Madison Southern's best player, Ethan Moore, has enrolled at Douglass. Last year at Southern as a running back, WR, and QB Moore rushed for 777 yards on only 79 attempts an avg. of 9.8 per attempt and 12 touchdowns. He had 220 yards and 8 touchdowns as a wide-receiver. Moore also played defensive back where he had 5 interceptions.

Ethan Moore has went back. Gary 0-1 so far on his new recruits.

LOL I guess Madison Sothern wanted him back from what I was told it was two fold they up his father's salary and due to how much more talent at Douglass as compared to Madison Southern where he played multiple positions, but due to the talent level at Douglass he was only going to be playing DB.

I also love how people on here are if you just read post on here not knowing everything you would think that Frederick Douglass gets kids to come play for them (recruit) as people on here say but all the kids that end up at schools that have great football teams they just show up out of the blue at those schools. It's really laughable. No one ever says anything about kids showing up at say LCA, Lex. Catholic, Boyle Co., Corbin, etc. That is okay and you have never seen me ever say anything about a kid going anywhere. If the parent's have the means and want to move their kids more power to them.

It also happens the other way around in the past several years two of the key players that were big contributors to GRC's basketball program went there from Douglass heck the 2019-20 Bourbon County had 4 of their top 6 players were from Douglass.

Are you telling me Landis and company didn’t go around door to door to prominent athletes homes at Douglass when they first opened openly selling them to come to school there?

Or that they didn’t promise the QB from Knott the starting QB position if he moved there? 

Or that Moore would play DB and have a wildcat package built in for him? 

A lot of promises go around that loose lips let out over years.

Yea you’re right it’s funny but it does get old. I guess that I just didn’t realize that Douglass is lucky to be the only high school I guess in the state that players want to transfer to play football at.

A funny thing there is a school only about 2-3 miles from Douglass who complains about kids coming to Douglass has called this kid’s house a couple of times a week to come there.

Also another development that has come about @Big Daddy Bull is now that the other city schools besides Bryan Station do not have to play Douglass now this offseason they formed a new freshman league but for some reason Douglass was not invited. lol

Crazy stuff, I use to feel the same about Douglas, but most people dislike is out of jealousy they do a heck of a job. Are you talking about that new Froshmore Conference? If so, I do know those schools do not have enough players to have a Freshman or JV team which blows my mind at a 6A school. You could be talking about something else though I haven't heard of.

Yes that is correct I don’t see how they can ever compete in 6A without 3 separate teams. Douglass said that was fine they would only play their freshman but it was still no to playing in it.

@16BBall Fan It is indeed very tough to compete without three full teams!  We've done it but it takes a lot of work.  As for Douglass telling me that they would play their Freshman and I wouldn't let them in...That is not correct.
