Scott County head coach Billy Hicks has been selected to coach the East team in the McDonald's All-American game in Chicago.
GEORGETOWN, Ky. - The No. 1 Kentucky Wildcats have two signees who'll play in the McDonald's All-American game in Chicago, and one of them, Alex Poythress, will be playing for a coach from the Bluegrass State. Scott County head coach Billy Hicks has been selected to coach the East squad in the March 28th game in Chicago's United Center.
Hicks is the state's winningest active coach and notched his 800th career victory last month. Hicks said that he believes taking his Cardinals to play in so many national tournaments over the years led him being recognized by his peers on the selection committee. Hicks said that he feels his teams have represented Kentucky well in tourneys like the Beach Ball Classic and City of Palms.
"It's an honor" to be selected, said Hicks.
University of Kentucky signee Archie Goodwin will also play in the game for the West.
