Estill needs a lot of help. With a 2-18 record the past couple of seasons are the coaches on the hot seat? I would think they would be looking for at least a new defensive scheme or coordinator. The last 20 games they have given up an average of 46.5 points per game and this year was even worse with an average of 50.2. You aren't going to win many games giving up that many points.

Russ Swimm the O'Coord quit before the beginning of the season. Not sure what happened. He was fine at graduation ready for the season then the next thing I know is he quits. To take Estill's side for a minute, They had more Fresh and Sophomores than Juniors and Seniors. I think they had 16 Fresh, 14 Sophomores, 8 JR's and 7 SR's but about 4 SR's only played this year. 3 of them were on the line. One had to sit out due to an ACL injury which he didn't play much varsity past years anyways. One of those linemen went to a clinic with the Louisville and Kentucky coaches. Some of them even just started playing football this year. and the injury bug just had killed Estill. Lose 2 key players to ACL injuries first game of the season it's hard to rebound after that. As for the coaches I would say that their all fine. Jones is only 55-65 or something like that since he arrived here. He may step down here in couple years when Trevor graduates but I could be wrong on that.

To add to Norm's question, how committed is the community to the football team and how committed are the players? I could be completely wrong here but, I don't think I am. Estill Co seems like a basketball school which makes sense since most of the surrounding schools(Lee Co, Owsley Co, Wolfe Co) don't have football teams.

Each Friday night the stands and sidelines are packed. The players (not just football but baseball, basketball, soccer) they make a bad play and their heads go straight to the ground and their done the rest of the game. Football, Baseball and Soccer are very good for doing that. The Booster club just spent I don't know how much money on getting them new locker for the locker room and if I'm not mistaken they are getting new uni's this year too.




That is one thing I don't get, if your a Senior why play only one year of a sport? If your gonna play why not start when your little and play until your high school career is over and if your good enough continue your career at the collegiate level.
