Cradle of Coaches: East Liverpool's Lou Holtz Immortalized, Appreciated at Upper Ohio Valley Hall of Fame

Ohio is known for great football in all corners of the state. Stemming from those great programs are even better coaches, leading Eleven Warriors to investigate how these great leaders are remembered in their respective hometowns.

There is a stone wall at the corner of West Fifth Street and Market Street in East Liverpool, Ohio, that sticks out amid the classic architecture present in the surrounding blocks of a legendary football coach's hometown.

It's got a rustic feel to it — odd, even. There are other stone walls visible in this town of fewer than 12,000, but none as prominent as the one on this corner.
