The Lexington Herald Leader reported yesterday that Henry Clay head football coach Phillip Hawkins has been placed on administrative leave. FCPS would not comment further. I hope everything is okay he is a good stand up guy.

    I think that was in July but he has not been with the team since then I believe.

    Right, so either his employer is hanging him out to dry for no reason or it is not good.

    His employer does not have the most stellar track record in the last few months in a myriad of issues.

    So who is the acting HC?

    Yahoo Sports has the HL article mirrored on their site.

    Evidently Matthew Amburgey stood in for Hawkins on a couple of preseason shows, he's the OC and QB coach. During Glicod's preseason show on Aug 5 Amburgey apparently said that he was standing in for Hawkins due to illness and during Prepspin's preseason show on Aug 17 there wasn't any direct mention of Hawkins's status but Amburgey spoke in a manner that implied that Hawkins was still head coach.

    The article says that the FCPS confirmed on Aug 17 that Hawkins has been placed on administrative leave and the team's Arbiter page currently shows Phillip Hawkins and Timothy McCoy both listed as head coach.

    Here is the link to a Herald Leader article. It basically says he has been charged with a misdemeanor of distributing obscene material to minors. He is scheduled to appear in court on September 21. Hawkins in the article denies the allegations and says he will be exonerated.
