[PHSForever]

hahahahaha, what is going on at ER? I know for a fact they had some good applicants to choose from! This poor kid was a walk on who never played an was neither a JV nor freshman coach at Powell or anywhere else for that matter.. What do you all look for up there a "fancy name and from down state"? Landon Slone was at least a walk on that got PT why not go after him? It really must be as bad as they say up there!!

Preston was a better player than Landon, and he did have his moments at UK, especially his senior year, he was credited with coming off the bench and sparking UK to the 80-40 rout of Miss St. Played for Tubby, I believe his senior year was 2003-04. 1st team all state out of Bourbon County HS, his father was Jim Lemaster who played for Rupp. I think ERHS was looking for2 things: 1) Young coach eager to prove himself and able to relate to players, and 2) Yes, a little bit of a "name" in UK basketball to pacify some fans and generate some excitement in their community. Add in the fact he seems to be a high-character guy, and it looks like a good hire for ERHS. Wish them luck in every game except against PHS. :biggrin:
