I agree, it's unique.

I think the main reason that consolidation with Knott Central has not been implemented is the distance factor. Cordia is 24 miles from KCC. It's actually much closer to Hazard High and Perry Central, about 10 miles, but of course not in the same county. The school has a Hazard address.

Sadly, when one does a Google search, it's hard to get a lot of information on Cordia School itself. I'm not talking about the recent KHSAA stuff either.

Cordia has an unusual situation whereas they are part public and part private. The school is leased by the Knott County system but is privately owned. Knott County pays the teachers and administrators but the school facilities are part of the Lotts Creek Community system. I'm not sure if there's another school in the state set up that way.

I'm sure Alice Whitaker, who has a lot of clout (and money) with Cordia, has butted heads with the county system in the past. The Cordia community is pretty loyal to their school. However, I don't know how supportive they are of Rhodes. I'm sure they're not going to go private anytime soon over the Knott County decision not to rehire the coach.

The Corida/Knott situation intrigues me, because it is private, but it is public.

Where have the gotten their money? I know it's been in existence for 80+ years, but for such as rural and remote area, it is just interesting.

I just think they did it in part because of the All A Title they won.:idunno:

I agree. I don't see where he has a case because coaching jobs are year to year contracts. He might be trying to go the racial discrimination angle but I doubt that will get any traction.

 

I was told by a person in the Hazard area that the the cut in his pay was due to his program running in the red and the thought was to use the money cut from Rhodes' salary to pay on an assistants salary. He was upset and voiced his opinion to the principal who then forwarded the info on to the superintendent and the board.

What was his program?

Jeff Honeycutt is trying to get the job again. Rod Rhodes replaced Honeycutt.

Rhodes replaced Denny Fugate.

Honeycutt was successful there before. Never understood why he left.

I never said what I "wanted". Only asked a question. If those kids are eligible at Cordia my guess is if they can find a good coach to stay for a couple of years then the players may not leave. I mean, if they transfer now they may have eligibility issues at the next school. Why mess with that when you're ready and legal to play at your present school.

 

As for your last comment, do you think for one minute that transfers haven't helped other teams win state championships? Cordia isn't the first team with transfers. Taylor County had a couple last year that made hem a state contender. So did Mercer County. And Scott County has had their share over the years too.

This.

What does Alice Whitaker think about this situation? She definitely has a lot of influence when it comes to the Cordia school. And from past situations she always appeared to be a supporter of Rhodes.

I believe that she is not very happy with it.

Saw her yesterday and congratulated her. She did a great job at Fleming and I've always held respect for her. She always seemed to get a lot out of her teams.

Real shame.

I may be able to come up with t-shirts and a couple of hot chicks for the promo material.

Will these hot chicks have phone numbers where we can reach them if needed?

Maybe the JV Coach? Josh Hurt?

Odd to stand behind him the whole time then make a change now

Not the first time that has happened in a school system, won't be the last.

Wow...

Was this her choice or administration? Was she teaching at Dayton or at Silver Grove still?

Congrats to Coach Orem!

Worst kept secret in the state. Good luck to Elisha!

It's official per EKBSports on Twitter.

Waiting for PageOneKentucky to have something on this... in 3, 2, 1....

Some parents live vicariously through their children by having them play sports. In this case, this man literally relived his playing days by living as a high schooler!

It does not discriminate.... Sadly, many of us do not know someone suffering from it until it is too late. Prayers your way.

Classy individual and great family. They are dedicated to Ludlow Schools!

Huh? Where did Huther go?

Unsure but the principal job is posted.

I can clear this up

I haven't applied, nor will I.

 

Have a great day.

Surely you can't be serious! :lol2:

You know I'm kidding.
