River Valley Coach Resigns -- for real?

[Raiderball]

Is this an accurate list of former RV coaches?

Jack James
Merril Tripplett
Larry Carter
Greg Deel
Jared McClelland

Yes

[Warpig]

Wasn't certain if there was anyone between James and Tripplett.

[RVRaiderFan]

I was in school when James and Tripplett were there. I truly believe that Tripplett had things going in the right direction. His leaving started the down fall in my opinion.

[Orange and Brown]

I hope that RV finds a great coach and that coach gets the full support of the school and community. They have a couple years to get the ship righted before they come to the TVC.

Not a knock on Merle at all but, I believe he knew when to leave.

I know a couple of guys that would be great choices that are somewhat local but they probably won't apply.

Turning attention back to the future for the Raiders. I have to agree with Sandman that a culture change would be needed. Have any names come to the surface yet in the quest for a new football coach for River Valley?

[The General]

I know a coach who could get this outfit moving in the right direction and do it fairly quickly. Maybe someone should call him and ask about his interest. He probably would not be interested but thats just probably.

i heard a young guy named johnson got the job.

havent seen or heard of interviews yet. shocking they have acted this quickly.
who is this johnson guy? where is he from? experience?

[91blue14]

i think his name is ty johnson!

Ty Johnson played at RV in the late 90s under Merril T and Larry Carter.

I believe he graduated with my younger brother Thomas.

I think he has been involved with the Lucasville-Valley and South Gallia programs since graduating.

[RVRaiderFan]

If it is Ty, nice to see an alum take the job. I graduated in 97, and I believe Ty was a year or 2 behind me...so he would be 98 or 99. If this is true, congrats to Ty!! Hopefully an alum can turn this program in the right direction.

Welcome to River Valley, the grave yard of football coaches.

[sandman]

If he is truly the coach, at least they are giving him some time to get ready. This is unusual for the GCLS. He will need to get started ASAP. Perhaps his first order of business should be to cruise the halls a bit and get some people out.

Don't forget the students at Buckeye Hills. Sometimes some of the toughest customers go there. It is the standard operating procedure to overlook them but it is a largely untapped resource for RV.

[BlizzardMan]

This is not true. Noone has been hired.

[BBallin fool]

Thats not true!!!the grave yard.

[Amarranavajas]

Thats not true!!!the grave yard.

Really? What coach since Triplett has gone on to coach anywhere else as a head coach?

[Raiderball]

Ty Johnson... that's interesting. Hadn't thought of him.

[Raiderball]

but wouldn't those students at Buckeye Hills been playing before going there?
