Hehe... coached, my last high school game was at the tail end of the Clinton administration.

Their best player transferred to another school and Montgomery has not been the same since.

Montgomery County has named Dustin High the new girls coach. He’s been an assistant coach for the Montgomery County boys for a number of years including including most recently their JV coach. His father, John High, was a highly successful girls coach for Whitesburg, Breathitt Co, and Montgomery County.
