Graham-VT Fan 46 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 You are entitled to your opinion I guess. But prior to 1973 when he took over what had Graham ever won in anything besides football? A state basketball title in 1956, and not another appearance until 1974, and after that 1987. That was the last one until 2002. What did baseball ever win? I can't ever remember Graham having a good baseball team as long as I have lived. And by that I mean a team capable of winning at least the region. Not to argue, but I stand by the fact that other than football Graham has never won at anything except for 1956. I guess it is wonderful for the basketball team to go what 9-17 and make the state tournament. Guess we need to give Doug Marrs credit for being such a wonderful AD if that is the case (rolls eyes). There were some pretty good baseball teams in the late 70s/early 80s. They beat Tazewell more often than not, beat Richlands, always advanced far into the Coppinger tourney (when it actually had some great competition...in fact made the finals one year before losing by one run to WV power Mount View), beat the best team in SWVA (Virginia High) on several occasions, and so on. Some of those teams had some talent.....only many of those guys had other things on their mind and didn't concentrate fully on the task at hand.

Well, Alleghany has never been known for football, but if he beat Rockbridge, Cave and Rustburg last season, that's pretty impressive to me.

redtiger 1,740 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Sounds like Graham got a good man. What type of offense did he run at Alleghany? VMI runs a Double Slot, could that be the direction he goes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futbolking 766 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 (edited) I assumed he was the new coach Just responding to previous posts about Graham needing an outsider....sorry, I didn't quote anybody when I responded...."may be" what the Dr. ordered....But I think he'd be my pick of the 6 remaining candidates.....Wyatt would be a solid pick, too but I think the better choice would be Baker. Wyatt may only have a few years left before he retires. Stay tuned to the school board meeting next week, if they have picked somebody....they will have to approve the hire at the next board meeting.

futbolking 766 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 (edited) lets hope they do by then cause ghs needs to get coach in very soon. I do believe they've already made their pick, I just don't think they'll make it public until the board approves it at the meeting next monday. I see that Baker is a Social Studies teacher, too. Is there an opening at Graham or the middle school for Social Studies? Edited June 8, 2011 by futbolking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghs73 157 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 bing bing bing....we may have a winner.... lets hope that if he gets the job he will bring ghs football back to it proud tradition of hard nose football. i have a friend that has worked at vmi for 40 plus years will have to check and see what she thinks about him and his years at vmi and how he got along with the kids. can only be a plus being even a small college coach for ghs. even though vmi has not been among the elite in thier division they have played hard with what they have had over they years.
