SWVsportsNUT 22 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2018 How is Richlands this year? Seems like it was a nice win last week against a solid opponent. I know Bluefield has a very good team but it is never easy to come out of Richlands with a win... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tru Blue 72 423 Report Share Posted September 25, 2018 I think it will be a respectful score, and things can always happen. No one gave Richlands much of a chance last week, and deservedly so, but things happened that were not foreseen and the Blues won. Going into this game it looks like there is no chance in heck that Richlands wins, but things can happen! Go BLUES!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain Football 1,532 Report Share Posted September 25, 2018 I wish Graham was away this week because I'd like to go watch this game. I may be wrong but it seemed as if Bluefield was in "cruise control" after the first offensive play against Graham. Their O line had our D line going by our Safeties on their heels. I have no doubt Richlands will give it all they got. Sometimes our best just isn't good enough. Bluefield by at least 14. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWVsportsNUT 22 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2018 Will be interesting to see how Richlands pass attack does against Bluefield and there secondary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stu_bean 1,058 Report Share Posted September 26, 2018 I'll say this much, Bluefield this year is probably the best all around team I have ever seen in person. Their secondary has eyes on the ball and makes adjustments to make the play. Going to be very hard to go deep on them unless you have a very speedy receiver. The passing to the flats and quick hits is the best thing you can do to them and they react quick to it and have solid tackling so there is no YAC. Good luck trying to get to the edge on them either. Even with the speed that we have they shut it down quick. If Richlands has a week front line it will be a long night for them. Could be wrong like I was last week about them but I don't see this as ever being a close game. Even if they pull starters and let Richlands think they are going to try and come back look for it to get shutdown real quick.

frito gonzales 103 Report Share Posted September 26, 2018 Nobody in this area will beat Bluefield this year. They are to big and to fast. SWVsportsNUT and Gridiron60 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhs7695 185 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 Bluefield is beatable. They are having trouble defending the short passes out to the flats and that's had them on their heels a bit when teams can execute that against them. I don't see Bluefield dominating this game by any stretch and I think it'll come down to a late score for who ever wins this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mv91 259 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 I am gonna say Richlands 10-7 with a late field goal by Levi Forrest lol Seriously, it looks like Bluefield is the real deal just based on the scores of their games and what people have said about them. I know Richlands will come to play. I feel Richlands needs to establish an "effective" running game and mix in the short passes. A methodical approach is likely Richlands best chance. Bluefields speed may very well be the difference. I know Blacksburgs sure was!!! Hoping for a good game SWVsportsNUT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWVsportsNUT 22 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 Or MV it could easily come down to the same thing with a late FG from Kaulin Parris. It is a definitely a heck of a high school kicker matchup with 2 of the best around. mv91 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWVsportsNUT 22 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 Ultimately it sounds like it will come down to how mush protection Race gets and the time he has to get those passes off as to how close this game will be or if Richlands has a chance for a W. Bluefield has some major size and speed on that defensive line which is going to make things very difficult. Not to mention the beaver secondary which is pretty darn good as well. But with all of that said playing at Richlands is always a hard place to play for opposing teams. Is it Friday yet?!? 😂 mv91 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mv91 259 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 Agreed, Race makes great decisions but if he is pressured by a great pass rush, it will very likely be a long night for the Richlands passing game!! Just hope we can get the running game established which would in turn slow down the pass rush some!! SWVsportsNUT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping for a good game Agree with you, but Richlands has to come out fired up from the first whistle like they did in beginning of the second half against BG. I beleieve turn overs will play a part in this game and hope the officials don't get flag happy. I think Richlands has a good chance and if history serves me, (and I may be wrong), Richlands has been one of the few teams in the area to recently beat Bluefield two years in a row, so with my "Heart of Blue", I'm going with Richlands 24 Bluefield 21 mv91, swva_havok_fan and Bigrhsfan 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you should always be fired up for a football game but especially when you have the chance to upset a team the caliber of Bluefield!! Go Blues!!

Gridiron60 2,555 Report Share Posted September 29, 2018 Well, that was ugly. Nobody can touch Bluefield not even Mance's Blue Tornado; lucky they have that foot of Levi Forest to at least get them to double digits against the best around our area this year!
