Rumor Has It... (new baseball coach)

Rumor has it, after a long coaching search, Lincoln County has decided to hire Kalen Gibson as the new baseball coach. Gibson appears to be inexperienced, as a head coach, but has an impressive resume as a player.

Gibson is from the bluegrass state. He is a graduate of Webster County High School. He went on to pitch for the University of Kentucky after high school. He pitched for UK for three seasons, then transferred to Murray State University. Gibson went 12-9 in his career at UK, and 4-8 at Murray State.

Gibson was drafted by the Chicago Cubs in the 36th round of the 2002 draft. But, obviously elected to attend UK.

Hopefully, Gibson's playing experience will pay off and he will get the baseball program on track.
