Sports Buffet Classic: HS Baseball: Amherst at Heritage May 9 2008

Mike Padgett was the head coach of the Amherst Lancers, Paul Johnson was the head coach of the Heritage Pioneers. They were both very kind to me throughout the years and were very gracious with their time. Chris Ellis and Jon Dansby were two players off of Heritage who shared their thoughts as well.

Sports Buffet Classic: 2003-2004 Region 3 Softball Final Rustburg-Jefferson Forest

It was a rare Sunday game. Heritage High School was the site for the Jefferson Forest Cavaliers taking on the Rustburg Red Devils. After the game I was able to talk to Krystal (Ellis) Harris, Michelle Riddle and Wendy Almond from Rustburg. Jefferson Forest Head Man, Gary Harris shared his thoughts as well,. 

The Sports Buffet Classic: Mickey Crouch Reviews Morhead (NC) at William Campbell

It's a flashback episode on The Sports Buffet. In 2006, Morhead (NC) travelled up to Naruna, to take on William Campbell. Mickey Crouch was coaching Morhead. I only had the pleasure of talking to Coach Crouch, I think four times. For me it was a treat. Coach Crouch passed away a little over two years ago. To say he was everyone's cup of tea, probably wouldn't be 100 percent truthful. But, I found Coach Crouch engaging and humorous (and most importantly truthful and straight forward). He recapped this trip up to Virginia on The Sports Buffet Podcast.

Sports Buffet Classic: Brad Bradley Reviews Morhead at William Campbell

Back in 2006, Morehead (NC) made the trip up to Naruna, to take on William Campbell. At the time, Brad Bradley was the head football coach at William Campbell. So many similarities in what Coach Bradley was then and what he is now. Coaches lose games and players win games. After a loss, it was the next game up (and it still is) for Coach Bradley. Hear this interview on The Sports Buffet Podcast, as we go back in the vault.

Sports Buffet Classic: Doug Day Reviews Blacksburg-Gretna Boys BB 05-06

Doug Day is one of the better guys you'll find around. Back in 2005-2006, I spoke with the head boys basketball coach at Blacksburg, after they defeated Gretna. The game was at Franklin County High School as part of the Member One Classic. Here's a classic flashback with Doug Day.

Tom Brown Talks Lakers History (And Danny Hurley)

When I get together with former Lynchburg area basketball coach, Tom Brown, we can talk and talk and talk. "Laker" Tom (as he was known when he first interacted) can always go down memory lane with historical takes (on his favorite teams especially) and he gave some thoughts on the Lakers history, and does Danny Hurley want to become involved in that history? 

Sports Talk with Girl Dads 6-8-24

Cam Shepherd (Brookville Boys Basketball Coach) and I spent some time on Saturday, June 8th talking about Danny Hurley. As of recording, he still had not made a decision if he was going to leave U Conn and become the Lakers Head Coach. We talked about that, and we also dipped our feet in the water, of high school coaches, coaching where they played. All that on "Sports Talk with Girl Dads"

Matt Klein Talks LCA Boys Basketball 5-18-24

Matt Klein is the new head coach at Liberty Christian Academy. Paul Redgate, the former boys coach, shifts to coach the girls upon Heather Stephens stepping down as head girls coach. Matt Klein talked about coming to LCA from New Covenant, what he expects out of the Seminole District and more.

Mark Lineburg Talks Brookville Football

A week ago Friday, I had a chance to catch up with the new face of the Bees (who's on a return), Mark Lineburg. Coach was very gracious with his time and talked about leaders that he respects. We talked about the history of Radford Football (his father is the legendary, Norm Lineburg). We also touched on his previous time at Brookville and what he wants to see this time.
