GRAYSON COUNTY GETS NEW COACH

John Ayers was named boys' basketball coach at Grayson County and will replace Rick Cormany.

Ayers, a three-year starter for Carroll County and a 1990 graduate of Erskine College, is getting his first coaching experience with the Blue Devils. He earned a master's degree in special education from Radford in 1992.

"Experience is a good teacher," said Ayers, 24. "I think what I lack in experience, I'll make up in enthusiasm."

Cormany, who coached Grayson County for five years, left to take a guidance position at Radford High School.

Memo: shorter version ran in the Metro edition.
