I got a personal tour of the Valdosta facilities from a customer I was visiting who used to play for them. Their field house was a combination locker room, weight room, training room and museum that the average FCS team would be glad to have.

I retired in 2007 from Moody AFB, which is located in Valdosta, and was a Wildcat supporter while there. That program is finally starting to gain ground again as they may have settled on a coach. I was there from 2000-07 and while there they went through about 3 coaches in that time frame. One of the best games I watched was the 2003 state championship they played vs. Camden County, who was coached at that time by Gate City native Jeff Herron. He's a legend in GA. I've lived in several states to include the big 3 (CA, FL and TX) which are considered recruiting hot beds, I'd have to say Texas is king! From the fans, to the players, to the facilities, they do it big in TX! But growing up in SW VA, I'd still take our football any day.
