-Coach John Hines
“I am extremely excited to be at South Laurel. I think the opportunity is a wonderful one. Thanks to Dr. Kidd and Coach Irwin for extending this opportunity, and I am ready to get the ball rolling. I hope the players are ready to get to work and make South Laurel Cardinal Football something special.”
“South Laurel High School is proud to announce the appointment of Coach John Hines as our new head football coach. With a distinguished background in coaching, a commitment to academic achievement, and a track record of championship success, Coach Hines is poised to elevate the football program and continue the rich athletic tradition at South Laurel.”
-SLHS Principal Dr. Jeremy Kidd
“Coach Hines was highly successful as the head coach at Pulaski County for 25 years and developed that program into a consistent winner and a 5A state championship without any previous program success to speak of. His impressive record of over 200 wins and multiple championships speaks for itself.
Coach Hines has been one of Kentucky’s most successful and well-respected coaches over the past three decades and we believe he is the right person to lead our program back to success and to take us to new heights, given the strong support in our community, our top-notch facilities, and the other program facets already in place to help our athletes have success. We could not be more excited for our players and the South Laurel community.”
