Union High School announces new head football coach

Union High School in Wise County has announced Jamie Harless as its new head football coach, as former coach and now-fugitive Travis Turner remains missing four months after his disappearance. Harless had a 14-season tenure at Lord Botetourt High School with 134 career victories, four regional titles and three state runner-up finishes. He was the first coach in school history to surpass 100 wins. The Union Bears will begin the 2026 season after being undefeated in 2025 regular season play.
