There are lots of places in Virginia that feel sorry. All of the homes not in Lynchburg where the LCA players reside!

All the SW District schools Graham regularly competed against through the years were at least legitimately 3A. I don't think Graham had to compete at that level but I think they enjoyed the challenge. I remember talking to Principal Gary Williams when Graham went to the Mountain Empire and he said it was for the other sports. I remember him saying that it just didn't make sense for the other sports to be competing against the Cave Spring's of the world. I was at his house getting old clippings of his father who was a first-team all State end at Bluefield High in 1948 (when there were only 11 players chosen) and we had an interesting conversation.

You have no idea how much it costs to maintain a high school quality football stadium. Insurance, electricity, water, security, repairs, garbage collection, maintenance, extra pay for the people doing these things. Try doing that for under 50k. You can't. Plus you have to build the thing for a couple million and pay off those debts. The only complaint I have is the rest rooms are terrible. Need to work on that. There is a reason that every time any of the four schools renting the stadium start talking about building their own it stops pretty quick. They run the numbers and it just doesn't add up.

I understand the macho thing and kicking to him the first time. But the second time.....SMH

VHSL site says so too. https://www.vhsl.org/football/
 

That never happened. I asked the Graham band not to play when Graham had the ball but I have never said anything to any visiting band except to announce them before the game or at half time.

As someone that had to endure Graham/Appo I, I will add this.  Graham needs to control the field position game and keep Appo on a long field.  The running game is hard enough to stop but it’s even worse when you have to stop it 4 times instead of 3.  

Are we talking about the waitresses or the food??

Generally one of the worst things you can do for a successful organization is to replace yourself with your son. There are exceptions but it usually does not work out well.

The Food City Deli in Bluefield is better than just about anything in town except that little Italian place downtown close to the railroad yard, Applebee's! I guess the Wendy's drive thru line was too long!

A brawl at Applebee's in Bluefield, VA?  It was probably Union and Graham fans getting together and fighting with the Applebee's cooks.  Sorry Graham fans, but you have a first class shi*hole for an Applebee's up that way.  I'm serious about this, it's the most God awful Applebee's (hands down, by a lot) that I've ever been to.  

Some states let private schools compete. Some don't. Personally I think that they have no business competing in public school leagues. Apples and Oranges as far as rules go for enrollment. However I do like private schools and if I had the money and the opportunity I would seriously consider putting my child in private school.

That is what they told me to announce. 

So. I have several legal financial arrangements set up to pay less or no taxes. Nothing corrupt about that.
