Bobby Bowden told me one time after a discussion about climbing the college coaching ladder and pursuing jobs, “If you have to apply, you ain’t getting it. If they ain’t calling you, then you got more work to do where you’re at.” That always stuck with me.

1) Coach McKay might be the realest out there and 2) this is what a high school career done right looks like. And in case your wondering: it starts with family, then friends, then teammates… and somewhere further down the list is the coach.

Coach Hampton welcomed me into high school coaching with a 71-70 loss in Vanceburg. Our team and I were humbled that night, however I walked out of the gym impressed with a man who could flat out coach and had as much class as any coach in America!
#ThankYouCoachHampton
Joe Hampton knew long ago he would retire from teaching in 2020. The way the most recent Lewis County boys basketball season ended made the next part easier. On the retirement of the longest-tenured active coach in the 16th Region
