After a whirlwind of interviews and decision making, Warren County High School officials held a meeting with the baseball team and any parents wishing to attend Friday to announce their decision on a new coach to helm the Pioneer baseball program after coach Adam Childs was released from his position May 22.Executive principal Jimmy Walker said the decision would be made expeditiously and without undue haste to find the “right” candidate.It took two weeks, and beginning immediately coach Eron “Trice” Powers will now lead the Pioneers going forward.“The process was a good one. We had a lot of applicants,” said Walker “It got down to three, and got down to two last night and we finally came to a decision around 8:45 p.m. last night and I believe it’s the right decision.”According to Walker, Powers has the “right stuff” to be able and help the program and he has the utmost confidence in Powers to do the right thing.“I have the utmost respect for his father,” Walker said. “That’s not to say I don’t for him as well, but he comes from a long lineage of baseball and he’s going to do it the right way.
