Metcalfe County High School announces new boys basketball head coach
EDMONTON, Ky. – Metcalfe County High School introduced its new boys’ basketball coach on Friday.
Brandon Combs joined the Hornets from Warren East, where he served as head boys basketball coach for six years and then as athletic director for six years.
He previously coached at Menifee County, leading them to the 16th region tournament, and Cumberland County, where he won a district championship.
Coach Combs has been part of 7 district championships and 4 regional championships.
He was a volunteer assistant coach at Metcalfe County High School from 1999-2001, and was on Coach Tim McMurtrey’s coaching staff during the 2001 district championship.
“I am extremely humbled to be selected to lead a basketball program in a place that is special, like Metcalfe County,” Combs said.“
This is definitely a full circle moment for my family and me, as I started my coaching career as a volunteer assistant coach at MCHS while attending WKU.”
MCHS Principal Joseph Eaton said, “We are so excited to have Coach Combs returning to Metcalfe County High School to take the helm of the boys basketball program. He brings extensive experience and a wealth of knowledge about basketball, particularly in the 16th District and the 4th Region. We look forward to his future success at MCHS.”
Coach Combs said he will guide his team with Effort, Attitude, and Trust.
“We want to be mentioned with other programs as the best in the 4th Region. To do that, we must first work to improve in the 16th District. I want the student-athletes down the road to reflect and think about how their experiences in education-based athletics were and how competing at a high level was fun,” Combs said.
Combs graduated from Barren County High School and Western Kentucky University. He received a Master’s Degree in Special Education from Campbellsville University and Rank I certification from the University of the Cumberlands.
Coach Combs is married to Whitney Combs, and they have one son, Warner, who is 16.
