 Treating the human body takes more than just science. It takes skill. Choose Pikeville Medical Center. Quality orthopedic care, hometown touch. Very excited. Very humbled. You know, Mr. Buer and Mr. Thomas and the committee for selecting me as the next head baseball coach here at Pikeville is very honoring. To follow Coach Prady, coached against him and then also played against him as a player. To be at Pikeville is, you know, it's always been a regional powerhouse. And we look to kind of push it back into that direction. The field programs in the 15th region and then across the state. We talked kind of in the season when he had told me that he was retiring and I haven't got to sit down and talk to him, you know, individually yet, but I'm very excited for that opportunity because he was here for so long and did so many great things here and had such a successful career here. So I'm very excited to sit down with him and talk, you know, some of the things that work, some of the things that didn't and just kind of pick his brain because he is a veteran coach of baseball here. I can't say enough good things about Coach Hall and Johnson Central. I loved my time there and it was a very tough decision. Coach Hall and I actually sit down and talked about it numerous times and he was kind of the ones that said, you know, listen, go apply for it. So he and I are very close and being assistant under him, you know, bouncing things off of each other numerous times in game situations, out of game situations was a great experience for me as a younger coach because he's kind of been in the trenches and has done a phenomenal job down there. So being around him and, you know, becoming more close of a friend than what we were before is very special and I'll always be appreciative of what they did down there for me and, you know, everybody else.
