    Bobby Martin resigns at Martinsville

    I know this is the fall sports board, but Chatham has had similar turnover in basketball and baseball is almost as bad. Basketball is looking to hire a 4th coach since 2020 we well (Warren, Paseiwiciz, Fitzgerald, new guy). Baseball went from Grohgan to Anderson to a new coach. That's a lot of...

    Bobby Martin resigns at Martinsville

    I associate him with Henry County due to coaching at Magna Vista and owning a house in Collinsville. Seems like a move he'd make and the timing fits. I still haven't gotten to know Joe well and if he's leaving Pittsylvania County I won't get the chance. And leaving Chatham isn't a surprise if...

    Bobby Martin resigns at Martinsville

    I wonder if they already found their guy. Joe Fielder from Chatham (formerly Magna Vista assistant) left Chatham. Job was posted today. I haven't officially heard where he's going but Martinsville would make sense with Joe being a Henry County guy.

    Piedmont District 2023

    I think Tunstall will be greatly improved, but that may mean losing games 42-14 instead of 56-0. That's a huge difference but it may not show much in their overall record. I think they hired a great young coach in Kirkland Brown who has done a great job recruiting kids to play football since so...

    Altavista Fb Job Open

    Well that's interesting. I've always felt education was important. So is he a teacher's aide or does he work outside the school system? Pretty much all the guys I know that were head coaches had degrees, some with a master's or even a doctorate. I'm not sure on Dan River since Ferrell may not...

    Altavista Fb Job Open

    Andy Cox was hired in 2018. Average points allowed by season 2018: 43 2019: 39 2020 (played spring of 2021): 38 2021: 28 2022: 37 I believe Deloach was the DC for 2020 (spring 2021) and 2021 fall and was on the defensive staff 2018-2019. Nothing impressive about those years but 2021 fall did...

    Altavista Fb Job Open

    Don't forget the Brown kid at RB that also was a stud in the 100/200 in track. And he was like the third fastest on the team behind Juan and Meche.

    Chatham @ Tunstall

    Wow! Quite the blowouts. Usually a school is strong in both or weak in both. Interesting seeing such opposite scores. I've heard the freshman girl at Chatham was really good.

    Appomattox vs Graham

    All the losses? Nope. But they were missing multiple players in the Chatham win (flu game where one-third of their starters were out) and Pennix was hurt for multiple games at the end of the year. They still won all the district games when Pennix was hurt. Early in the season it was just...

    Chatham @ Tunstall

    I read it was 90-29 after three quarters when they Tunstall coached pulled his best players. I thought Chatham would be much more competitive and Coles would keep them in the game but that obviously didn't happen.

    Appomattox vs Graham

    What game did you see Appo play? They had a number of games where they were missing key players. This allowed younger guys to grow through the course of the season. Now with everyone pretty much healthy (as healthy as you can be this late in the season), Appo would beat themselves from earlier...

    Appomattox vs Dan River

    I knew that. Don't know why I typed Copeland. Getting old I guess. Should be fun to watch though.

    Appomattox vs Dan River

    I'll be watching this game and I'm interested to see DR's Coleman vs Appo's Copeland. One of the best WR vs DB matchups that'll happen in the state this year and it'll be in 2A football. Lots of other things will contribute to this game but that will make for a fun individual matchup.
