Coaches of the Year prospects.

57th - Coach Wireman, His team finished first and that is why everyone plays to finish first.

Darren Rice - With a favorable schedule, the Lady Cardinals did play with a different attitude this past season yet, did not beat Baldwin and Paintsville when many felt Sheldon Clark would.

58th

Harold Tackett - Replacing Akers and all of the baggage that he inherited, still made it to the Semi-finals, and who knows if in the bottom brackett could have been in the finals yet, same results though when facing Johnson Central.

Mark Martin - Took a program that was supposedly only a pulse away from being dead into the regionals. His "gritty" group was 6 mins. away from the semi-finals.

59th

Rodney Rowe - Yes, another first year coach that inherited a group that had been well coached and won the school's first All A title. Did not make it to regionals and that hurts.

60th

Stephen Butcher - Another appearance for the coach, still as earlier comments stated it's all about the talent, and I would say every coach in the region would like to have coached a Haley Ratliff and Kayla Lowe and get a transfer name A.d. Slone

J.R. Vanhoose - Took over a program that was on the upside of things and with the transfer of Riley, made it to the All A finals.

IMO, these are legit picks for COY of the region
