Nominee's Accomplishments at the High School Level in Kentucky:
Randy Reese was a pathfinder in high school football for over 4 decades. His roles as a leader, educator, mentor, and sport innovator contributed far more than his impressive career accomplishments of 3 State Championships (Ludlow - '75, Paris - '81/'82 & Runner Up - '84). As the 1975 Coach of the Year, Coach Reese was the epitome of what the coaching profession should embody early in his career. Aside from his State Titles and 20 + District Championships, he advanced the quality and standard of the game by bringing college-level innovation to the high school level as he often visited major college programs to learn. He was likely one of the first high school coaches in the state to utilize statistical analytics for game preparation, which is now a common practice around the state. Though he is now retired, his thumbprint on the game still exists either from former players that are now coaching or current coaches that continue to seek his advice in their own careers.
