Wonderful thought and idea...........hope they do !!

Prayers for this young mans family, friends, and RHS. Similar situation happened when I was in high school and it literally affects everyone associated with the school. I would love to see Graham and RIchlands come together before the game Thursday night and honor this young man with prayer.

A sophomore at RHS took his own life this morning. I obviously don't know what was going through his head in those last moments, but I do know that bullying was a factor.
It's senseless and stupid to bully and pick on kids. Grow up and realize there's more to life than being better than someone. 
A 16 year old life is now over and it honestly just pisses me off that he thought that was his best option. 
I hope his family and friends find some comfort in the days, weeks and years to come. I know it won't be easy. 
RIP, Justin.

People who say Bluefield plays a "weak" schedule obviously don't know how hard it is for the Beavers to schedule local competition. Teams in the area don't want to play Bluefield because they not only lose but get embarrassed. People always give Coach Simon hell for running up the score on teams but what is he supposed to do? Take a knee the entire second half? People don't like Bluefield for the same reason people don't like Richlands, they win all the time. If your team has dropped the Beavers off of their schedule, then you have no right at all to accuse them of playing weak competition. Especially when Bluefield has had to schedule teams like Charlotte Country Day School in the past because they couldn't get anyone around here to play them.

I think you confused the word “brave” with the word “stupid.” lol. No one is kicking to Cam on purpose. 

Coach Carlock coached the G-Men for 31 years. 1973-2004

Well, since the Town of Bluefield’s zoning doesn’t allow buildings above 4 stories, there will be no repeat of the famous music track “Seventh Floor Crew”.

I call a spade a spade my friend. Believe me, I have the upmost respect for Coach Palmer and what he has done with our program since he has taken over. We have gone from a team that was getting scheduled for everyone's homecoming, to a team that is a threat every year. But it doesn't take Lee Corso to tell us that this team is undisciplined. That doesn't mean these young men are causing trouble or are not good upstanding young adults. It means their emotions get the best of them on the field. Great players and teams learn to channel that emotion and use it productively instead of negatively.

I know from friends I have that are Graham supporters, they love the coach and he relates to them well.  That in itself can be the problem.  Just like with parenting, you have to draw the line at being to much friend and have rules and discipline that isn't always popular.

They've got the talent to be great but the coaches need to reign those boys in big time. Unsportsmanlike conduct like Cam Allen's last week is ridiculous! Actions like that need to be sat down on sidelines Cam Allen or whomever. Just my humble opinion, others might disagree. 

Other than Bluefield, who has the best chance to win the rest of their games?
Which team, other than your winless and one win teams, should be pressing the panic button right now?

Could not agree with you more. Graham is a good football team, but being undisciplined is what's stopping them from being great. The fault falls on both the players and coaches. Players for not being mature enough and the Coaches for not correcting the issues. Cam Allen's touchdown last week is a perfect example. Showboating and talking trash on the way to scoring a touchdown (against a team that has not won a game), only to be taken away. Graham has always had false start and offsides problems, but the unsportsmanlike penalties are uncalled for.  Mark my words, Richlands will destroy Graham this year and not because Richlands has more talent, but due to the fact they have better coaching and are disciplined.

Giles has same situation a couple weeks ago...absolutely ridiculous

I do agree that Graham will win this game, but I have seen Princeton play this year and this game could be way closer than what everyone is expecting. Princeton plays schools much bigger than most teams in our area. One thing I will say about Princeton is that they tackle very well and hit extremely hard. Realistically Graham should win 40 something to 20 something, but if Graham comes out flat or continues to play undisciplined, the Tigers might win this game. I am thinking a final score of 34-24 G-Men.

Final Graham 28 Giles 13. Prayers for the injured Giles players for a quick recovery. Good luck to the Spartans the rest of the way
