Good Morning! My name is Michael Worton and my family and I currently live in Houston, Texas. I'm the first assistant coach at Klein Oak High School, we're one of the best programs in the state, we were ranked #9 this year and went 30-4. I've been at Oak for 4 years now, but my family and I recently sold our home and are moving to Kentucky. I have three boys, 7th grade, 1st grade and kindergarten, and we know we can give them a better life there being able to buy more (land, house, etc..) for way less than you can in Texas. I'm from Indiana originally and I have some family who grew up in Danville, or I think as you guys would say, Boyle County?

I know it's really tough to get in the door, I know I'm not a Wildcat through and through, so I was just asking for some help. I've applied to everything that I can think of and that is available there, from assistant coach to head coach, from your available jobs to spamming district sites. I'm not trying to move twice lol I definitely don't want to move my 7th grader to a new school, make new friends and then move him again, so hopefully my next move is the last move.

I appreciate and very thankful for any and all help you can give. Here's my contact information as well:

Thanks in advance!

Well, I think you will find we're all big fans of the Bluegrass state here, and each and every one of us think where we live is superior! But, you're making a good choice, and we welcome you with open arms!

My recommendation would be to look in the big 3, NKY, Lexington or Louisville. There's a lot of flexibility there, where even if you end up working for a different school/district than your kids you wouldn't have to move.

Excellent! Thank you for the info!

Have you made any progress?

Talked to many coaches, I have a few interviews lined up, but I don't have anything official yet!
