Our Coach


Following Tre’s fumble when he came off of the field and headed to the bench, I looked for Coach. I watched him head over to Tre. He knelt down in front of Tre and spent what appeared to me to be like ten minutes. I wondered what he was saying? Was he berating the kid? Was he consoling?

Furman then drove down the field and took a 7 – 3 lead. They caught fire. Took a 14 – 3 lead into the half. I kept thinking back to Tre’s fumble. Were our kid’s imploding upon Coach’s interaction with Tre?

After the game we always head back to our tailgate buggy and listen to the post game radio program. I learned that when Coach was kneeling in front of this young man he was being conciliatory. He was sharing concern, providing encouragement and telling Tre that he too made turnovers back when he played quarterback. He had Tre Turner’s back! He cared more about this young man than just winning or losing a football game.

I am a believer in Coach Justin Fuente.

We are a very young team. He stepped in to fill some big shoes.

I tell myself that I need to remain supportive and to show patience.

GO HOKIES!
