By Robert Anderson Roanoke Times

When Alan Fiddler’s 7-year-old twin daugh- ters found out they were moving to Roanoke, they gave their parents a request: Find a house with a swimming pool. Thursday, Fiddler dived headfirst into Timesland high school football when he was named the head coach at Patrick Henry High School. Until December, Fiddler, 45, was the head coach at NCAA Division II Glenville State (W.Va.) College, where he posted a seven-year record of 45 wins and 32 losses, including a West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Association championship in 2008. The Patrick Henry job is not Fiddler’s first head coaching position at the prep level. He spent 10 seasons at Moorefield (W.Va.) High School, compiling a 98-28 record and winning six Class A West Virginia state championships, including four in a row from 1996-99. Patrick Henry principal Connie Ratcliffe said Fiddler fit the school’s needs. “He had extensive experience in high school so this is not a new thing for him,” Ratcliffe said. “We were pleased with his resume and thought this was a good fit for us.” Fiddler becomes Patrick Henry’s sixth head coach in the last 11 years. He replaces Brad Time to Play Ball Hardy County Style: East Hardy pitcher Korey Foltz threw to Moorefield leadoff batter Mike Pultz at the start of the Hardy County Hardball Bradley, who resigned after two years on the job Classic last Friday in Baker with catcher Eric Heflin waiting behind the plate. Pultz hit a line drive which was caught for an out. to become the head coach and athletic director at Amelia County High School near Richmond. Fiddler and Bradley both played football at Glenville and are acquainted, but the new coach said he did not consult the old coach in seeking the PH position. Hardy County “I haven’t spoke to Brad,” Fiddler said. “Through the whole process, I wanted to get my own outlook of the situation.” Bradley led Patrick Henry to a 6-4 record in 2010, the Patriots’ first winning season in 10 HARDBALL CLASSIC years. Fiddler is not focused on the PH past. “When I went to Moorefield, they weren’t Moorefield Breaks out the Broom in Season Sweep of Cougars winning,” Fiddler said. “When I went to Glenville, they weren’t winning. “I’m not concerned with what’s happened Story & Photos hurler Korey Foltz at the start of the marked.
