    Good teams worry about train horns.  Great teams worry about their December plans.

    Same for Tony Palmer.  He's not winning like he should be.  In those 13 wins, those scores should have been a lot worse.  Time to get him out of there and get in somebody that knows what their doing!!  Oh yea, Doug Smith at Appo, he should have been fired for not winning that title in 2018.  No excuse for not having more titles.  I don't know why Appo keeps him.

    Not Appo's first rodeo at traveling and staying overnight, we have done it both times we have played at BSG. Usually most of the parents go with the team so an eye is kept on all of them very well.

    I've heard others say the same thing, and it would be good for the kids to have him back.  IMO there needs to be some changes in those around him, as in assistants, but Tarter is well repected and a good motivator for the program.  I think a lot of the Richlands fans have gotten spoiled over the years with their winning record, my self included, but I also understand that being a ture fan means sticking with the team through the lean years as well as the good years.  I think the program for the next few years will be competetive, but as talent seems to travel in cycles, it may be a while before we see a team in Richlands like those during the Mance years.  High School football is just fun to watch, and I came to the conclusion a long time ago that winning is good, but its not everything.  So I guess us Blues fans will just have to wait until next year to see what truly happens and if any of the rumors have any clout to them.

    I say that I have the utmost respect for Dr Falwell.  He was such a people person and his love for the kids of that university was evident to anyone who crossed paths with him.  He would routinely been seen with the kids, whether it was at sporting events, chapel, or just driving up the roads on campus swerving hi big SUV at the blowing that loud horn.  you could see he belly laughing when he knew he startled you good.  I've been on the receiving end of good punch in the side only to turn around to see him blaming his wife for hitting me.  He was a man of faith who stuck his neck out to try to accomplish what he felt the Lord had called him to do.  Most people who ever met him knew he wasn't what the media tried to paint him to be.

    Money talks and LCA has it. They let the VHSL know they would tie them up in court until they had put them into bankruptcy is the simple truth of it. Since they are a private institution they can hold info back preventing anyone of showing positive proof of allegations which would jepardize their eligibility under the VHSL rules unlike a public school. Proof of my above statement just look at what is happening with the current lawsuits against LU for their handling of rape and discrimination. LU will win those suits with non disclosure settlements before it's over to keep everything possible out of the public eye further tarnishing their reputation. Sure LU and LCA are two different animals on paper but are they really?

    While I stand whole heartedly behind what this school stands for I do feel it’s an injustice they way they do their sports. Fully support a partner wanting send their kid there for a Christian education but when a lot of these kids are god athletes is when it starts to get fishy to me.
    I could go into more but don’t feel like starting my morning off like that. Lol

    Well the bad luck for SWVA has to end at some point.  
    Someone above said it right when they said this Appo team ain’t what the other teams were and surely ain’t what the 15,16 team was. Out of all 5 teams, this team ain’t them. They are good obviously, but we will see just how good. 
    They will come to Bluefield ready play and Coach Smith will have them well prepared. If Graham is looking past them Bluefield won’t be a happy town come Saturday night.

    A very long two weeks, we buried a fellow officer, a killer put in jail , Union gets sent home , and Biden is still President. Just wanted to say thank you all who sent PM to me and our dept. Life kinda kicks you in the sack and teaches you what is important. Thanks again gents , I have really enjoyed this year, and GMEN you are a class act for what you did for Michael Chandler -512-

    Maybe they just want starters to get more reps & fine tune areas that need it…I’m no coach so maybe my take on leaving them in is all wrong. Maybe it’s common practice and Turner and Palmer are just different from other coaches. I’m not saying coaches that starters in even in a blowout are bad, it’s I just observe Turner not doing it after many others did.
