As a previous poster said I always liked the Rich Valley Steers schemes. No I didn't go to school in Smyth County but my Dad was from Rich Valley and I have lots of family in the area.
I was surprised that the students of RB Worhy (Shakers) and Rich Valley chose such a generic nickname as Panthers but I guess there had to compromises between the 2 student bodies.
As an aside my Mom is a 1956 graduate of Gary High School (Coaldiggers).
I have uploaded 2 photos of the Rich Valley Steers. I know the baseball pic is 1978. I believe the football pic is 1983.
