Former Bath County standout Jacob Phillips was hired to be the next head coach at James River. Congrats and best of luck to him! Link attached from the Roanoke Times.

I remember watching him play on those Bath Co. teams. I honestly thought he was a better high school player than his brother, as he was one heck of a QB. Crazy to think that a small school like Bath Co was able to produce at least 3 D1 players in a handful of years (The Phillips boys, and Tommy Shafer are the ones I recall, there may have been another).

If his coaching is anywhere close to as good as his play was, JR is getting a gem. Best of luck.
