We are just a few days away from a Celebration that will honor 🎖 one of the Living Legands of Carroll County – Mr. Frank Beamer.
Mr.Beamer was making a name for himself before there was a CCHS (built in 1969) . Prior to then the High School for the County was Hillsville High School.
Credit to the Carroll News for the story on the right at the top of this post. The fact that Blacksburg High School will be the visiting team on Monday night simply cannot be an accident. Beamer always remained known as Fancy Gap Frank to many as his legendary Coaching career developed just up I-81 in Blacksburg.
Virginia Tech football became a nationwide brand under the guidance of Beamer and peaked when the Hokies played for the National Championship.
Reaching the level of success that Coach did is something to Celebrate but the fact that he never forgot where he came from is something you treasure !
Beamer has traded roaming the sidelines and whopping the ACC for now being a Proud Papa on Saturday afternoons as his son Shane is carrying on in the Family Business down in Columbia, South Carolina as the Head Coach of the Gamecocks.
It will be an exciting night for all of Carroll County High School fans on Monday or maybe we can truly turn back the clock ⏰ and play as Hillsville High for a night.
