Allen County Scottsville Coach Brad Hood named Courier Journal Coach of the Year. A good choice among many deserving coaches.

I think Tom Larkey from Harlan County did an outstanding job at Harlan County High School, as well. Lost his QB, FB, G, T, and TE on offense before the season started. Before the opening game lost his leading rusher and FB due to knee injuries. He was without his stud TB in many critical games down the stretch due to injuries. He led the Black Bears to a district title in which he beat every team in the district by double digits. The Black Bears went on to win the region by blowing out a one-loss Pulaski County team 35-14, and trailed eventual state-champ Highlands 14-6 at the half before falling to the Bluebirds. What Coach Larkey has done with this football program in 3 years is phenomenal, and it doesn't go unnoticed by us here in Harlan County. By the way, Ovie Canady, deserves alot of credit as well. He is the DC at HC and has turned defense into a passion for his players. They play hard and "filthy", and are as prepared as anybody coming into a game.
