Personal opinion Tailback 44. Cook can tell you why I call him that. as for Ritchie --my opinion is that he wants to be the center of the show, rather than the players. As for me being at LCC---it beats being at Jenkins. I noticed by your avatar that you have now located in Knott Co. These are my opinions, they are like parts of our anatomy and everyone has one. Whether I like Cook and Ritchie or not (I don't) is irrelevant. The thread is about mountain officials and here is how I would rate them if I were a head coach and why
1. Dexter Campbell- fair, honest,not influenced by ANYONE
2. Tommy Hutton- knows the game
3. Mike Melton- works hard at being right spot, right time
4. Gary Sandlin- improving each year
5. Glenn Napier- doesn't get rattled. i could care less how he acts when he's a spectator.
6-12-- (Not in any particular order)Steve Thomas, Harrison Bailey,Don Hall,Tony Birch,Roy Spencer,David Carmichal.
These are my picks---You can have your own. That's why they are rated each year. As far as LCC going to state, they have as good a chance as anyone. And the thing about it is. If they do go, it will be because they earned it---they didn't whistle their way to it. Hazard won this year because they deserved it. Next year's circumstances will dictate another set of situations and someone will win it again. That's the way it works. I thought LCC got pretty good officiating all year, That didn't beat them in their losses. But then again, LCC didn't have Ritchie or Cook ref ANY of their games. Won 22 and lost 8 Won district for 2nd straight year, made regional semis for 2nd straight year-Pretty good season I'd say.
