A post I just made about the Central Region semis got me thinking about coaches in the region. I don't want this topic to become a critique of specific coaches, so I want to get that out there up front.
What I would prefer to do is build a run down of the pedigree of the coaches in the area. I'm talking about who they played for in high school and college, and who they've coached under.
For example, I know Tim Lowery played college ball at Longwood and coached at Clover Hill. I'm not sure who his high school coach was or who he coached under at Clover Hill (or any other previous stops).
Stoots (Matoaca) played under Lowery at Clover Hill, then went to Longwood under Buddy Bolding, before coaching at Matoaca under Grant O'Dell.
I know Ray Moore (Freeman) played for his dad at Freeman, then played college ball at Mary Washington and coached in the Hanover program prior to getting the head job at Freeman.
I think Nuckols (Patrick Henry) played at Goochland under Bryan Gordon, then went to UVA under Womack and has coached at PH under Hart.
Elrod (Atlee) played for Kenny Lewis at Lee-Davis, then played under Keyes at VCU before several coaching stops under various coaches.
I believe Mickey Roberts at Prince George also played at Longwood under Buddy Bolding (by the way, it is amazing to see how many former Longwood players are now coaching).
I thought this would be a pretty interesting discussion that hopefully won't go sideways too quickly.
