The biggest hurdle at SC (aside from the administration and facilities) is the fact there may not be a County in KY that has been hit harder by the coal industry decline.

People don't move in to Martin County any more and it is tough to get that booster funding and sponsor money that goes a long way in building a program. In addition, the job issue taxes the flexibility to find volunteers to help keep the youth program a float.

I have always liked the SC program... but if I am a young coach this is a tough gig to go after. You will have one of the tougher 3A Districts to compete in and there is always going to be kids who opt to go to Johnson Central for High School instead on the edges of your county.
