Actually Brian Allen was voted to be the head coach

 

The other 4 are assistant coaches as I took the 5 longest tenured and winningest coaches in history of Columbia to claim the coach slots

So, I assume these players were all-time best at Columbia. But I noticed that no one was listed before the 1940s. And, I believe Columbia has been around before 1940 and probably played football before then. Is there any reason no "golden age" old timers were not on your list? Lack of information, etc.?

1940 was the earliest nomination we received when doing the list, unfortunately nominations were needed because information on the older teams were nearly impossible to come by

Makes sense. The people knowledgeable of those teams have probably all died off by now.

Pretty much 

 

It's a shame but I could only work with so much when those older programs had practically no records available from that time period

The early Columbia teams, known at the time as the Dandies, were renowned for that great sense of fashion.

I played for Columbia High from 87-89.  Gary Atkins and Scott Adams were outstanding linemen who should get some recognition.  Kipp Davis, the FB was a beast!

Everything was nomination based because of not having access to rosters in that era (the downside to doing this for a school not very good at keeping records) 

 

Though what was your thoughts on the list overall? You still keep up with the team?

[89ColumbiaHighTiger]

No, I keep track of their results yearly though.  I joined the Marine Corps out of high school and retired in 2011, settling in Virginia.  I teach and coach at a high school up here.

Hello, and welcome to this message board. I was wondering how you would describe the state of High School Football in the Old Dominion State? How is the officiating, the coaching, the state Association etc? Also, what part of Virginia do you coach and teach? Thank you for your military service.

VA HS football is not what FL HS football is...or at least was.  There is no Spring football, only 7 on 7 flag football.  There is less emphasis on football here.  A lot less community support and involvement than what we had in Lake City in the 90s.  Having said that there are certainly programs here that could compete in FL just not across the board.  Each year there are realistically about 2-4 teams in each classification (6 total) that compete for the state title.  Officiating is awful.  I teach and coached at King George HS about 20 miles east of Fredericksburg.

Thank you, would you be willing to expand on the "officiating is awful" comment?

Who is 89 Columbia high tiger

[89ColumbiaHighTiger]

My name is Jason Ellington, I played center for CHS from 86-88, graduated in 89.

[89ColumbiaHighTiger]

The officiating is really inconsistent.  Some crews want to be a big part of the game (ego) and others won't call anything.  We played in the regional finals this year and the officiating was outstanding.  Then we played in the state semifinals and it was awful.  Just never know what to expect.
