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

Interested to hear the comments from this post,

First of all we have to remember that the coy is decided before tournament play so no one knew that Vanhoose nor Rice would make the regional tournament. So I guess you could say the tournaments don't matter in this case. Equally, no one knew that JC would go to state.

I am not sure why they even have this award.

I think that we have some good talent in the 15th . I just hate to see everyone come on here and put these coaches down. They spend hours upon hours of watching films and practicing and they put everything that they have into their jobs. It is not an easy job. I am sure if people came and sat and watched us do our jobs that they wouldn't think that we did everything "perfect" either. I know that I don't put in the hours in my job that these coaches/ teachers put into theirs.
