Bluefield researcher 1,195 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 Robert E. Lee is in Staunton. Wilson Memorial is in Fishersville about 5 miles east of Staunton on the other side of I-81. Riverheads is about 10 miles south of Staunton. You can see the school from I-81. It is not in Staunton, it is at Greenville although it is a Staunton post office address.

Liam McPoyle 1,863 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 Thanks for sharing @Bluefield researcher. I just read where Merril Gainer coached both Glynn Carlock and Joel Hicks at Big Creek. Needless to say, the communities of Coalwood and War have produced some phenomenal people. http://www.roanoke.com/webmin/other/coach-s-coach/article_46d5fe3e-b5bb-513c-8dc2-cd5bfaa3f053.html Ryan4VT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam McPoyle 1,863 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 Holy Cow, @Bluefield researcher . You're amazing. Did all these coaches play for Merrill Gainer or were some assistant coaches? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did all these coaches play for Merrill Gainer or were some assistant coaches? They are either first or 2nd generation coaches. They either played for him, coached under him before coaching elsewhere or played for coaches that coached or played under him (2nd generation such as coach Palmer is).
