What kind of mess has Spurlock created at Clay? Just because he hasn't won a regional title yet in his 3 years means there's a mess? Nowadays, it's just a little kinda hard to win playing against teams who have the experience, i.e. Corbin and South Laurel, when you're playing the young kids to build things back up. Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the cupboard was sorta left bare by the coach before Spurlock, and he still won 20 games and the district 2 years in a row against a team who was picked by MANY to win both the district and region, Jackson Co. In fact, a different bounce here or there, and Clay would've beaten both Cumberland and South Laurel in the regions 2 out of the last 3 years. But those are the breaks. You shooting your mouth off like that is just plain idiotic because you don't see the BIG PICTURE!!!

As for Hicks going to Knott, it won't happen because his wife will NOT move back to the mountains. And that is the most important thing!!

It looks like you don't have a clue about what's happened at Clay. The cubbard was not bare at all. The first year he played some seniors that really shouldn't have played and took them to the region. He should have beat Cumberland but slowed the game down and got beat by a much bigger team who he should have beat handily. He can't beat Steve Wright plain and simple.
He has had at least 10 players quit over the last two years including probably three starters. This past season, he should have had a senior oriented team consisting of a middle school group that was state runner up in the 7th grade AAU as well as middle school state ,and nationally ranked that summer. I think they had 3 kids move to varsity as 8th graders. Guess how many kids on that team are playing now, O none. They have been young the last few years out of necessity because no will play for him. Everybody is tired of "we are young." excuse.
Clay Co averaged less than 200 fans per game last season at home with less than 100 at their own tournament one game. He has alienated former players and coaches and the sponsors won't donate money. The booster club had to raise money the last two years. Never had to before.
He has also caused controversy in games vs North and Jackson Co.
I just think Todd Messer or Jerry Combs should be coach. If you are going to lose, lose with your own.
I GUESS THE BIG PICTURE IS ALOT MORE CLEAR NOW!!
