sixcat 2,919 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 I am only posting this because of the irony and sheer humor. Tom Hale has had an impressive tree of assistant coaches for such a terrible head coach. H.S. Ingo - took George Wythe to a state title. Mark Dixon - has built Galax into a perennial contender. Shane Allen - is in the process of rebuilding the tradition at Tazewell. Eddie Sloss - has a very young team at Carroll County. By all accounts, he is a very good coach. Brandon Harner - hasn't missed a beat at George Wythe since taking over for Ingo.

barondawg77 115 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 I know the list is long, but does anybody have the tree on Merrill Gainer? Off the top of my head would be Carlock, Hicks, Rider, and thats just a few. I would love to see that list! cityofRaven 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
