Boys: John Marshall slips past Tucker for crown
John Marshall’s 67-65 victory over J.R. Tucker last night in the championship game of the Colonial District basketball tournament was, first and foremost, about trust. “Tucker played free, loose, and easy,“ said Frank Threatts, the Justices’ veteran coach, “and my guys might have been a little tired. “But I had confidence in my team. They knew what they were doing.“
Ex-Tucker football coach gets 21 months for sex crimes
Former J.R. Tucker High School football coach William Macgregor “Mac” Leighton overcame many obstacles early in life. His father committed suicide when Leighton was just seven months old. He was born without a right hand but went on to become a bruising football player who defied his disability by playing center. His teammates awarded him Randolph-Macon College’s Yellow Jersey, a sign of superiority on the playing field.
