Great Story Wireman

I have a somewhat "unique" perspective of the Elliot County boys, especially what I refer to as the ""F" troop. Faulkner, Faulkner, and Ferguson. I have coached against them, and I have had the unique pleasure of actually coaching them this summer against some of the best players in the country. Looking back on it, on paper, they won some games they had no business winning, but they and their teammates did win, (in spite of the coaching) I guess because they didn't know any better. I talked to a college coach that said he liked Kentucky players because they were often just "tougher" than kids from other states. These kids embody that "toughness" he was talking about. People are not drawn to them because of their overwhelming athletic ability.They are drawn to them because of their overwhelming ability to overachieve. To overcome the odds no matter what they go up against, and I have never seen them

get "beat" , I have only seen them "run out of time". When this season is over, they will indeed go down as "unforgettables". And I totally understand

why Coach Mays will tell you he was a lucky man to get to coach this bunch of kids. I feel the same way about the short summer we spent together along with 6 other guys who just left it on the floor almost every time out.

These guys are just WINNERS! No matter what the scoreboard ends up saying.

Thanks for the memories guys:thumb:

 

I had the opportunity this summer to see many of the games and I consider it a blessing and all part of this incredible ride. I know they are fun to watch and I'm sure a coach's joy to coach. These kids have such positive attitudes both on and off the court. I agree that they are overachievers who defy the odds and quit is not in their vocabulary. They are role models for all the young Lions coming behind them and I'm sure they will make huge impacts in the community many years after they graduate. By the way, it has been good seeing you at many of the games this year. I know you love those young men and are pulling for them each night out. They capture a special place in one's heart for us all.
