I saw Letcher's facilities for the first time last Friday and they are top notch. The field, stadium, scoreboard, fieldhouse, and the school itself are outstanding structures. They have an experienced, proven coaching staff and I noted several booths and tents set up just outside the stadium indicating a strong booster club and parental support. There is no doubt in my mind that LCC will shortly become one of the premier programs in Eastern Kentucky. They had the misfortune to land in a very tough district for a developing program (just ask Knox Central and Clay County), but have won all their non-district games plus Perry Central. I expect them to finish at 6-5 overall.
