  1. It would be nice if they would do the synthetic turf field. Seems like they always get left out. It has always felt like they were an after thought and Richlands and Graham would get what ever they wanted.
  2. There has been talk of consolidating schools for over 50 years.
  3. When is Tazewell going to get a synth turf field? They have always played second fiddle to Graham and Richlands.
  4. We like creek ratz which is next door to dead dog. It has decent food but especially in the summer you can sit outside and they have live music. We haven't gone to Dead Dog much, but I will always support them because of the way they treated their employees after the place burned. They kept them on the payroll and some of the employees actually helped with the rebuild of the place.
  5. We live in MB (Carolina Forest area). Saw that story on the news last night but there was no mention of the AR-15.
  6. Sounds like your OCD kicked in. 😄
  7. They are painting the town "Teal" even closed some of the streets in town to paint them with a Chant.
  8. Just heard that Liberty cancelled and Coastal will now be playing BYU.
  9. He has competition down here for players. Myrtle Beach, Carolina Forest are the bigger schools in the county and they get most of the better talent.
  10. Yes the game is tonight, there were some rain showers and some lighting in the area Friday night.
  11. Who was the one brave soul that voted against the phase 3 model?
  12. I know in SC some of the HS coaches are making $60,000 + and they don't even have to teach a class.
  13. If that is the case, then it sounds like a waste of money. If they are looking to spend nearly 10 million on a sports complex then why not have room for Basebal and Football. It doesn't have to be a full field. How big of a field do they use for the 7 on 7? They could have that in there then and not worry about weather.
  14. I see that Tazewell is going to do a "feasibility" study for a sports complex in town. I wonder what all will be in there. Hopefully there will be an indoor area for footbal practice area.
  15. Has the Coppinger tournament finished and what were the results?
  16. Consolidation has been talked about before way back in the late 60's and early 70's. At that time they were talking about combining Richlands and Tazewell.
  17. I too believe that it is a combination of reasons. I think the biggest is the lack of jobs in the area other than coal mining. The need for manufacturing and other service related jobs contribute but you can't get those in the area because of the lack of access to the major transportation hubs (Highways, Railways and airports). There is also not a lot of tourist related jobs because of the lack of attractions and again the roads. The other reason falls on the access to tv, videos, and electronic games. Disappearing are the days when a bunch of kids get together at "Johnny's House" to play football or baseball and even basketball. I too am one of those that left the area because of work and was gone for almost 30 yrs. I did return for a couple of years but there was nothing there and the crime and drug problems are bad. So with that you can't attract anything. Now I live out of state in an area where we can't build houses, apartments and schools fast enough because of the growth. The football programs (and baseball) programs have a lot of participation. And yes a bigger number of D1 and D2 level players (plus it seems that they grow bigger down here). They have a spring football practices and 7 on 7 games.
  18. Why don't they break the state into 2 sections east/west, upper/lower state. They do this in SC. They end up with more schools involved then the 2 champs in each class play for the state championship.
  19. Heard that RHS pulled there team off the field before the game was over. Any truth, if so why?
  20. Pay back is He@#. Guess they can"t take it.
  21. Bound to be an empty cow pasture somewhere around to use. Also don't need bleachers that way everytime you have a game you can have a standing room only crowd!
