MOUNT VERNON, Ky. (WYMT) - The Rockcastle County football team is a family affair once again after over a decade.

Head coach Chris Larkey returns to the program where both he and his father have coached after 13 years at North Laurel.

“Obviously I want to live up to what my dad’s done,” said Coach Larkey. “I want to make him proud and I want to make sure the tradition carries on.”

Much of last year’s team is returning ready to learn under a new staff.

“I feel like we did good but we wasn’t there as a team,” said senior defensive back Ethan Tyree. “Coach Larkey has really brought us together.”
