Suit Up

Bluefield will need to play their most complete game of the year to win imo. Bridgeport is kind of like Salem this time of the year, they find another gear.

I’m watching on NFHS Network and I’ll say this. As a Richlands fan I have seen Collier play several times live and I’ve seen numerous amounts of other film on him. And that kids one of the best high school runners I’ve seen. He looks so natural on the field, like he almost glides on the turf and if he gets any kind of opening or a one on one he will make a cut and be gone. Such a talented kid.

Graham had D1 talent on their team?

I thought they and Clarke county were overhyped, both getting beat 14-0 at home.

Central Woodstock is getting beat 14-0 at the half at home to Robert e lee. I’d return that pick and select a new one

Bears and graham are making a statement tonight

Giles can’t get out of their own way tonight.

Reading about the Giles train horn made me remember something. Does anyone know why Richlands didn’t bring the inflatable helmet Friday night?

Bunker was originally from Richlands. Had gym with him in middle school.

That escalated quickly.. You get busy for a couple days and come back to this chaos.

35-21 G-Men

And Richlands doesn’t have a guy named James Mitchell on their team. Rumor has it, he’s an alright ball player.

That would be impossible. In order to run to Salem they would play appo in the semifinals if both get there.

He’s made them from that range multiple times this season. They did say he had a tweaked hamstring, not an excuse just what they’ve said. But with that pressure for a sophomore, a lot of great kickers would miss.

They scared the hell out of em. Not to shabby for a team that’s been called “bad” by some. I think anyone who watched them play knew better. Proud to be a blue tornado. You guys played your hearts out! And congrats to Union. I hope they run it all the way to Salem.

Battle went 6-5 in a 10 game regular season?

1. Union 2. Bluefield 3.Giles 4. Graham 5. Ridgeview 6. Marion 7. Pulaski County 8. Va High 9. Richlands 10. Chilhowie

I wasn’t sure if he had surgery or not. I had heard it wasn’t as bad as originally suspected, but Achilles injuries can be a nuisance to get over regardless of severity.

Kids a beast. I think his mind and heart will be ready to play at full force if he is able to, just don’t know if his body will be. I hope he is able to play and play well. For a kid to never play his senior year in something that goes by as quickly as high school football does, is a heartbreaking thing.

That’s what I figure. Maybe it’s a Blue Tornado miracle.

Tore Achilles against Grundy in the preseason benefit game on Aug. 17

Not really a question for our area, but I think a good one. Do you think the success Appomattox has had in the past will continue into a dynasty of the likes of a Gate City or Appalachia and Powell Valley in the past or do they fall back to mediocrity when the ridiculous talent they’ve had starts to graduate?

Brown isn’t the better of the two though.

Richlands was down 14-10 to Blacksburg and it was Blues ball at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Does that mean they almost beat Blacksburg?Because if I stated that I’d be laughed off the board.

They lost to DB 41-23
