Starmount Head Football Job (Updated: Josh Pardue hired)
- Thread starter Deana_King
- Start date
Looks like it will be a quick process so the Rams have the new guy in place for spring practice.
After 1 season, geez. I guess he is going to Crest...otherwise that is really leaving a program and athletes high and dry.
He cited a family issue and I think it regarded the health of his in laws. Sometimes you have to do what you have to do and that might mean leaving someone scrambling.
Spoke with someone that knows the situation and you cant blame him for leaving to go back home to be near family that needs help. I wish him and his family the best.

Good luck Rams on your search. Storied program and a whole lotta tradition, tons of talent in place and in the pipeline. Should have plenty of interest here. The next coach steps into a VERY good situation.
Coach Lloyd is a good man, good Coach, and I hate to see him go for football in our area. 3 of the four top programs in the area all open within weeks of each other is crazy. Mount Airy got their guy, now Starmount and West Stokes are on the hunt. I would venture to say both programs will have healthy applicant pools. Good luck to the Rams and Wildcats!
And Russell agreed to play Starmount knowing it would be good games even though WF was 4A and Starmount was 1A. My son was on that 2003 WF team.
Interviews this week and a new coach will be named on April 9 with approval from school board.
Awesome. Good luck to you guys. Even though he was only there a year I'm sure Greg did a good job.
He did! We won 10 games and that hasn’t happened since 2014 and there was a lot of excitement in the community.
I hope it will continue under the new coach. Starmount has a lot of positive things going on with the facilities upgrades.

Any word on his family situation? I hope everyone is fine and in improving health. Plus they will be much closer to Crest High School which I am sure had no part in this whole situation.
Regardless, the Coach really did do a very good job and Starmount should be heading in a very good direction.

Great hire - former player and was a part of the 1998 State Championship team, IIRC. Also comes from a great family.
Wonder if he talks his younger brother (Caleb) into coming back over from MA to run the defense? I would bet there is about a 100% chance that happens.

Good fellow. Met him his last year at Walkertown when they joined the old WPAC. He was a very classy guy and we all felt sorry for him, he had such a rough situation that year. He left and went to better things, very happy for him. He's going to have solid talent and will have a fun few years ahead. Elkin's loss is Starmount's gain.
9/20 looks like a Good Friday for me to come up and see Starmount play. Be interested to see a game up that way and being in a different environment.

That would perfect for me. Plus playing against Mt Airy
Starmount vs MA and East Wilkes at home might be the 2 match ups of interest in Conference. ? Is what will Forbush and Elkin have for Starmount 2024?
Looks like your conference is another one to play 7pm games. Looks like a growing trend.
Yeah probably wouldn't come the next week. He's a good coach but for some reason people are thinking Mount Airy is going to take a step down. I don't really see it. Things don't just happen overnight.
You can not wait that long to come to Mt Airy, meet our group of guys and share in our tailgating.
I
I will definitely look in on my schedule to see about coming up to Mt Airy and joining in you guys.
