[Ed. Note: On Friday, the Kroger KSR Game of the Week heads to the mountains for Johnson Central at Letcher County Central. As part of our preview this week, we will be remembering Jim Matney, the late, great Johnson Central coach who passed away from complications due to COVID-19 in September.]
A mountain-made man that loved his holler, his family and his program passed away Sept. 28 after battling complications from COVID-19.
Jim Matney was much more than the football and wrestling coach at Johnson Central High School. He was a son, a brother, a husband, an uncle, a friend—and most importantly, a father.
