According to the KHSAA, Scott County coach Billy Hicks stands at 899 wins and will be trying to become the first coach in Kentucky high school history to record his 900th win tonight against Bryan Station. According to the National Federation of High School Associations Hicks has the 3rd most wins among active coaches in the United States, trailing only his friend Bob Hurley (1,130) of St. Anthony's in Jersey City, New Jersey and Tony Harper (957) of Cathedral High School in El Paso, Texas.

This season, so far, has probably been one of Hick's best and most surprising coaching performances. Scott County starts 3 freshmen, a sophomore and a junior and their 6th man is a freshman. They currently stand at 18-1 and are ranked in the top 10 in Kentucky. I don't think anyone except Hicks expected these results.

Not bad for an old Ages boy and Evarts High School alum.
