The Boone Co. job has been accepted by Wayne Huff. Wayne posted a 14-15 record as the head coach at Silver Grove last year. Though I wish Wayne luck, I am certainly surprised that Boone Co, a 6A school went with a relatively unknown 1A school. What will his toughest challenges be?

This will be one of the smartest hires in the area. Wayne is the real deal and is excellent. He did things with noting to work with at Silver Grove. Wayne will be a 24/7 baseball guy for Boone and will have them contending rather quickly. Other schools failed to take advantage of this guy and they will regret it.

I missed it. What happened to their old coach?

He became the Athletic Director at Cooper

Where did he come from (experience)

He will do a great job @ Boone Co. He did a very good job @ Silver Grove the past couple of seasons where he hasn't had that great of talent. Last year he had two really good ball players on the squad and finished one game under .500. His team lost to Campbell County in the district tournament by 2 runs in a game that Silver Grove actually outplayed Campbell. He knows how to get the best out of squads that aren't that good so he can do great things with squads that have 10-12 good ball players on it. He will be able to decide what players will be playing varsity baseball this year instead of having to take what he was givin' @ Silver Grove. I know he is very excited about this job and he can't wait to get things rolling. I also know that Silver Grove would like to thank Wayne for all the things he did at the school. While he was there his whole heart was there and he always gave 110%. I think you could ask any coach that Silver Grove has played against and they would tell you that he did a great job with such a small school and he deserves an opportunity like the one that he has recieved at Boone Co.

Bad hire in my opinion and the Rebels will find out sooner than later.

Why?

The preverbial axe to grind????? If it's a bad hire, at least give everyone a reason why it is.

Wasn't this one week after CC beat them 21-0 and CC pitched a JV pitcher. I wouldn't put a lot of credence into what he did in the District game as a guage, I think it was more complacency by the Camels and "looking ahead" that made that a close game.

 

Where did he coach prior to Silver Grove? What other experience does he have. Again, this is a big commitment for a 6A school to take a 1A school coach with minimal experience.

Wow, what a jump! I've seen Wayne coach at SG, and with not a whole lot of talent or staff, he seemed to keep his team in a lot of games. Wayne is a nice guy, but then I guess you have to be to keep your players. I can't wait to see how he handles his new position. This is indeed a gutsy move by BC. Anyone heard who the new AD at Boone is going to be?

Yes, CC had just beat them a couple weeks earlier by that score. The pitcher they threw wasn't a JV pitcher, I believe it was their #4 starter. They threw him again in the district tournament and removed him in the second or third inning. CC also had to bring in their #1 in that game to keep the Grove from scoring anymore runs. If it was for a grand slam hit in late in the game by CC then Silver Grove would've been playing in the district finals instead of CC. If you have seen him coach then you would understand why he was giving this job. As I have already said, he gives 110% every season. Do not be surprised to Boone competing this year with some of the better teams. Go watch a game or two this season and you'll see why he got this job and the opportunity.

It's actually great news if he can be successful. We all know that "1A" jobs for the most part are stepping stones to a bigger school (bigger salary), but this just seemed such a big jump for a 6A school to take on someone with minimal experience. It's easy to say that Coach got everything out of his players, but for how long has he proven that he can "get everything out of his players". I wish him nothing but luck, because it will prove that small school coaches can be successful if given the chance.

Can we truly bash a coach before he's had a chance to succeed or fail?
