Speaking of north are they even going to have enough for a team?  Heard Valentine ran off another or almost did.  What’s his deal? Is he that unlikeable?

Heard that last summer he had 4 that were going to play minutes tried to leave and him and the assistant Messer threatened them with KHSAA and vowed they would sit for a full year. I know one of them called the bluff and left with no repercussions. My opinion only but I believe he is one of the worst coaches in the region and treats players badly. Good luck to them though.

Just another fine example of educators/Adults being bullies to kids..It seems fair game nowadays for adults to bully kids in the name of coaching..Wonder how Coach Messer felt when he was FIRED at Barbourville High School? Why was Messer FIRED at BHS? I’m sure you’ll hear new Superintendent came in and hired his old friend Coach Taylor..Administration at Barbourville obviously don’t play games with parents or coaches. Coaches that threaten players for any reason should be FIRED and the Administration relieved of duties for not doing the right thing when it comes to kids. Obviously Barbourville High School did the right thing by FIRING Messer..From what I’m hearing North plans to keep Valentine till his hair grows back and that’s very disappointing for the kids of North Laurel..
