The Scott County Storms have claimed the Hopper Division Championship with an 8-1 season record. Under the leadership of Head Coach Darby Myers and assistant coaches William Deas, Dallas Newport, Rusty Ellis, and Cody Leib the Storms have conquered challenges and foes alike this season. The team’s offense racked up 271 points over the season, while their disciplined defense allowed only 76 points. Their lone setback came early in the season against Cumberland Gap, a program that had claimed the last four championships and entered the season undefeated. Learning from that loss and dealing with multiple injuries, the Storms became a team on a mission.
Coach Myers praised his team’s resilience and heart, saying, “These boys never quit. No matter what was thrown at them – injuries, tough opponents, or adversity – they came together as a brotherhood. That’s what makes this championship so special.”
For the team, winning the championship was more than a trophy, but a fulfillment of possibility, showing unity, effort, and belief along the way.
