Doug Toombs ’83, Steve Crute ’93 & Fellow Bluestone High Alumni Analyze Pipeline to Longwood
How did Bluestone High, a rural school of around 500 students in Mecklenburg County Va, send so many All-Americans and NBA and MLB veterans to Longwood College (Va.) (now Longwood University)? Doug Toombs, All-American Baseball player, and Steve Crute, College Division All-State Golfer, share their experiences and insight. From Jerome Kersey to Frankie Watson, Doug and Steve discuss the Bluestone to Longwood pipeline. Quotes from Carmille Barnette ’91, All-American Basketball; Michael Tucker, Longwood All-American Baseball, 12-year MLB veteran; Glenn Bugg ’84, Longwood Golf Team MVP, and Sheri Nunn-States, Longwood ’83 are sprinkled in the interview.
