Eddie Whitaker resigns from Bell Co.

I don't know you'd get to Hazard from Pineville. If you went through Barbourville and Manchester, I guess you could make it an hour and a half.

 

If Whitaker moved, his son would probably be eligible. If he didn't move, it would be tougher.

I think this coming year will be its first year in existence wont it? I may be wrong.

 

I would imagine as long as Whitaker moves back to Whitesburg, it shouldnt be a problem for Josh to get eligible. Thats a pretty solid reason for transferring.

 

 

You've been in Lexington too long. The school has been open for two years.

I am thinking closer to 2 1/2 hours. Maybe that is b/c the only times I've made that trip its been on a bus.

 

It's quicker if you go up Route 66 and take the road to Hyden not too far past Red Bird High School. That's the best way to go from Pineville to Hazard. When you get to Hyden you get on the Hal Rogers Parkway. That route is probably less than 1 1/2 hours.

He probably wouldn't leave Barbourville, but I have a hard time understanding why someone doesn't go after the highly sucessful Dinky Phipps. He would be a tremendous coach at a large school, considering what he has accomplished at a school with an enrollment of 200.

Are you listening Harlan County Bears?

Through Cary, over Arjay mountain and through Beverly and Queendale? I wouldn't think you could make that trip in much under 90 minutes. Of course you could make a rest stop at the Hwy 66 Chicken Fighting arena at Big Creek on the way.

Yep. And I'm about to get even farther away. My bad.

Who is the coach?

Morris stated that he would love to go back to that area and he is a tremendous coach.

 

Did Jennifer Hilton play ball at Alice Lloyd or am I thinking of someone else?

Yes Jennifer did play at ALC.

I heard that Billy D was playing golf with Dudley SAturday in Pineville. So look for Billy D. to be the next coach. :lol: :lol:

He also is looking at a horse farm in Bell County as well. ;)

Lots of those. :rolleyes:

I bet he is looking around in Frakes. :laugh:

I am hearing Whitaker was going to be given his walking papers if he didnt resign, so sounds like there is something else to this.

He got an award for 13th region coach of the year at the state tournament. It's tough to get rid of a guy that got any kind of coach of the year award.

 

Anybody have any idea what happened with Gambrel. I spoke with him at the boys state tournament, and he didnt act like anything was up.

I thought you needed a helicopter to get from Pineville to Hazard. Whitaker must have something in the works.

Whitaker has been rumored to be headed anywhere from Hazard to Williamsburg. Where ever he lands, he and the youngest son will be fine. I hope he gets close to the Lake so he can enjoy some fishing as well.

Good Luck to Coach Whittaker, I think Bell may be in the same boat as Kentucky...the Devil you know may be better than the devil you don't know, A bird in the hand and all that stuff. Bell will miss his winning ways.

I expect Bell to drop a notch in the region next year with Coach Whitaker and his son gone. Wherever they land will jump a notch or two.
