The Galax fans after winning by two safeties and a last second field goal that boinked across the crossbar.

Congrats to new Richlands Head Coach Ronnie Davis. Best wishes in turning it around for the Blues. I'm sure Coach Davis is excited about the opportunity and ready to get busy. Also, a humble and grateful thank you to former coach Tarter for years and years of service to your community. America could use a whole lot more just like you. Good luck to all Blues fans, players, and alums in the transition and new beginning.

I was hoping at least one coach, a DC perhaps, might come back. Haha

Do you mean us as in the Greater Surrounding Bluefield area? Or just homegrown Bluefield, VA talent? Just needing the clarification.

No, then we have to debate who will be the OC & DC and take bets if JM will be hands off and let the new HC, well, coach. This thread has so much more life. 🤣

Then the NFHS needs to do better! Videos not following the play. Break aways or long passes and all the camera catches is the celebration in the endzone. The facebook folks put a better product out there for free than what people were paying for. Again, a VHSL money grab.

I'm sure Davis will do a great job, maybe if he can give them a few years at the helm, it will get them steered back in the right direction. He has a lot of time in the County and you have to wonder how many more years he's going to work in the school system, so there's that. Maybe they can bring one of the younger coaches along for the long haul. They need some stability and somebody who can get the kids to come out and buy in. I don't think they have a tremendous pool of athletes to choose from right now, so it will most likely be a rough road for a few years, regardless of who is coaching. I wish him luck, he certainly has his work cut out for him. Anybody expecting a quick turn around will probably be disappointed. It will take time to re-build the program.

1 Graham 2 Union 3 Tazewell 4 Ridgeview 5 Gate City If Union can figure out the QB situation they could be #1 but after hearing Tazewell has so many starters back I could see them being the best and if Graham can replace Clements they could be the best so to sum it all up I don’t know but we should see some great football next season

Floyd. and are we counting BMS in this or just BHS?

My best guess is none. Who knows though. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I know you’re responding to the other quote, but my issues are based upon an inability to differentiate between the two. The state line and family on each side makes transfers much easier to move to whoever has the hot hand. I only concentrate on Graham due to the competition. I’m rooting for the G-men over their West Virginia rivals. Admittedly, some jealousy of success is the primary motive. I still stand by the advantages stated earlier as the primary reasons for that success. Still, good luck to Dennis Palmer and to the G-men when playing someone outside Tazewell County.

I have no idea how to break a tie when both of you picked identically all the way to the title game, so you both win! lol.

Hinkle will be a big target too. I think they should use him more next season, tall receiver, good hands. Also, Chase Noel, if he plays. RB will be the question mark. Mullins may be able to take that role, he is a durable athlete.

Cant make any assumptions or predictions until the transfer portal shakes out.

It would have been done in executive session, in private, I think.

The Iowa Connection.

Watch yourself Dan, you don’t disrespect the Spartan horn. I will come to Pounding Mill and blow it outside your house all hours of the night.

Hmm there could be worse options…

I'm not sure if there is a clear top 3 Graham and Union are the teams to beat respectively in both district Second tier- can hang with the top tier should have better athletes than everyone else Tazewell- QB and best WR is back so they can still score on the lower tiers at any moment but graduation did take away some of Creasy's weapons. I expect this next season to look a lot like Harris senior year. How can we get McDonald the ball Gate City- On the rise. Bledsoe graduates which is a big loss but I am hearing that Houserights son can sling it. If that rumor is true they have pretty good skill out side to make you pay. I think their coaching is good enough to over come playing some younger players early. I would look out for this bunch Ridgeview- The only reason I saw Ridgeview is because of O'Quinn who must have taken his COVID year Third tier-Any team in this group could jump up and beat a tier 2 team but doesnt have to horses to run with a tier 1. They could also slip and and lose to the bottom tier if they have a bad day. Marion- Graduation is going to hurt this bunch, this senior class was pretty good. I think Ginn has done a great job in the weight room with these boys you can tell the difference when they get off the bus. This isnt your doormat of the SWD any more. This years team will have a lot of new faces but not young these upcoming seniors will have 3 years in Ginns feed the cats program and I think it will play off. The Flexbone is finally started to look as frustrating to opposing teams at Giles single wing. Ball control and a onside kick or too will win the Canes a few VA High- Young QB showed a lot of promise late in the year. That kid can run with the best of them. I think he will only be better and be the next "How long has he been playing" QB in the area. Their numbers where low last season which is concerning for the future but Coach Patterson is a great coach and a great person he will work those hall ways and get the kids out that he needs to be competitive. Lee- Pendergraft and Early are back and with a Coach Carroll offense they should have plenty of fireworks on that side of the ball. They Pendergraft will be entering his 4th year starting on varsity and I think he is due for a break out season. Defense was an issue at times for the Generals this last season but I am confident that Coach Carroll and staff will refocus those boys in the offseason and right the ship. Lebanon- If Reese can get any help from a supporting cast Lebanon could explode this season. Reese has the best arm talent in the region by far and if he stay at Lebanon I they have the chance to knock off anyone they play in the shoot out. The defense has got to get better for the Pioneers and they have to find a run game outside of Reese scrambling around. If they can find those two things then Lebanon is dangerous. If Reese finds himself on another roster you can bump Lebanon down a tier and move up who ever get him. Bottom tier- can catch a team above them slipping and get a win but against tiers 1 and 2 it should be a running clock in the second half John battle - Battle upset Abingdon and Lee last season but lost to close games against VA high and Holston. If they pick up wins against those 2 then they are a playoff team for the first time since 2018. IMO Battle is the toughest coaching job in the region. No other coach has to deal with playing 3rd fiddle to basketball and baseball. Hats off to Coach Ricker for putting together their best season in 5 years maybe they are turning a corner but until I see other wise they are the best of the bottom group. Central- If they got another super class it cant get here soon enough. This team was a shell of what it has been the past few years this season. At the start of the year I looked like they had new life with the transfer QB but once he got hurt it was a long year for the Warriors. In the past they had hung there hat on having a stingy D and a tough OL with a run the ball mentally until you broke. This season it looked like they had a hard time getting a first down on air and their defense was giving away TD like Opera gives away cars. Maybe they bounce back this year but it going to take some work Richlands- coming off the worst season in program history things can only get better for the blues. I lot of this boils down to who they hire as head coach but even if they get a homerun hire I do not think there is enough there to see quick results. If they give the right guy time to reset the culture and install a system that works for what they got then I would move them up but it wont happen over night. Richlands will stay down here for atleast another year or two

Creasy played against Greg Mance his senior year

Giles will continue its 7th year of rebuilding next season.
