Mr. Sixer

STRONGLY AGREE!! He's the first call that should be made and given the first right of refusal!! Knowing him for almost 30 years and watching his interaction with players from AAU to HS, I would say he would be an excellent HS head coach and continue building on SK's success! Having 2 elite level kids doesn't hurt either 🙂

I would say based on this, the new AD and Walton-Verona administration got it right...

Coach Pence is a great hire and I won't be surprised if this is a job that he will retire from. Gary has put in the work and been under the tutelage of Coach Borchers and surrounded by great staff for over 10 years so I am sure he will mirror what he has learned at Cooper. Wishing coach the best of luck in locking up his staff and having a good inaugural season and success in the future!

Never say Never…..

Great opportunity for Coach Pence and the Walton community. Coach Pence is young and hungry and also has some great experience under Randy Borchers on running a program. Best of luck to Coach Pence and the Bearcats.

I would say Sully would have no love for this job to begin with so that feeling would be mutual. Definitely agree with your comment on the Listerman family. That departure was not pretty.

Completely agree. Sully would be the top candidate as he’s a proven winner, and being the only local coach to have beaten CCH 3 times in a row, so he knows how to squeeze the most out of his players. However, in spite of whatever may be taking place at Cooper, he does have a strong nucleus coming back next season with Andy Johnson and the Combs and Pouncy brothers. I see this job getting filled by someone outside the NKY area IMO.

Sully has a retirement issue he would strongly have to think about I would imagine for this job.

Spot on. Additionally, I don’t think there is the mystic of CCH not being able to be beaten like they’ve had in the past over so many. Teams are becoming more competitive or beating them. You’re spot on in that, time will tell.

Interesting. There’s only 1 basketball but I’m sure Snapp has a plan if true.

Couldn't agree more! Coach Pence has certainly put in the work from ground up. Great freshman head coach, varsity QB coach, ST coordinator and now is working on the defensive side of the ball as well this season under Coach Borchers as well as being surrounded by a well established experienced coaching staff for years. Great candidate if Coach Pence is interested and stil young and won't be going anywere for a very long time.

It's not just Beechwood, it's the entire NKY area which is a good thing after so many years of our outstanding athletes being looked over. There's always been talent here in NKY it's just that for many years it's gone unnoticed. All the schools should keep up the good work!!

Looks like you have some good intel. Dixie or Sully not interested or both?

Congratulations! Always good to get one of your own to come home and judging by everything I have read hear it looks like this is WIN #1 for Holmes! Good Luck Coach!

Coach Sully is going to do well wherever he’s at and for now that’s at Cooper. In spite of all the rhetoric, you have to respect the fact that he’s got an excellent core at Cooper in Johnson, Brown and both the Combs brothers. If for some reason that doesn’t continue and he ends up at Dixie or anywhere else, he’s going to find a way to win because he gets kids to play hard and compete!
