VT Stops By FUMA

Fork Union Military Academy’s (VA) postgraduate football squad has reeled off six straight wins and now looks forward to its season finale this Friday, when the team takes on rival Hargrave Military Academy. Virginia Tech will be one of the schools represented at Hargrave this Friday night, evaluating prospects from both squads.

Head coach Frank Beamer and offensive coordinator Bryan Stinespring stopped by FUMA last Thursday and “watched a workout,” Fork Union postgraduate head coach John Shuman said. “Basically, they said that what they want to do is watch them. They didn’t see much last Thursday. That was basically a walk-thru for our Friday game. They didn’t see much then, but they are going to eye four guys.”

Coach Shuman recommended four players to the Tech staff last week, including 6-3, 218-pound wide receiver Ricarlo Bell (formerly of Jeb Stuart H.S. in Falls Church, VA), 6-4, 215-pound defensive end/linebacker Sage Harold (Ocean Lakes H.S., Virginia Beach (VA)), 6-2, 215-pound linebacker Justin Hughes (Ocean Lakes H.S., Va Beach)) and 6-3, 240-pound defensive end Travaughn Pascal (Arundel H.S., Odenton (MD)).

Of Bell, Shuman said, “He looks like the receivers Virginia Tech has there now.”
