HM3-8404

superbeast I went to Richlands 2+2=Football. But I got an A in recruiting. I hope I didn't just give a school secret away, all high schools offer that course right? 

HM3-8404.. I made the comment to the folks I was sitting with after the Union/Graham game that Cousin would be at Richlands next year..haha

It is my humble opinion. . . and I have said this quite a few times on here. . . but 2A has many more quality teams than 3A and I don't think there is much of a difference at the top.

No one in the SWD wants Carroll back.

Mine was my rank HM3 = E4 Navy Hospital Corpsman, 8404= combat medic taking care of Marines

I think fans everywhere criticize coaching, whether it's another team or whether it's their own.
 
Section of crowd I sat in at Wytheville Saturday were getting all hostile with GW's coach for not throwing the ball, or when they did throw the ball, they wanted that screen pass to be a deep ball.
 
People that used to wear red were calling for Rick Mullins' firing about halftime of the Wise Central game in week 2.  My Facebook timeline lit up... Lol.
 
Obviously things got much better as the season progressed and things quieted down... I'm from Haysi, and I can't criticize.  Even though Colley had the offensive mastermind, it's Mullins who has a ring.
 
I think I seen another thread on here where fans criticize their own team (Giles maybe?).  Like I said, I think it happens everywhere.  Haters gonna hate when adversity rears its ugly head, but they'll be your best bud when things are peachy keen.
 
If Richlands had beaten Appomattox, I'm sure Mr. 4A would have been like... "Boy, I sure wished I worked for coach Mance, cause he's so cool..."
 
My two cents about the original topic.  As far as golf goes, I once hit a hole in one on a putt putt course.  :D

I plan on putting Raven, Virginia on the international map one day.
 
Legally or otherwise. 

I was at this game and unfortunately had to sit on Appomattox side because I got to the game 2 hours before kick off and Richlands side was already filled up! Anyways, Richlands defense done a lot of bending but didn't break. Appo had many chances to go up a couple of scores in the 1st half but The Blues D turned it up a few notches when Appo had the ball on their side of the field. Appo is a great team, but it looked to me like once Richlands got up a few scores, they no longer played to win. They played to not lose. But I will agree that the Appomattox D is as great as what every said. Was hoping to see a Richlands/Union rematch but when don't always get what we wish for

After watching those two Appo games on Youtube, I really thought the Blues would have won this game by a couple of scores. I guess the Raiders where better than they looked. I live streamed the game as soon as I left the Park. I stated earlier that I thought the game would come down to the Appo DBs vs the Tornado WRs. Sounded like it did from what little I caught on the radio. Correct me if that wasn't the case.
 
I know that I dreaded seeing you guys again in Salem, but I was pulling for you all the way. My heart sank when that ball was intercepted in OT. Congratulations on a great season! Much respect!

I was there and that really made me upset..... Ref plodded up to place the football, stood over the ball until defense was set.....that was just wrong.

What do most people like more a NCAA basketball tourney with some scrubs getting in and more fan bases getting involved and some young kids getting more practice and schools making more money ( because lets get serious football money is what props up all other high school sports in 75% of schools). 
 
Or a NCAA football type of tourney where just a few make it in. 1) because they play in a poor district. 2) Have great programs like a Union/Richlands/GC so teams trying to build up a program like a Graham/Rv/Grundy will always fall short.
 
I will never complain to loudly if Richlands makes it with a 4-6 record, but I would flip my lid if we missed the playoffs with a 9-1 or 8-2 record because we have a 3A  Abingdon in our district. 
 
Here in SWVA with the economy struggling and money short and knowing how much pride we have in High School football and how much enjoyment we get out of watching and supporting our boys it just seems like common sense that the more teams you have involved with football playoffs the better for everyone. 
 
I know some of you old school guys liked it when the regular season would mean something, but times have changed. 20 years ago would anyone have believed that the 2 AA teams from far SWVA would be to 2 teams left with the high powered passing offenses with all the skill players running and gunning for over 40 points a game.

False alarm.

The player I will be the most excited to see on the field tomorrow for the Blues

GO BLUES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good luck richlands from a Union guy 👠Represent well

Good Season Abingdon, you represented SWVA well.

I'm not the only one!!!!!! I get that 99% of mascots have an s to make it plural, but Richlands and Stanford don't. So stop. Lol.

Glenvar doesn't overlook any opponent. Regardless of location, or a teams win/lost record. Glenvar respects every team they face. Who ever said this needs to have thier mouth washed out with soap.

I posted earlier this year that I spoke with " someone in the know " from Glenvar and they said they were not worried with anyone west of Giles. From the bottom of my heart I hope Union will pound Glenvar's peepees in the dirt and show them that the boys from Southwest Virginia can play football! If Richlands don't win it all I really hope Union can. I think this is how 99% of Richlands fans are thinking.
