Author: Carl Lee November 13, 2025 Duration: 54:14
On this week’s Let’s Talk with Carl Lee, co-hosts Lisa Otey and Hollis Lewis sit down with South Charleston High head coach Donnie Mays and standout senior Malcolm “LB” Brown for an in-depth conversation on leadership, loyalty, and the evolving world of high school football. Mays reflects on rebuilding the Black Eagles program through culture and accountability, while Brown shares why he stayed loyal to his teammates amid tough seasons — earning multiple Division I offers in the process. The discussion dives into transfer rules, player development, playoff structure, and the mental health challenges facing student-athletes across West Virginia.
