Richlands taps longtime assistant as head coach after Ridgeview game
Richlands High School in Richlands Virginia named Jeff Tarter interim head coach for the Ridgeview game last spring and then permanent head coach as principal Rick Vencll urged a smooth transition. Tarter, a 37 year veteran, had planned to retire but changed course after his son Bo Tarter secured a Virginia-Wise walk on offer and ROTC scholarship. The move follows Thad Wells’s brief tenure and comes amid ongoing changes from the COVID disrupted prep season.
