The increasing number of former Byrd middle school/varsity soccer players has evolved into a promising number of new coaches. The newest ones have cropped up in the past year; the school record holder for points, Brad, served as Byrd varsity soccer assistant for several years and was recently hired as Cave Spring's head varsity soccer coach. Brad teaches at Byrd middle, where he starred as a seventh grader under this coach and and transferred to junior varsity as an eighth grader and then started varsity soccer as a ninth grader.

Brad started, starred, and help Carson-Newman College compete in D-II than transferred to Tech as they played championship soccer in D-III...!!

What is so unique and interesting is Brad's hiring of former Byrd players as assistants (starting as seventh graders under this coach)...names like Chris (brother), Chris (a more recent player for me), and Zac, who also did well as winger!

Cameron, a former middle school/varsity player who graduated from Randolph College is now serving as Byrd assistant soccer coach (or as middle school coach....my memory faltering ?)
