Here are some facts that the media and region should know that has been going on behind the scenes for years. This will be long, but could probably be much longer.
Timeline
2004-2005 Discussion from KHSAA about realigning the 15th region which involved splitting up the 4 Floyd County H.S. Henry Webb then calls Belfry's Paul Dotson who was on his last year of the board of control seat, and says we can't split my Floyd Co. district up during this realignment.
Webb then comes up with a plan to keep his schools together.
They then tell the 16th regions' Marvin Moore we will get you all the votes you need to win the upcoming board of control race if you do this for us. We will take Lawrence Co from the 16th if you move them to the 57th and keep all 4 Floyd Co. Schools together and keep Lawrence out of Pike Co.
Low and behold, the next year Marvin Moore wins the board of control seat, Lawrence is moved to the 57th district with 4 other strong teams, and Floyd stays together without moving Betsy Layne over to 60th. This is the start of the politics.
2011-2012
Henry Webb wants to win the upcoming board of control seat. He tells the 16th region schools he will guarantee Lawrence stays in the 15th region as long as they get his vote for board of control.
Low and behold, Henry Webb wins the 15th/16th board of control member seat and his promise to never move Lawrence back to the 16th under his watch is now in place.
2016-2017
Henry Webb knows the 15 team region cannot be aligned to four districts with four teams in it unless they bring in Jenkins. Again, moving Betsy Layne to the 59th or 60th makes geographical sense but would split his district up.
NOW IT STARTS TO ALL UNRAVEL.
Pike County Superintendent says I will vote for any reallignment as long as it doesn't involve my schools having to travel to Lawrence County. Henry Webb knows he is down to 3 schools and must take another school. The only problem is if that school they take is good any sports then he ONLY gets 1 school in each region tournament most years. He knows Lawrence County is the problem because he brought them in to our region. Noone wants Lawrence County in their district because of travel and they are good. Henry knows his district is about to be split up so here is what he comes up with.
1. Call a meeting this past Monday with only regions superintendents and Julian Tackett. No others input is welcome even though he is region's elected board of control member.
2. He presents 6 options that he knows the other districts don't want because he has already talked to Pike Co superintendent and knows he won't vote for anything involving Lawrence in his districts.
3. He then says (becuase he knows noone wants Lawrence) "I will take Lawrence County in the 58th district with us with the exception that everyone in here votes for the Super Region Option so all my teams make the region each year" Then he comments about all his Floyd County Athletes transferring from his schools moving out to other region schools (Paintsville, JC, Pikeville, and SV).
4. Then he blows all the superintendents minds when he says "If you don't vote for Super Region and we take Lawrence then I will go to my board of education members tomorrow and have them revolk every reciprocal agreement we have with all our surrounding school districts" Basically threatening them they have to vote for the super region. This guarantees him all 3 Floyd schools in every region tournament instead of 1 team.
5. The superintendents then all say Super Region is fine after the threat he makes.
6. Julian Tackett and Henry Webb then go to board of control yesterday and tell them we have a plan all superintendents are for "Super Region" for the 15th. Henry Webb and Julian Tackett know if it is a BIG FLOP, now they can both blame it on the region superintendents instead of Henry and Julian. The reason for this is Henry wants to be the next KHSAA Commissioner when Julian retires and doesn't want to have a black eye when this thing flops. BUT THERE IS ANOTHER CATCH. Instead of it being a one year trial period, Henry and Julian make is a MULTI-YEAR trial so the FLOP doesn't happen on their watch. WOW!!!
7. So here we are with a SUPER REGION that all Floyd county schools and everyone else makes the region.
8. The next move Henry Webb is now making is getting the region basketball tournament out of the EXPO and to Floyd Central.
In conclusion, Henry Webb's hand in all this goes way back with no one really seeing what is going on behind the scenes. Just thought the public needed to know this. The bottom line is he has disrupted the entire 15th region since 2005-2006 because he is looking out for his Floyd County schools and that is it. He does not want them split up and for some reason the KHSAA will not make the move, step in, and say here is your new realignment based on geographics and live with it.
Henry Webb will be the blame for the Super Region FLOP and the basketball region tournament going back to the schools. Henry Webb should step down from his board of control position for threatening the region's superintendents about reciprocal agreements to get their vote for the super region and for pushing his agenda through without getting anyone else's opinion. As a board member, he should represent the region schools not just his schools.
ITS A SAD DAY FOR THE 15TH REGION!
