Coaching matter - just because you have a lot of talent doesn’t mean you win at a high level . It takes good coaching and good talent and a little bit of luck . Chris is putting a great staff together as well .

The Henry Clay team that had Jeff Blandon and Steve Miller.

Chris was at Waggener and Highview before Ballard - tough to win at those schools - he’s like 6th in all time wins and doing it in the 7th region is tough to do.

Big hire!

Who I was hoping and wanting I am told is not happening. I am sure they will find a highly qualified candidate.

I'm late to the party but Seneca busted X up. X was soo soo good early season but just did not get any better. I think Klein struggled to use all the weapons he had available and going from a controlled offense in past year and this year opening it up just didn't bode well in the end. Teams figured out his fast break tactics and started shutting it down. You can have too much talent , and X may have just been in that position. Still great year for X and they are young. Coach Roy at Seneca is a coach to watch..

The hire will be made and announced very soon. It is going to be someone that people are VERY familiar with in high school basketball. Home run hire!

Ballard lost 7 players out of their program in a three week period. They had a toxic person in the program demanding playing time for his son. Once the coaches didn't bow to his demands he used his authority to try to poison the remaining players and convince others to transfer (and they did). The team was in total disarray afterwards, and they had to pull JV kids up to have enough to play varsity. Coach Willis and staff deserve a lot of credit for getting the remaining kids to buy in and come together as a team. They played 6 and were outmatched size wise, and strength wise against a very good Trinity team. Ballard took them to the wire. Ballard will be back soon!

Glad for Coach Hunt!

If Trinity comes to play they are physically superior to every team in the Region. I think it could be Trinity and X - But Manual is very good as well.
