Today I’m joined by Strasburg head football coach Tripp Lamb, who just led the Rams to the first football state championship in school history.Coach Lamb and I talk about why it took such a storied program so long to break through, and what the title means to Strasburg and the Shenandoah County community. We cover his playing career at Staunton River High School and Bridgewater College, followed by his long tenure as an assistant at Strasburg before taking over as head coach in 2024.We then dive into the historic 2025 season—the defining moments, the players who made the difference, and how belief, culture, and execution finally brought a championship home.If you love Virginia high school football, program-building stories, and the impact of sports on small communities, this episode is a must-watch.
