Keeping the football previews in Johnson County, Randy sits down with Paintsville head football coach Brian Melvin as he prepares for his second season leading the Tigers.
Coach Melvin looks back at what he learned during his first year at the helm and how those experiences have helped shape the program heading into 2026. Randy and Coach Melvin discuss the work the Tigers have put in throughout the offseason, the progress they’ve made over the summer, and how the team is coming together as kickoff approaches.
The two also take a closer look at the returning players, some of the Tigers stepping into bigger roles, and what Paintsville will need to do to compete throughout the upcoming season.
