February 13, 201610 yr Pike County student claims high school coach hit him in the face Wow! I hope this is not true.
February 13, 201610 yr Very interesting stuff coming out of Shelby Valley. I have contacted people from both sides on this matter and heard reports that seem consistent, but again they are just reports and opinions of what was seen. Hopefully this does not get ugly for the 15th Region. Potential charges and possible litigation are currently in motion so I wont comment any further on the situation until all sides have had a chance to tell their story and evidence reviewed. I do know Shelby Valley had a game scheduled with Jenkins this evening and it was dropped off the KHSAA schedule earlier in the day so make what inferences you will. The outcome of the game did determine that Pikeville will get the #1 seed in the 59th District tournament and play Piarist in the first round at East Ridge. Shelby Valley will play East Ridge in the first round. Should be a great matchup in the 2/3 game. Congratulations to Pikeville and Coach Bart Williams on securing the regular season district title and almost guaranteed spot in the regional tournament.

February 15, 201610 yr Author I'm told by multiple sources that no punches were thrown and allegations are at the very least exaggerated.
February 15, 201610 yr I'm told by multiple sources that no punches were thrown and allegations are at the very least exaggerated. Really surprised no video has surfaced. That probably means "nothing to see."

February 15, 201610 yr That the same Hicks that was at Greenup Co about 6-8 years ago ?Yes. Seriously, is anyone surprised that this stuff follows him? It's everywhere he's been.
February 15, 201610 yr He has a nice right hook , and left uppercut ... I saw him throwing those at an imaginary referee at GC on the sidelines .... LOL
February 16, 201610 yr Author Since this was at a game, surely people saw something. As I said, people saw nothing.
February 16, 201610 yr Yes. Seriously, is anyone surprised that this stuff follows him? It's everywhere he's been. I think coaches and players had to separate him and Lee County's former coach following a game in Beattyville last year. I know a little about Hicks since his first high school head coaching job was a our school. He was there for one year and left for Greenup County. I'm not going to say much about him except to say he was a very intense bench coach, rarely sitting down, and continuely screaming and shouting at the refs and the team. From what I saw at the All A state tournament he hasn't changed. He had his good points and bad. He was a very hard worker but just a little over the top in the intensity department. Really got amped up during games.
