Now as a first-year head coach at Cedar Bluff, Murphy’s mission is to reinvigorate the Tigers’ toughness. For a return to the way things used to be at Cedar Bluff, Murphy said it all starts by being physical. “For the most part, the older guys still remember the Cedar Bluff athlete: always competitive, physical, stuff like that. They want to get Cedar Bluff back to that. Following an open week Sept. 11, Cedar Bluff hosts Valley Head and Class 2A Ider on Sept. 18 and 25 respectively.
