I remember Beaver Creek. Where were they located?

Just outside of West Jefferson. My father-in-law graduated from there in the late fifties.

By the way, our former head football coach and a dear friend of mine, David Diamont, was our coach for the 1994 season. He said Roy Carter was the coach for Northwest Ashe. Diamont also stated when he coached at East Surry they played Beaver Creek in 1983 and Jimmy Upchurch, head coach at West Stokes, played for East Surry. He said there were some "confrontations" with Beaver Creek in 1983 and 84'. Thanks for the information, Coach Diamont. (We go back a long way. Played for you first in 1970-71 on the MAHS JV basketball team.)
