All State Baseball Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 so with the news that long time Pirate head coach, Chris Varney, taking the job at Montgomery County, who gets the Pirate job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All State Baseball Posted June 23, 2017 Author Share Posted June 23, 2017 I can confirm it is indeed true. Varney has taken the job at Montgomery County, leaving Powell county looking for a new head coach. Could a mod please remove the "Rumor" part of the thread title?

lp1 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Not posted yet on Powell website, so a little early to speculate n a replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All State Baseball Posted June 23, 2017 Author Share Posted June 23, 2017 Not posted yet on Powell website, so a little early to speculate n a replacement. Talked with another district coach and he had told me that Varney did indeed take the job at Montgomery County, so yes Varney is at Montgomery, leaving Powell County open and searching for a new head coach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All State Baseball Posted June 23, 2017 Author Share Posted June 23, 2017 I have also heard that this may not be the only 14th region job that comes open....couple of them could be huge... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2-3-Zone Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Going to be hard to replace Varney, in Stanton I think. The guy knows how to win games. Lets hear, whose leaving in the 14th? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have heard that Knott is open (several different sources saying same thing), Have heard Breathitt is open...yet again and have heard that Leslie County is either open or could be open.

All State Baseball Posted July 5, 2017 Author Share Posted July 5, 2017 I've heard it's Gene Combs' if he wants it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bigdog Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 If Coach Combs decides to stay in the 11th they should take a shot at Larry "Scooter"Charles. He's done a great job at Bracken and will keep Powell competitive in the 14th for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baseballinmyblood Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Im so confused on why you keep pushing this guy on every thread where a job is open? He graduated from Phelps if I'm not mistaken? I can't imagine him knowing too much about building a program. From what I can tell the whole time he's been at Bracken County he's never even won 20 games.

Pi Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Im so confused on why you keep pushing this guy on every thread where a job is open? He graduated from Phelps if I'm not mistaken? I can't imagine him knowing too much about building a program. From what I can tell the whole time he's been at Bracken County he's never even won 20 games. I'd guess you haven't spent much time around the Bracken Co. Program. If memory serves he was 16th region COY at Elliott Co. before he came to Bracken, at a time when they weren't winning 5 games a year. He's built a team that competes year in and year out with the athletes they have, has won multiple district titles, and is improving on a daily basis. If you're not interested in him as baseball coach, you clearly "don't know much about building a program," as you said. He's the kind of guy you want coaching your kids.

The Professor Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Powell Is traditionally a good baseball school. And with over 700 enrollment have a good size to stay competitive in the 14th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baseballinmyblood Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I stand corrected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandit29 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Before Scooter got to Bracken they could barely compete with anyone. Since he has been steering the ship they are competing with everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bigdog Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I guess you know now why I push him so I'll keep from repeating Pi. I've watched, competed, and became good friends with Coach Charles and mainly because of the respect I've gained for him due to what he's accomplished at Bracken. By the way, I haven't pushed him on the West Carter thread yet, that would be a great fit for him as well. He may be the man to take the Brown boys farther than they went this year!
