April  27th --The Rockingham County Board of Education confirmed Jimmy Teague last night as the new Head Football Coach at Reidsville High School. Teague will also take a position with the school's Fellowship of Christian Athletes.  Teague spent the last two years as Head Coach here at G.W.   More details on the way.

April  27th -- David Wilson was selected last night in the first round of the NFL Draft.  He was the 32nd pick overall and will play this fall for the defending Super Bowl Champion New York Giants!  Danville could not be prouder of our native son.   What a please its been to watch David develop from a skinny sophomore at Christopher Stadium, into a first-round pro.  CONGRATS DAVID!!

April 3rd -- Is this something you would like to see at J.T. Christopher Stadium? How much would it be worth to you to have our proud old stadium sporting a new state-of-the-art field turf? It would also have markings for use for soccer, lacrosse, and field hockey. How about an eight-lane track that will allow G.W. to host a track meet for the first time in over a decade?

You'll soon have a chance. A steering committee was formed this week to get the ball rolling on a three-million dollar fund-raising project to have this in place before the Eagles open their 2013 football season as a member of the Piedmont District.

The School system has set up a 501c(3) to accept fully tax-deductible donations to make this happen. There may also be opportunities for business sponsorship. A fund-raising committee is coming up with those ideas.

We'll have more information as it becomes available, but PLEASE keep this on your radar screen and we'll make it happen!!
