Not only was surprised when I was approached about doing this, but I was honored. I’ve poured so much into supporting this club and the experiences and friendships I’ve made along the way have made every moment worth it. 💚

Scope the rendering of what LSC’s stadium may look like.
Possible Stadium location: Athens Boonesboro Rd (other options are still on the table)

JUST IN: The zone change and conditional use permits have both passed unanimously.
After a year of planning and hours of deliberating tonight,
@LexSporting
can move ahead with a stadium on Athens Boonesboro Road.
@WKYT
Fully expected the club to get dunked on a bit about the info regarding Lex coming while we’re last in the league, but I’m confused as to why so many fans of other teams are seemingly mad about it. Whether we can or can’t cut it in USLC is an us problem, not a you problem. 🤷♂️
I’m hearing that the USL 1 will be announcing home openers for teams on the 5th. If the plan holds we should be learning where Lexington Sporting Club will call home in the next couple of days! 🗓️ 🏠 👀 🟢 ⚽️
From Nottingham to Lexington. Our newest manager has had quite the soccer journey, collecting experience to lvl 🆙 along the way!
So, what should we know about
@dpowell6
as we move into the next era of
@LexSporting
?
Read up! ⬇️
Some perspective on what a turn out we had last night. It was an amazing time and I hope everyone keeps coming back (with new friends and family each time) to support our club and enjoy this experience together!

While we wait for
#LexingtonSportingClub
to take the field I’ve been investing my time getting familiar with the
#USL
community. Here are my initial thoughts and impressions from the past few months and what I feel Lexington has to look forward to.
Not the score line we hoped for, but there were a ton of positives to take from our first ever game. Each experience brings new opportunities to grow!
@LexSporting
always and forever! 💚
Couldn’t have asked for a more amazing first game experience for my son!
🐴 meeting Thunder

Amal Knight has been Coop’s favorite since they first met in preseason (Fox a close 2nd 😆)… (1/5)

“We’re delighted to finally get here. What an amazing atmosphere, from all of our fans. We’re extremely lucky to play in front of such an amazing crowd... I love it here. I love Kentucky.” -
@CharlieMachell
What an amazing day, getting to watch
@LexSporting
practice, with my son. I can’t express how excited he was to watch the team play and meet so many of the players and staff. Thank you to everyone who took the time to meet him. He still can’t stop talking about it! 💚
Today’s the big day! I will be on site for the big announcement coming from Lexington Sporting Club at noon! I’ll primarily be using Twitter and Instagram to deliver updates, so stay tuned!
#LexGo
Preseason matches start today around USL League One. There are definitely some good chances for Lexington Sporting Club to test themselves heading into the season lined up! Let’s go LSC!!!⚽️ 💚 💪
Just over 48 hours before

✅ First home match

✅ First point
#LexGo
If you’re local (and interested) there will be a story about Lexington Sporting Club during the time slots of 6 and 10 on the CW and WKYT at 11, that yours truly will have a feature on! (I just hope my hair looks okay…)
“Scoring this goal meant a lot. And it says a lot about Ates Diouf. He could have easily scored himself, but he passed it to me…We dedicate this win to the crowd, we couldn’t do it without you guys, so keep coming out.”

I had the opportunity to cover the

matchup between
@LexSporting
and

for
@usopencup
and it was a blast! Checkout my post-match recap of the newest (friendly) rivalry in Kentucky sports!
Since he couldn’t make it to the match,
@PurpleSDF
asked me to handle the post-match report. Here it is in haiku form:
Amazing weather.
Lou City by a million.
Tyler is good luck.
I’ll see myself out now…

“We were against a quality side. I mean we’re talking about the champions from last year, but today was about us. It’s about Lexington Sporting Club and how much it means to us, to the team, and the community…I couldn’t be prouder of these guys”

How can you not root for this club? They have built something truly special in a relatively short amount of time and have the community support to prove it. If other clubs aren’t paying attention, they should be. 🏔 ⚽️ 💪
We’ve broken our attendance record for the third straight home game, with an unprecedented 1,633 fans here to support the Boys In Green.
We’re in absolute awe of this crowd, and so deeply grateful for your support. 💚🔊
Mark your calendars! A week from tomorrow I’ll be joining the
@theUSLshow
as a regular!
Super excited for this opportunity and I hope you all will tune in to watch/listen to us talk all things USL!
These last 2 weeks have been taxing, for a variety of reasons, but I was surprised a couple of days ago when I was approached to be a part of something pretty awesome. Excited to share it with you all soon!
Thank you for everything you’ve done for our club and community while you were here
@nnovo1010
. You’ll always have a home amongst the LSC faithful! 💚
#LexGo
Alright you all, I did the thing! Episode 1 of the first pod dedicated to
@LexSporting
is live! Hopefully I didn’t ramble too much and you all enjoy it! Thanks for your support, as always! 💚
A big step forward for pro soccer here in the Bluegrass. The club now has a more tangible option on the table with the approval. Time will tell which location will win out as our permanent home.
Yesterday, a zone change was approved for land off Athens Boonesboro Road for
@LexSporting
to build a new soccer stadium.
A positive step towards a permanent home in the bluegrass for professional ⚽!

Hearing from a couple different places that there was racism directed towards
@LexSporting
player(s) last night. There’s no room for that trash in the world, let alone soccer. I hope
@fuego_futbol
and
@USLLeagueOne
makes sure the people responsible are dealt with.
Our team is finally taking shape and
@KaelonFox
will be joining us as a member of our inaugural team!
Check out my write up on what to expect from Fox and why
@LexSporting
fans should be hyped that he’ll be repping the badge! 🟢 ⚽️ 🐎 🦊
We are just a day away from Lexington Sporting Club releasing some big news about our future. One thing is for sure, our club is on a path to entwine itself with the soul of our city!
#LexGo
I love this club and the love they show for all of us. This is why
@LexSporting
is special. Thank you to every player for the way you make this an experience that runs deeper than sports!
Have to say, aside from the result,
@OneKnoxSC
was a great away day experience. Everyone was friendly and took the rivalry in good stride. Looking forward to hosting you all soon (with a flipped result obviously 😉)
@knoxscruffs
What’s better than a Friday? A Friday with a new Crane Kicks Lex logo drop!
Special thanks to
@rkpiercy
for crafting the design that will usher the brand into its new era! This is only the beginning!
#LexGo
HUGE
@LexSporting
news just dropped, so we had to get together for a mini episode where we share our reactions to joining the
@USLChampionship
and talk about what this means for the future! Give it a listen!

The more you look at the new
@LexSporting
away kits, the more details jump out at you. Aside from the diamonds the kit itself has an intricate raised patterning throughout that is just mesmerizing. A classy allusion to Lexington and horse country for sure!
Lou City is going to be a TOUGH opponent in the Open Cup, but I can’t imagine a more fun matchup! Lexington Sporting Club fans have a great opportunity to show up for the start of another amazing Lexington-Louisville Rivalry!!! 💚
I found out that my Grandpa, who meant more to me than I can put into words, passed away today. I could use some good vibes, especially while I figure out how to break the news to my 4 year old son who idolized him. I’m gutted you all.
We’re just 2 followers away from hitting the 600 mark! If you’re a
@LexSporting
fan, I would love for you to help us get the word out so we can reach even more of the
#LexGo
family.
With a huge interview hitting the pod this week, now is as good a time as ever! 💚
From the first to the last. Thanks for all the great memories Georgetown! I’ll never forget all of the special moments Toyota Stadium holds for
@LexSporting
fans! Now it’s time for the next chapter!
#LexGo
home! 🏡
Sometimes I think how cool it would be to grow all my work covering LSC to something on the level of what KSR does for UK. That would take more hands, more funds, and for the city as a whole to completely embrace soccer at a whole new level. Maybe one day.
The level of hype I’m feeling about tomorrow’s historic
@LexSporting
home match against
@ForwardMSNFC
is through the roof! I can’t wait to see friends, old and new, there to cheer on our club! Let’s make tomorrow special and have some fun!
#LexGo
⚡️Bag secured!⚡️
Whatever you’ve seen online, the colors on this kit are even more charged up in person! Cheers to the club for another great kit!
#LexGo
I was prepping a recording tonight when I noticed that I’ve hit a major milestone! Over 1,000 listens for the pod!
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, to everyone who has listened in or been kind enough to join me on an episode. This means more to me than you know!
#LexGo
💚
This move makes the league feel more legitimized instead of an afterthought in the depths of ESPN+. This could be huge for the growth of the USL and the sport.
Versatility. Tenacity. Indefatigability.
Our newest defender,
@ackonebenezer3
has it all and he’s ready to wear opposing attackers OUT.

It’s been a blast getting to write up a profile for all of Lexington Sporting Club’s players so far! A reminder that if you missed any of them you can catch them through the link in my bio!
In the meantime, I’m going to take a breather. 😂
After all of the hype it’s finally here!
@LexSporting
Head Coach

This is an episode you truly don’t want to miss!

Surprises don’t often make it to the intended date in my household. My wife and boys surprised me for Father’s Day early with this sweet cooler! You already know I had to slap a
@LexSporting
sticker on it!
It genuinely makes me happy to see everyone on here that loves soccer doing something to spread that love. Whether you are producing a pod, writing, or just on here interacting in a way that brings positivity to the soccer community, I appreciate you. Have a rad weekend everyone!
First pro league start.
First pro league goal.
First-team performance.

If you haven’t had the chance to check out the first episode of the Crane Kicks Lex Podcast it’s now available on Apple and Google Podcasts, as well as Spotify!
If you loved the World Cup I want to encourage you to go out and support some local soccer this upcoming season. So many talented high school and collegiate soccer programs in and around Lexington. Oh, and we can’t forget the arrival of our pro team!
This team fought hard in our last preseason game and should be proud of the hustle and effort they showed. Next week we go for real! All gallop no brakes! 😤🐎💚
Pretty cool outline of Founders Club benefits for
