Shelby Valley is announcing Jim Hicks as the new coach.

Grant's County's ineptness is Shelby Valley's gain.

At least for a couple years anyway. Track record shows he doesn't spend much time anywhere. Why does he move around so much?

Can't speak for previous moves. However, the buzz I heard on this move, was that it'd take his family closer to his in-laws, and that the school system had a place for his wife too (who I believe is a music teacher). Whether that's competely accurate, I don't know.

Interesting to say the least, as Pike Co. has a hiring freeze on and layoffs are a possibility.

Jim is a fine coach. Best of luck.

I hope Shelby valley wins it all next year,and sends Grant the trophy because we are the ones that won the dang thing for y'all!and then the grant administration should be ashamed! Starting with this lady called Herald and maybe a man called Livin'Good! Since Grant paid for his schooling!

That's all folks see ya at Rupp!

No chance Valley wins with this guy in charge....will not last long in Eastern Ky, as his personality will not work in Pike Co., should be glad to see him move on from Grant Co., cannot win and officials will not take his mouth on the floor....

Jim Bob is not afraid to step on toes. However, the kids that stay with him usually love him and stand by him. I think Shelby Valley will tolerate him if he wins. My take on mountain schools is they want to win. If he wins, they will spoil him and adore him. If he loses, they will not hesitate to fire him. It has been well documented on BGP that he plays a soft schedule. He will be judged at SV based on end of year results, not his record. He better win the region in the next two years or he will be moving again.

Does SV have the talent to win the region this year?

Johnson Central is the clear favorite to win the 15th again. SV, along with a few others, have the talent to compete with them. SV hasn't gotten the most of their talent the last couple of years so hopefully Coach Hicks can turn things back in a positive direction...

He is worth the price of admission just watching him on the sidelines.

The officials in the 15th will love him.
