Nominations for Favorite CVA Athletes

Posted by cvaalumni on November 12, 2008

Who’s your favorite CVA athlete?  Can you remember back that far?  If you can, please add your thoughts in a comment to this post.

WordPress has enabled polling on blogs now, so when I have a few nominations, I will try it out.  Please be sure to include their sport and the year they graduated from CVA.

You can, obviously, make male and female nominations.

Some that come to mind: Mike Wheeler and Steve Willingham from the 1970s, Brett Strickland and Tad Niblett from the 1980s, Brandon Nix and Zac Taylor from the 2000s.

What do you think?

Tad Niblett Update

Posted by cvaalumni on November 12, 2008

I saw this bit in The Birmingham News this morning:

Hoover High School offensive coordinator Tad Niblett, the brother of Hoover head coach Josh Niblett, collapsed during a morning football practice at the school Tuesday and was carried away by ambulance.

Hoover City Schools spokesman Jason Gaston said Niblett was “doing fine and in the process of recovering” at a local hospital. “All of the tests have checked out well so far,” Gaston added.

Both Josh Niblett and his father John, who coached high school football for 39 years, attended Hoover’s evening practice. Tad Niblett came to Hoover with his brother during the offseason after serving as quarterback coach under him at Oxford.

Please say a prayer for Tad today.
