Richlands stomped Hurley in 7 on 7 at Ernie Hicks, shouldn't that push them up further up the list?

In the meantime our illustrious school board hints at closing the vocational center. The monkeys really are running the circus.

Tazewell vs George Wythe back in mid 80s @ GW. Frigid & snowing...that's back when you had really accomplished a lot more to make it state before VHSL became such a money racket. Graham/Beaver games , 2017 was definitely memorable. Looking for G-Men victory this year.

Richlands vs Graham and Beaver vs Graham. Interested to see what the addition of former Richlands defensive coordinator brings to the table for G-Men. Moir at quarterback definitely bodes well for Richlands though.

Absolutely worst mistake, your post is on point!!! We actually need vocational training beginning earlier than 11th grade. Middle school would be ideal.

Heard Springville was going to be used for either school board or county offices. I agree, would have made more sense to close Dudley and use Springville building. It's much nicer and room to expand.

Agree, Dudley won't be but North Tazewell most likely and sadly Voc.

My sentiments also...

Interesting synopsis, thanks for sharing. The school board wants to point fingers at supervisors but most of the board members have held their posts for several years. The truth is they are not forward thinkers, not planners, not creative thinkers. I know for a fact a lot of hardback textbooks used in high school are available digitally, some even free from the state. Yet, we keep forking out money on the obsolete. They are all basically good stand up people but most are clueless.

Graham may not have to play home games at Tazewell after all which is a good thing for the Graham/Beaver game at least.

This school board is becoming experts at making messes!

Yeah, if we can't find 3 million to help school system keep operating at status quo & pay coaches, athletic directors, etc. I doubt TCSB will find anywhere near the funds to even build one school much less two. One word, MESS!

It's a sad state of affairs if the current slate of school board members pass this with the budget.

I'm at a loss as to the idiocy of this school board.

Bravo, Tazewell County School Board! You've mismanaged our county into this problem and now the kids and adults who already end up in red if you count their hours compared to the supplement will suffer. Why don't you look at administrative, central office, & school board salaries? Shameful is the best word I can think of right now. Before anyone says drop in enrollment is the cause, most counties in SWVA are experiencing this but I haven't seen middle school sports cut or coaching supplements eliminated. TCSB members need voted out, period! Stepping down from my soap box.

Definitely agree QB switch isxa great decision! What teams did they play at UVA-Wise? Top caliber?

Richlands being known as a defensive powerhouse since 90s , makes me hopeful for what he can bring to the table as far as defense for GMen. The defensive line last year was weak a lot of the time, maybe he can help shore up that area. I'm taking for granted he's helping with defense. Should be an interesting match up this year with Blues & GMen. Looking forward to a great game.

Heard Graham also picked up the former Richlands Defensive Coordinator.

Technically, Graham got a player back that should rightly be at Graham rather than picking up a Richlands boy, lol.

Heard Mance has replaced Brown as quarterback with Moir permanently, not sure if it's true or just speculation but I think after last season, it's a smart move if he did.

Which schools are already signed up?

I believe she would have been fine considering she's played travel ball for years and many back to back games. They could have forfeited and let all the girls rest.

I don't disagree with your points. My opinion only , which counts for very little but Richlands isn't the caliber that they used to be but they may recruit some talent from Hurley, Honaker, or maybe there's another Johnson coming out of WV. I say they have a decent season but yes, depth is lacking in region in many sports not just football. I'm actually not hearing anything but some people are more than willing to take the bait. All in good fun.

Congratulations, Jayden!!!

I'm hearing bad.
