A really nice article today by Nate Hubbard in the Bristol Hearld Courier about Abingdon's Head Coach Garrett Amburgey being the prep coach of the year. https://www.heraldcourier.com/sports/prep-football-coach-of-the-year-garrett-amburgey-abingdon/article_c7710f36-25a8-11e9-bc6b-3fed4996099f.html?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook&utm_campaign=user-share

There is a natural geographic bias that affects all regional papers. I'm not saying that's the case here, but Graham is on the periphery of the BHC coverage area and nowhere near to its circulation area. We fans can be purists, but the media doesn't always have that luxury. After all, newspapers are in the business of selling newspapers.

I agree that Amburgey did a good job considering the timing of when he got hired. My argument against him winning the award would be he finished first in a 2A district with a 3A school and then got blown out in a 2nd round regional matchup. Winning the Mountain District is great but I don't think many people had picked Graham to win a state title before the season began which is more impressive.

I don’t think Stan Rogers is going to make the blue Devils any better. He has not coached. Football in decades. So far. I don’t see anything going on that is going to make them better. If football going to improve then houseright has to get out of girls b-ball. There too much to do right now to get ready for August. I hope this is his last year doing that. Reed is not going to be the same Reed we all know and love. I believe he disappointed he did not get head coach. His heart won’t be all the way in it. Still see some rough years to come.
