    Recruits and Transfers - you don’t need 57 scholarship offers to be successful. All it takes is one! One opportunity is all that you need and then go make the most of it! #ItStartsAtState

    Can’t wait for our visit this week! Some Big-Time transfers headed to State. But we’re still looking for transfers and 25’s. If you’re interested in being part of a football family that’s built on toughness and leadership reach out to me or our coaching staff! #TakeTheNextStep

    All right WV High School Coaches / Administrators. Its time to move the North-South Game to December. Every other State does their game in December so coaches like me can see them during recruiting. In June, we have used all scholarship money and its too late.
    Great Day here at UVA Wise at the VHSCA All Star game!

    We’re about to have one of the best facilities in D2! I love watching the process and thinking about how much we’ve built over the past 7 years. Thank you to all the players, coaches, and Yellow Jacket Nation for helping us build something special! #ItStartsAtState

    We used to have our guys get Behind the line but that was too easy. Now they have to BE ON THE LINE not behind it or over it & requires just a little more discipline. Love how this video shows our guys winning the little things! Might have taken a few up downs to get right, Lol!
