  1. A lot of back room shenanigans going concerning the stadium, yes, board of supervisors should be ashamed especially a couple of them in particular. Everything done in the dark eventually comes to light, some Graham folks will be disappointed in a certain person when all is known.
  2. Exactly, the right assistants can make a huge difference in a program. Graham is a perfect example. Palmer has surrounded himself with assistants that know football and get the job done.
  3. Tony Palmer was an assistant at Graham before becoming head coach. Graham was definitely not headed in the right direction before he became head coach. It’s not unheard of for an assistant to take over and turn a program around.I understand your point also. Many promoted assistants have not lifted programs out of the abyss.
  4. Is the Wright guy from Giles? Is he a school employee? I don’t know much about Giles but maybe they didn’t have a long list of candidates & they’re going with the one they know who will stick around.
  5. Graham boys & girls both regular season champions. They will host SWD tournament at East River Soccer Complex next week.
  6. Did he thank Graham? I mean he was recruited by Penn State while still at Graham if I’m not mistaken. 😂 Seriously, wish him all the best on his new adventure up north as a Nittany Lion.
  7. I had heard for a couple months he’d be going to Penn St. early.
  8. One would think. I read Tazewell County Supervisors pulled funding for seating at Graham stadium in the comments under the article. I’m not privy to any verifiable information but if that’s true , pretty shady stuff. Who on Board of Supervisors wouldn’t want Graham’s stadium to come to fruition? Maybe I just like a good conspiracy too, lol!
  9. The problem is it won’t be $62,400 unless they agree to a five year contract. Three years will be $108,000 per year. Surely for $108,000 we could get toilet paper, paper towels, & two working toilets. 😂
  10. Doesn’t Mercer County allow students to graduate in December if they have necessary credits?
  11. I mean if they had the funds, it could be completed possibly. They need bleachers, lighting, pressbox , concession/restroom; they wouldn’t necessarily need a visitors’ locker room since some schools don’t have one. I’m guessing funds are the issue at this point. I was under the impression, they already had plans drawn up. Perhaps , school board just wants a year to year contract until they figure things out but this is just conjecture on my part.
  12. Oh yeah , it’s no secret the GMen could play home games at Tazewell. Won’t that be fun! 😂 The bottomline is the kids are the ones to suffer because of childish adults.
  13. By that, if Bluefield agrees to a one year contract , TCPS can expect to pay $324,000. I’m puzzled if the last contract was for two years, why not offer that again. I’m not really puzzled, it’s tantamount to extortion by Bluefield, WV city government.
  14. Upping the price by nearly $40,000 per year if a five year contract isn’t signed, seems a bit ridiculous to me. TCPS should have built Graham their own stadium years ago. I’d fast track those seats , pressbox & lights if I were TCPS, Tazewell BOS, & Town of Bluefield.
