    My Dad was the coach at Mercer, 74-77. I played against them 79-82. In 82, they were really good... Mike Jones, Tommy Covey & Chris Winkler were STUDS!

    And...don't get me started on the Wisemans. At the coin toss, thought we were playing 30 year old men. Those guys could play and were TOUGH as nails. 

    Prayers for Coach Niece's family. Thank you for sharing him with all of us. KY HS Football is much better because of him.

    I believe he coach me in the Ky/Tenn All Star game. Dudley Hilton was the HC of the team for that year in 94’. Can anyone confirm if he was on that coaching staff that year? Super nice guy!
