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.

We must do something about that.....

Once the transfer portal closes, you have an open competition at QB. You should know your starter after the Blue-White Spring Game.

I was hoping at least one coach, a DC perhaps, might come back. Haha 

Floyd. 
 
and are we counting BMS in this or just BHS?

Congrats to new Richlands Head Coach Ronnie Davis. Best wishes in turning it around for the Blues. I'm sure Coach Davis is excited about the opportunity and ready to get busy. Also, a humble and grateful thank you to former coach Tarter for years and years of service to your community. America could use a whole lot more just like you. Good luck to all Blues fans, players, and alums in the transition and new beginning.

Hmm there could be worse options…

I saw one of the Keene boys officiating some games in Roanoke a year or so ago, so he's at least been around the game for a while.

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.

Galax, Mount Airy and Radford all brought back state championships. Three high schools within a ~50 mile radius. 
Pretty impressive!

WHO IS THE SECOND BEST TEAM IN 2A?
 
FACTORS CONSIDERED ***
--Marion scored 22 points on Va High, while Graham scored only 20
--Marion scored 40 points against Lebanon in game shortened for weather at 4:20 in the 3Q. A proportional calculation results in Marion scoring 60 points on the Pioneers over 4 quarters, while Graham scored only 59.
--Radford defeats both Graham and Riverheads 
 
CONCLUSIONS:
Marion>Graham
Radford>Graham
Radford>Riverheads
Therefore, Radford and Marion>Graham and Riverheads
 
SECOND BEST TEAM IN 2A: Marion Scarlet Hurricanes
 
***Any other factors that contradict this assertion, I have personally deemed irrelevant or inconsequential including head-to-head, outcomes of common opponents, W-L records, margin of victory, strength of schedule, computer rankings, and common sense.
 
 
 
 

Like the Union name, but the Bears? Should've been more creative than that. I have to say that I don't actually hate any of the high schools though. Even though our grandson recently played for Dobyns-Bennett, their fans can be a little overbearing when it comes to talking about their record over the years and all of their state "championships" none of which were won under a playoff format. They also used to talk about their dominance over Science Hill, but not that the tables have turned, they make fun of it being Science Hill's Super Bowl.  I also took a little smug satisfaction with Vero Beach and their band of mercenaries failing to advance past the 2nd round this year. They reeled in 7 John Carroll (here in Fort Pierce) starters, including 2 four star players, and turning Carroll from a state title contender in their division to a team that failed to make the playoffs. Vero also had 7 other transfers from other teams, giving them 14 starters who weren't in the program before. Did that cause a rift with the other players? I'll go out on a limb and say yes. 

Please have a kind thought for Essex head coach Todd Jones and his family. A family member had a medical emergency during the game and passed away. 

He’s only a freshman!!!

Nobody likes graham.
 
& they don’t care 
 
& if don’t believe them they’ll make a t-shirt that says that to show you how much they don’t care 😂

What I really want to know is who is the fourth best team 

I wanna try.
Riverheads scored 21 against Radford compared to Graham's 10, therefore Riverheads is better than Graham.
Am I doing it correctly?

All this “so and so could be 2nd best” is folly. 
 
At the end of the day it doesn’t matter. Radford won and that’s the only relevant point. 

Someone had to call out you rumor-mongers 😂

Creasy played against Greg Mance his senior year

Non-district scheduling is something that generally gets agreed upon a few years in advance. Those Giles, Fort Chiswell and Grundy matchups would have looked very different 4 to 6 years ago when the conversations likely began for these series. 
But please, keep showing us just how little you actually know about the process. Which is sad for someone that is supposed to be a coach. 

Creasy tied for offensive POY with Edwards. The tiebreaker goes to the one that advances further in the postseason.
