I wanted to say, “THANK YOU,” to all the coaches, athletic directors, and principals of all the high schools for their help during the school year. Football season is upcoming and some local schools are in need of a head football coach. Fort Chiswell and Auburn both need to replace their head coaches with very little time to prepare for the upcoming season. Radford and Grayson Co. both will have new coaches, Michael Crist at Radford and a familiar name Stephen James at Grayson Co. Once again I appreciate all the help from the schools and last but not least, I say, THANK YOU to all the people that look and check out this website. Some of you all know I had health issues in mid-December and some more in late February, early March. Looking forward to football and tell your sports friends and neighbors to check out this sports website, RodneySportsNow.com
