Now that we have had some of the coaching vacancies hammered out and we are approaching the end of the school year, are we feeling any differently on this region? Is DCA now even more of an unknown with a coach that is stepping into a Central Kentucky job for the first time? Is the 46th a complete tossup or will Mercer run away with it? What can we expect from Wayne County's Post-Coach-Woods-Era?

Yeah, this has to be Paul Wiggins' job if he wants it. Is Brossart on the schedule this year? That would be fun.

Could we get the brothers back on the sidelines together then at Dixie? Is that realistic? And if either wants the job I got to think that they would be the frontrunner. Hard to top Mike's resume and Scott has two head coaching stops with a ton of assistant experience underneath that.

So there has been a tradition established that once a year Holmes wears the jersey of the old Lincoln-Grant High School, the all Black segregated high school in Covington. When desegregation happened, they closed the high school portion and those kids joined Holmes.

I cannot restate this enough - parents are the worst part of coaching.

Just to confirm, you are counting Brossart losing to Holmes this past season as part of his 0-2, correct? When he was an assistant for a Brossart team with one of the most depleted rosters in recent school history? Does not seem like a fair assessment to Sam, does it?

So I am welcome to anyone adding anything significant I am missing, but it appears her major highlights are that she was a standout at Holmes in the late 80s, was a star player at Old Dominion in the early 90s, played overseas, became an assistant at Holmes and eventually the head coach at Holmes, went to Old Dominion as an assistant, then came back home and is currently working with the Covington School District and Covington's Recreation Department.

Celeste Brockett has been named head coach.

What a big day for former Pendleton County coaches.

It is going to absolutely take some time for Sam to restore Holmes to contender status but I have some good reasons to be optimistic: - He “gets” the program/community about as good as anyone can, something that was sorely missed the last few years. - He has experienced both great failure and great success throughout his career and is built to keep the program moving forward during lean times. - For a team which as many losses as Holmes as experienced the past two years, to get a coach with head coaching experience at two places alongside the amazing coaching trees he is a part of as an assistant while still being under 40 is just an absolute home run.

It has been announced - Sam Elsbernd finally gets his chance at his alma mater.

Boys Varsity & JV Assistant and Freshmen Head Coach Trevor Steiner has been named the Girls Varsity Head Coach.

Long time middle school coach Laura Hall was named varsity coach today.

I think it is a great job for a first time coach like it was for Browning. But overall, no, if you are an established coach wanting to win and compete for regionals, this one isn't it. Getting out of the district alone is a tough ask anymore and I don't see that changing anytime soon. With all of that said, I cannot imagine a current head coach going for it. I would look at some of the younger, more ambitious assistants out there, maybe even some in house that don't go with Browning. You have some staffs shaken up right now at Conner, Dixie, and Grant etc... Could leave some quality assistants out there looking for that new step up.

As it should be.
