In the NJAC, the award is coaching staff of the year. And I have been fortunate to have kept the same group of coaches for two years, whose sole focus is growing and developing young men both on and off the field.

I am in a unique position, and I think it is important for me to state this. I have spent the last six months recruiting all over the state of VA. And there is a lot of negative press/perception towards high school football coaches in general. However,.

Couldn’t have said it better. I want to see local kids PLAYING! Not being recruited to be on scout teams. Ask the high school coaches about our track record.
