Hey guys, I had the pleasure of interviewing longtime Starmount Football Head Coach B.W. Holt last week. Since he was inducted into the NCHSAA Hall of Fame class of 2026. It was great. He has stories upon stories that were on air and off air. I work for a radio station in Vance County and he coached in nearby Franklinton which is why I wanted to interview him. We talked a lot about everywhere he was during his time in coaching. Here is the link if you would like to listen to it. Again this was fun to do.

SportsTalk: Former Franklinton Football Coach B.W. Holt Inducted into NCHSAA Hall of Fame - WIZS

The two state championships his teams earned at Rocky Mount Academy are memorable, but legendary football coach B.W. Holt said he’d always remember that first win as head coach at Franklinton High School back in the late 1970’s. “Franklinton is a very special place,” Holt said on Wednesday’s...

He had some GREAT teams at Rocky Mount. A shame he never won a title there. In 05 they beat Rose in the regular season only to fall to them in the playoffs. Rose would then go on to win the title.

It's crazy that with some of the teams he had, he only won championships in 8 man. Phenomenal program builder that struggled to win the big one.

Just had some tough luck at SHS in the 4 western regional finals:

1989 - lost in OT to Monroe & Richard Huntley
1990 - lost 7-3 at Thomasville - Carlos King’s TD controversy
1996 - lost 13-7 to Bandys and stopped on 1 foot line
1997 - lost 19-14 at Rosman - TD called back on “clipping the punter” call

4 games by 18 points

Also the 1994 team that went 11-0 through regular season was upset in playoffs by West Rowan (injury to Russ Pardue on first TD drive). Still think that team would have made a deep run without injuries.

Thomasville lost to that same Monroe team, 19-18 in 1989. And in 1990, lost the state championship 14-6 to Clinton after squeaking by you guys. Some good football back then.
