West Jessamine Hires New Head Coach

West Jessamine boys basketball had an amazing season. They made it to the final four of the state tournament, and represented the 12th region better than it has been represented since South Laurel left a few years ago. But the great season had a bad ending for the Colts. They lost one of the best coaches in the region/area, Robert Hammonds.

Their head man left West for Letcher County Central. It seemed like a weird move to me. West is returning a few good players, including potential all-state candidate Jared Paulson.

West filled their vacancy with another very good coach, Damon Kelly. Kelly was at Lafayette this past season, and was very successful there. It's hard to replace a coach as talented as Robert Hammonds, but West got another good one.

Personally, I thought one of their assistants from last years team would've got the job.
