They seemed to have missed the bag that was not clear. I bet it wasn't even searched properly.

It was initially done one of the many Covid protocols, At least in the SWD. (Don't ask me why, bc I still don't understand the reasoning). It is beyond time to change up the schedule dates and times. Also, IMO, Saturdays should be set aside as at least a makeup date for when games are cancelled. I lost count of all then times a baseball/softball game was rained out by the evening with Saturday afternoon being perfect weather and no makeup game.

Very easily could play at both. Multiple teams share stadiums. Key word is could. Snowflakes chance in Hades they would actually play at THS or RHS (even though it would save the county money). Tazewell would most likely need a turf field to accommodate all the extra games before then. But Graham will probably drop to Class 1, or even consolidate, before they ever get their home stadium, even though they have a perfect setup right at the high school. Just need bleachers and some updated equipment. That field is already better than most grass fields in SWVA.

Most popular sport in Tazewell

Be a lot cooler if he was

The Beast Mode run by Truck Edwards made ESPN Sportsnation. “Ever been as determined as this dude” was the title. That run deserved that recognition.

Yes Regional Champs that year. My senior year

That's when baseball took over. Thanks Lou Perry. Singlehandedly killed football

What nobody realizes is they need Tazewell to get better. And I stress need. Give them patience and it will work out. Do we really need doormat teams in our dwindling area? We need contenders. You want these games to be competitive. We want support from communities. We want 5,000 watching every game. I played and won at Tazewell. We are on the right track.

So anybody heard anything more?

Then state the name. I knew exactly who you were talking about earlier, just don't understand the secrecy. It's annoying.

Who? Or is it against your nature to say a name. Bc I consistently see your post do nothing beat beat around the bush. And to be frank, particularly to those that are actually interested in this topic, speak clearly or not at all.

Congrats on the good season. Already looking forward to next year. I would be honored to be on that coaching staff an learn from the great minds like Mance. Would help me tremendously in future endeavors.

And Abingdon's and Virginia High's playing fields were always really unique to me playing there late in the season when the Bermuda has turned tan away from green and they striped the field in black. Tazewell wants black in everything anyway, except for old school purist.

Played on Tazewell's field. It truly was a great field when it was football only. The soccer teams played at Lincolnshire park, now on the football field. I know that the dry weather has really hampered it this season. It is just overused. I know there were rumors and even plans to install Bermuda grass which is why the track was taken up. Now that we have this new fieldhouse and addressed the bathroom and concession issue, we are moving onto seating. Only field I know where visitor seating is better even being smaller. Suppose to replace the wooden bleachers. Then we should move onto a field. Mitchell stadium is in garbage shape. Richlands and Honaker's Emats fields are absolutely beautiful to see, play, and coach.

Any potential names?

This I appreciate. I went to Tazewell and we have always had this stereotype. My education was second to none. Sometimes it isn't always about what happens on Friday night. Yes football is a religion here with the highest population of it denomination but there are other things to life. Our baseball and softball teams compete and compete well. Soccer has picked up. Academic team and forensics place in state. All of the bashing is ridiculous. It's like we are the Cubs pre 2016. What would help is if we get back on track. 3 competitive teams in one county would be amazing just like the old days. Forget the coaching revolving door. Wyatt was a good coach and left bc of parent involvement ( our kryptonite). Smith didn't want to be here nor did we want him, but it was June or July and we needed a coach. He couldn't have cared less and I hate him as the VHigh coach when we rocked them for a region championship and wanted to ruin any bit of celebration we had. Tate couldn't control himself, keeping it G rated for the Christian folk. Allen is a good man and made his mistakes along the way. He will learn from it, Just like our community should. Let the coach do his job, including discipline. Uncoachable kids become unemployable adults. Let's someone else be hard on your kids for once. You can't save them in the real world.

Most certainly agree with this statement. I know the basketball team is going to be great but they won't be able to get going so soon bc this team should be playing in December. I can see them winning it all. I know they would like to match up with Richlands again. I know they wouldn't stop until the scoreboard hit 70 this time. I know if they play again, I will break out the cold gear and head up to watch the game.

Former head coach at Tazewell? Or just head coach of another team? Either way, we could benefit.

Haha good one. I would have let him plaster his face at the 50 yard line and named the field whatever he wanted. Guess we will stick with the Unofficial name of Witten Field. Hey this is how we roll down here.

The guy was Price. I think LJ or something.

As a former player and coach, I'm interested in the facts.

Can you elaborate a little more? The "members" thing and the controversy to ensue. I'm pretty interested in hearing.

Yes the field does need a face lift. It is one of the last natural grass fields, the only grass playing surface servicing a school football team in this county mind you. The dry season really took a number on it. Many different fire departments helped to water the field. Also a lot of other games from middle school and little league. Facilities have been updated and are nice. Now it's time for the field. You think we are bad about running a coach off consistently, ask me or anyone in Tazewell about the guy that wanted to give us a new FieldTurf surface. All he asked was to have it named after him and we balked and ran him off. Just like what happened with the Presidency, we need a clean sweep of top power. I nominate myself to take over and would be glad to head that department.
