Haha Clay County let parents ruin their program from the inside.

It's not funny. Very sad.


It's disrespectful to a legend like Keith and a legendary program. The 13th region is better now because of how good Clay Co. was for so long. Teams had to get better or get squashed.

Question, do they still have the talent like Coach Keith had? Just a outsider looking in no matter who the Coach is if you don't have the players X's and O's, don't mean jack. Example Scott County the year after Coach Hicks left they won the region(state tourny was canceled). Last year they had a losing record, and this year they are like 3-6, same Coaches that coached with Coach Hicks for years, but the talent is just not there anymore

No, they don't. Not by any stretch of the imagination of even the most ardent Tiger fan. They are extremely young right now but not a lot of demonstrable talent at this point. Some on here will want to blame Gray for that as well. Is he to blame? I don't know. I'd say a lot of people share in it.  Now, Clay did have some nice talent the past few years. Some were expecting them to win the region every year with that group but it didn't happen. I suspect the talent was a bit overrated by some Clay folks but they had some really nice players. I do think they underachieved a bit, especially missing the region two straight seasons. Being the head coach, Gray bears ultimate responsibility but its not JUST his fault. It's fallacious to say that he can't coach, though.
