Just to verify a few thing about Bryson Williams. He played Little League at Hap because if you know the rules you have to play where you live. The AAU team he played on was not from Betsy Layne. The coach was from Pike County and the team was made up of 4 kids from Floyd County, 2 from Johnson County and 3 from Pike County. As far as him being a football or Basketball player. His dad played football at UK and also was given a baseball scholarship at UK and coaches college football and his mothers side comes from a long line of basketball players. His uncle coached at Garrett for years and his grandfather was one of the best in his day. His cousin was Wes Samons who played at PHS.

At one time PHS basketball was one of the best in the reg. The year of 97 and 98 coach Pack had a team that had won AAU tournaments all over the state, but he couldn't take the same team and go the state. You have to know how to get the best out of your players and yelling and humilitating them is not always the way.

The one thing you can say about Coach Pack, he sure has handed Dewey Jamerson a good track team last year and should be good this year.

I have known the Derosetts for several years and I have never heard them discourage a football player from playing basketball. They come to over half the basketball games and support the boys. I have yet to see Coach Pack at a football game. The last time I checked PHS is a small school and the athletes have to be shared. It only keeps a kid in shape if he stays active all year round.
