Lynchburg High School Sports

Welcome to CrunchTIME Radio (WPLY AM/FM), week 3 of high school football season. This week is our first 2-hour show, as we get into some college football in the second hour. We are talking real, live high school football games as the season opened Thursday and Friday across the state. On today’s show we have a first hour and a second hour US Cellular-Crunch Hotline guest is Coach Stephen Alexander, North Cross Head Coach. Coach Alexander talks about last year’s special team and where some of 2020’s stars are now…hint, UVA, Navy….In the second half of the show we have Heritage Coach Brad Bradley on the line. Coach Brad helps us kick off our new, second hour talking about where some of his graduates are now playing on Saturdays. He also talks about this year’s Pioneer club. Also on today’s show you’ll hear some pre recorded conversations with a couple hardworking coaches – Christiansburg’s Alex Wilkens, and Willam Byrd head coach, Brad Lutz. We follow that up with a highlight of a previous interview with our Haley Toyota ‘Legends of the Game’ this week, Coach Dave Crist (retired and a former head man at Blacksburg HS)…. Let’s just say the field’s named after him, ‘nough said. Finally, we finish off the show with our weekly features – Jimmy Whitaker’s ‘Jimmy Thang’ segment, the “5 things you need to know about High School Football this week,” and the Crunch Great 8 Poll.
