I know of the Jones brothers, Josh Warren, Travis Turner, Todd Hamilton, Johnson kid from Powell Valley (Airforce Acc) Boo Sensibaugh (miss spelled), and Carol Dale. Thats all I can think of off top of my head. Ofcourse this is just football, if you know of kids going in other sports let me know. Sheldon Adams went to VT in baseball is the only non football D1 athelete I can think of.
Justin Hamilton and Yogi Mooney.
Brad Robbins started his college career at Western Carolina, a D1 school.
James Bolling from PV started at fullback for Kentucky.
Todd Meade from PV played at VT
Dean Herman of Kelly was special teams captain on Clemson's national title team.
One of the Davis brothers from Appy (Paul?) started at nose guard at North Carolina on the same defense as LT - also played a little pro ball
Tom Turner at VT
Pound had a lineman in the early-mid 70's who played D1 but I can't recall his name.
Clintwood had a lineman mid 80's, tall kid, played D1, maybe at Wake - surely Lung or Counts or someone can recall.
Mark Bloomer PV - VT (not sure if he saw much PT)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eupton Jackson started at JMU
Todd Bloomer at ETSU
Keith Davis at ETSU
Art Jackson at Norfork St
Adrian Legg at Norfork St
Running back from the 91 Coeburn team at Austin Peay (can't recall name right now)
Doug Mullins from Pound at Richmonmd
There are dozens more, maybe when my mind is working better I will recall some more.
You're probably thinking David Talley. He played at ETSU. I think he might have had some D1 offers, but he went to ETSU to be closer to his family. He blew his knee out his first year there.Quote:

Kevin Mitchell and Mckinney from PV at VMI, I think Huff from Appy was there for a while too.
Didn't one of the Murphy kids play at UK?
Their dad Pat did (PV)
No, not the right name.Quote:

Sorry, used wrong post for quote. But that's not who I'm thinking of.
Don't know then. Counts is 4-5 years older than me. Might be one he remembers.
Yes............Quote:

Kid from Kelly played at UVA (late 90's or later) can't recall name.
Some others for info:
Where did Mark Palmer - Ervinton (LPD at the time) play college ball?
Wasn't Rogers of Gate City LPD when he played? I'm sure he played D1? Where?
How about Daniels of Burton?
I forgot all about Sean Murphy and I graduated with him. Michael Stacy and TJ Hamler played at Tusculum (miss spelled i know) and Brent Ball played at Ferrum for one year and came back home. It amazes me how many kids from here have went on to bigger and better things. I hope that with these consolidations that it puts an even bigger eye on this area and more kids get a shot to go on to school to play the game we love
Where did Shea Chapman play?
Probably thinking of Jon Thompson. He was a linebacker at UVa from 2000-04.Quote:

Gary Hensley from PV in the mid 70's played at UK
I'm pretty sure Jeff Williams has been left out. Played at Coeburn, then returned kicks and WR/RB at Navy. Someone correct me if I'm wrong on that one.
Shea chapman had a scholarship to Georgia Tech but lost it due to grades and went to an African American college in Mississippi for a while but IDK if he finishedQuote:

Tom Turner, Luke Marsingale, & Ron Davis from Appy played at Tech I believe and Gerard Mullins from Pound played at UVA. My mind doesn't work as well as it used to but I believe that these are correct.
Seth Askins (qb from Clintwood mid 90's) walked on at UVA. I think he played TE.
A coaching change after his first year cost him his scholarship, iirc. Both Murphy boys played at UK.Quote:

Guy from Wise played at Clemson, same time as William Perry. Least I think he was from JJK- Dean something.
Pretty sure he went to vmiQuote:

Could have been. I thought it was one of the service academy's or a military shcool.Quote:

Lung..... you're correct about Seth Askins.
As far as Burton goes, here are the one I can remember that haven't already been mentioned.. RichKotite may be able to give more, my mind is blank.
Connor Litton (GT)
Major Griffey (WF)
Recee Gravely (WF)
CorrectQuote:

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.
Sounds right, I think.Quote:
