Coach George Critz with the 5th Region trophy 2025-03-20 - Adair Co., KY - Photo from Coach Deron Breeze. Coach Breeze writes, "I want to take a minute and recognize Coach George Critz. As the head coach here, I find it important to recognize all former head coaches, players, and traditions. This thing is not about me, but the people, fans, and kids of this community. Mr. Critz was a longtime educator in our county and a wonderful person. We honored all the former head coaches with our title including Coach Shelly, Coach Fudge, and Coach Young. They, along with Coach Burr, Critz, Nixon, Blair and others built the tradition that makes it special for me to sit in that chair. I had to scout tonight, but sent one of my coaches to the hospital to visit Coach Critz and let him hold the trophy. I hope everyone enjoys the picture. Thank you Coach for all you have done. See you at RUPP! Pack the house and ROLL TRIBE!" Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
