David Meadows is coming home.

Waiting to see if their candidate gets Douglass?

Michael Petrey is now the head coach.

Coach Brigance has been assistant now will take over as head coach of the Eagles.

The interim is not getting the job, may stay on as assistant but is not getting the job. A lot of names circulating for this one, coaches with state championships, coaches who have coached Mr. Basketballs and coaches who have coached undefeated regular seasons. Will be interesting to see if they go old or young.

Troy Lee Thomas as replacement or do they have someone else in mind?

Adam Farmer has been named the new coach of East Ridge High School.

Matthew Taylor has resigned to take over as coach of Shelby Valley.

Matthew Taylor comes to Valley from Letcher County Central. Letcher is now open.

Saxton is bumped up from interim to head coach for the Rocks.

That is great information was unaware of most of that. If he is the coach, I personally think that makes him pretty decent hire and he might be able to hold the roster in tact. Wayne County going into next year will be one of the top 2-3 teams in the 12th region if not the favorite. If Coach Woods had returned on the sidelines for 24-25, I believe most think they would have been the favorite.

They are hiring the assistant principal, he has no high school coaching experience but he will be the next coach, believe his name is Jarred Parmley.

They have no shortage on applicants from what I have heard. Setting up two out of state interviews to go along with 3-4 in state.

Winning

Jasper started and played essentially the whole game both games. In two games he went 4-24 from the field, 1-13 from three and had 1 assist in two games from the PG spot.

Allen County Scottsville is open and posted on the KHSAA site. The patriots haven’t seen a lot of success recently, they haven't won a regional title since 1996 and I don’t believe been in the championship since then either. The principal in Scottsville is from Hardin County, will he try to lure someone down 65 or take someone with 4th region connections.

I haven’t heard his name but it wouldn’t surprise me. Anytime can get a coach with a state championship on resume. I am surprised he would go to West at this stage considering they aren’t projected high in the 12th next season.

They have a phenomenal group of incoming 7th graders stacked with two good classes behind them who have dominated the area on the youth football scene. Whomever takes over this job if they can hold it, by their fourth year they will be competing for hardware and by their sixth year competing for a spot at Kroger field.

I believe this will be an internal hire for the Pirates as the middle school coach will be brought up to the high school level. They just graduated a good senior class and have a similar class or two coming up he has coached and had success with. Big Joe and the locals in Stanton are perplexed why the Pirates never contend for the region title while being one of the 3 largest schools within the 14th region.

I am surprised this one hasn’t been announced yet, should be early next week from what have heard. I have heard a lot of names on this one but seems the ones with most traction are Steve Adams, Kevin Burton, Michael Mendenhall and Jason Mosley.

Three names immediately come to mind for this one. 1.) Andrew Case, internal hire if he wants it this time. 2.) John Michael Reitz, dad was former coach there for years, he played there and also been head coach at Williamstown and Nicholas County. He was runner-up to Brooks last time for the position. 3.) Matthew Taylor - former player for the Breds, started on the last team who went to state from Cynthiana. Taylor was head coach at St. Pat and I believe elsewhere in the area at one time. Taylor is currently in Texas or Oklahoma so not sure if he would be interested in a return to the 10th region. Taylor also has college experience at UTEP.

Greenwood in 2008 is the last time someone other than Bowling Green or Warren Central won the region. Russellville in 2001 is the last time someone outside of the 14th district won the regional title. Glasgow has multiple internal individuals within the system whom could be strong candidates if they choose to apply. A former multi decade head coach boys and girls side, a former boys head coach and also a former UK player and Mr. basketball.

So who are the candidates for this job. Rodney Woods wouldn't take the job back if the same super is there, so let's talk candidates.

Mason Burgett is leaving his position as head coach at Trigg County to return to his Alma mater of Hopkins County Central and take over for the Storm.
