To be fair, include Richlands in that request. All schools should receive equal treatment.

Here’s a video that was posted as they were finishing up on the field. I’ll try to find an aerial photo. I seem to remember someone flying a drone overhead & posting it. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1Bo6hSKCZq/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Well, we’re about to see how serious Tazewell County is about bringing Graham’s stadium to “completion”. It’s a ridiculous premise to expect them to play at Tazewell for “years to come” but they paid Bluefield WV for decades to play there which seemed equally ridiculous.

I gotcha…I’d still say given an option most coaches would opt for Saturday rather than a short week & play on Thursday but I’m not sure Tony Palmer will get to decide that or if that’s his preference.

Thanks for clarifying. So I wonder if Richlands & Graham will also get a rubberized track in the future.

So basically almost every home game for Graham conflicts with Tazewell. I guess Graham will be playing a lot of Saturday games. I can’t see GMen wanting to play on Thursday nights.

I honestly have no idea.

It seems like the intelligent thing to do would have been install a rubberized track in the beginning rather than installing an asphalt one and less than a year later digging it up to replace it but that’s just me. In my opinion, all three schools should have had rubberized track installed from the get go.

Well, that sucks for Graham kids. City of Bluefield could have offered the traditional two year contract that’s always been offered but chose greed over kids. I back the decision by TCPS but it’s the Graham kids that are getting $hit on because adults chose to have a pissing match. In the meantime it’s rumored Tazewell gets a rubberized track which Graham asked but was denied but I digress. Why play the Tazewell game at Richlands? If it’s Graham’s home game this year just have Tazewell on visitor’s side for that game & Graham sit on the home side at Tazewell? Graham gets gate & concessions that night. It seems dumb to make both teams go to Richlands but that’s just me.

Sounds like VH AD messed up his schedule considering every one else’s games matched like they should.

Not really knowing much, Reece should be the cream of the crop as far as QB in Region D. I am curious to see the QBs that come up to replace those graduated Seniors you mentioned. I will say the strategy Graham used last season switching between Roberts & Lilly worked well. I hope they stick with that honestly. I do know the youngest Palmer kid put up good numbers as middle school QB. He’s an upcoming freshman.

Not sure but wouldn’t surprise me if it was renamed after Donnie Pruitt.

Should be some 7 on 7s coming up…anyone know for sure where. I know E & H , VT, possibly Honaker , maybe Eastside, George Wythe???? I heard Richlands & Graham have done some between themselves. I wish one of the Tazewell Co. schools would host a one with several schools but I realize it a lot to probably get together.

More interesting to me is the other school RB Worhty was called “The Shakers” & their mascot as a salt shaker 😂😂 which I get it Saltville but really??😂😂 How in the world a steer & salt shaker merge into panther? I like Salted Steers !

Rumor is Graham’s future home stadium for the foreseeable future 🙄.

Does anyone know if VH got their schedule fixed yet?

Scottie Ball was fun to watch on basketball court as well.

I agree with this sentiment. It has to be one of the worst stadiums in SWVA.

Daddy ball has ruined many a program or team’s success. Edit: and ruined many another kid’s potential and love of the game in pursuit of the almighty meaningless LL championship.

District tournament champs also.

Richlands Little League used to be the gold standard per se in our area. How many potentially decent players that could be developed into better players will never play in high school because they stood on the sidelines in little league? The entire purpose or intent of little league has gone sideways. I’m not sure when the shift occurred. Maybe it was inevitable or perhaps wrong folks in charge , either way, kids have been done a disservice.

I tend to agree especially as far as atmosphere, Bullit Park is second to none.
