For 200 years, my family mined coal and for 24, I served this nation. Carol Miller on the other hand was born in the swamp – the privileged daughter of a Congressman with a silver spoon in her mouth.

How to identify an out of town anarchist in Louisville:
1. When you give them directions just tell them its past "the old Sears building" but before "the old Bacon's."
2. Ask them where they went to high school.
Q - Has LMPD confirmed that "anarchists" have come to town.
A - Both Chavous and Mayor Fischer say yes. Ex. people were asking for directions to places common to Louisville.

One thing Ballard coach Chris Renner noted in his postgame comments was the lack of stats on the KHSAA web site. The association is supposed to require them & it can make challenging for scouting, especially when you can't get a lot of film
