I saw one of the Keene boys officiating some games in Roanoke a year or so ago, so he's at least been around the game for a while.

Former player with Emory Ties.....Thad Wells fits that bill lol
Also: Cain Ringstaff, Caleb Jennings, Jeremy Keene, Josh Keene, I'm sure their are others but those just came to my head.

Finally someone with some sense. I agree 100% with all of this. Great year for Radford, can’t take anything away from them, but end of the day RH is better and has been preparing for state games almost a decade, this week will be like any week this time of year for RH. In Radford it’ll be all kinds of commotion and people talking about this and that and what ifs. In RH it’s just practice as normal and greasing the wheels. Been there done that.

Can this board handle Crist in the championship?😂

I bet its Thad Wells lol

I know Floyd Co doesn't technically fall within what is considered SWVA on the map at the top of the page, however, I feel like this is something everyone would appreciate and a coaching career that seems to have lasted forever and a tenure we might not see again for a while.

I'm not sure "quality 1A teams" are comparable to Radford, Glenvar, and Graham.  Yes, they lost all 3 of those games, but not sure if beating Rye Cove, PH, and Holston are comparable.  The one that stands out to me is giving up 51 points to Narrows; which Galax did gave up 56 to Radford....but once again Narrows doesn't quite compare to Radford.  The game might be close till halftime or mid 3rd, but in the end I think Galax ground pounds the ball and pulls away.  Galax=take snap, hand to RB, get down hill.  HHS=get good shotgun snap while blocking a nose, all OL make a good block without holding, QB make the right read (probably under pressure), make a good throw, catch and secure the ball, get up field; that's a lot in 1 play.  I know they've done it all season and done it well.  However, this isnt a normal game and normal circumstances.  Galax by 2 TDs. 

I guess Radford now likes Coach Crist?

Found this article several years ago and always suggest it to young guys who say they want to go play at the next level.  From my college playing experience its point on.

This is normal at pretty much everywhere.  You take a kid whos been a "stud" at his high school and throw him in with 80-100, "studs" from their high school and the cream rises to the top very quickly.  A majority of them cant handle that nor the 13-14 hour days of football for the school year and then the expectations of what you are supposed to do during the summer to show at camp in shape and ready to roll.  Lastly, most cant handle college education, they don't know how to study and do work on their own.  College professors don't care if you are a football player and have little to no time to do work or study; zero time management for a lot of freshman.  A lot flunk out or quit school after 1 semester.  My freshman class at E&H on day 1 was around 90 to 100 on senior day it was 18.

Coach Grande was a top notch guy, coached myself and older brother. He is currently at Iowa State doing big things with their coaching staff. Coached at E&H and Ferrum; tough lose for VA high school guys moving on to the next level.

I think both teams have guys on recruiting trips to the Georgia/Florida game.

Lebanon-I have not seen them in person but several games on NFHS.  All the talk about the QB being the best on that end of the state I think was a little over hyped now that they are 1-3 and 2 of the loses have been by 20+.  In all my years if a kid is head and shoulders better than most everyone they play then he can do a lot on his own.  I understand there's 11 on the field but at their level one really good player can make some big plays and keep the games somewhat close.  I may be in the wrong but for what I was reading before the season I would've thought they'd be 3-1 or 4-0.  

I did hear that the Altavista job had almost 20 applicants and from a fairly reliable source.
