Coach Thompson has stepped down to take over the program at Paducah Tilghman.

Not a bad job. Crittenden County is always on the 1A/2A borderline; playing in 1A is much more appealing than 2A (Mayfield, Murray, Owensboro Catholic). The 1A district is always winnable, although Russellville and Fulton County have had some good moments. Crittenden has played well in recent years against western Kentucky schools but have struggled in the late rounds of the state tournament. Is there enough talent annually to get over the hump?

Coach Thompson did a very good job at CC.  They have developed some quality players the last couple of years.  With the talent that is coming back, I say they are still favorite in their respective district.  Whomever steps in should have a good base to work with to try to take this program to the next level.

I’d assume the DC Gaige Courtney gets first crack at this job. Hometown guy who has done great in building that defense.

They need a proven experienced coach. This is a top program and the fan base will not tolerate mediocrity!

Any news coming out of Marion on this hire?
