None of this is true. I really wish that people would not get on here and make up lies. It just makes you sound like you have an axe to grind with Coach Hicks. I will start by saying that his players don't like him, They Love him. He is a good Christian man and yes he does work his players very hard but that is what a coach is supposed to do. I am very close to this situation. Coach Hicks did not go to Mr. Napier and try to get rid of Jonah Justice. Jonah wanted to coach football and that is that. Coach Hicks and Elisha are close friends and will always be close friends so don't try to make it into something that is not true. He encouraged Elisha to take the job. He did not want to lose him but he thought it was a good opportunity for Elisha. Coach Hicks does more things for his players than any other coach that I have ever seen or heard of. The only coach that he got rid of is Donovan Little and anyone that was around the program really understands why he got rid of him. You can ask any teacher at Shelby Valley High School about Donovan Little and all of them would give you the same response. He is the worst teacher in the building and he is very unethical.

Nice try coach Hicks but it is very true. They don't love you they fear you. And sorry but it's time someone stood up and finally told the truth. Ask Braxton Tibbs how hard he was recruited. Ask the right parent and others if they were asked to keep a player in their home for a season. Come to school at 2pm and watch a practice during school hours. Ask the players what their "workouts" consisted of this summer up to now. I heard with my own ears "let him run cross country, I'll start _______ in his spot. And you should know that when you call a parent to tell them why their son can't play soccer, they don't text their friends the KHSAA edited version of what happened. So we should probably just wait until the KHSAA gets some videos, forwarded texts, and other documents this month, before telling people what is and is not true. And please stop pushing the point that you are a good christian man in every post or conversation about yourself. Christian men live it they don't tell it and they don't spend sundays fishing and telling dirty jokes and they sure don't encourage players to miss prayer meeting and sunday night service because "god understands we have work to do" or hold it against them if they put god first anyway. Elijah is a good christian man and he don't have to always be saying it for you to know it. I'm glad he got out from under your mess. And stop telling people he cancelled the game, it was mutually agreed that you all should not play.
