Herb Childers, a 26 year old native of Pulaski County, was hired as Mason County's second coach on August 23, 1963. Former Maysville High School basketball and baseball star Allen Smith was hired as the assistant coach. Childers was a graduate of Carson Newman College. He coached one season at Burnside and four seasons at Ferguson. In three seasons as the Royals' coach, Childers had a 51-30 record. His teams won district championships in 1964 and 1966.
The 2009-10 season was the 50th for the Mason County Royals. I blogged about the Royals' history throughout the season. I will continue to add photos, the team rosters for subsequent seasons and update records in earlier posts. I gathered the information from a number of sources including the Mason County record book compiled by Tony Sapp and Rick Swartz, old score books, old newspaper stories and my own score sheets and journals. I hope you enjoy the blog.
