Sometimes coaching decisions & play calling confuse us bleacher warmers but definitely need to make adjustments.

Very frustrating...We've got to make major adjustments 2nd half or we're looking at a blowout.I know I'll get slammed for this but in big games having at least prove one veteran coach on staff can come in handy. Tony's done a good job but big games sometimes need "experience".

Union is proving the toughest team we've faced this year in my opinion. Hoping less mistakes 2nd half and more capitalizing on opportunities.

Agreed

Y'all definitely need a bigger stadium ?

Kudos to Palmer for sticking it out with Allen when he was criticized early on , Cam Allen has just gotten better all season. Union does worry me. If their offense controls ball and our defense is out there a majority of time like the regular season game Union had with Richlands, it won't be good for us.

Part of the argument was a dad coaching his own son & giving preferential treatment ; how does Moir solve this ???? By hiring a another dad who gives his son preferential treatment. Jody Fuller is a stand up guy and did not deserve the underhanded way all that went down. School board politics, gotta love it!

Turned out as I expected, proud of the GMen! Union won't be an easy win! Hoping they can pull it off though!

Exactly how many Richlands' players have gone to D1 schools to play football? I'd like to know the % ? Actually, how many go to D2 schools to play? Curious is all.

I would never make fun of God , period. God doesn't care who wins a football game. Anyone that believes that He does is ignorant of His word. Generally speaking, there are people who throw God's name around for show and do not actually walk the walk but gladly talk the talk and people that know them and God's word realize that. Those kind of people poison Christianity and turn people away from God and church. Please do not read into this that I'm pointing fingers or calling someone out. I noted, "generally speaking". This entire thread was meant in good fun obviously. Your perceptions are your own.

Unfortunately, with school board politics, teams and players suffer. Retired school teachers don't always make the best school board members, too much "buddy" and "good ole boy" mentality generally speaking. A couple whiny players and vindictive parents hold more power than a great coach supportive administratior, parents, & players which is wrong. Tazewell County is one of the worst for this. The superintendent debacle make Tazewell County look foolish and wasteful!

The more pressing question is will Mance really retire? Oh wait, it's probably in God's hands.

I would be surprised if Grayson comes close to beating Graham but I'm biased.

Union , no question. I lookfor it to be close but think Union takes it.

Graham by at least two TDs. Looked good today; Grayson got lucky with that turnover at end with Ridgeview.

Going great at Mitchell Stadium this afternoon!

Nobody said they wouldn't be fine, I predicted they would win today by 4+ TDs and so far so good. If they meet Appo down the road, yes, I'm worried.

Some people need to lighten up , I realize sometimes humor is hard to detect via typed message.

A "down year" , how many 7 loss seasons has Richlands had? I dare say not many if any the past 30 years. He better start the lockeroom tours, finding housing, & making promises of scholarships now in prep for next year.

Call a spade, a spade..."a transfer or 2" ?? Richlands has a better "recruiting" system than some colleges. If I'm not mistaken, the only championship they won under Mance was year they didn't have recruits from other schools. I'm sure somebody will correct me if I'm wrong.

"Receiving" code word for recruiting? ? Everyone knows Mance recruits & if it was provable that he's violated VHSL rules, he'd be gone. Didn't I read in one of these threads they tried to get the kid from Bluefield , Collier, to come play for them?

Absolutely, spot on...if I recall correctly , in 2015 offense let Appo score on first play. I dare say Mance has cost them more state championships than they've won. Defense has always been Richlands' strength even before Mance was head coach that why it puzzled me when he let Palmer go.

You're correct! My bad

The most undisciplined team & coach lost. Richlands used to be much more disciplined than what I've seen this year. Mance panics & it's most evident in playoffs every year.

Even if they run it all the way to Salem, Appo will win hands down. It will probably be a thrashing like Richlands got last year although I'm hoping it's Graham running it all the way down to Salem.
