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.

I said before that KCC had the coach and the talant to win, just not the support system to do so (feeder program....ect...) I will stick with my opinion that most of the talant in knott county is not on the football field, and as far as the county shrinking, the mining industry is hitting its stride again and the population is doing fine. Do not come at me with statements like "...get your story straight...." because it makes you sound really ignorant, which just feeds the stereotype of the people from Knott County. I lived there for six years and saw where the players came from and the money came from and went, and to saay that the football team gets their fair share is false IMO.
