by RODERICK MULLINS
BIG STONE GAP, Va. — Wise County Public Schools and Union High School announced that Jamie Harless has been named Union’s new head football coach, as former coach and now-fugitive Travis Turner remains missing four months after his disappearance.
According to the announcement Tuesday, Harless had a 14-season tenure at Lord Botetourt High School, where he “transformed the program into a perennial state power.”
While at Lord Botetourt, Harless had 134 career victories and led the Cavaliers to four regional titles and three state runner-up finishes. His more than 100 wins solidified him as the first coach in Lord Botetourt history to reach that milestone.
“Coach Harless is a proven winner who understands the culture of Southwest Virginia football,” school officials noted in the announcement, referencing his roots as an Abingdon High School standout and Emory & Henry College Hall of Famer.
“His commitment to building tough, disciplined teams and his track record of helping players reach the collegiate level make him the ideal leader for the Bears.”
