Hey now, guys, let's not cut off our nose to spite our face here 😂

This hasn't aged too well. Lebanon always has to be acknowledged in baseball as a top tier team. They are a baseball powerhouse. On the list above, Lebanon has beat both Tazewell and Abingdon twice. They would probably beat John Battle as well. They are most definitely the primer baseball team in SWVA regardless of size.

A little birdie told me that Harris is happy where he is and loves it, No intentions of leaving. But even the best person can have a change of heart for whatever reason. I can assure Harris will be there for this coming year.

I think it’s his as long as he wants it. In the beginning after Wells left, I thought Tarter didn’t want it because of his son playing college ball. Wonder if they’d replace him with a Richlands’ assistant or former assistant or go with someone with no significant ties to Richlands. I really wondered how long Harris might stay at Tazewell with both his boys playing at collegiate level now. Right now, I don’t think either is going anywhere but I could be wrong. I just haven’t heard any talk of them leaving their respective programs.

I just don't think we have a strong Marion presence on the board. I wish there was a more diversified set of "team" posters. We can only talk Graham and Union for so long. I also wish we had more Abingdon and Va High as well. I think Richlands is well represented as is Ridgeview...Tazewell used to be until that impactful loss to Ridgeview silenced the biggest Bulldog supporter on the board. I kind of miss his hot-as-hell takes. Lebanon and Honaker are also under represented as are most single A teams.

Should be plenty of “Tea” to go around next season. He gave out plenty of tea bags back in the day.

1987 Richlands at Tazewell Tazewell was the defending state champion and Richlands came in 3-0 and unscored on. Back then the games started at 8 pm and the stands were full at 6:00. It has to be the largest crowd ever at Tazewell ..reportedly 9k to 10k in a 5,000 seat stadium and easily more than than the state final the year before. It was a back and forth game in which Tazewell stopped Richlands QB Adam Lallande on a 4th down option keeper late in the 4th quarter with the score tied 21-21. Tazewell then won the game on Quentin Reed’s 4th TD run of the game. Some others that were already mentioned: 2016 Richlands - Stuarts Draft state semi 1996 Grundy - Salem state semi….one of the most miserable weather-wise I’ve ever witnessed….cold and it rained sideways most of the game. Grundy fumbled inside the Salem 5 in OT and lost 6-0 The Galax v Clintwood state championship game. As an impartial observer with no dog in the fight, the Galax receiver slipped, he wasn’t pushed. Another couple that weren’t the best, but two of the most memorable (and strangest). 1995 state semifinal. Graham beats William Campbell 7-6 despite getting only one first down the entire game 😂. The winning TD came on an INT return and the first down came late in the 4th when they were trying run out the clock. 1991 Bluefield 6 Graham 4 ..the ESPN Scholastic Sports America game won when Ron Betts (Beaver’s third QB of the night) throws a TD pass in the final minute.
