Hey Graham fans ...

Richlands will win this game. I have seen both VH and Richlands play this year. Richlands' strength is their defense. When Graham played VH, Graham's defense rattled their QB and they started turning the ball over and started playing very shaky and it was all down hill from there. If the Richlands defensive line can create pressure and get the QB out of the pocket, Richlands will when convincingly. VH has a good QB but when he is under high pressure situations and has to make quick decisions, he turned to ball over a lot. Final: Richlands 28 VA High 17
Richlands continues the tradition of making the playoffs and will make a nice run, but please please please, stay the hell away from Graham :)

Respect your feelings, but Graham has a lot of talent. I know Cam Allen personally and have watched him grow up.  Always knew how much heart he had, and knew how much talent he had from little league on up, and Cook is a beast in space, so I'm really not convinced which team would win.  I would hope Richlands would win but would still have to see the final tick of the clock to know for sure, and I think that would be a great game in the area that most fans would love to see.  Usually we fans have to travel great distances to witness games of that caliber. Wish you guys the best and hope to see all of you in Mitchel Stadium.

1) If Richlands does make it into the playoffs, what are the chances that they make a deep run? Could they be the Blacksburg Bruins of last year?
2) What area team or teams have the best chance at going all the way?
 
 
 

Best fanbase? In terms of attendance and school spirit.
Worst fanbase? In terms of just being flat out annoying. 

Since Gate City hammered Graham 70-0 in the first round of the 2014 playoffs, Gate City is 9-23 and Graham is 24-9.

Great game played by both teams; however, this night belongs to the Graham G-Men and the fans from Bluefield, Virginia. The wait has been long but we have never lost the faith ... and tonight we celebtate a thing called ...
GRAHAM PRIDE!
 
 

BRAVO! Graham pride!

Your 2017 Tazewell County Champions...

Some will say say he has a really good assistant coach who is doing it all.  Some will say he has done a fantastic job alone.  Some will say he inherited a plethora of talent and it's easy to be successful with talent and athleticism.  And all may be a factor to some degree.  
But the truth of the matter is that the great and most successful head coaches generally surround themselves with coaches wiser than themselves. Not to mention develop their feeder programs to keep the kids interested and buying into the future of the program.  most programs ebb and flow.  Like the old saying goes "What goes up...Must come down".  Graham has been trending up the last few years and credit to their head coach and his staff for building it back up.

Palmer is a capable coach, but he has also been blessed by an absurd run of athletes at the skill positions that don't come around often.  I think he has some growing to do as it relates to the position itself, but he's capable.

Why does every time a team at any level loses people automatically call them overrated? Geez
Give Graham some credit here...I've watched them in person and they have a Damn good football team this year

I noticed Cam Allen wasn't in on defense early. When ty Gray come off injured is when they put Cam in on D. I guess they're trying to keep him healthy

My 42-7 prediction isn’t looking so bad after all....

Caleb Jennings had some of the best balance as a RB I’ve seen. To be so short he was fast and strong. 

What about 2001 graham? that team was loaded 

The only reason Richlands catches so much crap about “recruiting” is because they win. Ryan is right, every school and sports team around here does it. When I was at Graham, every year multiple players from Graham would go to Bluefield or some Beavers would come to Graham. If Richlands wouldn’t have been so successful these past years, this wouldn’t even be a discussion.

Nothing but absolute respect for the Tazewell Bulldogs. The score at the end of the night will not show how hard these young men played tonight. Give it a couple more years and Tazewell will be very very good

This will be one of the better games of the year in my opinion. No one can argue that these two programs are two of the top programs in our area. I have seen Bluefield play but I have only listened to Richlands on the radio. This game will be back and forth all night, but I have to go with the Blues in this one. If you look at the schedule of Bluefield so far and then look at Richlands, there is no debate and no comparison on who has had the tougher schedule. Other than Graham, Bluefield's schedule so far has been a cake walk. That is why I give the edge to Richlands in this game. Their strength of schedule will have them prepared for the Beavers and the rest of their games from this point forward. Bluefield is a run heavy offense. If Richlands can contain Mookie and tackle Truck and not let him break away for long gains, Richlands will win this game. Bluefield has a very underrated defense and they tackle very well. Richlands needs to keep their offense on the field as long as possible and wear down the defense and they will be just fine. If the game was being played at Richlands, I would say Richlands wins by 14-17 points, but with it being at Mitchell, they will win by 3-7 points.
