Carter will get the start at QB for Tazewell, Mullins may play slot some but will primarily be defense. For QB, this is where experience needs to take over, especially with the schedule this year. The test will come with a young Carter. The line lost a lot of experience, but could still possibly hold their own. I think Tazewell will be competitive but will struggle against the well coached teams.
Young as age or young as in grade? I know last year they had several college freshman on their team, meaning hold backs. Can’t call them young because they are in 9 or 10th. Graham last year played with a lot of true 10th and 11th graders but they didn’t fuss about being young! Just saying.
I believe only one kid that has held back is out there. These are truly young kids, real 10-11th graders. When I say young I’m saying the 14-15 yr olds like @Real Sasquatch mentioned.
I haven’t heard of any 7 on 7s but the one mentioned above at Honaker. Where are some of the ones taking place & who’s going? I know In the past Richlands has hosted one.
I only know of a few that's scheduled, nothing definite of course. For June Tazewell will host Bland and possibly two other teams, July has two in Galax.
No offense to anybody, but who goes into a game with the mindset that it doesn't count? Every game counts, Thats exactly how Graham approached the first game. Again, I understand some of the frustration, but you have to win the games put in front of you and make no excuses when you lose, like "it doesn't count".
In my Herm Edwards voice, “you play to win the game”! It’s all good.
Meant a lot to these kids and program. Beating a team that has had the upper hand for that long of time is a great accomplishment. Let these kids, coaches and parents enjoy it. I see no issues taking time out to show support and letting all of the people involved be a part of a parade, big deal if it’s after the third game. They’ll remember this.
Graham started yesterday. Not sure about Tazewell, Richlands is tomorrow I believe. Hope things work out for all the boys to get in at least an abbreviated season.
Tazewell started today, kids excited to get it going.
Week 10 updates.

I don’t think it’s the kicker, it’s the blocking.
