Lonnie Blow comes aboard

ODU has filled its assistant coaching vacancy with someone who won't need a GPS to find his way around the area: veteran coach Lonnie Blow, whose ties to the 757 run deep.

Blow coached under Jack Baker for 11 years at Maury, led Granby to a state title a decade ago, and served as an assistant at Norfolk State and Hampton. Most recently, he led Division II St. Augustine's to a 27-5 record in his second year in Raleigh. The Falcons also compiled the highest GPA in the CIAA.

Here's a link to the story. Read more in Friday's Pilot.

Meanwhile, Monarch fans, feel free to weigh in on Blaine Taylor's choice.
