Correct

Bob Bond Coeburn VT fb line
Israel Hamilton Coeburn VT fb long snapper
Gene Rowland Coeburn The Citadel fb qb
Dan Bryant Coeburn UK fb rb
Terry Turner Coeburn UT bb
John Hall Coeburn Marshal fb qb

I was thinking that one of the Mooney's from Coeburn in the 80's ran track at VT but can't confirm right now. Also thinking David Mitchell played bb for UT but not certain.

GC

Phil Rogers-Va Tech
Jonas Houseright-Va Tech
Jake Houseright-Va Tech
Josh Shoemaker-Wake Forest (bball)
Chad Beasley-Va Tech
Benny Wolfe-Va Tech

Not all played in the lpd but just a few names I can think of off the top of my head.

Gotch, Steve Fleming from Clintwood went to WF. That's probably who you were thinking of.

TheBeast, Frank Mooney from Coeburn ran track for JMU.

Roy Lee Dykes from PV in the 70's was a world class high jumper and a possible Olympic hopeful until he got into some legal trouble.

My TE in high school who went on to another school before graduating played at WVU, don't think he ever got on the field but he was on the team..... Jack Kennedy.
