A fellow PCHS grad, Steve Marcus, was the original webmaster for the original site. He and his family have always been huge Cougar fans. Back when Coach Hicks was still around, the idea of a team website was brought up. Steve and a few other guys got busy and put together what was, without question, one of the top high school football sites around. Ken Blevins, Pete Jackson and a few others pitched in to help with stats, scores and stories. Steve did pictures and the web work. Eventually Ken started doing some of the web stuff as well. After I got out of the Army and got hurt, I got back into photography and one thing led to another. The Southwest Times started using some of my pics from basketball games, then when spring rolled around they asked me if I could do some of those as well. Football was naturally next for me. I continued to get more and more involved as time went on until I'm where I am today. I do it all for the hotdogs, no question about it. I still curse Christiansburg for changing their chili recipe after Coach Cromer stepped down. I still think Alleghany had the best concession stand ever. While we do it a lot differently now, a few of us still eat together before the games. I still hate Scott Shaffer. I still refer to Salem as Sodom from time to time. The new site is slowly taking shape. It will be a long-term process as coaches slowly get me info, but it'll be worth it.
