Coach Vanishes Before Big Game
USA, Big Stone GapWed Nov 26 2025
A high school football coach in Virginia has vanished, and not just from his team's lineup. Travis Turner, the coach at Union High School, is now a wanted man. He's accused of some serious crimes, like having bad stuff on his computer and trying to talk to a kid in a creepy way. The police are looking for him, but he's been missing since last Thursday.
The coach was supposed to lead his team to a big playoff game this Saturday. They've been on a winning streak, 12 games without a loss. But now, with Turner gone, someone else will have to step up and coach the team. The players are trying to stay strong and focused, even though their coach is in big trouble.
Turner has a history with football. He used to play as a quarterback and even went to college to play. His dad was his high school coach too. But now, all that history might not matter much. The school says Turner has been on leave, and he's not allowed near the school or the students.
The police are still looking for Turner. They've used drones, dogs, and rescue teams to find him, but no luck yet. The school and the police aren't saying much more about what's going on. They're keeping it all pretty quiet, probably because it's a legal mess.
The team has to deal with all this while trying to win their next game. It's a tough situation, but they're trying to stay together and support each other. Football is a big deal in high school, and this is a tough blow for the team and the school.
