#BBN 128 Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 Lets get some input on who everyone thinks the coaches of the year should be in Region D 1A and Region D 2A? 1A - I'll have to throw Thomas Walker head coach Nick Johnson in there, to take a team that was 2-8 two years ago to 7-2 this year and very well could of been 9-0 and 2 back to back playoff appearances. Hard to not throw out a vote for Johnson. Jimbo Adams is always in talks with this as well, because he always has Norton in the playoffs and ready to make a deep run. 2A - Someone throw some names out there in 2A, of course Rick Mullins at Ridgeview is always in question for this.......but who else would you guys nominate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcon Mania 235 Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 You know who's name should be out there. Garrett Amburgey. granted he isn't a 1A or 2A coach but the only 3A team in the coverage area usually gets overlooked. Amburgey has only lead a team to much success this season that a lot of people considered out and in a rebuilding year with the coach getting the job 2 days before two a days. Regardless of what people think, Amburgey has lifted Abingdon to new heights and energized the fan-base. Gridiron60 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know anything about him or his coaching history, but I can definitely say that Abingdon looked much better this year than last.

Regardless of what people think, Amburgey has lifted Abingdon to new heights and energized the fan-base. Agreed, Amburgey has took the Falcons to another level this year. I've not seen them in person but watched a little bit of the Union game on TV, and they looked pretty good. Hopefully they can win a few games in the playoffs. He definitely has a solid foundation after his 1st year at the helm, and a great job has been done on such short notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicMakesMeHigh 67 Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 Legion Field, Row 3, 50 yard line.... those coaches know everything, they never called a bad play all season (make that three seasons). Got the most out of their admission fee. I vote for them DB-6130, swva_havok_fan, Gridiron60 and 4 others 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-star 19 Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 This is a no brainer. Tony Palmer has won more games in his first 3 years than any coach in the area including Carlock, Simons and Mance. Go Graham! Milo, olewave and Gridiron60 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hokie101 153 Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 I'd say Chilhowie and Ridgeview. They we're both picked to do what they've went out and done and that's win. Granted Ridgeview won't win the district but their only loss is to a 3A team. They had the bullseye on their backs all year and stepped up to the challenge.

Ryan4VT 4,546 Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 If Grayson wins tonight and wins a couple playoff games, their coach would have my vote. sixcat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swva_havok_fan 1,259 Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 I assume Coalfield Sports will have a coach of the year voting process at some point for the entire coverage area. If so, Amburgey would get my vote and it's not even close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union4sure 19 Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 I would put Turner in the pot for what he has done. He has won 8 games without James Mitchell or Jeb Stidham. Pretty good job in my opinion. Hhsdevils93 and Union_Fan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
who? 85 Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 Chris Akers. Don’t know how he won a game with the lack of talent on that team. Grapeape and Jags52 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Palmer’s PH team really came out of no where for me. Now they don’t play the toughest schedule but they took care of business in those games. They also beat a play off bound battle team and hung 23 on chilhowie which 2 more scores than anyone else could do. Warriors_XO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHS90 63 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 I would say in 1A Jeff Robinson or Mark Palmer. In 2A Rick Mullins. Jags52 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Graham WVU Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 Region D 2A Tony Palmer 32-5 in his last 3 seasons and 10-1 so far this season He has turned that Graham football tradition back to what it use to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hhsdevils93 39 Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 Rick Mullins at Ridgeview. The Wolfpack wasn’t supposed to make any noise this year. Beat Union early. Lost to 3A abingdon. Top seed in 2A. Still early in consolidation. Tough work to bring those kids together that quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weatherman 135 Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 This one is a no-brainer for either choice. Jeff Robinson of Chilhowie in 1A Rick Mullins of Ridgeview in 2A And if you are including 3A, Garrett Amburgey of Abingdon. Guys, he took over head coaching duties within 2 weeks of the season starting at A-town. He did a remarkable job. CHS90 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were picked as the preseason favorite for the M7 by many on this board, and plenty of us called them being the 1 seed in 2D. To me, they are exactly what I thought they’d be.

Same goober that you went sideways on for trying to throw mud on the loss of the Johnson man. I still think Mullins is a solid option for COY however.

goose111874 967 Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 I'd have to go with Abingdon and Thomas Walkers coaches because neither team was suppose to win as many games as they did. It's hard for me to vote for a coach whose suppose to have a good team. Turner also deserves a little credit, everyone questions his play calling and sometimes deservedly but to be 9-2 with how many kids he replaced is a pretty decent job.
