I think starting at a smaller school would benefit him more but that’s just me. Wish him the best wherever he ends up.

Oak Hill Academy Red 76 Graham 40 Final Oak Hill White over Graham JV

Is Hopsing the cook?

Double technical , geez!

Yes but an actual stadium at Graham is not part of that just the turf field/track.

Yes, that kid did have some good blocks. Ray has had some off games but this one he was on fire. He’s a leader on the court directing everyone where to be. That helps The Disibbio kid is only a freshmen. He was knocking some down tonight too. Graham has three freshmen & only one Senior and he doesn’t play that much. When Graham played VH, they struggled with their big guy. I thought they might struggle with the Reece kid especially under the basketball but they handled him pretty well for the most part. Hopefully, the Pioneers can learn from this game and start working better as a team. I truly wouldn’t be shocked if when they play at Lebanon it’s a nail biter. I think any given game, several teams could take win, the region is that close.

Graham sweeps Lebanon. Graham Varsity boys beat Lebanon pretty handily. Graham had several fouls early though. Lebanon came out strong the first couple minutes of 2nd half. Running clock late in the 4th for a bit. Ray & Disibbio hit several of 3s. Lebanon had a few too. I’m not sure what starters might have been out for Lebanon. The Reece kid played & Wess kid, they both seemed to be the better players for Lebanon tonight. 71-43 Final

I heard if Graham gets a stadium that the funding will need to come from the community. There are no funds allocated from the school board, town, or county. I wonder what price tag we’re looking at and if enough donations can be collected to make it a reality. Yes, on Richlands field, get the color right time, lol.

I think most of the JV are 8th graders but definitely might have to bring up a couple if they can. It’s a shame they lost Isabelle & Floyd.

I think he meant Union plays Lebanon at VH but I could be wrong.

Yeah, me either. It would be hard to replicate the success of the past couple years losing the talent of some of those seniors like Forbes.

They couldn’t handle VH’s big man. They play Lebanon Tuesday. It will be interesting to see if Graham can get the win. Richlands stayed right with Graham until 3rd Q. With that said, Graham is definitely clicking better than the VH game. I still think they’ll struggle with teams who have a “big man” in the paint.

Must be resignation season, Central Woodstock’s Coach Mike Yew has resigned.

I’m just glad in the absence of Tastee Freeze we still have some DQ’s in our area. Man, Tastee Freeze was great though.

I’m not saying it’s a realistic expectation I’m just saying it would be real nice if everybody had one. I honestly don’t know how some of these guys coach with the stuff they have to put up with but kudos to them for sticking with it. It has to be because they love the game and love kids. As far as teachers, there’s a reason they’re leaving the profession in droves, and there’s a shortage. If I was a person with school-age children, I’d seriously consider homeschooling them.

I think every team needs a dedicated QB coach who knows how to develop them and maximize a kid’s potential. Nothing against Graham’s staff but I wish they had the one with the resumè that you speak of which I have no clue who that is but I wish the GMen had one.

Lebanon hung over 100 on Richlands, dang! I just can’t see the Reece kid leaving Lebanon for Richlands unless there’s some kind of sweet deal to entice him. 😂😂😂 Just kidding but doesn’t he play baseball? They were state champs. Do leave a successful program in one sport to help build a recently unsuccessful one at another school?

Seems like Trivette girl would have been just as well off staying at Richlands, she’s definitely not being utilized to her ability.

I think from the perspective of Richlands folks the talk of Dennis Palmer is merely in the form of wishful thinking. They know firsthand the success Richlands had with him as defensive coordinator and maybe a bit of nostalgia. With the exception of a few, most of the people in Richlands are excited about Davis and his ability to right the ship. Someone referenced the state championship in softball under him. Without Osborne as pitcher, I don’t think that would have happened just like without Compton, I don’t think Tazewell wins either. No knock on either head coach both are quality guys but sometimes talent can win a championship regardless of head coach in a sport like softball.

Spot on…you can’t force desire and so many kids these days want the rewards but want to bypass the work to get there.

Or ones starting in January

That wouldn’t be a bad hire as far as football is concerned. I obviously don’t know what’s been going on in Russell County but Palmer is a knowledgeable football coach & if Lebanon QB stays and more come out to play, the Pioneers might move up the SWD ladder next season. I know others will disagree but as far as best overall QB (all aspects of the game) in SWD, Reece is it. Give him some decent receivers, Lebanon will have a winning record next season.

Last year at Richlands wasn’t the Breeding & Compton (son not dad)? I seem to recall from another thread them being mentioned. Someone else might know for sure.

Here’s an article in the BHC. https://heraldcourier.com/sports/prep-football-darrell-taylor-out-as-lebanon-coach/article_afb1eb9d-e40e-5eda-9085-f9258ea15aa5.html?utm_campaign=blox&utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&fbclid=IwAR11sfeZ0SS9kUF8b64BvjV5EM6fVt37z3zqiCwt8F8dziT7DCrGGO7YoAY_aem_Aap794eggTwGeeBVpdysSG0nsZL_Ia9w1xKTlPz-adom2f2IsJ9Qb0KHXewjM8KZHlY

Yeah, if you cannot even manage a few regional titles , you might not be legacy status yet, lol!
