As far as I know, Banks will still hold a job within the Breathitt County School system. He is director of transportation. He just wont be the coach anymore. I talked to Arch Turner yesterday at Breathitts football practice and he said that they are making a strong push at doug.

Talked to my cousin today that is the Superintendent down there in powell county today and he said he didnt see why they should play against Harlan because Harlan would be moving up 2 classes next year.

This is the best thing that could happen to this program with Banks leaving, a couple yrs. ago these young men that was coming out of Middle School that will be Jrs. this year should have completed not only for the region title but also the state title that how much talent they had. If Supt. Turner was smart he would try and hurry up and hire Doug Noble because he could get most of these players back. I know that Nick Noble would come with him and also the Salyers kid that is playing with perry central this summer would maybe be back, so they need to make a quick move.:banana:

Josh was at Jackson City last time I checked. Who knows though. Banks was a good coach but wasnt really that great with the kids. Ive spoken to some of the players that played for him and he didnt relate well to them at all is what they said. You have to have some give with kids, it always cant be his way or the highway. I for one would love to see Doug coaching Breathitt next year and Nick playin in blue.

I have heard from several reliable sources close to the schoo system and have heard that Doug Noble, current Owsley county coach has been interviewed and they are interested in him.

Same here, and he is bringing his nephew with him Nick. I have been saying that coach Banks wouldnt be back and noone beleived me. O well....

Im not suprised. He likes to spend his money on anything seems like. He cant afford to get fined.

So who are we looking at getting and who is a lost hope pretty much?

I agree with all the rakings but I see UK suprising some people. Or atleast I can dream right.

As far as I know with JBS, they will be closing in two years. If they still have the athletics this year then Cox and the others that transfered will not be able to play at the schools they went to.

I look fro Breathitt to improve alot this year. Not sure that they will be challegeing Hazard for the region title but things get crazy in the region. Maybe last year will be a experience that the player dont want to go threw agian.

Thats pretty bad for the kids. Powell county has always has outstanding sportmenship though.

For his age, noone can touch Channing Fugate. This kid is gonna be what coach Holcomb rides to another state championship for Breathitt.

Good luck to him, but he is UK material.

What teams was there?

What was all the teams there?

Your speaking of the JBS players correct? Can you elaborate?

JBS isnt having a basketball team next year. The school will not be open much longer.

They may be going to Louisville sometime in June. Not sure of the date thought.

Channing Fugate without a doubt. This kid has the size and the speed to run away from anyone.

I was surprised with Breathitt's numbers last season. Seemed the Bobcats only had 35-45 players, alot less than they used to dress. Did numbers seem to be up for spring practice?

From what I looked, it seemed like they had a few more, but not many more.

I can see meeks running the show but I dont know how capible he would be and how good he would be with the ball in his hands. If we sign McClintock we will see how good his is off the bat I think because if leggins doesnt get in he will more then likely be running the show. Still we have to see if McClintock will sign with UK.

With Jasper leaving for greener pastiers, where does UK turn to now that we are down a PG and someone who does alot for the team on the floor.

Good luck to Jasper and wish him to best where he goes.

Breathitt is gonna have to have become bigger and meaner in the trinches. The line on both sides of the ball needed to get another year under their belt before they really challenged for the state title. Breathitt also needs to just give the ball to Channing. He is the workhorse of that team and I expect to see his name as an all stater.

What are the chances of him leaving?

How good is this kid? Is he good enough to start or be a solid player off the bench?

Would that be enough to lower what he needs to get on his ACT or SAT enought he coulod get in?
