  1. Fun fact, the song "Russell County Line" was actually written about the buffet queue at Bonanza.
  2. Looks like it wasn't deleted, but was moved over to the College/Pro Sports board
  3. R.B. Worthy. Can't tell me they aren't recruiting and holding back. 9 state titles were bought and paid for by Olin Matheison, and it's hard to score against a team of 30 year old railworkers who can't read.
  4. Abingdon Signed, every single school with more than 450 students west of Roanoke
  5. One player's injury doesn't define a team... GRAHAM EARNED THAT PLAYOFF SPOT! ...Wait, what were we talking about?
  6. Sometimes "here comes the train," sometimes "here comes the airplane." It's all about knowing your personnel and Harris is excellent at it.
  7. Great effort by the Bearcats. It didn't look good for them at times, but they gave Marion everything they could handle at the end.
  8. Marion and VA High tied at 7-7 after one quarter and, somehow, only one first down in the entire first quarter for either team.
  9. What many people don't know about Coach Tarter is that he actually started his career as head coach of the '87 SMU Mustangs.
  10. 11 consecutive fullback dives up the middle, same ball carrier, 8 min off the clock, and Richlands had no answer. That's deflating if you're a Tornado.
  11. Jack Ginn has won an NCAA playoff game as a head coach and some how is still completely incapable of coaching 2A high school ball.
  12. Games aren't played on paper, and Marion has only beaten Richlands once in the last 20 years and twice in the last 40. Richlands can absolutely win this game. Will they? Who knows.
  13. This thread is so old, it used to smoke Salem Lights back when they were still called Roanoke County Milds.
  14. I'm pretty sure the vehicle length is prohibited on Walker Mountain. I'm not completely sure that a vehicle that long and isn't segmented can make the turns on the north side of the mountain. We went across Clinch and through Tannersville a couple times when I was in high school, but it was usually 81/77/460 through Wytheville and Bluefield. On one occasion, the bus driver missed the turn at Broadford and we went across both Brushy and Clinch. Not a fun time.
  15. You know, honestly, I kinda like the onside kick thing for all the reasons that Kelley uses. My issue is: a) only running players one way when it's obvious that there isn't enough talent to do that b) not running conditioning, leaving the team to crumble late in the season because they're not physically capable of playing four quarters c) (and this one is my biggest gripe) making special teams decisions that indicate that field position doesn't matter to you, while simultaneously running a ball control offense. Those two things don't jive to me I am in no way saying that I could do better, but I'm also of the opinion that there's a fine line between thinking outside the box and being self-destructive in the name of innovation, and Marion is leaning towards the latter and not the former.
