Mountain Football

^^^^^happens way too much. Certain kids receive a whole lot of hype but when you go back and watch the film it speaks for itself. Film doesn't lie. When you can't take on a half way decent kid 1v1 much less get obliterated and you are still seen as the second coming of Reggie White because of who you are its a problem. 

Merry Christmas!!

We did it folks! 

 

Now is the official presser going to be at Emory or.....

Much like Tech is trying to regain the Tidewater area. I think it's only fitting for the presser to be held in McDowell County. It's time for Richlands to get back to their roots and retake their stake of that area.

Surprisingly this one has stayed pretty much on the original topic as well.

Floyd. 
 

and are we counting BMS in this or just BHS?

Yep forgot about him. 

Graham's recent transfers have been Mt.View/Princeton right? Other than the kid who played on the o-line this year am I missing a transfer from Bluefield?

Former player with Emory Ties.....Thad Wells fits that bill lol

Also: Cain Ringstaff, Caleb Jennings, Jeremy Keene, Josh Keene, I'm sure their are others but those just came to my head.

Can them Keene boys coach? Maybe the old man can but I'm not sure them boys can😂

Shane Allen ok maybe but how in the world does Doug Marrs do that???

Marrs is the D coordinator at Reidsville. 

Congratulations Bobcats!

According to Tazewell Bulldog Radio Network, Creasy had 3,373 passing yards and 37 TDs. I'm not sure on Edwards stats.

Anybody ever ponder the question about Crist in that.....

We thought it was all Crist, but maybe it wasn't Crist after all. Maybe it was just Virginia High because the place has been pretty much unwinnable for decades, regardless of who the coach is.  For those who haven't pondered this question, it might be time to start giving it some consideration.

I thought about that very thing as I was eating crow for breakfast this morning.

9 out of 10 times I’d say Graham wins but they were just the better team today. Hats off to them on a well played game. 

I think Graham could definitely beat Radford had they played better but 9 out of 10? I don't see that. I think we questioned Radford after their close wins over Appo and Glenvar. In reality beating Appo was a huge mental hurdle for them. For many years Crist has been on the receiving end of verbal beat downs on here. Instead of wanting our Frosty's from Wendy's we need some A1 sauce or BBQ sauce to put on our crow.😂 Granted he has a stellar QB but what team at this point in the season doesn't have an outstanding player or two?

I know a lot of posters on here were never really sold on them. I knew they were legit when they throttled Va High and Graham only beat them by a score and I knew when they throttled a very good Allegheny team. I guess they logic was Crist would blow it like he has before.

Can this board handle Crist in the championship?😂

We’re an hour away from a lake lol. I’m not sure I’d call it “big.” But it’s a lake. 😂

Lake Witten isn't an hour from Richlands is it?

Yelp, you're probably right. The biggest suprise would be if TCSB would actually make a meanigful, well thought-out  decision. They could always do away with Football and just plant more pine trees behind the high school and then bus anyone who wanted to play football to Tazewell.  That way TCSB wouldn't have to worry about the Richlands High football program.  I probably shouldn't post this, it may give them the ideal, causing a delay in hiring a new HC as they  consider the probability of moonlight through the pines. 

They wouldn't allow the planting of pine trees either. Shovels and/or heavy equipment on school property would likely make too much noise.

I agree somewhat. The line likely improved. However, I also believe the health of Clements makes the O line look better. The line doesn’t have to hold blocks as long, and the rewards of opening the holes (no matter how small/brief) pays greater dividends.

That is correct. This isn't a knock toward any kid on Graham's O line but Clements would make me look like a stellar left tackle. A crease is all he needs. 

Graham is playing their best ball right now. Steady improvement as the season has progressed. A lot has been said about Clements and rightfully so but the O line has improved considerably. This game should be a fun one to watch.

Whining about the refs 3 days after a win is not a good look. That's something Ridgeview would do. 😂

There are so many things this is evident with them on.  I don't think the school board has any fans from any of the three schools from what I know.  The superintendent does what he wants regardless of what anyone suggests to him but yet he has no spine to stand and make a firm decision either way.  Still trying to figure out how that works 

The fact you just called the superintendent of TCPS spineless on here makes my day. This may possibly be the best of the year.😂😂

I don't see D. Palmer leaving either. From the outside looking in the Graham staff gets along very well. They all seem to enjoy working together and helping the kids. I may be totally wrong but brother or no brother I think he stays at Graham. 

Can we get a score?

I have often times been a critic of Tazewell not playing with energy or having a bad mindset. This Tazewell team turned a corner in my opinion this year. They may not have beaten a great team but they never gave up like years past. If they can continue to build off what this team has started it'll a big step in the right direction. The talent is there.

We are all entitled to our WRONG opinions on the broadcasting side. Mayor of Raven in the booth and on Pigskin Pigs is always the right call, but the headphones as a coach... Makes ya wonder!

How could they go wrong picking anybody from Raven and/or Jewell Ridge? That's the heart and soul of Richlands football. Well I guess Big Creek too but that's beside the point.

Just mentioning Creasy's name seems to get people fired up. Regardless of everyone's opinions on his QB abilities, Carter is a great young man that will be an asset to our area as an adult. I've seen on here a few times where people question his toughness. I can tell you he's one tough kid. He's been through to be so young on and off the field.
