Two huge passings this week
Mountain Football and 6 others reacted to cityofRaven for a topic
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.7 points -
Kudos to the Va High kids for not backing down. Listening to these announcers try to validate what JM is doing is sickening. They, and the VHSL, should be ashamed of themselves for doing what they're doing. That wasn't a true 2A championship game that was just played.6 points

Gofundme charges a pretty standard 2.9% for the credit card transaction plus $0.30 cents. example: If you donate $100 to a Gofundme campaign then the recipient would get $96.80. As crowdsourcing goes, they are one of the lowest when it comes to fees. They obviously net a lot of money for theirselves because of the volume they receive being #1 in the industry but that is a trade off you take for using a well known & safe platform. If you can donate at First Sentinel bank then I would encourage that but if you can’t make it then I’d also encourage to use the Gofundme. They can use all the help they can get right now.4 points -

I saw my first soccer match watching T.J. Rasnick play at Abingdon. Knew nothing about the sport. Watching the kids run up and down the field for 90 minutes, wow!! Just when you thought the Dawgs were getting close to scoring, down the field the ball went with the Falcons. To be honest, not knowing the game and its nuances, I wasn't a fan of the game. I wasn't there for the game, I was there to see "my buddy" whose Dad made a special protective covering so T.J. could play this game without injuring his leg after surgery and chemo. After the game, I got to talk with him and give him a huge hug. The score didn't matter to me, T.J. efforts and wanting to play, not as handicapped, but a talented soccer player, such an inspiration!!! Here are some excerpts from the BDT published June 10, 2009 titled "Fighting On". "One year ago, T.J. Rasnick was facing an uncertain future. He was receiving treatment for Synovial sarcoma, a form of cancer found near his right hamstring. He missed his junior year on the soccer field with the Tazewell Bulldogs and did not know if he would play again." On June 9th, T.J. signed a letter of intent to play soccer at Emory & Henry. "It's just a blessing to be able to stand here and be ready to go to college in the fall." Even though Rasnick received the diagnosis on March 11, 2008, he never relinquished hope that he would be able to continue his athletic career." 'You just keep your faith in God and you can do anything," he said. "There's not one day that I changed what I wanted to do or my goals. It's always been the same. You've just got a never-say-die attitude." In his final season, Rasnick reached the 100-goal milestone for his career--despite sitting out his junior season. He had 24 goals in his final season with Tazewell, playing in just 12 games. "If you put your faith in God, you can do anything," he said. "You just push every day. You live every day. You just do everything you can and as long as you keep your faith in God you just keep going." "It was never "I can't do this." It was always, "Nothing's ever changed. It's always been the same from day one." "Just never give up," he said. "Just keep fighting every day, keep your faith in God and you'll be just fine. You can do anything." I'm thankful my "grandson of the heart" never felt soccer was a waste of resources to him or those whose lives he impacted.3 points -

Mountain Football and 2 others reacted to Jags52 for a topic
I don’t know the landscape of WV football but I do know they have a great coach! Coach Taylor is absolutely a class act. He cares about the kids and does a great job spreading the word which is something that is lost in this day and age of high school sports. What other coach would wear a shirt with a bible verse on in during the playoffs instead of the school colors! That tells me that he care more about what happens in these kids life’s long after that clock hits zero of that last game. I would want my son to play for a guy like that over a coach that wins multiple state championship but the kids get nothing out of it. Princeton will be winners as long as he is heading up that program regardless of what their record is.3 points -

I think my original post might be getting misunderstood somewhat. I'll attempt to clarify in simpler terms. Would coaches of past generations (70's, 80's, 90's) have been interviewed for open coaching positions based on what a 16 year old kid and his father wanted? I think administrators back then would have told the kid and his dad to piss off.3 points

On this board, we often discus how kids today are just different than they were in previous generations. I don't think anyone here will argue against that point. The same can be said for the adults in the room. Which is something we rarely, if ever, discuss. Could you imagine for a second, administrators interviewing Phil Robbins, Joel Hicks, Willis White, Norm Lineburg, or Robert Casto based on the whims of a 16 year old kid and his overzealous father?3 points -

41-23 at the half with JM leading. All the respect in the world to Va High. Man, this bunch is something. Mozzell (probably off on the spelling) could give a total of 2 rats arses about JM and how great they are. That kid can play. I know it sounds crazy and sure, VH is losing, but to be down by 18 at the half and holding them under 45 points is actually pretty darn impressive. It will get worse in the 2nd half though as VH has major, major foul trouble.2 points -
Daniel Jennings to Princeton
Jags52 and one other reacted to BandanaVTDavis4321 for a topic
I got all the respect in the world for Princetons coach. I'm biased because he's also a Christian. But, we still got to keep stuff in perspective here guys. Princeton had never advanced past the 2nd game of the playoffs until last year and until last year, had only been to the 2nd game of the playoffs just a few times in its history. Yes, a solid team last year, but the stars and moon aligned to where there were crazy upsets in round 1 and 2 that allowed them to somehow play at home in playoff games 2 and 3 before playing the state title game which is game 4 in WV. Princeton was supposed to travel in games 2 and then game 3 if there wouldn't have been pretty decent size upsets which both happened. Princeton lost a kid to WV and one to Air Force. They lost 2 Div 1 players. They will be good again, but Princeton with this current run is only like 3 years deep. There's still no indication that they are completely over the hump and now in the realm of a powerhouse program. Jury is still out on them. I tend to think they keep trending up, but history is NOT on my side at all. History would say otherwise, but history is a weak predictor. The coach they have is incredible, on and off the field, but I truly believe the jury is still out.2 points -

New Head Coach at Richlands
Gridiron60 and one other reacted to Cousin_Hoyt for a topic
Brother Lance. Uncle Percy says it’s about time to shutdown these topic and lock it away. The critics have expounded their thoughts and concerns. The “experts” have voiced their “expert” opinions. The head coach has been discussed, asst coaches’ names have been tossed around along with discussions on “recruiting” and other topics. As always, when it comes to Richlands, The Mayor of the Trailer Park has made the most sense. However, after 25 pages, 614 comments and 51k views Uncle Percy just laughs. He said “Out of this commenting there’s no Paul Harveys that know the rest of the story”. Mayor, Uncle Percy says you’re probably the closest. See folks, Uncle Percy knows something the rest of us don’t and he’s not talking. He won’t even tell Cousin Claude and they both belong to one of those secret societies with about 13 - 15 handshakes and upteem pass words. So Bother Lance, Uncle Percy says if these people haven’t figured it out yet, they probably never will, except maybe the Mayor. So lock her down and turn out the lights as Dandy Don used to sing.2 points -

In my opinion he is doing a good job. He's not everyone's cup of tea. He coaches the boys hard, which they are not used to. He had a couple of kids quit and he lost a couple of big men ( 6'6" and 6'5") who could of really helped but they got in trouble at school and they were gone. He's a former player at the University of Buffalo, played overseas for a number of years and also worked in the Chicago Bulls organization for a couple of years. He's from Rahway, NJ so he brings a certain type of toughness to the program. He also coached the jv team this year who ended up only losing 3 or 4 games. I hope we can keep him.2 points

Mnt 7 and SWD Player of the Year predictions?
Stelley and one other reacted to pakdastands for a topic
In the M7, it should be Ethan Collins. He's the better overall player. He finished the last two years above Garrett for POY. Garrett will probably get it because he is a senior, which is wrong. SWD, in my opinion, it comes down between 2 players. Reece from Lebanon and Mozell from Va High. Arguments can be made for each.2 points
