Bluefield researcher

I haven't done any research before 1919 yet.

He went from Lebanon to Virginia High and back to Lebanon.

It's cool. Just friends chatting.

I think this is an NBC rule. And really, does anyone watch high school sports coverage on TV? It's terrible. They film a few random plays, go back to the studio with a roster and play random plays and call them highlights. Now a Saturday morning show where important plays are shown and discussed would be good.

I have all of the Bristol Herald's scanned from 1960 up and most before that.

Sarge was 40-43-1 from 1983-1990.

Yes they do! They also let me in the office to go through all the old papers that they had bound in books. Unfortunately none before WWII hence the limited information on Galax back that far.

Dave Rider won one less game. 65-22-05. 1966-1972, 1974-1975.

But everyone in Beckley is watching!

Most wins at schools. Only list the top coach and the 2nd if the 2nd won at least 100 games. Not by winning percentage, just by number of wins. Does not include record at other schools. Does include this year's games when applicable. 049-030-08 Ken Mathews - Abingdon - 1957-1965 069-054-04 Bill Jonas - Alleghany County - 1966-1978 041-063-00 Jack Baker - Alleghany - 2003-2012 112-035-08 Eddie Joyce - Andrew Lewis - 1960-1974 205-107-01 Tom Turner - Appalachia - 1980-2005 101-025-06 Jim Riggs - Appalachia - 1960-1972 040-081-00 Steve Wright - Auburn - 1992-1997, 2001-2006 087-076-00 Will Fields - Bath County - 2002-2015 047-023-02 Burchell Stallard - Big Stone Gap - 1951-1958 239-196-04 Dave Crist - Blacksburg - 1975-2014 048-079-00 Harris Hart - Bland County - 2004-2016 081-022-00 Jeff Woody - Brookville - 2005-2012 078-079-13 Tommy Thompson - Hillsville/Carroll County - 1957-1973; 078-081-00 Tom Hale - Carroll County - 1999-2013 048-046-00 David Scammell - Castlewood - 2004-2012 113-079-09 Charles Hammes - Cave Spring - 1966-1985 084-047-00 Larry Russell - Chilhowie - 2001-2012 097-068-00 Tim Cromer - Christiansburg - 2002-2016 266-090-15 Ralph Cummins - Clintwood - 1953-1987 108-037-00 Rick Mullins - Clintwood - 2003-2014 089-080-00 Carl Richards - Coeburn - 1985-2000 155-111-04 Francis "Boodie" Albert - Covington - 1942, 1946-1973 113-064-01 John Woodzell - Covington - 1981-1996 029-064-00 Mark McPherson - Craig County - 2004-2012 174-086-11 Vince Bradford - E.

Thank You for the information.

What years did Roger Austin coach Appalachia. Was he the coach at end? If not who else coached Appalachia? You would think this would be on the internet but I am having trouble. I am trying to make sure I have the right coach for Appalachia for 2006-2010.

I would think all ten teams listed would be favored to beat Galax if they played now.

Yes and they were both better players than Cole.

Bluefield was 0-3 in 2008. Made it to the second round of the playoffs and Will Cole won the award for the best player in the state. Funny because he wasn't even the best player on the team. 2008 games 23-25 Graham 13-15 Princeton 14-35 Charlotte Country Day School 51-12 Oak Hill 40-07 Robert C. Byrd 35-14 Richlands 47-08 Mount View 41-00 Scott 34-21 James Monroe 21-29 South Charleston (AAA state champion) 39-14 Scott 35-41 Wayne

1990 Team won one game. Beat Princeton 7-0 on a TD pass in the rain at Mitchell Stadium. The 1993 team, although much more competitive than the 1990 team, wen 0-10. 1993 was the last year in AAA for Bluefield. 1990 Bluefield games. 00-17 Graham 09-29 Greenbrier East 07-28 Logan 08-12 George Washington 15-22 Woodrow Wilson 00-21 Mount View 07-00 Princeton 08-29 Parkersburg 00-32 East Bank 07-26 North Marion 1993 Bluefield games 14-24 Graham 21-42 Tennessee High 06-21 Greenbrier East 07-56 Pulaski County 17-20 Barboursville 31-32 Woodrow Wilson 10-31 Mount View 13-21 Princeton 07-41 Milton 07-48 Sullivan South Interesting enough in 1991 and 1992 Bluefield made the AAA playoffs.

Question about Dan River. Do they only have 9 games? Bartlett Yancey, NC is listed September 2 but the NC school doesn't list Dan River. I cannot find a score so it appears there was no game. VHSL still hasn't listed week 2 scores. Does anyone know about this game?

I think that the last time I saw it was when it was called on the Fridge of the Bears in the Superbowl.

Here is why Graham lost and Richlands won. 1) When the early whistle on the fumble happened Graham cried about it, pouted and argued. Richlands saw this and went right for the throat with the TD pass on the next play to Howie. 2) Richlands kept getting the ball to their best athletes, Graham didn't. Cousin may have had 10 carries. 3) Richlands made adjustments at half, Graham didn't.

This is totally fiction. Number 29 for Graham hit him high and hit him hard before the whistle. Only call could have been launching if there is one in high school. Otherwise it was clean.

This was a good call. Clearly aiding the runner. Clearly not called enough so I give the official props for making this call. It was the right call and it took guts.

I was there and the official blew his whistle ending the play. Clearly it was a mistake to blow the ball dead but once that is done, right or wrong, the play is over.

In WV there are only 3OT periods. If tied after the third OT the game is a tie. So some go for two to avoid a tie.
