Found an interesting article in the July 1999 edition of The Bluefield Gazette. Seems Appalachia’s Tom Tuner and Powell Valley’s Phil Robbin we’re invited to Bluefield to be speakers at a high school football coaches clinic. Both coaches fell ill with stomach problems and ended up taking many 💩 in town. And just like that, Wv high school football was born!
Who knew that the fecal matter of two vhsl hall of game coaches was enough to bring life to Wv high school football.
I embrace talk about Va and WV teams on here. Sorry sis.
What is it with you Wv people and name calling. Such grown ups. Embrace what you want. Now days, you can embrace anything you want. I’m guessing talk isn’t all you embrace.
That's great but WV teams in the coverage area are discussed on here and will continue to be whether you like it or not.
Did I ask you to stop? Nope. I just don’t now down to bluefield and worship their football program like some around that way. And you know why. Because VIRGINIA teams are discussed on here too and will continue to be whether you like it our not!
Martinsburg is the "God of WV football" but they aren't in the coverage area. Not sure why it is so hard to grasp for so many on here that the forum focuses on teams in the coverage area. Smh
I could give two cares less about Wv high school football. I get on here to keep up with Virginia teams.
How many Bluefield games you been to Lil dawg? I’ve watched all the top the top teams in this area in person this year besides Pulaski county and like I said, ITS NOT CLOSE.
btw, ask Giles fans how Bluefield “spanked” them last year in their benefit game.
Name calling 🤣. Must have struck a nerve. Wow. Chill. It’s a high school game pal. They are not going to shut down high school football because the beaver dam broke tonight. Union and Appo were superior last year. PERIOD. Look in the mirror with a strait face and tell me any different.
Look. It is what it is. WV football does not have the competition of va. But if your “God of WV football” struggles with Va teams that can’t win their region then how good are they.
In all honsety, it’s like comparing the ‘72 Dolphins to the ‘85 Bear. There is no true way to tell other than opinion and speculation.
They’re not better than LB but still better than every team in our coverage area and it’s not close
A Wv state title is about the same as a Virginia Reguon D title. Last years Appo and Union spank Bluefield. Giles prolly wins too. This year, Bluefield prolly wins against two of the three. God, enough is enough.
Wasn’t a knock. Was complimenting Ethan with the post. Slow down big guy lol. Who am I to question hold backs, my youngest did haha. To each there own. Four in one class is a large amount when you think of it. Still, wasn’t a knock. Was praising Ethan M.
McAmis is out, true frosh Ethan Mullins takes over at QB.
Coalfieldsports.com will have excellent preview up tonight or early tomorrow.
Ethan Mullins held back in 8th grade, along with a large number of other players that year. Non the less, he is extremely fun to watch and quite talented. Not taking anything from him by pointing out that he held back. He’s a good, humble kid.
He's good, he takes all there shots, scores the most points and won them the game tonight, but I wouldn't wanna play on a team with him. I don't see other players getting better around him.
You're telling somebody to me be a man from behind a keyboard. Irony at its finest. 90% of your response isn't even irrelevant to what I said either. Sorry I hurt your feelings though!
You clearly don’t understand the context. I’m guessing your still wet behind the ears. That’s fine. Hurt my feelings? Lol. You were the one coming at me from behind a keyboard. This the, be a man comment. But you’ll figure out adulthood one day. I’ll enjoy being trolled by high schoolers and old guys. You keep trying to talk big young man.
You're the person that said McClung could sit and GC would still walk through the Region D, and now you're saying GC will probably lay the wood to Graham in the rematch. If Graham wins the rematch, man do I feel sorry for you cause the Graham faithful will troll the crap outta you! Lol
Yep. That’s me. After the game, I also posted that I stood corrected and cogratulated graham on their win. That’s what men do. Admit they were wrong. Got no problem with it. I also said Union would beat everyone by two scores in the region D playoffs in football this past season (Richlands almost spoiled the party. Much respect Blue Tornados!) and I heard about it. Didn’t pack up my tent and leave the forum. So what if graham does win. So what if someone, such as yourself, decides to call me out on it. Even after I admit I spoke incorrectly. Is it gonna change my kids birthday? Will my paycheck change? Nope. I’ll congratulate them, again, and cheer them on in the title game. Come one man. We are a bunch of has been a talking about high school sports. Just so happens we have had some special talent concentrated in Southwest Va this year that has brought this place to a fever pitch. That’s great. We need that in an area where some of these kids will come home from practice to find out mom or dad just got laid off. Or they have to move because the mines closed.
In short. If your gonna quote my past post. Quote the whole thing. Don’t try to look good in front of your pals. Be a man. Do three minutes of research. You’ll find all you need to see.
It’s the VHSL. I get that graham plays their football games in WV due to that being their home field. But they are having to pick a site now. This is the Virginia state playoffs. Keep it here in Virginia. Wv has their playoffs. Radford college sold out. Most small colleges will fill up. VT would be cool. Vhsl is too worried about losing a buck. Uva wise held pretty good but favors gc more location wise. Prolly suite gc not to play there again based on their shooting. I look for gc to lay wood to graham this time though. Regardless the winner, I’ll cheer them on in the title game!
I didn’t go. I’m shocked at the outcome. What happened. I’ve saw graham play twice this year. Was not super impressed with them. Have seen gc play plenty. Always sloppy in first qtr then hit their stride. Seems like graham figured out something that worked. Great coaching. Funny on Twitter how a central coach was claiming the real championship game was last night 😂. Anyway, I’m guessing Scotty will make the needed adjustments if a rematch happens. I don’t think an upset happens twice. But for the time being...congrats graham. Go celebrate.
I’ll be the first to correct myself. Graham lates lumger to gc. Congrats. A rematch will be interesting though. But congrats region d champs. Good luck to both down the road.
Is that a serious question? Bluefield is always typically one of the better teams in WV AA. They won state back to back in 2013 and 2014. With the exception of Gate City, basketball in SWVA isn't any better than in Southern WV really. They beat Graham just about every year and they seem to do just fine in VA.
Note the last line. I mentioned I do t now a lot about wva sports. Back to back titles in wva or any state is sweet! Same question. And in fairness, how much of a measuring stick is the swd in hoops. I played baseball and basketball at Appy too. Not what we were known for.
Graham would win if McClung had to sit, and it’s really not debatable.
You do realize that Graham’s only losses of the season are two 1-point losses to Bluefield (just 4 losses on the season itself), a team against whom Graham pretty much has a mental block. You do realize that Graham has defeated teams like Martinsville, who seems to be turning it on in time for the postseason. You do realize that Graham’s margin of victory in its key games (Union) isn’t *that* dissimilar to Gate City’s margin of victory. You do realize that Graham hasn’t given up more than 56 points to a non-Bluefield opponent this calendar year.
All the fawning over Gate City has badly, and unwarrantedly, overshadowed that Graham has a quality team this season that would be a legitimate state title threat in every other season in the last two decades but this one. This board needs to realize, that when Graham and Gate City play for the regional title, that for the first time since the Arby’s Tournament, Gate City is playing a team whose best game is better than their own worst game. I don’t think Graham wins, but this board would unjustifiably have a cataclysmic meltdown if it happened.
With respect, this sounds like the same story we heard in football. How graham was a better match up for appo and would beat Union because we couldn’t handle their speed or cover the pass. We saw how well that went.
Im not trash in graham. They have a couple explosive players, and a solid team. As for Bluefield. Let’s be honest, if they had to compete in Va, would they be that good? Honest question because I don’t know much about wva teams.
And if they win, I’ll pull for em down the road. But gc has three d1 recruits. Graham may have trouble with central. They like to run and press a lot. That’ll be a good game. Gc lost one senior from last season. They lost to eventual champ in ot. These guys have played highly competitive aau in the off season. If they don’t win, I’ll be shocked. But that’s why you play the games right. I hope to see the gc vs graham game. It’ll be fun.
