Sportsline: Martinsburg’s Walker on national coach of the year award

MARTINSBURG, W.Va. — Martinsburg football coach Dave Walker was a recent guest on the MetroNews Statewide Sportsline on his recent national honor as the football coach of the year by the National Federation of High School Associations.

The Bulldogs won their fifth title in the last seven years this past season.

“I really don’t take a lot of time to reflect on it, but some point  I will,” Walker said. “Maybe I’m in the right place at the right time, I don’t know. It’s kind of surreal at times. I’ve surrounded myself with some really good people and we have some really good coaches and really good players.”

The complete interview is posted above.
