Keith Madison gives Montgomery County baseball fans a pep talk about not complaining on the Coaches. I think the meeting was a little to late since the complaining parents ran coach Gene Combs off because their son wasn't playing and he didn't listen to an AD on who to play. I was told that only a handful of parents attended the meeting with Madison. I'm told their is around 8 applicants who has put in for this basebakk job. Why would anyone want to coach at a school where the Administration has fired most of the coaches and teachers? I'm also told that all the principles were fired or resigned because Superintendent Josh Powell does not want Teachers or Principles who has more knowlege of education than him.

 

Powell brings his buddy Gene Heffington in to be the Schools Athletic Director at a salary of $85,000 a year.

 

Heffington first order of business was to hire a boys Basketball Coach. He chose Tony Wise who coached at Franklin County HIgh School. Wise came in and didn't play politics and played the players he felt would best fit his system. Wise just won 23 games and ended up losing to Mayson County in the semifinals of the 10th Region Tournament. Wise was fired at the end of the season.

 

Why hire a guy when you knew all along that Happy Osborn was wanting to come back to Central Kentucky and their was a good possibility that Happy would take the job in 2012? Now Tony Wise is sitting at home without a job wondering what he did wrong. Tony Wise is a very good coach and will get another job.

 

Montgomery County baseball team win 22 games this season with one SR and the rest of the players are Juniors and Sophomores.

 

Combs was told numerous times by the AD to play the son who's mother was an employee with the Montgomery County School system ( Superintendent secretary ).

 

I'm told that a few parents who's child didn't get to play any wrote letters all season complaining about anything Combs said or did while on the baseball diamond and they would not sign their names to the letters.

 

Some of the kids would run straight home and tell the parents that combs cursed or said something out of the way to a player Combs wasis trying to get the players better.

 

KBS is trying to get copies of these letters so the truth will get out. Combs got so tired of having to defend himself to Heffington that he said something that he said he would never say and that was " I Quite" Heffington clearly knows nothing about athletics and needs to be removed from his position or destroy MCHS Athletics even more than he already have.

 

Combs is very Close to 400 victories in his career and in my opinion one of the best coaches in the state. He will land on his feet again because a lot of schools that is interested in hiring Combs don't let disgruntled parents run their athletic department.

 

Coaches stay away from this School because these parents will do anything to get you fired if you don't play the right kids. The administration is dangerous and is the laughing stock of the state. Stay away unless you want to destroy your career.

Who is the new coach at Montgomery?

Who is the new coach at Montgomery?

 

Nobody yet. At least that I'm aware of.

I'm told they have interviewed 3-4 guys but not anyone who has the credentials to be a good hire. I did hear a coach was interested in the job who would absolutely stun this baseball crazy state if he was hired. I don't think it will happen because of financial reasons because MCHS won't pay to get a top notch Coach.

Well they paid to get Happy Osborne for basketball. They got UPike's men's soccer coach to leave Pikeville to coach girls soccer. Right now, anything is possible

Seems with all the problems at Montgomery Co. that you would let your son play there.

Who's son is playing?
