As a resident of Salem VA and a father of a Marching Band member I on occasion attend the HIgh School games. Tonight was homecoming and Blacksburg came rolling into town for some Friday night lights. And our (VT) Coleman Fox did not disappoint. He has a great first step and an extra gear once in the secondary. He runs downhill and seems to love contact. Not one run that I witnessed did not involve yards after contact. He played lights out defense as well. He hits with ferocity and squares up and tackles through ball carriers. Hell, the kid even holds as well as AJ on extra points. I wish I could give you his stats on the game but I was accompanied by my wife, my oldest daughter, along with my two year old son. Those three coupled with the glares I received for "not paying attention to the band" (whatever that means) made it difficult to absorb stats. At the half he had 2 TD's and roughly 3 solos and was in on every stop. I will say that it filled my with glee to watch our future out on that field playing at such a high level without the benefit of our collegiate staff. Keep an eye on this guy folks. He's a Sam Rogers - Cody Grimm hybrid! I will have some numbers for you next Friday for the Hidden Valley matchup ad I will be sans kiddos.
Coleman Fox is a good get.

Outstanding!
Thanks for the firsthand report. Sounds like Coleman is going to be a great Hokie.
Second TD was a 65 yard scamper by the way.

Apparently Mike Vick plays for Salem High school. We should get that guy.
As I've appeared on Fox's highlight video, I feel that gives me the authority to say yes, I completely agree. He's just a football player.
Also, this is hilarious because of just how true it is for band parents:
Always good to hear 1st hand reports. Thanks for taking time!
Salem takes its football seriously. They are recruiting players and their parents to move into the district.
