Well, the Richlands folks are always gonna give it to you pretty good. Plus, the board is weighted toward Graham and Union and they see Tazewell as a non-factor. The other M7 teams just don’t play or know Tazewell and vice versa. Plus when the Dogs came to Central they got beat up pretty good. And throw in the pretty vocal pro-Dog fan that throws out superlatives and doesn’t really scout the other players around the region. That’s probably most of it.
I think the Bulldogs will be a top 4-5 team in the region….no worse than 6. Until proven otherwise it’s Graham, Union automatically. RV has quietly moved into that top Tier and Central has been there the last 3-4 years and won’t drop too far. Richlands was there but have dropped over the past two seasons. You have to look at Va High and Tazewell next.
