Honaker's Heath Miller inducted into State HOF & other 1A stars

[uvacavs1]

Honaker's Heath Miller (standout for 1A Honaker, UVA, and the NFL's famed Pittsburgh Steelers) was just inducted into the prestigious state of Virginia Sports Hall of Fame.

Miller owns every tight end record at UVA history, was a big part of two Super Bowl wins as one of the best tight ends in NFL history. I always enjoyed watching him play the game.

Watched Miller play for the State Championship in 2000 at Liberty . A man on the field with a bunch of boys . He stood out like a light bulb !

Those boys from KW got the ring that day though. Lol.

Miller needed a little help . He looked twice the size of his team mates .

He definitely stood out because of his height. I knew he was good, but I'll admit that I didnt see him having the career that he did. But as a Steelers fan, I'm glad he did. He was a perfect fit for the city and team.

I remember staying and watching Riverheads beat Bath, 26-12, after the KW game was over. That was my first time ever seeing Riverheads in person and I left impressed then, and 18 years later, I still have respect for the program and the system that they run.

Greenville keeps turning quality football players and the coaches do fair job with them . Good players make those guys look good !

 

[kwhs95fan]

Quality players indeed, but great coaching and system as well.

They only have five Championships , they should have ten . Coaches ?

funny, sounds like some Riverheads fans have gotten so used to winning, they have forgotten the hands that feed them.
