Richlands ended up placing 9th. Went 3-1 on the weekend. First team from Tazewell County to ever place in the VA Duels. Huge honor. Wish we could have gotten a different draw than Poquoson in that first round to see what would have happened. 

Richlands coach is doing good things there

They beat  3a powerhouse Skyline and lost to Historically Awesome Great Bridge By one  point.  I may be wrong on skylines classification ,  But great showing For them Kids

Looks like Grundy won their 2 matches today at Va dual,  Richlands wrestles Poquoson  there this eve

The often overlooked best sport.  VHSL 1 Wrestling in Va 0.   The 5 tournament rule has not helped the sport

So Heritage was thrown out because of the common name and we now have the 5,541th Central in the country? 🙂

They had a plan to put all three schools together and build identical things for them  all on one piece of land.  I think Dan fast was in with that group I may be wrong

Gate City at one point was probably the most hated team on this board years ago in my opinion. 

Haha yes I agree,  No scott county teams drawing heat anymore.  

I bet if gate city was winning more they would be mentioned a lot.

You sound like you are scared to go Appy

Ah yes on the road Appalachia had a total different atmosphere.   If it was a night game you probably leaving without your tailgate or hubcaps

We will see, I see this group having legit chance at 3 individual titles but likely not enough depth this year for a team title. 

I think aa is  weaker than a as far as being able to win an individual title

I give them a 1 in 8 chance.

How about now?   🙂

I seen in another thread they are the favorites in this weekends game.  I think a Union/ Riverheads game down the line would be pretty neat

Im not pulling for them,  but its not their first rodeo. They know how to act in big games.  It makes a difference 

Does Riverheads have a chance of winning AA in your opinions?

WISE - - UVA Wise announced Tuesday that the school had partnered with Mammoth Sports Consulting to assist in the search for its next football coach. Mammoth Vice President Dr. Kurt Patberg will be leading the search. Additionally, Director of Athletics Kendall Rainey announced that Mike Compton will serve as Interim Head Coach during the search process. Previously, Compton served as Associate Head Coach and Offensive Line Coach for the Cavaliers over the last eight seasons. He replaces Dane Damron who resigned following the conclusion of the regular season.

"We appreciate Coach Damron's service to UVA Wise and our student-athletes, remarked Rainey.

A Southwest Virginia native, Compton played 12 seasons in the NFL before having various coaching stints at local high schools and colleges before reaching UVA Wise.

Are these games televised or is it the the title games?

 

If you don’t get close to 36 skolley’s and pay your staff it’s always going to be tough when LR , wingate and Newman can.  But awesome stadium and nice facilities could attract a bunch of interest 

You can pay 2 grand to park behind the stands and drink from your tailgate

And to clarify, I am referring to scholarships.  Something they are very stingy with up there even though they are a public university. The only one in the conference they are in. 

What is the deal with scholarships?  Do they not use all they are allowed?

How does one get a head coach job anywhere with this type of stats?
