From what I understand he treats a D just as bad as an F. He checks grades every week and if a player is pulling a D or F in any class he gets placed in the F.A.C.S. program (I dont remember what that stands for) which is basically forcing these kids to keep up with their studies. If a player doesnt get his grades up then he must sit out of practice and games until his grades are brought up. And it is working. At the football banquet CoachJ asked all the kids to stand who were on the honor roll from B average all the way to all A's. I think every kid but 2 or 3 stood up. Now thats impressive!!!

I was informed that Pikeville forces their players into FACS if they have a D or F but they can still play as long as they meet KHSAA requirments. Pikeville and most other districts throughout the state have a generic board policy that states they will meet the minimum requirements of the KHSAA.

Choose a district and look for policy 9.313.
