That would be awesome, actually

There were 4 people who applied. A former Grayson Co. Coach was one. A former Gretna coach was one. The other two were Tazewell alum.

Imposter!! Probably a guy in a suit.

Maybe Harris learned how to return punts while he was away... I wish them the best..

Should know by Tuesday Morning.

Agree.

Yeah that and the fact that this will most likely be the Best team Bluefield has had in several years. Bluefield should be very good for the next few years with the athletes coming through the program right now. It will definitely add some strength to the schedule.

Mike Horton was a big part of that success. I hope the Graham assistants learned a lot from him in the weight room. He is at Bluefield now. You can count on one thing, those Bluefield boys will be in top notch condition with Horton on the staff. I'm sure Graham will be in good condition too, but Horton is a personal trainer and knows how to get the most out of athletes. I look for Bluefield to be one of the area's top teams, if not the top as long as he is on the staff. I expect Bluefield to be reminiscent of the Bluefield teams of the not too distant past. Padgett was supposed to be big on conditioning too.

Maybe in the past, but more recently, I think it's more of getting the kids committed to the program and It’s hard to get kids to put a lot of effort into anything now a days. The teams in the area that can get the kids committed to put the time in are the successful teams. Parents can be a problem anywhere. Ive been hearing this about Tazewell for the past 30 years. I don't think Parents trying to run the team are nearly as big as an issue as it used to be. These days if a parent don't like how things are going, they just take their kid somewhere else. Having an offense that has 6 plays in the playbook doesn't motivate kids to play either.

Maybe the defenses he faced were worse then well placed traffic cones.

I know people like to sing Padgett's praises, but that offensive scheme could be stopped with some well placed traffic cones. Good luck to him.

Saunders has been at 8 or 10 different schools. Has about 40 years in. Not sure how long he would stick around. I wouldn't take the chance. I think Young deserves a shot. Wouldn't surprise me to see Harris get it. I would say give it to Young and let Harris take on a smaller role with the team.

Yeah, Graham had 6 guys that could play. The starting 5 and the younger Palmer off the bench. The other guys were a big step back from those 6.... Good thing all 6 are coming back and they should have at least a couple more that will contribute.

School Board meets on the 13th. They will probably make an announcement then.

I would encourage the fine folks of Bluefield, Va to demand better for their kids from those in leadership roles. The squeaky wheel gets the grease.
