Reamon Leaves Gloucester

After 23 years of coaching, Tommy Reamon felt it was time to take a break. He decided to resign as head coach at Gloucester High School. What he left behind was an impressive resume of coaching some famous quarterbacks.

What do Aaron Brooks, Michael and Marcus Vick have in common? They were all taught early in their careers the position of quarterback by Reamon. The 54 year old coached Brooks at now-defunct Ferguson High. Brooks would go on to play college ball at Virginia and later with several teams in the NFL. At Warwick High, Reamon did the same with both Vicks. Each would go on to Virginia Tech. Michael would later be the number one overall pick in the NFL Draft by the Atlanta Falcons, while Marcus got as far as playing briefly with the Miami Dolphins as a wide receiver. Most recently Reamon took over as the head coach at Gloucester where he would coach his son, Tommy, Jr. who will play for Old Dominion beginning in 2009. "I've enjoyed it", he says.
