Congratulations and good luck to Coach Palmer and the Bearcats!

Congrats Coach Palmer!

Doing a little searching on Google, it looks like Mark Palmer is a graduate of Ervinton High School in Viriginia. He came back as head coach at Ervinton from 1990-1997, then St. Paul High School from 2003-2010 and then headed to Patrick Henry. Patrick Henry in Glade Spring (one of three Patrick Henry High Schools in Virginia) was 10-0 last year in the Class 1 division in Virginia and lost in the state semifinals to finish 13-1. Virginia has 6 classes with 1 being the small schools and 6 being largest. Patrick Henry was 49-13 over the last 5 seasons.
