Bluefield researcher

His mother lives in the area I do believe.

I would have to say Robbie Newman's 43 yd HB option catch for Jonesville to tie the 1988 championship game with 1:22 left (only his 2nd catch of the season) was the most important single play in SW VA. It was one of the most unlikely plays I have ever seen succeed and it led directly to a state championship in a school's very last game. As for a play that set up a dynasty it would have to be the final play of the first half in the WV AAA championship game vs Parkersburg. Bluefield ran the Halfback pass where the QB hands off and circles out to receive the pass. The play tied the game at 7-7 and gave Bluefield momentum at the half and they went on to win the game and they have rarely lost that "momentum" since that play. It was the first of 11 championships and many successful seasons since.

At this point in time that only rules out Graham.

Usually not until July and then there are usually several revisions.

This is an honor he is truly deserving. His records were good. His contribution to his community was unequalled.

nep·o·tism /ˈnepəˌtizəm/ noun the practice among those with power or influence of favoring relatives or friends, especially by giving them jobs.

Just 5 months away!

Are you kidding? Most schools systems are loaded with relatives of administrators.

Union replaces Central. Rest the same.

I think my favorite team needs me more in Lincoln, NE

I was also the Stadium voice of the G-Men for the last 5 games last year. I led them to the title. lol

Until Graham - Beaver week!

In 1938 Tazewell and Graham were scheduled to play football at Tazewell. At the coin toss Graham protested three Tazewell players as ineligible. Tazewell refused to remove the three from the lineup so Graham left without playing the game. Tazewell was originally awarded a forfeit by the referee which was correct procedure. Graham appealed to the VHSL the eligibility of the three Tazewell players and eventually two of the three were declared ineligible and no decision was ever made on the third as far as I can tell. Tazewell and Graham both claim a forfeit but upon finding the VHSL ruling in the Bluefield paper the game was declared a no contest. Therefore I have updated the Tazewell and Graham records to show this. That means this year's game is not the 100th encounter between the two but only the 99th.

I came across the all time Virginia All-State teams in a computer file among Marshall Johnson's research. They are posted as I found them on the Virginia Page of http://fourseasonsfootball.com/va.html

And he just sunk the game winning free throw on the basketball game tonight!

When I was a junior at Bluefield High in 1979 we lost one of my friends and a great person at football practice. His name was Stanley Neal. Stanley started feeling poorly at practice and asked to get a drink of water. He was granted permission (which was not normal then) and collapsed at the water spigot. He died that night. He was just a Junior. His number 77 was the first jersey to ever be retired. Only the number 17 of Jay Sims has since been retired.

An interesting side note is that the head coach from Graham graduated from Bluefield and the head coach at Bluefield graduated from Graham.
