Most likely in 2025 they make the move with only the Bluefield game played at Mitchell.

Pretty sure it's federal money.  Graham's field specifically is from Covid funding, if I recall correctly... for an "outdoor learning space".  Pretty slick of TCPS to get a turf field by using it for "outdoor learning".  The other projects are not from county funds either, can't remember if they are state or federal  funds, but those are for facility upgrades.
 
Also, if Graham does build a stadium, it will be some sort of joint effort between the town of Bluefield. VA and the school system.  Similar to the gyms built behind Graham High School.  Like I said before, if they build a stadium, I hope it's something to be proud of and not the cheapest thing to do.

No I said my source is money. As in the person who told me the info.

I'm not sure who we're discussing here, but is it the older gentlemen that coaches Defense at Bluefield University?  If so, perhaps he is retiring from the college scene and is just offering his services to the local high school where he now lives.  Just curious.  None of these coaches, especially assistants are making much money, they're practically volunteering their time  anyway.  What will an assistant coaches paycheck get you now - a - days in this economy?  A few tanks of gas and a couple of six packs?

Dennis Palmer is not going to Richlands and he will still be coaching at Graham. I don’t know who your source is but trust me , they’re unreliable. 😂😂😂😂😂The other guy is coming (that’s the only accurate part of your post) and yes,  he will be coaching DL.

I guess there’s something to be said for the old adage “happy wife, happy life!”

I’d get a refund on that crystal ball if I were you. 😂 

Title says it all. Let’s hear those offseason changes around the region. I’ll get us started.
 
Tony Palmer has apparently hired the Bluefield University DC and Snake appears to be in his way out.  

It is correct he was hired. As the DL coach replacing Kelvin Dubouse. He will be working directly for Snake. Coach Palmer isn't going anywhere.

There are going to be two duck ponds at the Graham location for the drainage. It shouldn’t impact the homes across the street or cause any runoff affecting properties in the area. 

What if VA High protested playing JM and didn't go the Richmond?

I would tell you to watch on NFHS but the game between the Graham boys & Marion boys has been taken down.The girls' game is still up.  Who takes down games? Does NFHS? If so, why would they take it down? If not them, then does the host school take down games? If the host school takes down games, then I think we can guess why Marion took it down. Honestly, you couldn't really surmise what actually happened from the NFHS feed but I've heard there's another video that clearly shows the coach intentionally pushed the Graham player. I haven't seen it though.  I was at the game and it 100% happened.  The officials discussed at length what they were going to do.  The coach was called for only a technical.  If I were the administration at Graham I'd be filing a complaint with the VHSL. No high school coach should lay his hands on a player especially a player from the opposing team. 

For the first time in Bland County basketball history, Danielle Sanders (granddaughter of the Joe Stiltner, Bland Rocket basketball standout in the 70s) set the record for most blocks in a girls' game with 14. The previous record was 10 set by her.  She also achieved the first triple double in the history of BC basketball with 14 points, 16 rebounds, and 14 blocks in a victory against Grayson County.  Bland plays Galax tomorrow night. She's a junior who's probably about 6' 4".  I think Joe Stiltner was somewhere around 6' 9" tall. Congratulations to this young lady!

It's quite interesting that folks are talking not about what Davis brings to the table, but what D. Palmer would bring to the table after this hire.  

I personally don't see Dennis leaving Graham, but I've been wrong many times in my 70 years if life.  I would like to see him back at Richlands because I think his defensive coaching skills played a big part in the good teams that Mance had while he was HC.  Offense is fun to watch, but as the saying goes, defense wins championships.  Come to Richlands or stay at Graham, eitherr way, I wish him the best in his retirement.

Sounds like a plan. My prediction is based upon what I think, is that he stays put. I haven’t talked to him in a while, but it’s not so easy to pick up and move when you have a family to think about, even when other family is involved. Hypothetically, if a choice is to be made between spouse and child vs parent or sibling, it’s wise to choose the former. I continue to wish him success in retirement no matter what he chooses. I would happily welcome him with open arms if he chooses to return.

I personally don’t believe we’ll have to 😂. I think he stays put.
