This is Coach Shepherd. I am saying that I have talked with him and he has told me that the rumors are not true. I just don't want things out there like that until it is final. With all the teacher cuts, I don't see that there would be a teaching position for Coach Combs.

Why would he need a teaching position? Coach Combs is an excellent educator, and has tenure at Montgomery County H.S. To my knowledge he did not resign from his teaching position. With the close proximity of Stanton and Mt. Sterling he could teach at Montgomery Co. while coaching baseball at Powell Co.

With the way the administration treated Coach Combs at Montgomery Co. I think this scenario would be very fitting.
