Isn't it incredible what a coach can do to a program? I mean an elite level coach. Unfortunately, another Wheeler has returned to the Bay Rivers and for some folks in central or Swva who may not know, this is the son of Paul Wheeler who won titles at Lafayette and Rustburg. Warhill has themselves a non-normal, not your average coach. They have a guy who like his father, can simply outsmart the guy across the sidelines from him, and he can take yours and beat his, and he can take his and beat yours. Look for Warhill to regularly enter the 4A field as a regular late playoff team for years to come. Watch and see. Give him 1-2 more years and watch what happens. They may be a threat to beat Lafayette and Poquoson this very year. I don't think they beats the Rams this year, but Poquoson and Warhill will be a toss up game. As long as Wheeler is there, look for Warhill and Lafayette to become a true-bigtime rivalry.
I liked his father, but I admit, I was hoping he wouldn't be as good. The thrashing they put on Heritage wasn't supposed to happen this past weekend. It's already started for Thad. The culture is already rapidly shifting.
