bucfan64 309 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 If I am not mistaken, Wright used to be an assistant to Wheeler. Could be wrong, but I think they may have been up near Roanoke somewhere..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frontierman95 10 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Coach Wright was an assistant with Coach Wheeler at VA High. I believe he went with him to Rustburg. Then came back to Marion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Highlanders Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 Paul Wheeler came to Pulaski County in the mid 1990's where he served as an assistant to former PC Coach Joel Hicks in which Wheeler played under at Woodrow Wilson (Beckley). There was even talk that Wheeler may have been a possible successor following Hicks. However, do to some unnecessary circumstances, Wheeler left PC for Lafayette in which in 2001, his Rams beat Pulaski County in the AA Division 4 state championship at Liberty. I think VHS is in excellent hands with Wheeler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
