Oville Baller

I am surprised he isn't transferring from the Hargrave Senior Center. How old is this kid? I have heard he might be a little old to still be in high school.

Mark Collier is the new coach. He was assistant for GRC.

He (LeMaster) could have been interested. Doesn't mean he would get it. I was told the other finalist was Shelby Valley coach Jordan Compton.

Mason Co has only won 3 region games since 2006. Seems like he coached right up to par.

Hearing Shane Simpkins will be named new Pikeville High School Baseball coach.

Who will be the 4th new coach in the last 5 years?

Heard Roger Newton has been offered the job. Anyone confirm if he has accepted?

Bath County is playing at the Hoosier Gym next season vs Louisville Collegiate.

Nothing would surprise me from that school system. I hope it has gotten better since the Tim Moore days.

He has been doing the scheduling for next season.

Bath County (18-3, 4-0) travels to Morehead for a big 61st district doubleheader with Rowan County (20-5, 3-0). Should be two good ones. Who you got?

All the Feldhaus coaches were contacted and turned it down. Also Tim Sullivan from Cooper and he wasn't interested either. Doesn't sound like top coaches want to deal with really high expectations with a talent pool that has dropped below Scott, Campbell, Clark, Paris etc.

Beat you to it.

Opening just posted for Betsy Layne High School in the 15th Region.

I am hearing the following teams will play at Bath County's Christmas Tournament next season. The name of the tournament last season was the CSI Classic. Bath County Johnson Central Adair County Lewis County East Carter Estill County Russell Anderson County This tournament will definitely be worth keeping an eye on if Zion Harmon is still at Adair County. Some say it is a longshot, with many thinking he will transfer to a prep school. Still a pretty competitive field.

It could be a "Life changing job" for a coach.

There are rumors floating around about candidates but I think the biggest question is who would want to move to Ashland to put up with those people? Honestly??

I've heard that Shelby Valley boys coach Jim Hicks has taken the girls job at Shelby Valley. I've heard from several people that says this is happening.

I've heard Jim Hicks....... seriously.

Greenup County's Harold Tackett has decided to retire at the end of the school year. Who jumps out at you for this job?

This one is tough to call. If Spencer Pergrem can't get shots the Wildcats will have a tough go of it even though junior Jake Porter has been playing his best basketball of the season. Raceland's Riley Potter and Travis Weaver have dropped off in scoring as of late and have been very streaky. Freshman Kirk Pence might be the Rams best player but how many times can you depend on a freshman to win you a region game? If the Wildcats can hit good shots and get second chance points they should revenge their earlier All A Championship game defeat. I'll take Bath County to win 61-56 for their 2nd win in a region game in 41 years.

I would say Ashland has been a favorite all season in the 16th region and after losing to Boyd(the co-favorite) they drew Morgan County. Morgan County is 25-5 and loves to play up and down. Will be a wild one for sure.

I don't know if officiating had a lot to do with a 29pt loss.

I would be really surprised if Bath won by double digits. Menifee has player of the year in Dalton Barnett and a bunch of kids that will shoot it at will. I'll take Bath by 8 but I would expect it to be a war.
