[Proud Hornet]

According to what everyone has been told in Magoffin County, Chester's son, Scotty, will be the new Head Coach.

I have always been a supporter of Magoffin County athletics and the young men and women that participate in them. For 55 long years I have sit throught disapointment after disapointment knowing that the few sucesses are worth it. With that, I am disapointed in Mr. Skags in his most recent hires. Robbie Russel as a basketball coach was a blatant disaster and is showing know signs of improvement and Mr. Skags shows no signs of caring.

But this hire may be more disturbing because it touches more young men and boys thoughout the county. Mr. Skags had a chance to do it right. He could have brought an established coach in that has ran successful programs from top to bottom. Some people are even saying that Coach McCoy negotiated his son Scott's job at Magoffin as he was accepting his job at Paintsville. That makes Magoffin County look horrible! I have no doubts that Scotty is a fine young man but he is to young and is not ready for this job. Will he spend the time it takes building the feeder programs? It remains to be seen. Regardless I will support the young Hornets no matter.

Lets hope that Mr. Skags cares about his athletic programs as much as he says he does.
