It won't be Harlan County.

 

I don't mean anything negative toward Woods with that statement. He's a very good coach.

 

If Woods did go to new Harlan Co. school he would get a lot of talented kids to pick from. They apparently want to get the best Coaches available and are willing to make the job attractive as evidenced by their hiring Tom Larkey from Rockcastle for their football team.

They did get the best one available with almost 500 wins and four regional championships.

I do not see Mr. Woods leaving Wayne Co. for another team in the 12th. Maybe a team in the 13th or 14th?

 

Coach Woods has a pretty good group of young kids coming through his Wayne progam right now and I think he would generally like his chances where he is. Even though the 12th has a lot of quality teams at the top of the heap, who would want to deal with Hazard right now in the 14th. They were runner-up in the All A to Hopson and U.H. and return everybody for the next year or two. They are also coached be Al Holland who has taken multiple teams to the state multiple times. The 13th would put him back in the position of having to annually go through Steve Wright and Roscoe Dennys' South Laurel teams that have been the most successful program in the 12th or 13th over the past several years. Why deal with that.

Sorry guys, I'm way behind on this one. I heard Coach Jones was the front-runner for the Harlan Co job but hadn't heard they had hired anyone.

I believe Jones has been hired, it just hasnt become "official" yet.
