SXSW

I missed an apostrophe on the 2010..should have been 2010"s...no disrespect to the 2014 squad, who by the way should have at least tied that game in the 4th quarter, QB had two receivers open one at the post and one in the right corner of the endzone and threw into double coverage in the left end. That was the Caleb Herron lead team...like I posted above here's to better days! 

My hope as a long time GC alum and fan is that they are respectable again in the next couple of years. The run of talent from the early 90's to the till 2010 was amazing, but lack of interest (from both students and supporters) is just flat scary! Coach Houseright has his work cut out for him! GC is a basketball school now (that happens when you have the leading scorer in VHSL history come through and a future Hall of Fame Coach calling the shots. It is a shame to watch the demise of a true blue blooded program but things change and I am sure the haters are somewhere celebrating but what goes around comes around. Here's to better days and I hope I get to see them!

I got NFHS back when basketball started to watch Richlands away games before the Tazewell County schools got their own cameras. 
 
I just put the game on my TV and then turned WGTH on with my phone and synced it up. 
 
Id rather be there... but this wasn’t a horrible alternative. 

The New People's Bank parking lot overlooking Legion Field will be prime real estate, as well as the Rocks behind the stadium...but it looks like I will just bite the bullet and pay a subscription to the NHFS and just watch from home!
 

Times were different.  Not better, as is being argued, but different.  In most ways, objectively worse...but different.

I just wanted to give a shout out to Prince Kollie. The Davy Crockett senior won the Butkus Award for the best linebacker in high school football, he tallied 109 tackles on defense and ran for 1,562 yards and 26 TD's on offence. Kollie also won the 5A Mr. Football Award given by the Tennessee Titans. Congratulations to a great local product and Notre Dame signee, I will enjoy watching him for the next few years on NBC..

Praying for Coach Smith. 

Another excellent article by Tim Hayes...

Buck Van Huss had a phenomenal career but never won nothing on a state level....speaking of checking the facts! When someone posts any topic on any sport someone from Powell Valley always comes on here and claims that the discussion begins and ends in Big Stone Gap. These people are then shocked to find out there are other people outside of BSG that actually play sports and by how many other people are better than they are!

Considering that the all-time VHSL leader has just a shade over 2700, and you insinuate that at least 4 players from one school would eclipse that mark, I have to ask: “Where are you getting your liquor?!”

The Akers thread is an all-timer!  Any thread that covers Gate City football, Mac McClung, Gerald Sensenbaugh, Billy Wagner, Election day 2018, Mike Myers, CPR, Kevin Saunders, Luke Lawson, JJ Kelly, Hard on's, Philly Cheesesteaks, Garden hoses, Palm readers, and Sparky Anderson needs to be retired to the National Message Board Hall of Fame.

Hijacking a thread is the national pastime here...some of best threads in the history of this board are the ones that get taken over by some random comment. You just gotta learn to get over it..

I have seen in person twice and he is legit, I have seen him on TV but you can't watch the way he moves fully on TV you have to watch in person!
 

Not in SW Va. but Prince Kollie from Davy Crockett in Jonesborough committed to Notre Dame over the weekend, he plays linebacker and running back.

The following quote surprised me:
“I am not coaching football at Richlands simply because I do not agree with [Wells’] philosophy as a football coach,” Davis said. 
 

Their assistant recruiting coordinator played at ODU.  Possibly has more connections to this area because of it.

Every year I get older and the cold hurts a little more

Yep..Tennessee High is average at best with not too many athletes. Bluefield has elite talent and one thing Tennessee High hasn't seen in years speed!

Bluefield names it's score versus Tennessee High!

It just could end up like NCAA schools used to claim those "mythical" national titles, as long as a school was number 1 in any one of the three polls, you were a national champion! It also worked for Dobyns Bennett they claim a bunch of those state titles.
