  1. That was 1979 and they returned the trip in 1980.
  2. There is a good possibility that Wheeling Central Catholic, WV would come to Tazewell 11-4 or 11-5.
  3. Did they call Tolsia, WV? If so, did they answer?
  4. Like most schools Graham did not have a mascot until 1929 when they were called the Panthers. In 1931 the team was called the Bears. 1935 is the first mention of G-Men.
  5. Bluefield's Caleb Fuller hits 2 long buzzer beaters in the same game. After being down 17 to Greenbrier East in the 3rd Quarter Bluefield came all the way back but with 1 second left and down 3 points and having to in bounds under the opponent's basket it did not look good. But Caleb Fuller took the in bounds, spun and shot from 3 quarter court and tied the game and sent it to OT. Bluefield was up 3 but GE hit a 3 with 5 seconds. With the clock running Bluefield in bounded the ball to Fuller who ran to mid court, released another bomb and it went in again for the win.

  6. In the 1930 Richmond Times Dispatch dated 12-14-1930 it states the game was the class B championship. On 11-28-1942 Covington did beat Martinsville for the Class B State Championship 26-0. The game was at Martinsville. This is a game that I was unaware of. I have added it.

  8. His site was actually one of the main inspirations for four seasons. I discovered his site and wanted to ask some questions. I didn't know whose site it was but it had a phone number so I called. A nice lady answered and explained that the owner had recently passed. Talk about feeling small. But I downloaded his Gate City Spreadsheet and I still have it. The spreadsheet was available for a while on the Gate City High School web page but I didn't see it the last time that I looked.
  9. Railroad towns taking railroad trips. The Clifton Forge trip was a one timer. Roanoke Jefferson was one of the biggest schools in the state taking railroad trips on the N & W to major schools along the rails. Not that railroad is a day in the park but it wasn't a bad trip back in the day. Much easier than bus or van. Bluefield used to take train trips to Huntington, Williamson, Roanoke and other towns along the rail lines. Just pulling one example. In 2015 Bluefield played Mingo Central in a playoff game. It took Mingo longer to get to Bluefield in 2015 than it did in the 1930's on the train.
  10. I know. That score came from me. But I was told that that score may not be correct so I was trying to find out from someone else if possible.
  11. Anyone have the Tazewell - Bluefield score from Saturday afternoon?
  12. Some old Dickenson County papers were put online recently and I found two "new" games between Dickenson Memorial (Clintwood) and Grundy. There was a tie in 1927 and a Grundy win in 1928. Sadly the issues are limited and the football team was not covered very well.
  13. I have Graham, Bluefield and Ridgeview. I also know the Tazewell schedule situation. I am only interested in COMPLETE schedules. I am not interested in rumors or I think we are playing ..... Now it is likely that many schools are playing the same schedule as last year with home/away flipped. If that is so and you are absolutely sure then that is ok. The reason that I am anal about it is it takes about 15 minutes to input a schedule to www.fourseasonsfootball.com and if it is wrong it takes 30 minutes to undo and redo. Here are the schedules that I have from this site's coverage area: Bluefield Graham Ridgeview Thomas Walker If you have a schedule for a school on my site but not from this forum's coverage area you can send that to me by PM if you like.
  14. Powell Valley, Clintwood, Appalachia, JJ Kelly, Jonesville and Lexington are correct. Covington will be soon.
  15. Since the current VHSL playoff system started in 1970 six schools have won the football championship that are no longer open. Can you name them? Five should come pretty easy but can you get the other one? Bonus: soon there will be seven. What school win join "the club" shortly?
  16. Mickey Thompson was also the coach at Park View Sterling from 1990-1999. 71 of his wins were at Park View and 42 losses. He was the coach at Park View in the 1999 championship game that Park View lost to Salem 21-20. Park View also lost the championship to Salem in 2000 under a new coach. 18 years later Park View had to cancel the season for lack of interest.
  17. Truth is the truth. https://www.vhsl.org/alignment/ Giles is the 2A playing 1A and they want the 1A to play 2A?
  18. Stone Bridge wins on a hail Mary type pass on the final play of the game to break a 21-21 tie and win 27-21 in class 5A.
  19. There are lots of places in Virginia that feel sorry. All of the homes not in Lynchburg where the LCA players reside!
