Dalton Miller called himself a “high-energy guy,” and he sure wasn’t kidding. 
In a conversation at his desk in Hampton, the new Hawk boys basketball coach was leaned forward and intense, but in a good way. 
On the basketball floor, Miller commanded the attention of nearly 20 players in purple practice jerseys with a booming voice and precise communication. 
Miller is set for his first season at the helm of the Hampton boys basketball program and is excited to call the small D2 school home. 
“The guys have really stepped up to the challenge to make sure our gym has a lot of energy,” Miller noted. “I’m glad I’m here and thankful for the opportunity. Win or lose, we’re going to do it together.”
