The 1986-87 season is the first year of high school basketball at The Van Blake School, which is home to the Pioneers. Located in Van Blake, Kentucky in Stovall County, the school is a small private institution founded by Quakers in 1894. The school resisted athletics until this year when a new headmaster initiated the program in an effort to bolster school spirit.
Their head coach is 28-year old Arthur Lammers, who played at Western Hills HS (Frankfort, KY) and who remains the 2nd leading scorer in school history and after walking on at Kentucky decided to pursue a career in coaching. As a young coach, he took the first job he could get and that led him to Van Blake.
We're starting off with a prestige of 3, so hopefully that'll prevent the team from being especially good, though I'm leaving everything on autopilot for the AI to manage and we'll just watch it play out from season to season until there are seniors to try to import and see if they get recruited.
