[Coach Howard]

Extremely proud of my guys for the effort they gave me tonight. In all of my years I have never had a group of guys give the effort that I got from them today. They were focused and determined to win the Big Sandy Large school title and they did so in an impressive manner. They finished the season with a record of 12-1 and I consider myself the luckiest coach in the state of Kentucky to of had the privilege to coach this group of young men. I hate to see the season come to an end and I will really miss getting to spend time with this group of ballplayers.

Coach Pray of Perry County has a great group of young men and I wish them nothing but success in the future. It's always fun to play against him and his team because you know that your going to get a hard fought ballgame and he always fields one of the classiest groups of young men that you will ever get the chance to compete against.

Also wanted to let my younger boys know that I am proud of them for getting a big win against Paintsville in an earlier game today.
