Agreed but I am biased. I don't begrudge any player that made the team, however, it is definitely a flawed process it seems.

Great job guys! Enjoyed listening to the Podcasts this season! I declare Brady champion because he picked the champion and that should count for double 😂 Just tryin' to help a brother out! Final Note: Tony Palmer is a class act! It's for real and not for show! 🏆

Congratulations to all those recognized. 👍🏻

Now, now boys play nice.

Agreed, congratulations to those that were recognized.

I get the spreading it around but on the other hand recognition should go to the superior players. A lot of folks these days have that "participation trophy" mentality. It's a situation, you're damned if you do, damned if you don't...so let's opt for spreading it around. That makes more people feel good.

He performed a whole season worth in a half a season compared to a lot of other defensive players from other teams...just sayin'

IMO, Sesco from Graham should have been recognized for OL but as I said, IMO. Edwards was a beast on defense but I get he wasn't there at the beginning of the season. I'm sure he'll make the cut next year if he stays healthy.

Don't crickets hibernate? I never hear them chirping in winter.

Here's a little tidbit per Tim Hayes that showed up on social media: "On this day in 2006, Richlands won the VHSL Group AA, Division 3 football championship with a 29-28 win over Rockbridge County. It capped a perfect 14-0 season in which the Blue Tornado averaged 46.6 points per game. (Photo by David Crigger/Bristol Herald Courier) " I guarantee Dennis Palmer as Richlands Defensive Coordinator in 2006 would have laughed if somebody told him back then that his third state championship would come as an assistant at Graham in 2018.

@Ryan4VTI understand why Blues' girls aren't playing tough teams like Union & Bluefield but the boys have seasoned players and veteran coach. Do boys & girls teams have to play same schools?

Thanks for keeping me straight! I noticed unless I overlooked it which is possible, they don't play Union or Bluefield like they used to either.

Well, that's not much more then, guess my eyeballs were frozen shut or something. Or I'm just a really bad estimator.

It looked like they had about double the players compared to Graham. I don't know exact numbers but definitely more!

Many Bluefield Beavers supported Graham on Saturday. Many GMen fans supported Beaver last year and this go around. Having both a state champion and runner up in 2018 is great for the Bluefields! Graham and Beaver had tremendous seasons! They are the best in our coverage area, no doubt! I think both will be in the mix next year and until they play that first game of 2019 season, can we all just get along and be happy for both team's success? With that, go GMen come August 2019!
