I’m going to hold my judgement on this until things shake out, but if bringing kids from other counties is the play here, you’ve just set Prestonsburg back even more than it already has been. Prestonsburg is ready to compete now. They’ve proven that this summer. If you start trying to replace what you have with kids from other areas then you’re about to have a major blow up in this town.

I thought I read somewhere that kids leaving schools trying to fit into a better place was the norm now.  There’s no way Prestonsburg blows up if transfers come in…the parents will welcome them with open arms.  

I mean come on, Prestonsburg don’t have 5 start recruits and competing for state championships every year, heck or even a district championship for that matter.  They better not blow up for one or two kids coming in if they do, they Just need to hang it up.  They better worry about kids leaving than coming in.  

there’s no issue with the hire for me, I think a young coach will bring some spark in but people need to sit back and relax, Prestonsburg unfortunately has struggled in its 3 major athletics programs in the past few years.  Take what you can get and move on.

Nobody knows what Prestonsburg has. Some kids here have now played for 3 coaches in 3 years. We keep hiring people with zero intention of staying. I’m not saying this happens here but let’s be real: the only reason JJ is still at Martin County is due to family. Eventually that’s going to run out and guess who they’re gonna call to replace him. That’s my issue. Someone that played at Martin, coached at Martin will not stay away from Martin.

They are going to call Dylan James!  If he wants to come back to the mountains and he will have credentials to justify the hire.

Where’s James at now?

He’s on staff at GRC.
