Things you never thought you would see in Charmco...

running zone read as scout team QB...
Yes folks, if you had been there today, you would see that he still has "it"...

Why is Greenbrier West and West Virginia a special place? I have lost count of the schools that have reached out to us. Thanks so much. Our kids are unbelievable. Today was a long day but we will be strong together and we will never forget a special kid in Chad Ramsey
#westpride
High school sports provide life lessons for a wide variety of kids. Often kids need sports much more than the sport needs the kids. Summer workouts show our kids are craving the hard work, togetherness, leadership, teamwork, accepting a role, success/failure, etc.

Chad it was an honor to coach you... to see how you came to work every day, became a great football player, and led our team through some tough days. Love you and always will. Your day came too soon go score some heavenly touchdowns for us

I have a lot of good friends, colleagues, acquaintances on twitter. I ask all of you stop and take a moment to pray for a young lady at West that needs it. We are all very blessed, and know life can change in an instant. God can heal, there is power in prayer!
#prayforpreslee
My mom is very weak and a long way to go but I brought her home from the hospital last night. Thanks to everyone for their prayers and thanks to Ruby Memorial for all their medical professionals!
#blessed
Been a great run, thank you to Cavalier Nation for all your support. Tough to end it that way but love this team. Blessed beyond what I deserve. Coaching in final 8 in football and basketball both is a nice way to remember all of this. The good Lord takes care of us.

Students, faculty, family, and friends gathered in Charmco Thursday, to remember Senior Chad Ramsey who passed away over the weekend.
Newswatch Reporter
@NolanKnightJr
takes you through the emotional scene.
Some like to say high school sports dont matter. Try how you feel for your kids when they lose their last one. Or your coaching brethren losing trying to get their kids to the big dance. Or the great conversations that will happen at the state tournament.
#brotherhood
Huggs is starting a walkon because of his extra effort. Buzz praises every player AND manager being early for 6am shootaround. Young people take note---life isnt easy. You get ahead by willingness to do extra and dedication. Sports lessons = life lessons

Big thank you to The Greenbrier and The Sporting Club for letting us get our boys a workout on artificial turf at an NFL quality facility! Now lets go BEAT SCOTT friday night!

No cell phone service for me in Monroe County... so about halfway home my phone is ready to melt from the messages pouring through... blessed to have so many good friends that care! Boys there are people paying attention... we aren't finished yet!
#westpride
This AD loves when the first weekend of November brings planning for football playoffs, volleyball state tournament, and cheerleading state tournament. Congrats to all our kids and thank you for your hard work!
#westpride
Thanks for everything Cavaliers. There isnt a group of boys in this world better than ours. Disappointing end but you represented the right way. Love you guys and always will.

Want a leader by example? Try Jacob Whitt. 3 days from the state championship and here he is after practice running extra hills. This young man has a bright future! Let’s win one more young man!
#westpride
Cavalier football had 13 seniors for equipment hand out Monday. These boys have worked their tails off to get to this point and done everything asked of them. Kids want to play. Parents want them to play. Give them a chance coronaworld!
#letthemplay
#westpride
The game didn’t go as we hoped, but these two sure bring smiles to Coach no matter what! Thank you to all of Cavalier Nation for an incredible season, the phenomenal support for our boys, and most of all to these two and my bonus daughters for always being there for me.
#blessed
Sorry/not sorry for being sappy, but never thought us waking up to our son crying and needing a diaper change would make me smile and bring tears to my eyes. I got a lot to learn about this dad stuff but I will get there. We are so blessed!

Phenomenal night in Charmco as the boys really came to play... and what a night for our lone senior Chase Hagy!! Super young man I am so blessed to have been a part of his life the last 4 years. And what a dunk to finish the night!

Why is it even with kickoff moved to 4pm a guy still can't just sleep in... or sleep much at all... must be BIG GAME NERVES... time to rise and shine boys, and show West Virginia what this football team is all about!

#wingame10
Back to back 18-4 seasons for the Cavaliers... so proud of how these boys have worked to be better and try to play the right way. They have truly bought into

Huge weekend for Cavalier fall sports! Cheerleaders qualify for states? CHECK. Volleyball qualify for states? CHECK. Football qualify for playoffs? CHECK. Might as well go 3 for 3 the next month!

Life = Perspective and I need it. End of our season sucked, I hate it for our boys BUT we had so much success and good times growing up. Flat tire on side of road today sucked BUT it didnt cause me to wreck and could be worse. WIN THE DAY WITH PPT
#PowerofPositiveThinking
Thank you to my boys and families for the opportunity to be there with you for our incredible season... I know not the ending we wanted but life isnt always easy or fun... however you guys made coaching easy AND fun. Love you boys and look forward to next year

My stepson flew off to Texas today... For a few weeks before he goes to Afghanistan for 10 months. Proud of him for serving his country. Just stay safe and keep his mom's worry at a minimum!
#usa
And though this season didnt end the way we hoped... these boys took our program and school and community to places we have not been in a long time... and they battled through adversity time and time again... this group of boys were amazing all year long
Love when my team takes ownership of not playing well... makes a list of things we need to improve on... and then goes out and plays their hearts out in front of a big crowd! And thank you Cavalier Crazies! Was a super night in Charmco!

Cavalier sports covid20-21 ended yesterday with the state track meet. While it was a challenging year for this AD, very proud of our seniors & all our student-athletes in a challenging year. I hope they all learned about life and we can build on our many successes!
#westpride
Cavaliers had a tough loss tonight but we will bounce back. Wow I cant tell you how proud this coach is of that kind of effort. Now THAT is another example of why we can't take sports away from our kids. We will get better and I can definitely do better!

Sad day today attending funeral of a coworker... you never know what tomorrow brings. Ms Gruia should be remembered for all of her hard work for our students.. and God bless her family and comfort them getting through this. She will be missed!

2021 Cavalier basketball ends with 4-0 JV and 4-0 varsity. Wow. Talk about a bunch of boys that have bought in, play their guts out, and could care less who gets the credit. This coach is very blessed and having a blast!

A strange positive experience today at practice... first time all year our kids are dragging. Why? Because of their extreme effort the last 2 nights in back to back games on the road. Super proud of the effort and teamwork of our first 3 games!

T minus 16 hours and 39 min to basketball tryouts, not that any coach or player is laying there staring at the ceiling wishing they could sleep, counting time down

Prayer for the day: Lord let me stay positive through all of the negativity... let me be a positive influence on those around me... and let kids see that, rally around that, and enjoy today more than any day... be a better coach today!!!

@WVSportsNews1
Parents only at games until cases go down. Easy solution. Clear the gym after JV if you want. You are talking 20-25 kids and 40-60 parents max. Keep the 2 parent sections separated. Come on man. Basketball isn't what is spreading covid. Other states already in games
#letthemplay
Even better than seeing how well our kids played tonight in a big win over a very solid Sherman team... seeing how much enthusiasm and fun they had while doing it... one proud coaching staff!
