I, Stanley Gould, TVHS alumni, Class 1971, would like to recommend that the baseball field at Tygarts Valley High School be named "Coach Floyd L. Thomas III Memorial Field."
Coach Thomas started his coaching career in 1973 as head football and baseball coach at Tygarts Valley High School.
While at TVHS, his baseball record was 150-53.
Coach Thomas and the baseball teams accumulated five sectional titles, two regional titles and two undefeated state championships. He was honored as West Virginia Baseball Coach of the Year in 1979.
Coach Thomas credited his coaching success to the outstanding student athletes "who were just a good group of kids."
He also earned PVAC Coach of the Year in 1985, when the Bulldogs went to the state playoffs.
His football coaching record at TVHS was 77-54.
