They have the talant and the Head Coach to win in Knott County, but alot of the talant does not even play football, rather choosing to play basketball or baseball. Also, outside the head coach and an assistant or two, the BOA does not give the Head Coach any more help as far as position coaches. Volunteers are then used and while their time is appreciated, some are not the most qualified. I do not know their schedule for next year, but I think they have a MUCH better shot at competing this year.

Knott does have the coach to lead these guys. A lot of the talent do not play baseball. In fact, one of the baseball players are on the football team. The BOE doesn't give anything to the program? Most of the money alotted to the sports programs go to the football and basketball(boys) teams. Girls get little support and baseball doesn't get any. How many years has Hammonds coached alone? Yea, he's had an assistant. Not a permanent one, not one that is at every game, but one that likes to help out. In fact, the football and boys basketball programs get the most money and haven't competed in years. The baseball and girl's basketball program have done the opposite. Without the help from the Board of Un-educated, I will add. So, get the facts straight. Also, the county is shrinking and there aren't enough talented kids in the county.

Knott football will not be any good until the county gets a feeder program to bring up good talent with the fundamentals to be able to play HS football. A MS team just can't play 4-5 games in a season and expect to be any good when they are incoming freshman. Hopefully Beder will work on that. Knott is just ridiculous.
