THORNTOWN – Justin Pelley knows the old axiom that a coach is not supposed to have favorites. He prefaces what he is about to say with a qualifying line of, “I know I’m not supposed to say who is my favorite.”
But Pelley, 41, in his 10th year coaching football at Western Boone and has led the Stars to three state championships. He is not getting run out of town anytime soon. And it is unlikely anyone on the team is going to argue his choice, anyway.
“It’s not a secret,” Pelley said.
