Summer ball results are as meaningful as preseason games. Be interesting to see what happens when they play in the 2A tournament in January. Also happy to see they are playing Knott Central in the Carr Creek gym this season as well. Whoever is in charge of Floyd Central playing so many throwback games should be applauded.

Prestonsburg also made a mistake in giving Harold Tackett the head coaching job. Justin Allen should be the head coach at Prestonsburg. He would have them contending for titles and he'd actually stay in Prestonsburg because he lives and breathes Prestonsburg. Nothing against Harold but he's had his run and it wasn't all that great.

Don't know that I've heard much about Justin Allen as it pertains to coaching, but if he's young, hungry and will do what it takes to keep the kids from transferring out of Floyd County then maybe that's the route they take down the road. Not sure how long Harold will last there, and don't see him having much success.

I’m definitely not young (39 actually), but I’m always hungry. Metabolism isn’t what it used to be lemme tell ya. All jokes aside: I used to want to be a head coach for Prestonsburg but not as much anymore. Would I be an assistant again in the future if time allowed it? Absolutely. If I didn’t have a new addition to the family this summer, I’d be back at Adams Middle with my old pal Dougie running it back again. We saw lots of success a few years ago. I’d imagine we could get it rolling again. Only a matter of time with him in charge that we will see loads of talent being sent up to the high school.

Not being nosey but given your age you probably did not play for Parido did you? Maybe Crisp?
