“When I first came here to Pulaski County High School I was
just trying survive, win some games, be a successful coach,
and raise my kids. And as life has evolved, all my kids like
basketball and they have made that their life.”

“Anything that comes along, with
this job, he has pretty much seen
it or done it,” John Fraley laughed.
“Then, I have my brother Shannon
who works with me at the high
school, but he also works our feeder
program - which is second to none
in the state.”
“My dad and brother always give
me suggestions and let me do with
it what I want,” John Fraley added.
“But a lot of times I just go to them
and ask them for advice, and with
that many ideas bouncing around

we usually get the right one.”
Pulaski County High School senior
point guard Colton Fraley cherishes
every moment spent on the hard-
wood with his other family mem-
bers.
“It has been special to have my
whole family around me every prac-
tice and every game,” Colton Fraley
laughed. “It has been a blessing to
be given a lot of basketball knowl-
edge between my grandpa, my dad
and my uncle. It is a blessing to me
that all of them have coached me
throughout my basketball career,
and I feel like I have become the
best basketball player I can be from
all their knowledge handed down to
me.”
Taking Father’s Advice
With any family, advice passed
down from generation to generation
has alway been a part of the family
culture. But for the Fraley family,
the advice passed down from gener-
ation to generation has sometimes
been about basketball.
