Just got back from eating Thanksgiving dinner with the little ones at the primary school. So I decided to drive by the park and check on the field not only was it raining but the big stone gap and Appalachia fire departments were both there pumping water out of the Powell river and drowning the field with water no speed advantage this weekend it will be slooping. #LETITRAIN.

Keep pumping....... these Tazewell county boys know how to buy our cleats for conditions like that.

Graham has a lot to prove on saturday. They can either show up and claim their stake back in the upper echelon of SWVA football or be considered just a pretender and not a contender.

Hope they screened out the brown trout. 😉

Whose being arrogant from Union i don't think one person from Union has picked us to win.... Just saying

Instead of the box and 1 its the ejection And 1.

I like your predictions😂

We will see Saturday. Folks at Bullitt are a little harder to impress after last year.

Isn’t that right, @Ryan4VT ? 😂😂

Thanks havoc

The Fighting Phils, has a nice ring to it lolol

BigWinners High? The Fighting Phils? 😂

I heard he was buying the property that old Appalachia High School and Riggs Stadium sit on and turn it into a state of the art facility that surpasses Ridgeview and that way all of the Union folks would want to transfer, leaving Union to scrap for any kind of mediocrity moving forward with the likes of Lee High and Gate City. 😄

Because there's already a link to coalfieldsports articles at the top of the forum.

Graham's Lester is Mr. Versatile... https://www.heraldcourier.com/sports/vhsl-football-playoffs-graham-s-lester-is-mr-versatile/article_83a70cf2-e871-11e8-b1ac-c3cc96f22782.html

Good for Zac Ervin! Wofford’s built itself a nice little program in the SoCon, and the college itself is undervalued as a liberal arts school. Here’s to 4 years of success at Wofford!

I don't claim to know big ugly vol well, but I do know he is no snowflake. haha just the opposite actually

How did we get so off topic..... Cam Allen best I’ve seen in entire area including over Bluefield Players. Devin Lester close 2nd. Explosive

Graham lost some good ones in Martin, Dalton and Curto. But they return a bunch and are getting some good ones from J.V. Baker, Dawson,Allen, Lester are returning. Graves and Meadows are coming up from the J.V. They have some other quality players, just can't think of them right now. They should definitely be considered as one of the top teams.

He was only with us for 2 years, but he tried the “Square peg in a round hole” philosophy with our kids, offensively speaking. I believe we were 6-4 in his first year and 4-6 in his second year. Coaches and parents alike said that he regretted coming down here almost immediately. Now this is all heresay because I wasn’t “Bearcat Dad” yet at that time, but I did watch the games. The team looked undisciplined and there were a lot of games, especially in year 2, that the entire team looked lost. Dont let the 6-4 record in year one fool you. VHS had a very weak schedule in the two years that he was here. We weren’t close to being competitive to the Gate City’s, Tn. High’s, or any of the good teams on our schedule then. He left as soon as the opportunity presented itself. An assistant coach from his staff, told me personally that he just never really clicked with the kids at VHS. He also said that Thurman refused to change his ways and adapt his schemes to fit his personnel. The assistant told me that he liked Thurman as a person, but the coaches were always butting heads during his time here. We were very excited to get him, but it just didn’t work.

Ridgeview 42-7

Doubt that. I hate DB! I’d support him and hope things turn out better than the last one. I’ll give anyone their fair chance. As I did Akers, but it doesn’t take me long to be able to judge if a coach is a good fit or if he knows what he is doing. I’ll support the man, whoever it may be. Until given reason not to. The lack of respect for the kids and the assistants along with their opinions on things during games or during practice did it for me. I had a close connection that played for Akers, I heard things he said and did that I lost ALL respect for him. People can say what they want about Akers and blah blah. But I believe this kid and his close friends I got to talk with about him. We need someone who the kids are going to buy into and respect. That’s gotta be the first order of business. 1) Respect the pride and tradition 2) Establish discipline 3) Believe in the kids 4) TEACH football 5) Be very involved in the LL program and promote it different ways, social media, trips with varsity players/coaches, cheerleaders and even the mascot to the elementary schools to convince kids to play, make the uniforms “COOL” so kids want to play. Make it worth playing. Give everyone a bunch of time to sign up. Stop the stacking of teams, that I hear has been happening. Make winning the season have a reward, get rid of the “participation trophy”. 6) Be the man you want the kids to grow up to be. Respect and trust the players and your assistant coaches. And you’ll earn yours. And bonus 7) Trash the ugly uniforms Akers wasted money on and get some blue helmets. LED scoreboard and hire someone to pressure wash the stadium and paint! It looks awful! i don’t expect much...

Not sure about that....Adkins may have the best hands on the team Richlands may want to put there best cover man on him

I hope Grundy pulls an upset...but it will be tough...

Mount View becomes only the third school in WV history to win a playoff game in all three of West Virginia's classifications. Ravenswood and Musselman are the others.

In the last few days, dickenson co. Has lost 3 lives due to auto accidents. Had another who survived. So, everyone be safe , be alert, we all get on here and b.s. alot, but in the end, we are just folks. Much respect to Richlands . Know they are still hurting from Johnson's loss.so safe travels to everyone...
