I was at this game last night sitting on the side where the benches are. A couple things that perturbed me are the congratulatory high fives given by the head coach to the player for getting not 1 but 2 intentional fouls on Hall and the Prestonsburg fans yelling “hit him harder”. I understand that hard fouls are part of the game. But a respectful coach would not condone let alone congratulate a kid on trying to hurt another player. Prestonsburg has serious discipline problems and it all starts with the head coach and his lack of knowledge and respect for the game of basketball and the kids who play the game. I also agree with Pulp Fiction, Superintendent Henry Webb and Principle Jerry Butcher needs to step in clean things up.
