Bluefield researcher

https://www.facebook.com/pg/Appalachian-Football-882259341924297/photos/?tab=albums Here are folders with most of the pictures that I have taken. There are several schools missing cause I have them stored elsewhere and will add them soon.

Big Creek was the first field to permanently install lights in 1931. Princeton was actually the first to play a night game in WV vs Shady Spring in 1929. They brought in the "portable flood lights" from Concord) Since everyone wanted to have the experience of playing at night Big Creek played a lot of home games in 1931 and 1932. They were originally called the Big Creek Warriors. This was a compromise with the people from Coalwood and Berwind. The people in War wanted to call the new high school War High like the old school in War was called but of course the people of Coalwood and Berwind objected. So the name was taken from the voting district which was the Big Creek district but the nickname was the Warriors. But since Big Creek played so many games at night everyone quickly started calling them the Owls and it stuck.

And the engineers would stop and watch the games. Wasn't uncommon for them to blow the whistle when the other team had the ball, The original train horn.

But they still gather. Surprises me how it survives but it does.

Bluefield - Graham is the best. Played every year since 1938. Come to see it. Party starts at 10 a.m. Tailgating, live music, radio station remote broadcasts. When any other game can claim that then come talk. Great rivalries that are just a cut below but still great. Richlands-Tazewell: I know it hasn't meant much lately but this goes back to 1926. Played every year but 1943 when the war caused the board to drop teams at Tazewell and Richlands. For whatever reason Tazewell has always put more emphasis on the Richlands game than Graham. Bluefield - Princeton - goes back to 1924. How many schools can say that they were actually banned from playing each other in any sport for four full years? Bluefield and Princeton were not allowed to play anything from 1966-1969 due to the intense rivalry with misbehavior on the field/court and in the stands. Virginia High - Tennessee High - Goes back to about 1915? This would be right there with Bluefield-Graham if the Bearcats were better and if the festivities were there. There was a time when they shared the same field until Gene Malcolm came along. Honaker - Lebanon - I attended one of these once and it surprised me the level of animosity towards each other. Got a lot better when Honaker got better. Abingdon - Marion - played every year usually at the end of the season and the series is very close. Some other good ones. Twin Springs - Rye Cove Narrows - Giles Galax - Grayson George Wythe - Radford Giles - Blacksburg And then those that have died. Appalachia - Powell Valley - every bit as good as Bluefield-Graham. Such a shame it is gone. Welch - Gary - The battle for the barrel. Always played on Thanksgiving in the early days and Veterans Day in later days. Bands, Cheerleaders ,etc were in the parade and then went to the game. J. J. Kelly - J. I. Burton. Again such a shame it is gone Haysi - Clintwood

Bluefield has the talent to go 10-0. The line has been working very hard in the weight room this year which took me by surprise. Talked to a few of them and they said they were not happy with how they performed last year. No one in this area has as much talent returning as the Beavers.

James Monroe, Bluefield and Princeton sill beat half the teams on your list IMO. And yes those four teams "belong" in a higher class by enrollment but I was just trying to give the smaller teams a chance.

I think we need a class A and Class B poll. Class A teams IMO. Princeton Bluefield Richlands Tazewell Graham Pulaski County Gate City Lee Union Abingdon Giles Pikeview Virginia High Carroll County Central Fort Chiswell Marion Lebanon Patrick Henry John Battle Grayson County Radford Ridgeview Class B Thomas Walker Montcalm River View Mount View James Monroe George Wythe Eastside J. I. Burton Grundy Twin Valley Hurley Twin Springs Rye Cove Castlewood Honaker Chilhowie Rural Retreat Holston Galax Northwood Narrows Bland County I did this list out of my head with what I think are about correct enrollment numbers. If you disagree please state why because I may be wrong. If I left anyone off my apologies. Also, there isn't much point in the poll if you are leaving off West Virginia teams intentionally.

The New River District did not play Group I-A during this time. There were no state standings for non Group 1-A teams. Obviously Narrows was New River champions in 1960-61-62.

Agreed. But parents today run the show. It would help to shorten the length of the games though.

Grundy played in Lynchburg 4 times. three of the four were before classes had started. That is not to say that there were not some long distance games cause there were. Richlands went to Harrisonburg once.

I think the change is because the games are lasting much longer and everyone is getting home much later. There are also less and less local schools in the area so travel has gradually gotten further. Changing the time is just addressing a symptom of the problem. The real problem is the time it takes to play a game. It is time that we adopted the NFL clock rules. When the ball goes out of bounds and when there is an incomplete pass the clock starts when the ball is set. There is also no need to stop the clock on first downs unless it is in the final two minutes. Another thing that slows down the games is the fact that they change the ball every play when most of the time that is not necessary. The only reason that the clock stops on out of bounds plays and incomplete passes is because back in the day they played the game with only one football. They had to run down the pigskin after an incomplete pass. Sideline plays took a while too because there were no bleachers. The field was roped off and fans stood behind the ropes. When a player went out of bounds it took a little bit of time to find him, get the ball, and mark it. So they made the rule to stop the clock. Those are no longer factors so let's get the clock moving. One more thing that I have observed. After scores it takes forever to line up for the kickoff. I have timed up to five minutes from the extra point attempt to the actual kickoff. I see no reason not to have a 60 second time between extra point attempt, field goal made, or safety before the ball must be put back in play.

Marion and Saltville both went 1-9 in 1962 with Marion's only win coming over Saltville 14-13 at Marion in the last game of the season. The list came from the Newport News paper so perhaps they truncated the list and stuck Andrew Lewis at the bottom due to the circumstances. This makes sense since Warwick High is the last one listed before Andrew Lewis and Warwick High was in the part of Newport News that had just been annexed from the old Warwick County. Andrew Lewis was most likely lower than 49.

Just to illustrate how close things were in 1962 Tazewell was two points away from the state championship. Tazewell played Andrew Lewis in Salem the week after Graham played Andrew Lewis in Bluefield. Tazewell lost to Andrew Lewis 7-0 when the Bulldogs lost a fumble on their own 13 and the Wolverines took it in for the only score of the game. Of course this result was reversed when Andrew Lewis had to forfeit their games. The following week Graham and Tazewell played on a muddy field at Tazewell with Graham winning 7-6. Graham scored in the first quarter. Tazewell had the ball inside the 5 yard line when time expired in the first half. Tazewell scored with 1:50 to go in the game. They missed the XP but Graham was offside. The second attempt also failed. Both attempts were kicks. Had Tazewell tied the game neither team would have won the championship because Newport News went 9-0-1 in Group 1-A games which would have been slightly better than Graham or Tazewell's once tied records but if they had tied Tazewell would have been ahead of Graham because Graham played two out of state games (Bluefield and Princeton) and Tazewell only played one out of state game (Big Creek). Out of state games did not count in the Group I-A standings win, lose or draw. In 1962 there was no such thing as going for two. It was one point if you ran the ball, passed the ball or kicked on the extra point. Two point conversion were not in high school until 1968. And lastly the only two games that Grundy lost in 1962 were to Tazewell and Graham.

I dug out the articles I have scanned from the Roanoke Times and I "misremembered" a few facts. It has been three years since I researched this. The player became an orphan while attending Franklin County High. He was in the 9th grade. He transferred to Radford to live with his Aunt and did briefly attend Radford. There is no information on whether he participated in athletics at Radford or Franklin County. He did not finish 9th grade at either school for the academic year 1957-58. When he went to Salem he was placed in the 9th grade again for the academic year 1958-59 since he had not completed 9th grade the year before. This is where the problem lies in that he had what counted as two 9th grade years so far as eligibility is concerned. In late October 1962 the principal at Franklin County contacted the principal at Andrew Lewis and informed Andrew Lewis about the players enrollment at Franklin County. The VHSL has/had a by-law that one principal must contact another with any information that they believe the other party does not know about. Once confronted with the facts Andrew Lewis continued to play the player. The principal at Franklin County then contacted the VHSL and the rest is history. Andrew Lewis beat Graham 20-12 on September 15, 1962. They player in question scored the third TD which put Andrew Lewis up at the time 20-6. The other fullback on the Andrew Lewis team scored the first two TD's. Joe Grimm scored both touchdowns for Graham. Everything else that was written before is accurate. This forum does not seem to allow me to attach files or I would attach a few articles that I have scanned from the Roanoke Times.

It was an unfortunate situation. The fullback on the team was in his 5th year. Here is how it happened. The player in question grew up in Franklin County. At 14 he became an orphan. He moved in with his Aunt in the summer of 1957 and was enrolled at Radford High. He was having trouble adjusting to his parents' deaths and got in trouble in Radford and never went to school. But because he enrolled he was considered a student by VHSL rules at that time. His Auntcouldn't control him and he was sent to the Salem Boys Home to live where he settled down and did well. He became an outstanding fullback for Andrew Lewis. Near the end of the 1962 season someone from Franklin County reported to the VHSL about his enrolling at Radford. After an investigation he was found to be ineligible. Andrew Lewis lost all appeals. The player was so upset that he had caused the team to forfeit that he ran away. He wasn't found for several weeks and when he was found he was working in the shipyards at Newport News. The announcement of the final appeal decision just happened to be made the evening Graham was having their football banquet and the announcement was made at the banquet that Graham had won the state championship. Graham lost to Andrew Lewis early in the season and the fullback from Andrew Lewis scored the winning TD.
