William Byrd’s Rebuilding Project Nets Another Title

  THE TERRIERS WERE CELEBRATING AGAIN LAST FRIDAY NIGHT AFTER THEY WRAPPED UP BACK TO BACK BLUE RIDGE DISTRICT TITLES. THE WIN OVER NORTHSIDE COUPLED WITH A LORD BOTETOURT WIN, EARNED THEM THE TITLE.
  FOR ALL THE EMOTION COACH JEFF HIGHFILL WANTS TO GET HIS TEAM BACK ON THE GROUND ASAP. HE WAS QUICK TO TELL THEM THAT THEY CAN CELEBRATE AFTER THE SEASON, BUT RIGHT NOW..THEY’VE GOT A SCHEDULE TO FINISH WITH ALLEGHANY THIS WEEK
THEY GRADUATED THE MOST TALENTED..MOST ACCOMPLISHED SENIOR CLASS IN SCHOOL HISTORY—
  SO IT’S UNDERSTANDABLE WHY DEFENDING BLUE RIDGE CHAMP WILLIAM BYRD WAS FLYING UNDER THE RADAR…
  SO WHAT’S BEEN ACCOMPLISHED THIS YEAR..BY A VETERAN COACHING STAFF…SHOULD BE THE STUFF OF LEGEND. THE TERRIERS GRADUATED 19 SENIORS, AND ONLY RETURNED A HANDFUL OF STARTERS FROM THE TEAM THAT WON THE SCHOOL’S FIRST DISTRICT TITLE SINCE 1973, AND FIRST PLAYOFF GAME IN SCHOOL HISTORY. COACH ADMITTED THERE WERE LOTS OF QUESTIONS COMING INTO THE YEAR, BUT LUCKILY HIS EXPERIENCED COACHING STAFF WAS ABLE TO COME UP WITH SOME ANSWERS.
  THE TERRIERS at 6-3 AND DISTRICT CHAMPS..THEY ARE ONCE AGAIN ON THE POSTSEASON RADAR-
  AND WITH ONE GAME TO GO—-COACH HIGHFILL SAYS IT’S NO TIME TO REST ON THEIR LAURELS. HE SAYS THEY NEED TO PLAY LIKE THEY ARE PLAYING FOR THE DISTRICT TITLE THIS FRIDAY, EVEN THOUGH THE TITLE IS ALREADY THEIRS.  IF THEY DO THAT, THEY’LL BE ALRIGHT.
