Isn't Keith still at Pike Central, ATLCat?

 

I am not sure..Tribepride mentioned a Keith May above unless it is a different Keith May

 

I wonder if the Pike Central coaching hire last year may have caused him to leave.

Ok, I gotcha. I missed that in his post. Now I am curious as well.

HHS last lost was against Elder on October 24th.

 

Dang those 8A Florida teams and those Cincinnati GCL south football factories.

 

It worked out ok, state champs again.

3. Logan County - 23

 

If I ever win the lottery I'm going to move to Logan County and pouring money into that program to help them turn things around.

Hiring Steve Duncan last year would appear to be a good start. He did well at Murray and hopefully will see some improvement in year two at Logan. But they've been down for a long time. Their last winning season was in 2004 and they've only won two playoff games in their history (1998 - Union County; 2009 - Hopkins County Central). They've got a lot of work to do.

I'll echo those sentiments.

 

From all accounts Coach Allen is a top class guy and I would love to see him witness success as the HC. Even if it is something comparable to what Shelby Valley is in the midst of...to be able to revive some football tradition for an area desperately needing something positive right about now would be a great thing.

 

Is Keith May involved with the ER Feeder System?

 

Guy really helped Belfry for a number of years with his teams. He was the Head Coach that helped develop Doug Howard among many other well known Pirates.

 

You know when you mentioned Shelby Valley it kind of got me thinking a little bit. When we look back in the grand scheme of a historical prospective, how far away is East Ridge from teams like Pike Central or Shelby Valley? East Ridge is in its 14th season whereas Shelby Valley is going into its 27th season and Pike Central is going into its 23rd season. Shelby Valley just won its first district championship and Pike Central has yet to win one. The area has been downtrotted since the early 90's for a strong program, however Elkhorn City was always better than Virgie or Johns Creek, so the talent argument is sort of invalid. since 1959 until Pikeville's run in the 80's you could argue that Elkhorn City was just as strong of a program as Belfry or Pikeville. It's been 14 years since East Ridge opened their doors, but they have as much of a chance to win a district championship as Shelby Valley looking down the road a ways.

 

But that is enough of my historic bathtub moments. Keith May is a young guy who played at East Ridge from 2006 until 2010. He played and coached college ball with Dudley Hilton at Pikeville and has been at East Ridge since the 2013 season.

Hiring Steve Duncan last year would appear to be a good start. He did well at Murray and hopefully will see some improvement in year two at Logan. But they've been down for a long time.

I'm glad to hear it. I don't know much about the program other than they don't win very much and I have several friends who teach there and in the system.
