BigWinners 1,643 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 I was just curious about who are the longest tenured HCs in SWVA. I know Mance has been at Richlands for a good chunk of time, if you include Clintaood then Rick Mullins has been HC for an extended period, same with Jimbo in Norton, but can someone give me exact numbers? Turner I know, since 2011. I know Amburgey is new in Abingdon, Akers has been at GC three, maybe four? seasons, Rhoades is in his first year at Eastside, Owens is in his second year in Wise, Lee changes coaches so often I can't keep up (I know it's Pendergraft and he's been there a couple years but Lee is notoriously hard on coaches), etc... But I know very little about Palmer in Graham, Harris is in what, year two in Tazwell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew Colley coached Haysi forever but I didn't even consider Hubbard. @swva_havok_fan or someone else, when did Rick take over in Clintwood?

Optimal62 178 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 Has Lowe been the head coach there that long? I didn't realise that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW_VA_boy 492 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 (edited) Took over in 2003 after his dad Don retired from coaching after 2002 season. Don had been there as the HC since midway through the 1991 season. Don had been an assistant prior to that. Not sure when he came over from Giles.
