For the record, I have to clear up a few misconceptions that has permeated around Vinton County since Chillicothe announced their coaching search. First and foremost, Coach Combs NEVER applied for the Chillicothe position. He was approached by the powers-to-be at Chillicothe for his services. Of course, Coach Combs was flattered and felt it necessary for his family's sake to speak with Chillicothe's administration. However, after several days of introspection, Coach Combs withdrew his name from consideration for the position of Boys' Varsity Basketball Coach at Chillicothe High School. Also, at no time was John Royster or any other individual on Sid Farkus' list was ever considered for Coach Combs' what would have been vacant position.
I would like to thank Sid Farkus for mentioning me as an heir apparent to Coach Combs. I think it is flattering that someone finds me worthy of consideration for a make believe position. Thank you.
Just one final note, for my part-time lunch time buddy: I will not apologize for my verbosity and I will not attempt to beguile you with an explanation for it. Know only this, I have worked very hard to improve myself in a myriad of ways and to belittle any achievement is bellicose.
