Coach Webb was a great coach and his 70's Albemarle teams are legendary!

Thanks for the read. Really enjoyed learning more about him. A true hero and a reason EVERYONE should stand for our National Anthem. Great job by Charles as well. Hopefully I can get a hold of a print edition somehow. I plan on being at Murphy and North Stanly next week so maybe I can head into Albemarle before hand

Absolutely correct and I apologize for the mistype. Coach Webb was a an innovator as well as a pioneer for many other coaches in his era.
