I didn't think you would ever ask. @1Wingit23has my vote. I know he's a diehard Giles guy but we've seen that connection work well in the past for Richlands. The man knows his x's and o's as good as anybody. He'll have them bench pressing Volkswagens and squatting trucks in no time.

Extra long cleats wont matter on that turf tho

For the historical aspect that everyone is talking about: Richlands has went winless two times in school history. The 1937 Blues went 0-7-1. The 1970 Blues went 0-9-1. Richlands has never finished a regular season 0-10. Richlands is currently on a 10 game losing streak dating back to the David Crockett game a season ago. It is the longest losing streak the Blue Tornado has had since it lost the final four games of the 1960 season and the first eight games of the 1961 season--a 12 game losing streak that is the longest in RHS history. As for the series with Marion, Richlands holds a 46-17-1 advantage in a matchup that dates back to 1930. Marion has not won since 2017. Dating back to 2001, Richlands holds a 20-2 record in the matchup.

We may have lost two games but both of those teams are top notched and will go far in the playoffs . Did we play well , no . Will we beat Graham , according to the majority on here who have seen Tazewell play and even those who have no clue how good Tazewell is probably not . One thing I will guarantee, these young men will show up and give 150%. They will represent Tazewell well , they will shake hands after the game , and wish Graham good luck the rest of the season ……and as a father of one of the players, who I know will give 200%, I will back them win or lose . Go Dawgs ……

Yep, this board has been around a long time...

THE TWIN VALLEY @ EAST MONTGOMERY GAME HAS BEEN MOVED TO MONDAY, OCT. 30TH

Covid is still a thing?

Covid has hit TV.

I think both teams have guys on recruiting trips to the Georgia/Florida game.

They had a starting linebacker come from Honaker in about 06. That's when it started.

The Johnson bunch was the big news group. I know before that we lost a few players in the 00's to Richlands.

I've said this before.....if you can talk him into coming back I'd try Mark Dixon. I don't think anyone on Graham's staff would go down there at this point. So I'd look at trying to get someone prominent from Unions staff. And if that failed I'd go Shane Wicks. But I'm not hiring. But a house cleaning is in order for sure. And it needs rebuilt from the ground up. Tough task.

I agree with you. Everyone keeps saying talent is down and that's simply the results of good old boy politics. We had some transfer to other schools, assisant coaches transferring to other schools, and good assistants being let go, for simply having a different approach to coaching, as here say goes. A lot of parents of the upcoming players say their players will not play football at Richlands, even if it means the family moving, due to the coaching and political situation. If something doesn't change, fans must get use to loosing.

First off to the "way the cookie crumbles" quote and attitude, that's how you get ants. Coaching wise, the job itself has and could attract candidates. The issue here is pay from the county and county politics. Tazewell County pays far less than surrounding counties, yet my source is only word of mouth. I would like to see some evidence. County politics, especially in Richlands, fall along the "good ole Boy" system, which has bitten them way more times than it paid off. Plus, Richlands wants to win now, and that ain't happening. They are the third best team in Tazewell County and the separation from two to three is widening everyday. Thad Wells killed that program, I will just say. Disagree all you want, but my evidence will outweigh yours. Even Mance struggled early on and people were calling for his job. With that said and seeing how down Richlands players are going thru the motions, I'll pick Marion to play ball control and pull out a win. 21-7. Richlands will break one big play to go for a long touchdown but wont be able to stop Marion upfront from gashing them in rushing yards and YAC.

Be careful what you wish for because you just might get it and take it from a long suffering Blue Devil fan good coaching can't take the place of not having enough talent! It's amazing when the talent increases the coaching does too.

I vaguely remember that but can't recall the decision to put lee in instead of gate city that season. Gate city beat them I recall, but it was top 4 and they outpointed them when they picked up eastern Montgomery. I think that was it, don't recall everything.

For these young mens sake, I would love to see Richlands get the W. I'm really doubting it will happen but definitely pulling for them!! Go Blues!!

Southbound & Falconman for the folks that remember them.

I'm just going to state the obvious here. Those 90's SWVA Friday night atmospheres were built DIFFERENT.
