15thSportsFan Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 There are some good coaches here in the mountains. In the 14th, if you go by past results and accomplishments, you have to say: Hammonds(Knott) Meehan(Hazard) Dixon(Perry) Those are about the best over there.......they coach a lot alike too. Good coaches with the fundamentals. Any opinions?
Lightning Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 Bryan Dean and Gene Combs are two of the better coaches as well.
GreenMachine Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 I agree Brain Dean and Gene Combs are two that would be hard to beat.
GreenMachine Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 Not saying that the ones mentioned above are not they are. IMO
15thSportsFan Posted January 23, 2006 Author Posted January 23, 2006 Did Dean ever win the region?? Combs......I don't know about that. THey are good on occasion, but not consistantly. but they are good.
Learker Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 Combs has one regional tournaments (2 I think), one for sure. Dean has failed to, yet.
Lightning Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 Lee Co. has been one of the top teams in the region for the last few years. They have won the region twice under Combs and could possibly win it this year.
EARLE Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 Russell Melton, Leslie County does a great job. #1 seed in the 54th 3 of the last 4 years. Regional runner-up 2003, lost in the semi-finals last year 5-4. Leslie County has to be one of the favorites to win the region in 2006 (8 returning starters). They have been in the thick of things for the past five years.
Lightning Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 You are right. Melton has done a great job at Leslie and will have one of the top teams, if not the top team this season.
KIDS FAN Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 Meehan,Combs,Hammonds,Dixon in no particular order. They are the top 4 without question. The rest are all just grouped together. Mr. Wood at Estill will soon join that group of regional title winners.
KIDS FAN Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 Regional titles PC20. You can't take those away from him. He probably has more wins and regional titles than anyone in the 14th with the exception of Hammonds and Meehan.
15thSportsFan Posted January 24, 2006 Author Posted January 24, 2006 If you had a team with Hammonds as the head coach and Dixon coaching first base, you'd have maybe the best staff in the state.
Powerhitter Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 How many regions does Hammonds have? 4 or 5? Dixon and Meehan have 3. Gene Combs has 2.
EARLE Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 How many regions does Hammonds have? 4 or 5? Dixon and Meehan have 3. Gene Combs has 2. I think Hammonds has won 6, last coming in 1993. He won four in five years from 1989-1993, with the 1991 team winning the sectional tournament and reaching the final four. Coach Combs, Hazard had a string of regional titles in the mid-'90s with his 1995 team winning the sectional and reaching the final four too. I think Meehan helped him then.
