I agree on the Somerset coach. He took a team that was devastated early in the season and has coached them into a state contender! For those who didnt know Somerset's coach unexpectedly vacated the program days before the first game. I feel the challenge he faced and the results he has achieved are a compliment to the word Coach!

Robbie Lucas at Somerset has done a remarkable job this year. In fact he is still battling for his job, Interim Title has not been removed and school has said repeatedly that there will be a full coaching search after the season.

Even with the success Somerset has had this year he refuses to accept any credit, deferring to his players and Coach Cobb ( the former coach). Coach Lucas had to be pratically drug by the AD to get in a picture with the seniors and the district throphy. When he did get in the picture he stood behind the players and moved so that he wasn't in the shot. This is one man that absolutely coaches for the kids with ZERO ego in his job.

I know a lot of team have had great seasons, but this man was put in an almost impossible situation and has exceeded everyone expectations.
