Honestly, last night proved Palmer could benefit from a veteran seasoned knowledgeable student of the game kind of coach on his staff, one that's proven. Unless he can find one, when the talent dwindles so do the wins just my humble opinion.

I hate to say it but tonight proved Graham needs some more seasoned knowledgeable coaching help. Way too many mistakes and bad play calls that shouldn't happen. Taking nothing away from them for the win, sometimes a team wins in spite of themselves. Vineyard was amazing for them! Kicker for Richlands doubling amazing.

#6 mom is school board member who likes to get rid of coaches , Mance could be next. What's the saying? School boards and parents ruin sports. Mance is in a no win politically, pressure from Browns, most likely pressure from Moirs, both being his boss so to speak and both being parents/grandparents.

No matter which team wins Blues & GMen both played horrible tonight. Neither will make it far in playoffs if this how they play when it comes that time.

Graham turnovers, geez! Let's hope it's more interesting this half! Both teams looking bad to be truthful. It pains me to say that as GMen fan.

Bearded Moose is great! Graham making too many stupid mistakes. Richlands in there heads, better shake it off 2nd half.

During which quarter do you predict Mance loses it and says screw this and takes out a ref? ?

I definitely agree with your analysis of the Graham and Bluefield game & the Bluefield and Richlands game. I attended both games as well.

Loose lips sink ships no matter where the street is located. The kid may not be penalized at all for missing. As I said, guess we'll see tonight.

You truly believe the spread will be that big when they're playing at Ernie Hicks? GMen gave up 21 point lead last year at home. I'm hoping you're right , don't get me wrong. Blues are always tougher at home.

Word on street is that he skipped practice to go hunting & is supposed to be benched ; guess we'll see

Going to be hard to score a lot with Horn benched.

I agree. They have made great improvements.

If maturity and discipline are factors, Palmer wins hands down. ?

I'm going to be there with the video camera ? Just kidding but I will be there & unless there's some better play calling & use of clock, I don't see Richlands winning.

Agree about 2015, probably cost Blues more than that state championship. I'd say they should have won a couple more except for the offense not being able to get those first downs.

No qualms here, sometimes a coach has to man up and realize the loss is on him. What do they say, "Pride goeth before the fall!"

I don't drink that flavor Kool-aid. ? I've voiced part of my theory as to what's amiss with the Blues.

I wouldn't hold my breath on that one.

Heart is often a determine factor in a close game.

22-18 final! I think you win the prize.

How's each team looking tonight? Didn't want to travel to Marion.

Combination of both

Looking forward to seeing them and Richlands play. GMen definitely dominating tonight. If Tazewell can hold Richlands to 7 until 4th quarter and if we maintain what we've been doing, I don't see Richlands winning even though it will be at Ernie Hicks.
