Yeah the Collins kid. Pound's best players for the last 5 years or so have been playing at clintwood norton wise and powell valley.

They have always had some really big kids there. Especially that one year, maybe 06, when they had that baldwin kid playing de. 6'7". Looked like his arms were six feet long lol

I heard BI Salyers may want to stay put. I agree, I think they have some good kids there. The main thing is that they need someone to come in and stay for a while. SOmetimes that is hard to do when you take in consideration all the other factors involved. They need some consistency.

Some coaches have made a living out of beating TV lol

Pound is a Cumberland district team playing in the LPD. Aint' gonna work. Doesn't really matter. They will be closed after this year. To get back to the topic, reckon who will try to take on VHS?

Looks like you know what it takes to win in the cumberland district. What a shame. Oh well. Too bad you can't take that knowledge and figure out how to win a Black Diamond district game. Heck, we would even take a win over a west virginia or a kentucky team.

Pound has had some of the best athletes in High School football history. NFL talent. Just ask the community and the parents. They will tell you. Should have won 10 state championships by now. 25 coaches in 60 years proves it's bad coaching. Only thing worse than a pound parent with an NFL quality p-nut football player is a bad coach at pound. Only one thing worse than that is a bad referree from Holston. ;)

I'm not going to PH. No need to wish me luck. I'm no more involved in any of this than you are.

Thurman is def. going to a good pool of talent in H-burg.

I have heard BI Salyers name come up.

Absolutely. I agree.

I think it is a combination of the two. I think he is a good coach but everyone knows it's real tough without jimmy's and joe's. What he went 47-4 and two state championships and then came to VHS and forgot how to coach? I don't think so. Same with Colobro. He didn't forget how to coach once he got across the tennessee line. You just do the best with what you have, however I have witnessed some "coaches" really mess up some good talent.

Published: March 16, 2011 Home / sports / football / high_school_prep / Bearcats' Thurman submits resignation By BHC Sports Desk Chris Thurman came to Virginia High with an extensive resume as an offensive guru and state champion. After two seasons and a 10-10 record, that run appears to be over. “He submitted his resignation today,†said VHS Athletic Director Barry Reed on Tuesday. Reed, however, would not comment on the coaching change or job search until the school board approved Thurman’s resignation at its next meeting. The Daily News Record in Harrisonburg, Va., reported on its website late Tuesday that Thurman, who went to college at James Madison University, had accepted the job at Harrisonburg High School. “He was an outstanding candidate,†HHS athletic director Joe Carico said. “He's been a very successful assistant coach. He’s been a very successful head coach.†Thurman could not be reached for comment late Tuesday. The Harrisonburg job opened with the resignation of longtime coach Tim Sarver after the 2010 season. Sarver compiled a 277-129-2 record in 26 seasons at Harrisonburg. In two seasons at Virginia High, Thurman led the Bearcats to a .500 record after a successful run at Gretna High School. In four seasons at the Central Virginia school he compiled a 47-4 record that included two Group A, Division 2 state titles. Virginia High averaged 34 points per game with its fast-paced spread offense in 2009, but missed out on a Group A, Division 2 playoff bid on the final night of the season. The Bearcats generated 27 points per game this past season but missed the playoffs again, dropping their final three games. In November, Thurman quelled rumors over his job status by announcing that he had no plans to step down as coach at Virginia High. Since the modern Virginia High School League playoff system was established in 1970, VHS has advanced to the playoffs 10 times. Harrisonburg advanced to the Group AA, Division 4 title game this past season at Liberty University with a 13-1 record. The Blue Streaks, who featured highly-touted senior running back Michael Holmes, dropped a 41-21 decision to Ashburn-based Briar Woods in the championship. The Blue Streaks have made 23 appearances in the state playoffs, with eight semifinal berths and one championship. Harrisonburg defeated Graham for the Division 3 state title in 2001. The Blue Streaks also advanced to the state finals in 2004.

I am sure the "powers that be" that may have told you something (which I believe you are lying) really intended for you to run your little legs like a school girl with a new boyfirend over to the nearest computer and gossip all over yourself. Ah - it's just a reflection of your character. You can't really help it if you are an untrustworthy individual. Have a nicer day.

People can have their opinions, I don't care if they like mark or not. I am just saying that this fool needs to quit spreading rumors to make himself feel good about "knowing" something no one else does. There have been two posts on here about who has the PH job. They may both be wrong, but why post that you "know" who has it so you can put that coach down? Probably because either Cavdaddy is Mcpherson and ate some sour grapes, or it's who I think it is and he is just a big cry baby and bad ref.

And finally, I'm not palmer. I know him and talk to him and he doesn't post on here or even read it. I have coached and know enough about all this to know that either you are lying, Mcpherson is lying, or the "decision makers" aren't being very professional if they are telling who they hire and don't hire even before the board has had a chance to vote on it. And you are even worse for starting all this, just to make jabs at mark. And you are supposed to be impartial as a ref. what a shame.

A wise coach, much wiser than you and not just a ref, once told me you can just about count on one loss for each freshman you start. And you think you are gonna be good with sophomores? At Holston? OK.

Well why would Mcpherson tell everybody he didn't get it then?

Redtiger, you are wise beyond your years! lol

Yep.

Yep

Nope

Not what I heard. Heard that they passed up Mcpherson. Heard Mcpherson was mad. Sour grapes I guess. And as far as beating "Palmer" teams, that is hilarious and idiotic at the same time. Everybody loves to brag about beating St. Paul with 150 kids in their high school. We will see what happens when he has more kids to draw from. Holston has had a good run of athletes. The down cycle is coming, if not here already. ;)

I think Pennington was the Bobcats

who cares about what?
