Hazard starts this season under a new coach with several key players now gone after transferring elsewhere, including their starting QB and top receiver. It will be interesting to see what Coach Amis is able to make happen with the Bulldogs in 2026.

Announcement is forthcoming. Coach Covin is a 1998 North Hardin grad and a member of the NHHS Hall of Fame class of 2023. He played college football at Morehead State University prior to enlisting in the Army. Covin currently works on base at Fort Knox, runs a mentorship and guidance nonprofit called F.I.S.T. (Fighting Individual Situations Together), and takes over the HFC job at Fort Knox after being head coach at TK Stone Middle School in the Elizabethtown Independent School District. Congratulations and good luck to Coach Covin and the Eagles!

Assuming he's son of former Manual & Fern Creek head coach Joe Nichols?

From Justin Nichols & Fern Creek High School: JUSTIN NICHOLS FERN CREEK HEAD FOOTBALL COACH As a proud alum of Fern Creek High School, I am truly honored to be named Head Coach of a program that means so much to me. Fern Creek is home, and it has played a major role in shaping me into the man I am today. Fern Creek Football exists to build pride within the Fern Creek and FCHS community by developing resilient, determined young men who graduate prepared for the next phase of their lives. I believe the head coach sets the tone for the entire program. I am committed to leading with integrity, energy, and professionalism. With six seasons of experience working in the school and with this team, I am confident in my ability to lead a coaching staff, collaborate effectively with school administrators, and engage positively with parents and the broader community.

Per another thread on BGP.

I was tipped off that the job had been posted to Ludlow Independent Schools' employment portal on February 3rd. With no apparent word coming from Ludlow High School, I'm not sure if this is an actual open job, or if this is just a formality to enable Coach Woody McMillen to retire from teaching while remaining on as head football coach for the Panthers.

The Webster County Football page on MaxPreps currently lists Scotty Vance as the Trojans head coach. Is that news, or is MaxPreps just 12-years behind the times?
