It is my understanding that Kyle Bennett has stepped down as the boys coach at Walton to become the AD at the school. Kyle is a great guy and I am sure he will do a great job. I have heard three names at this point from someone very close to the program, the favorite is Dan Trame who is currently the JV Girls coach, another possiblity would be Dan Sullivan but he would have to be willing to go back to the classroom and give up his asst. princ. job heard he is very interested but not sure the administration would make that move. Several people are very interested in trying to bring Steve Wright back from South Laurel. If I were a betting person I would put money on Danny Trame. Thoughts...

No offense, but I would think there is a 0.01% chance of that happening. Wright just has too good of a thing going at South Laurel. He can annually win regional titles, and state titles aren't out of the realm of possibility. You can't do that at Walton.

Agree totally, just passing on some wishful thinking...

Congrats to Kyle for a great coaching career.

I think there will be pretty good interest. Walton has probably the best 7th grade team in the state. They have a lot of talent in the underclassmen. Danny Trame would be a good fit, but I don't know his ties there. I would think going young would be the way to go.

Wow...didn't see this coming. I wish Kyle nothing but the best in the future. Have had the opportunity to deal with him on many occasions over the past 10 years or so. Nothing but class. You'll be missed Coach!

I think Dan Trame would be a very good choice. I cant see how Dan Sullivan would be able to do it, doesnt he coach like every team in 4th-7th grade. Either one would be a nice addition. I cant see Steve Wright coming back to NKY to coach the Bearcats as he has a nice situation down in SL and they have some nice young talent coming up down there as well.

I do know that former Holmes Coach Mike Flynn is back in the N.Ky area. Also heard he is wanting to Coach again.

Walton never appreciated Coach Bennet. They criticized and criticized. His team always performed well in the All 'A and outside the All 'A' he made it to the regional tournament several times and beat top teams in the area. Walton fans always complained about him though.

Last I saw that guy he was refereeing an 8th grade game for Holmes and he was just awful.

Oh, no offense at all taken for throwing the younger and very talented Bearcats from Walton under the bus. "You can't do that at Walton"? Maybe in the past that has been the case but I have seen these younger teams play and I understand they have built a development feeder program that is top notch. Careful what you say. If you ask me, contending for a regional championship is exactly what the Bearcats will be doing for the next several years. The only thing I agree with you on is your percentage rating of Wright coming back to Walton.

He is.

 

He does.

You got it. No way that Wright leaves SL for the WV job. The only job I know that tempted him several years ago was GRC and he turned that down to stay in Laurel County.

Probably why he wants to Coach.

WV is currently not looking outside the school. They are looking to fill from the current administration if possible. I have heard from a good source that Dan Trame will be offered the job, not sure if he wants it though.
