Actually when Jody left, they all did in fact leave too. Spade coached them for the next two years. It was after those two years that the former and now current staff began their tenure.

so the assistants that were with jody came back after maynard got the job?

No, but they helped him out during the summers and falls..

They were basicly out of the high school game for those couple of years, with the exception of Gavin Ramsey. He was an assistant at Raceland during that time. The rest of the staff including Gavin did however coach the Huntington Hounds, to a NABF National Runner up finish. It was all of them combined; both Ramseys, Maynard, Kazee, and Wheeler. The unit stayed intact. They also did personal training sessions for many area players. They never really left the game.

[hoot owl]

A few that have not been mentioned from the 14th...

Estill County coach Wood has a great, knowledgable staff, and I've heard that Jon Kirby (all-time K leader in Ky. and former minor league pitcher) is working with the pitchers this spring.

Powell County coach Varney has Rogers who was a pitcher at Ky. Wesleyan and Shepherd who pitched at St. Catharine.

Perry Cent. coach Dixon's top assistant Kevin Duff took Dilce Combs to the finals of the 14th region two years in a row before they consolidated with M.C. Napier.

Hazard coach Meehan has Searcy who used to help Dixon, and Haynes who has been with him for a while now.

Breathitt Co. coach Napier has Wooton caught for ALC and Morehead State - assistant to Meehan when the Bulldogs won back-to-back regional championships. Turner was the head coach at Jackson City for a few years.

Leslie Co. coach Melton has Crisp who has been with him for a while now and does a great job with the pitching staff.

well i know ramsey and wheeler do a lot for that program, especially now, i think it was ramsey who did the summer this past season, and they continue to keep that program at an elite status....

I'm sorry it's Craig Delong. Didn't mean any disrespect to the hall of famer.

Interesting that you would not include the staff of a school that has been to Appleebees 2 out of the last 4 years.

I totally agree , but did not think this would be your opinion.

I think that letcher has a really good staff .
paintsville
jchs

I would agree, I think that all these guy's do a great job, it is tough to find coaches with much baseball knowledge or experience that are willing to coach and or move to eastern ky....don't you think....i guess some of our east ky high schools ....staff and parents should be thankful that some of these guys are willing to share their time and knowledge with the kids
pikville now has adam collins (pikeville college player and grad) paintsville's howard ,I believe played for louisville and didn't mike hall play at morehead in the years in which they had a top notch program??? anyway my hat is off to all the area coaches for their time and dedication to our youth!!!!!!:thatsfunn

[OMG]

by whoom?????

most people, 20 minutes from lawrence county and only 40 minutes from paintsville...they are just as much eastern kentucky as some of the 13th region is, just because they are a little north does not make them not on the eastern part of kentucky...there doesn't have to be mountains around to be considered eastern kentucky,

I think this will be the year the region will see what a good job the Belfry coaches have done building a contender. In the past they have had alot of off field disturbances. Hagy has a good group of kids and if the nucleus of about 4 to 5 senior players will help Coach Hagy lead this team; Watch out. They have alot of young talent and this year will be the start of a big run for the Pirates over the next few years.

By the map! Go back and look at the map of Kentucky, then pick out Boyd County. It doesn't get much more "east" than that. And no, they are not "Northern" Kentucky. That term is used to describe the area surrounding Cincinnati.

As you can see, the only three counties that extend farther east than Boyd are Lawrence, Martin, and Pike.
