[Scotty_Bronson]

Mike Salmons and Scott Grizzle come to mind. They have several common threads. Mike played for and coached under Randy Vanderhoof, as did Scott. Scott also played for and Coached under Mike before taking the HC job at Greenup. When comparing wins and losses, Raceland has dominated the series and Mike really seems to have Scott's number. THAT BEING SAID, Mike inherited a program, that he had been apart of for a good while as a coach and played within that program his entire football life until going on the be a stand out DL at Thomas Moore, that same program was on an upswing, but he continued to build on that momentum, taking them to their first semi final victory and state finals appearance. Grizzle, on the other hand, came in to take over a program that was really struggling, one that had no true identity and was quickly losing interest and had little to no enthusiasm around the program. Top it off it was the county rival. Scott breathed new life into GC football and while they havent managed to take that "next step" they continue to grow. Really love seeing these two succeed. Two different paths, but both very successful with their respected programs.
