What's been the most gratifying part of being the head coach of this program? Oh my goodness, there's so many things you've got to thank God and thank the Lord above how blessed you are to be in this spot right here when the field and the facility that we have and the people that we have to work with and not to mention that the great student-athletes that I've had over these past 25, 30 years in all sports. What do you hope most of all that your players take away from what you've been able to teach them? Well, we kind of talked a little bit about that at the end of the Johnson Central game, you know. I had, I was loaded up with some really good talent but fairly young. I mean, we had 21 people on the roster and out of those 21, 17 were sophomore and below. So really, we did some really good things with a young bunch that is that talented. And I guess to answer your question, if I can instill in them life lessons that would pertain to the game of baseball, like work ethics, work hard, show up on time, be here, don't have excuse for missing, and ask questions and practice, practice, practice on whatever aspect that you need to, those kind of things would carry over into their life. What advice would you give for the guy coming in to take over this program? Is there anything you could say to him or would like to say to him about carrying on such a great tradition at Pikeville? I guess, I guess the advice that I would give would be come in here and feel blessed to work with such great people at the Pikeville Independent School System as he's going to find out that's true and to have the amazing facilities and you can look around and see what kind of things are coming even at this point and be your own man, be your own coach and stick to your guns and let those kids fight for jobs.
