Lamar Harris

Hubbertville School held a reception on Friday, July 30 honoring Lamar Harris for his 44 years of service to the school and the community. A large crowd of former players, students, coaches, family members and friends gathered in the school’s gymnasium to honor Harris. Glen Allen Mayor Allen Dunavant presented Harris with a framed letter from the Town of Glen Allen, thanking him for his numerous contributions to Hubbertville School and the surrounding community.

A football coaching legend has retired in the Hubbertville community. Lamar Harris decided earlier this month that the time had arrived for him to hang up his headphones and turn the football coaching duties at Hubbertville over to someone else. The decision was not easy, but Harris said after coaching the Lions for 44 years, it was time to step away from his coaching duties. “The timing was right,” Harris said. “I’ve had a wonderful career. If I had to start all over, I wouldn’t have done it any other way.”
