Apparently, Julian Tackett has awakened from his slumber and communicated to Principal Campbell that his measly 4 game self imposed suspension of Coach Jason Mays will not suffice.  Prior to the Tomcat opener on December 2nd, we should hear what the new punishment will be for Coach Jason Mays and Tomcat basketball, whether the punishment is authored by Ashland or the KHSAA.

It's ironic that Ashland turned Fairview football in a decade ago.  That resulted in the exodus of the coach, AD, principal, and superintendent.  It also resulted in a one year postseason ban.  Same situation with Rose Hill basketball 2 decades ago.  We'll soon see how Ashland fares in comparison to their neighbors down the road.

It looks like the Boyd County Lions are on the verge of one of their biggest wins ever.  Their athletic programs are on an unprecedented roll in the past 5 years.  They've won 1 region in boys basketball, 1 district in football, 3 regions in girls basketball, 3 regions in boys soccer, 2 regions in volleyball, and 1 region in baseball with 5 West Virginians, 4 Russell Red Devils, 3 Ohioans, 2 Missourians, 2 Scandinavians, an East Carter Raider, a Paintsville Tiger, a Raceland Ram, and a Cherokee Chief from New Jersey.  Now they might have just kneecapped their most hated rival down the road as well.  What a run!  Lion Pride!

As for Coach Jason Mays, as I said earlier in this thread, I can't imagine a man with his level of hubris going quietly into the night.  I would fully expect lawsuits to ensue.

As for the artsy side of this morality play, though, his professional video crew who follows him around could put together quite a piece set to:

And now, the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
I traveled each and every highway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way

Haha that ending was spot on! We will see what the khsaa will do. Campbell has done nothing and won’t. He himself helps facilitate all the wrong doings. He is ultimately responsible for Mays and he failed beyond miserably.  From what I hear. The letter from Khsaa explains that to him. It’s sad when people take supervisor roles but aren’t willing to supervise. Neglect of duty and it looks like he help facilitate or cover up the recruiting.  Look I hope your sitting down when it all comes out about the actual number of kids mentioned in the khsaa letter. It’s more than a phone call. Mays has a pattern. You will see that it is mentioned by the khsaa as well on how he recruited other kids. Just look at the current roster. If you actually knew the kids like you say.
