There has been a thread on this topic for a few days

Toohey from Winchester has informed me that the Times Tribune reported that Williamsburg Coach, Nick Napier, has stepped down after three years at the helm for the Jackets. Napier was 14-16, 16-14 and 17-13 in his three seasons, never getting out of the district.

Union County 2013 graduate, Quaid Girten has been promoted from within to the new head coach of the Braves. Girten was an assistant for previous coach Shane Smith.

Terrance Brooks or Tony Wise is what I have heard.

According to Prep Hoops Kentucky twitter this evening a Multi Year five Star is enrolling to play for the Colonels. A lot of speculation is that it is 2023 Rayvon Griffin from Taft High School in Cincinnati.

Shane Smith has stepped down as head coach of the Braves. Not the ideal off season for Union County this year. Earlier in the spring they lost all-state caliber guard, Kale Gaither, to the KHSAA transfer portal as he moved to Madisonville North Hopkins. Now in mid- June Coach Smith steps down.

Ken Woods has resigned, this will be their third coach in three years.

That is the one I didn’t know for sure how they were divided up.

Nelson County Schools alone have five elementary schools and two middle schools along with the addition of Thomas Nelson ten years or so, they now have to get out and "sell their program to the kids" as they have choices. This isn't to mention Bardstown and Bethlehem High School in the city. The 5th region is an underrated region as they have two counties (Hardin and Nelson) that make up over half of the teams within the region. Outside of the 6th, 7th and 11th I assume that there isn't any other region can make that claim.

Coach Cooksey has stepped down as head of the Lady Eagles.

Bryce Riley will be a junior and was leading scorer last two seasons, Dayveon Livers also averaged double figures. Livers will be a senior.
