Anyone else hearing the rumblings of a potential lawsuit in regards to the folks living close to the GHS project and the runoff from said project destroying some property?

What percentage of McDowell County kids does the VHSL count as the future Tazewell County population?

Great hire. Proven winner and knows how to run a program.

Nothing about education is easy. One of the most overworked, underpaid professions there is.

But... If you don't teach, you can recruit outside of the school.

Yes.

Would those kids choose soccer over football if soccer was in the fall? The point being, a football program can survive without a few soccer players. Spring sports are spread thin.

So, is Trivette coming to Central to play football?

Let's be real though. Most kids who play soccer aren't playing football other than being a kicker/punter. Kicking/punting can be practiced anytime, therefore a kid could practice both sports in an afternoon and no soccer is being played on a Friday. Baseball and even softball for that matter lose kids to soccer because they can't do both for the most part as games/practices happen at the same time.

^ This. Soccer should be in the fall. Baseball is killing themselves with the bat rules. Forcing folks to spend $200-$500 every year for bats is criminal.

I've heard from a really good source that it could be finished and played on at the end of this season. This should have been done 20 years ago and in honesty I think it will bring interest back to baseball in Richlands.

Snails pace, like everything else around here.

Just paint the gravel green and blue and call it a day. It'll make the kids tougher in the long run.

Grim news this morning seeing that prolific kicking coach Doug Blevins has passed. Heard they found cancer on him too late. He is the second coaching legend with local ties to pass this week. Tony Colobro passed earlier this week as well. Coach Colobro had his hand on a number of programs, both high school and collegiate and was a tremendous man. RIP to these two great men.

Soccer may the worst waste of resources on the planet.

What if VA High protested playing JM and didn't go the Richmond?

I remember when half of the Euro League played at Twin Springs... But yeah, this doesn't happen anywhere other than at John Marshall.

But the banquet room at Bonanza was available, no excuses.

I got hosed by a medical staff once, when I was in a coma.

I heard that no one could agree on a venue change so it reverted back to Gate City. And I thought the only time coaches couldn't agree was in all-district meetings...

I'm sure any kid would choose playing at WVU or Marshall over Charleston.

So... no M7 boys teams advance...

👍

They also say he owned part of The Cricket in Pocahontas before its demolition.
