“Technically,“ Atlee football coach Roscoe Johnson said, “we’re supposed to be better next year.“ The Raiders might be ahead of schedule. Atlee, which takes on Patrick Henry this week, is 2-0 for the first time in the school’s 19-year football history. Only four seniors start on each side of the ball, and Johnson said he has some talented players waiting on the JV team.

high school football GOOCHLAND—Using a pair of crutches to steady himself, Desmond Athey watched and waited. Next year, he kept telling himself as he peered down at the cast protecting his right leg, I’ll be ready. I love playing football. It’s what I live for. I can’t wait. Well, next year finally came for the 5-9, 216-pound senior, who fractured his tibia and fibula in the fourth game of the 2008 season against George Mason.

Boston University gave John Kuester his first head-coaching job, and he went went 16-13 in his first year.

Detroit Pistons coach John Kuester said he encountered “very special” people while attending Benedictine. Somewhere, John Kuester believes, Warren Rutledge is smiling. Kuester, named the Detroit Pistons’ coach yesterday, played for Rutledge at Benedictine High School during the early 1970s. Kuester said his journey to an NBA head-coaching job was greatly aided by several lessons he learned from Rutledge, who coached the Cadets for 43 seasons and died in 2000.

The Detroit Pistons officially named Richmond native John Kuester their coach today. The former Benedictine High School and North Carolina star will be Detroit’s sixth head coach in 10 years.

John Kuester, who could be introduced as the Detroit Pistons’ new head coach as early as today, earned acclaim first as a guard at Benedictine, then at North Carolina, where he helped lead the Tar Heels to two ACC titles.
