theguru 15,941 Posted February 4 Awesome! Congrats Highlands, congrats Coach Sphire. I don't see this as a home run hire by Highlands, I see this as a grand slam hire by Highlands. 14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheDeuce 15,444 Posted February 4 IMO, this is a better hire than the person everyone thought "should" be the guy... The guy that I said wasn't coming. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WestDanville 625 Posted February 4 I see you Highlands. This is one heck of a hire! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
THUNDERBIRDS 114 Posted February 4 I was told by a very close credible source for many years now......Bob would only come back to Kentucky to coach and for only 1 job......Highlands! There's your answer if the program is still relevant or not. Thank you Bob! How about the Highlands Admins for this hire. Yes, Matt Bertasso is the Man....Again! 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hard Work 17 Posted February 4 Congratulations to Highlands and Coach Sphire. Looks like they landed on their feet! If he can do what we did at Lex Cath they should be in state finals in the next few years. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
