Just the rumors that have come my way, Pike Central's head coach has never been mentioned at Valley. It was a member of the high school administration that use to coach. As for people that applied, there was never an actual application, it was only resumes being sent to Napier. More than ten people sent resumes and eight people were interviewed supposedly. Was told Derrick Newsome never even submitted a resume, no proof to that however. The kid from Jenkins has been mentioned in the past but have not heard his name in the last month. Heard someone from Morgan County and a former UPike player (not anyone currently coaching at another local school) were being highly considered. One of Rodney's assistants has been doing a lot of open gyms with the boys, and is being considered too. Administration has taken their time to get the opinions of players and people close to the program, but the announcement will hopefully come very soon. My gut feeling is someone currently working at Pike Central who is not the head coach.
