship in his second yr. He didn’t win the DIST. COY but has established a great culture and embodies everything a coach should be! His coaches & players love him!!
@TCHSfootball23
@UCF_Football
The sportsmanship on both sides displayed by Memphis and UCF was even more incredible than the game! Can’t tell you how many times I saw someone help their opponent up and consoling the members of the losing team. Great role models for the youth.
Loyalty is a dying trait in our society. I am glad Jesus was loyal to us to the point of being murdered on a cross and taking on himself a death and punishment we deserved to reconcile us to God by grace through faith in Him.

The church has had false teachers since the inception of it... the gates of hell will never prevail against His church even if the devil throws thousands of false teachers into her ...

@coach_frost
I stand fully behind Coach Frost and his staff! I completely believe in their ability to put Nebraska football back in perennial national contention again. It will take time! Patience will be tested but people need to stay the course!
@KymberlyRiceSHS
Jackson County loves you and our sisters and brothers at Shawnee. My staff, parents and players said they were never treated better and fed so well 😂 Shawnee nation is Top Shelf! Together we are stronger! Diversity enriches us all!
@KySportsRadio
Matt, I became a huge fan of yours after your support of our team last month. But your statement about McDonalds fries being the best amongst fast food restaurants makes me question everything. You have crossed a line you just can’t😂
#ArbysFriesBetter
Be a uniter Matt!
@RichmondRsports
Why? This is a reputable man and coach. Two rough seasons should not lead to a high school head football coach getting fired especially one of this quality of character.
A D1 college coach told me they are skeptical of kids who have played at multiple high schools barring legitimate circumstances- “If they bail on their high school teammates they will on their college ones. Fighting through adversity and difficulty is something we look for.”
@Lex_Lutheran
I am a law enforcement officer and have been in military, local and fed LE for 22 years. I am sick to my stomach to see what happened to Mr. George Floyd. There is absolutely no way defend this nor should anyone try! This is being roundly condemned by the LE community!
Don't walk through life just playing football. Don't walk through life just being an athlete. Athletics will fade. Character and integrity and really making an impact on someone's life, that's the ultimate vision, that's the ultimate goal - bottom line. Ray Lewis
@LibertyTGill
@LFSNMedia
Without question the greatest transformational college coach the game has ever seen. He won on the field, and he won his players hearts and minds impacting their lives well beyond the football field!
There are a lot of devils out there masquerading themselves as your friends or associates ... they can be in your family too..be careful of the wolves in sheep’s clothing! Stay close to Christ! Be wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove! Immerse yourself in the Words of God!
I wish I had a beautiful weight room to show off on social media like other coaches but I don’t. What I can show off is a group of young men who make no excuses and put in their work for next season knowing they don’t have what others have! They appreciate what they got!
This is a high school coaches state title! The relationship with the players! I love my kids and hate it when they come to the end of something they love but thankful God has great things ahead for them!

As long he delivers I get it, however, you can compete in a respectful manner representing yourself, family and organization but it is Bakers right to conduct himself the way he wants. It is a free country. But the minute he does not deliver he should expect what he gives.

SHOUT OUT TO
@CoachDuncan39
for his passionate and relentless leadership in the Wt. Rm. His dedication and enthusiasm is contagious! He develops the players physically, mentally and emotionally through core principals and values! Remarkable leadership! 🔥🔥🔥
@AlabamaFTBL
The greater story about Jalen Hurts and Tua is not their improbable role reversals rather it is the fact they are both faithful Christians whose lives are shaped by their faith and Scriptures. Jalen and Tua are who they are because of who they follow - Jesus Christ!
@MCentralFB
So sorry to hear this. “Lord, I pray you be with this young man’s family and friends during this very sad time! Grant them your strength, peace and comfort in Jesus Name!”
Be assured of our prayers and support!
Excited to kickoff the Lafayette General football Fellowship of Christian Athletes Team Huddle this Thursday at 3:30. We are committed to mentoring young men the right way from the inside out! Our student athletes are much more than just players to us

@LafayetteFBall
I won a state championship today when I saw two of my former football sons grow into Great men, one a great father and the other a great preacher. Both grew up without fathers and situations where they weren’t supposed to make it! They proved their doubters wrong!
@CoachGeneChizik
@CoachPutt
They are clearly top 4 in the country, no doubt but to me tonight they proved they weren’t the best, they were eliminated tonight in the SEC title game they had their shot, they shouldn’t get another one.. in my opinion. ..but props to them no doubt great team.
@TCHSfootball23
How many young men are willing to stay after every weight session, watch film, work drills, sit through white board sessions to increase their football IQ in order to get better? Doing the things no one else is willing to do is doing what it takes🔥
