Hasn't he been there just one year?If Blacksburg is smart, they go after Brandon Johnson at Bassett. His offense led Magna Vista to 2 state championships.
Yessir. Bassett is his home school and he made strides in a very bad situation there. His MV offenses scored 40+ a game.Hasn't he been there just one year?
Sorry guys, but Brandon Johnson did not call offensive plays nor defensive plays for the Warriors , he was the LPMS head coach and assistant defensive backfield coach on varsity on Fiday nights. He is a young head coach and will be very good but needs seasoning.If Blacksburg is smart, they go after Brandon Johnson at Bassett. His offense led Magna Vista to 2 state championships.
Thanks for the correction. Do you see Bassett getting back to being competitive with GW and Magna Vista and making noise in the playoffs anytime soon?Sorry guys, but Brandon Johnson did not call offensive plays nor defensive plays for the Warriors , he was the LPMS head coach and assistant defensive backfield coach on varsity on Fiday nights.

If Brandon can get his numbers up, come up with some good linemen and compete with the band , maybe. It's a tough situation for a young coach and will take time and a cultural change , it seems the Bengals expect to lose and it's become a habit. As a old coach I don't think they need to stress winning as much as maybe learning again how not to lose, refusing to lose brings that killer attitude and then the wins will come.Thanks for the correction.

Bassett, since they consolidated with F-C, has always had big boys and good team speed. Seems like after Boo Woods and those guys left, Bassett is in the same tier with Patrick County, Tunstall (my alma mater), and Martinsville. Bassett did beat MV back in 2012 and are improving as is Tunstall and Martinsville. Bassett would have a lot better shot to make the playoffs and win on the 3a level. You’re absolutely right, they have bigger boys in their band than they do on their offensive and defensive lines. I believe Johnson will turn the program around, but like you said, it’ll take time.If Brandon can get his numbers up, come up with some good linemen and compete with the band , maybe.

If Johnson can install a culture of discipline, he will be successful. The common theme I've seen from Bassett prior to last year was an undisciplined team FULL of athletes.If Brandon can get his numbers up, come up with some good linemen and compete with the band , maybe.

Bingo. Been like that for a while.If Johnson can install a culture of discipline, he will be successful. The common theme I've seen from Bassett prior to last year was an undisciplined team FULL of athletes.
Sadly, that can be said about too many teams.Bingo. Been like that for a while.
You can say that again!!! Seen some really talented teams get their butt kicked by a team way less talented because they had zero discipline!Sadly, that can be said about too many teams.
Dominance?First off, I hope Blacksburg finds a good coach that will continue the winning tradition that has been built by the Bruins. Have really enjoyed watching their dominance the past 2 years at 3A & 4A...that is impressive! I do not care who you are!
