Christian County basketball coach Kerry Stovall has resigned after 10 seasons at the school.
Stovall made the announcement at a press conference at the school today. Stovall coached CCHS to their first basketball state title last month and was named Associated Press Coach of the Year this year.
However, the move came as a shock to no one. Stovall has made it known that he has missed seeing his children, Shelby and Clayton, grow up and compete in sports.
Stovall made the emotional announcement in front of a room packed with players, students, and teachers. He broke down several times when talking about his family and his team. Stovall said he informed his team Wednesday of his decision and some players were very upset.
Stovall was 201-99 in 10 seasons as Christian County coach. He will remain on as athletic director at CCHS. Stovall said he would submit his resignation Monday, giving the school 30 days to post the job, then hire a new coach before the end of the school season.
In 24 years as a head coach at Dawson Springs, West Hopkins, Muhlenberg South, and Christian County, Stovall's teams were 367-314.
