Bradley Boone named head football coach at Mason County

Bradley Boone, a 2015 graduate of Mason County High School and an assistant football coach for the Royals for the last six seasons, has been promoted to head coach. 

Here is the press release:

Maysville Ky—Mason County High School and the Mason County Athletic Department are very excited to

announce Bradley Boone as the next Head Football Coach at Mason County High School.  

Bradley has served as an Assistant Coach for the Royals for the last six seasons.  Boone is a

2015 graduate of Mason County High School where he played tight end, quarterback, and punted for the Royals under the direction of Coach David Buchanan.    

Coach Boone played football collegiately at Union College before transferring to Morehead State University, where he graduated in 2019. Coach Boone began his teaching and coaching career at Mason County High School in 2019.  He has experience as a position coach on both sides of the ball and most recently has been the Defensive Coordinator for the Royals.  Coach Boone’s knowledge of the game, his rapport with student-athletes, along with the fact that he loves his alma mater and the football program make him an outstanding candidate to be the leader of the Royals football program.  Coach Boone replaces Coach Tony Adams, who was hired in February but resigned last week due to personal reasons.  Good luck Coach Boone and GO ROYALS! 

Tony Adams is the Royals' new head coach

Tony Adams was announced on Saturday as the eighth head coach in the history of the Mason County football program. Here is the press release from Mason County High School:

Mason County High School is excited to announce Tony Adams as our new Head Football Coach.   Coach Adams comes to us from Greenwood High School in Bowling Green, KY  where he has been the Defensive Coordinator and Linebackers Coach  for Greenwood HIgh School since 2021. He also served as the Special Teams coordinator in 2020 and has been the Head Coach of the Greenwood Lacrosse team.  Previously, he served as Defensive Coordinator at Portland High School in Tennessee from 2016 - 2019.  

Coach Adams attended Greenwood High School where he played football for legendary high school coach Ed Smart.  Adams received a Bachelor's Degree in Business Management from Mid-Continent University in 2006 and his Master’s in Teaching LBD in K-12 Special Education in 2022 from the University of The Cumberlands. Coach Adams has been married for 21 years to his wife Valerie and together they have 3 children:  Tyler, Aden and Adysen. 

“This is a new and exciting chapter, and I’m ready to embrace the responsibility of leading the Royals to success.  Being a member of Mason County High School is a privilege. My family and I are thankful for this opportunity.”    Coach Tony Adams, Head Coach Mason Co Royals Football. 

A press conference and meet and greet is being planned for Friday, February 14th, @ The Fieldhouse at 4:00 PM. 

Joe Wynn resigns after four seasons as the Royals' head coach

 Mason County head football coach Joe Wynn has resigned to become the head coach at Simon Kenton High School in Independence.

In four seasons as the Royals’ coach, Wynn compiled a record of 36-14 (.720) making him the second winningest coach in the history of the program.

Mason County won its first 13 games of the 2022 season and district and region championships before losing to Bardstown in the state semifinals. The 13 wins are a school record.

Wynn, the 2024 Class 4A District 5 Coach of the Year, will be the 13th head coach at Simon Kenton.

In a post on X, Mason County Athletics wrote, “We appreciate Coach Wynn’s hard work and dedication to Mason County High and to the Mason County football program. We wish him nothing but the best in his new position.”

Mason County also announced on X that assistant coach Bradley Boone will be in charge of the football program until a new coach is hired.
