His dad played for Wolfe Co. What is the deal?

I know his dad played at Wolfe and we tried to get him to come to Powell and he didn't. He told me several years ago that he made a huge mistake by staying at Wolfe. The deal is the coaching situation at Wolfe. If the kid stays there he won't get the practice time, enough games, and the coaching to reach his full potential. From what I have seen, he has far too much talent to be left in that type of situation. Probably has the biggest upside in the region as an incoming freshman. Another reason is probably not enough recognition for his accomplishments. I just saw his stats for this season on http://www.khsbca.com and he finished the year with a .607 batting avg. 30 RBI's 10 doubles and one triple. Amazing numbers for anyone, even more amazing for an eigth grader, and he got absolutely no recognition for a season like that. I don't know where he will end up, but I am keeping my fingers crossed and hoping that we get him here at Powell County.
