I was wondering what players from Bluefield, Graham, Princeton and all the area teams have went on to play D-1 football or in the pros.

Mike Compton - Richlands, WVU, NFL

Heath Miller - Honaker, UVA, NFL

Thomas Jones - Powell Valley, UVA, NFL

Julius Jones - Powell Valley, ND, NFL

Chad Beasley - Gate City, VT, NFL

 

I'm sure there are many more local guys who played in the NFL. Too many D-1 college players to list here.

My roommate was bragging about Clark Harris from Rutgers going to the same high school as him. His school had like 3000 people to. That says alot about the talent we have in the sotuern wv swva area.

Didn't Issac Montgomery from Princeton go on to play football at UNC and then transferred to VT for his last year or two?

Yes, I remember Issac. He was a DT I believe.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but did he not start out at Marshall?

Possibly, but I know he finished out his last few years at Glenville St.
