    One was a four-year starter on the offensive line at Liberty University; the other played and later coached under Rich Rodriguez at Glenville State College, where he studied the spread attack. For both Ben Martin and Brad Bradley, who were approved as the head football coaches at E.C. Glass and Heritage, respectively, on Tuesday night, there was a sense of coming home when they introduced themselves to their new schools this week.
