Absolutely agree on all three. I'd also throw Josh Shoemaker into the conversation. I'm fairly confident he could've also had a successful D1 football career.

Despite a vast number of great players at Gate City, I believe Phil Rogers, Mickey Rogers, Chad Beasley, and Jake Houseright stand above all the rest. Of course all four went on to have successful careers at Virginia Tech. Phil Rogers was VT's first 1,000 yard rusher before switching positions to become the school's first Black QB. He was drafted by the Cardinals and played a season in the CFL. Beasley was drafted by the Vikings and played for the Browns.

Mine would be Edd Clark, Tom Turner, Travis Turner, and Travis Clark with HMs including Chris Mabe and Jamie Jessee

Great memory, Sixcat. Brandon Steele,1996 Roanoke Timesland POY, went to Penn State as a walk-on before earning a scholarship. https://gopsusports.com/news/2000/12/21/brandon_steele_earns_nacda_post_graduate_scholarship.aspx

Name the Top 4 football players you think deserve to be on a given school's Mt. Rushmore. Please add a brief statement/information to justify your picks and help educate readers who might not be familiar with those players.

I think it might've been called the Clinch Valley District.

Gauntlet is an accurate description. I remember all those teams being in the "1970s NRD" except for Floyd Co.

Yelp.. LOL..Not a banner week for the west coast nerds..They were also slightly off on Graham's margin of victory

IMHO, Glass has a good chance to get to the finals, but would be a major underdog once there.
