Assuming this is true, that is a pretty good area and school district within the overall Charlotte area (just my opinion). If we hadn't chosen to move back to Virginia, there's a pretty good chance that my wife and I would have wound up there. Perhaps the best endorsement I can give it is that our first dog (who was a fantastic little hound) was a Mooresville native. Bought him from the former MHS principal who happened to live right behind the school complex. cityofRaven 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mooresville is growing like gangbusters. My brother lives in Cornelius. As the areas closer to Charlotte run out of available space, the population keeps spreading further out.

I used to think he was the heir apparent to Mance, but his career trajectory is heading up, and let's be real, a move from Mooresville to Richlands isn't even lateral, it's down. sixcat, Deleted Account, jarhead24219 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixcat 2,919 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 The conference Wells is going into had 5 of 8 6 of 8 schools reach the state tournament last season in football. Three of those five six schools reached the state final-4. The I-Meck-8 conference is the toughest single conference in all of North Carolina regardless of sport, and that's saying something. Moorseville is the smallest of the 8 schools at nearly 1,800 students. My brothers kids go to one of those schools, Hough. I've been to a lot of athletic events through the years with him. I love high school athletics in SWVA, but there is no comparison to what you see down there. Deleted Account 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1inStripes 932 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Thad likes to fish as well, or at least use to as he and I were members of a bass fishing forum a while back ago. I assume he will enjoy skipping docks on Norman in his free time. cityofRaven 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, the portion of the Clinch that runs through Tazewell is a stagnant mosquito den that requires the water to be under 6 inches to flow. But hey, perspective!

Liam McPoyle 1,863 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 Someone from Richlands could be nicknamed the "Golden Riffleshell", a rare species of mussel. The only known place in the world they can be found is near Richlands in the Clinch River and Indian Creek. Biologists have worked twenty years to save the mussel from extinction after a tanker truck overturned spilling chemicals into the Clinch. cityofRaven 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if Wells hadn't gone to NC, do people honestly think he'd leave Blacksburg for Richlands? Think Coach Davis would want to move from Defensive Coordinator to Head Coach when Mance leaves?

Ryan4VT 4,553 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 Bruins hired Eddie Sloss as the new coach. For those who don't know, he was Carroll County's coach. He stepped down in December to "spend more time with family." Guess he changed his mind. Not sure I like that hire for the Bruins.

His 5-35 career record doesn’t scream competence as a head coach. He did double his best single season win total last year though. Carroll went 2-8! By all indications, he is a great person though, so there’s that. By the way Ryan, it was a pleasure to meet you the other night.
