Mitchell suspended

Long-time Lynn Camp Football Coach David Mitchell has been suspended until further notice.

“It’s under review.” Mitchell said of his suspension. He was unable to address the reason for the suspension.

Mitchell has also been suspended of his coaching duties with the Track Team that is getting ready for the regional meet next week.

Mitchell’s career with the Wildcats have spanned over 34 years, making him one of the longest active coaches in the state of Kentucky.

He has over 150 wins in his 34 years with the Wildcats including numerous district championships, a regional title and a state semifinal finish when he guided Lynn Camp to a 9-5 record, losing to Beechwood one game before the state championship game.

Hulett said school officials are still trying to decide on a track coach.
