2009 VA Tech Football: More Than 20% of Roster From Hampton Roads

I was just skimming over Virginia Tech's 2009 football roster and noticed some pretty cool stuff--including that this year's roster has 22 players from Tidewater, representing the Peninsula, Beach, Eastern, Southeastern, and Bay Rivers Districts, along with the Tidewater Conference of Independent Schools (TCIS).

Here's the breakdown of the players from each city.

Virginia Beach: 9 players
Hampton: 5 players
Norfolk: 4
Chesapeake: 2
Smithfield: 1
Newport News: 1

These are pretty sweet numbers. Thanks in large part to Jim Cavanaugh, head recruiter.
