Don’t know if this had anything to do with it or not but if I remember correctly, half of the SG coaches were former Valle coaches. The HC and OC were really good! SG has been ok since they retired but not at the same level.
My old memory isn't so good from back in the 80's but I do recall some former V coaches moving up on the hill. Currently Jay Pope is at SG.....former Valle player and coach. They are playing for the Class 3 district championship this weekend. Lots of confidence for Jay to succeed.
By the way StV is playing for their class 1 district championship, PHS is playing for their class 4 district championship.
V is playing for their class 2 district championship and SG is playing for their class 3 district championship. Hotbed of
talent in SEMO this year!
And before Veer can say it, there are a lot of Valle names on all those teams! lol
