Who did they hire to be the head coach? If the coaching will be greatly improved.

That’s a bold statement to make, the lady has coached in this region for 13 years and won about 167 of a possible 172 games in region. If the coaching is gonna be greatly improved the new coach will have to win 168 out of 172 games to be better than her.

I am a fan of ALL Estill sports, but lets face it, the vast majority of the time, Estill has went 0-2 in the state tournament when they get there. That's where the coaching will improve. Not at all saying what Beard accomplished is anything short of stellar in region play, it is absolutely unheard of. With that said, the talent level at Estill compared to other region teams is off the charts (Most years anyway) so winning the region is a thing that, as an Estill fan, should be normal. They have to take the next step to be respected state wide.
