Also, heard (????) he still lives in Campbell Co. and makes the 1 hour daily commute to Maysville via AA.

Pretty sure he lives in the Taylor Mill area.  I believe his kids participate in the TM Eagles organization.
Still not "just around the corner" from Maysville.  LOL

As far as younger coaches go, Joe Wynn would be a good choice.

Taylor Mill to Independence…..sweeeeetttt!

Joe would be an outstanding choice. I do think SK needs a young coach with head coaching experience. Joe fits that need. I'm sure Mason Co would hate to lose him.

He has done a great job in resurrecting the Royals’ program after a few down years.  Just guessing family first probably dictated that hour long tough commute up the AA.  10 minutes from Taylor Mill to Independence would be very attractive.  Go get him administration.

This was year 7 of him being a head coach, he is 55-27 with a trip to a state semi and he is in his early 30's.

At that age and that resume, you have to at least interview him. That's a potential long-term hire. 

Alot of good names but don't matter unless they have applied.

I have been told they won't start offical interviews until after the playoffs

A good sign. Hopefully it means they are interested in coaches still involved in post season playoffs with high performance programs.

Will they be able to bring their high performance players with them lol?

Bump. 

Does the name Nate Ponzer mean anything to anyone?

He graduated from Simon Kenton back around 2008 or 2009. Played guard on the hoops team and wideout on the football team. Coach Marksberry had him on his coaching staff for a handful of years prior to retiring. I'm not sure if Ponzer stayed on as an assistant under Coach Lucas or not.

Good to know - was just told “if he wants it, he’s got it.” How true that is, I’m unsure, but did come from former SK player that seems to keep up with the program.

I had a Simon Kenton teacher I know tell me back in the 2020/21 offseason after Marksberry had retired that they were pretty sure Ponzer applied for the job in that go-around. If he's still on the football staff at Simon Kenton now I'd think he may well be a top candidate unless the Troy Roberts and Principal Reinhart decide they want to go look for an entirely new direction.
