I don't think any team is going to play on a Friday and then play Bluefield on a Monday or Tuesday and then play their regular game on Friday of that week too.

Someone posted awhile back 6 games were needed but don't know if they are right or not

It’s sad to see a coach let his players cuss and talk trash to young kids after the game like that. What a disgrace for Mt View 

Bad sportsmanship  in my opinion. When teams do that, it makes me cheer against them. I hope Graham or Central humbles them a bit, sounds like someone needs too.  Teams will remember that when Virginia High has another bad team. 

Like it or not trash talking is big among this younger generation. If you’re 35+, you probably trashed talked a little but nowhere near what these kids feel led to do. I don’t like it personally but it’s here to stay. The BIGGER problem I have with it is when the game is out of reach and the winning team still feels the need to talk sh*t. The losing team has nothing to lose, they are down, frustrated, and looking for an opportunity to take a dirty shot. It’s only 15 yards.
Another factor is some daddy’s want their kids to be Bad*sses more-so than good coachable teamates. 

Graham-21
Richlands-20
 
 
now, you happy you whining little girls?

The GMen, as bad as they played /lookeed/penalties vs Tazewell and considering how good VHigh looked against Tazewell, the Graham defense allowed Tazewell 150 total yards and Tazewell had almost two times that amount against Virginia High.  Graham also had 408 total yards against Tazewell compared to Va High's 367, and Graham had 17 penalties that helped bring down their total yards. Also, the final score was worse for Tazewell against Graham compared to VHigh, and Tazewell was going to have a goose egg on the board without the badly thrown pick 6.  All of that with Graham having few practices/coming off quarantine.   I'm not saying Graham beats VH, maybe VH beats Graham, but the numbers above kind of show how dangerous Graham Could/Possibly be if they get out of their own heads.  Even if you are a VH fan, if you look at the above, it has to have you a bit worried when you play Graham, and truly hoping Graham self destructs.  
I think Richlands is the real deal, and to me, the best team they've had since losing to Appomattox in a game they should have won.  I think they actually beat Graham, but come playoff time, after the Graham QB gets his feet wet and gains comfort, and the discipline is largely fixed, I would pick Graham to win.  Graham is so undisciplined right now to me that it's going to take more than 1 week to fix, and Richlands to me is very good.  Good enough that Graham will not be able to just overcome the discipline issues due to the talent gap, because Richlands on the line of scrimmage, although not very big, is vicious, and not a huge disparity up front between the two in my opinion, but come playoff time, no way will I pick the Blues over Graham, and maybe not even Union based on the talent present on Graham's team that is evident from last night.  Scary, scary talented 2A team.  

As long as it's not Snake or Davis lol

Richlands' principal voted for the changes. Any appeal by Richlands is ultimately moot. It should be a done deal.  Union goes to playoffs, Richlands does not. The end.

I agree with you.  As a whole, Graham is a very well coached High School Team and their staff gets the best out of their players and they are a well oiled machine, but I said this earlier, two to three major miscues by the Graham staff with under 4 minutes left.  They had Tazewell on the ropes.  Gashing them on the ground and with 2nd and 5 at the Tazewell 16, they through the ball with about 3 minutes left.  Then on the next play, the run the QB around the end to the hash setting up an incredibly difficult kick, and of course, they went for it on 4th and Tazewell stopped em.  It was the 2nd and 3rd down calls that completely baffled me and two other guys I was watching with.  Then, on Grahams final drive, letting the QB having a chance to throw the ball into the middle of the endzone from 10 yds out on play where Tazewell was playing clock and pass all the way and the int occured.  Any of those 3 calls could have and almost cost Graham the game.  

No offense to anyone because I am by no means an expert nor do I claim to be. Graham has a first class coaching staff but I really have to question several of the decisions tonight at least on the offensive side of the ball.  Graham could have prevented an OT in my opinion on a couple different occasions but as I said, I am no expert. 

No fumble..  He was stopped just inches short.  Josiah Jordan played a whale of a defensive game covering Bradshaw.  I would have liked to have seen more attempts to get the ball to Jordan in space.  I think Graham started to stop the read-option later in the game.  That would have been the perfect time to run 5 wide and get the ball to Jordan or Jones or Harris or the other Harris.  My point is, if you have those kind of athletes, get them in space and use them.  Something good will happen.

I believe that in the M7, the games with Abingdon do not count now and in the SWD, that neither the first Graham/Richlands game nor the Tazewell/RIverheads game count towards points.  The regional final will be held at a neutral site. (So says my source from what was decided today).

I hope that no one in Richlands gets staff this season. 

I guess you guys were right. Ronnie Davis and Frank Daugherty are out at Richlands. Mike Compton(former Patriot)and Brandon Compton to replace. Via Richlands coach. 

I wouldn't be surprised it GW kept it close most of the game but Galax probably pulls away late 3rd or 4thQ.  GW QB is very fun to watch.  He's got some speed. 

It was such a kind gesture towards our band. They even played at a Bluefield College game. I hope other area schools will invite them to perform. 

This happened at Tazewell not too long ago. The Bland band came and played for visiting Montcalm when they played at Tazewell. Really neat idea for those kids. 

With all due respect, it’s ridiculous to compare 2003 to Friday night’s game. In 2003 the game was won and refs determined the outcome. There was one questionable call in my opinion Friday night. Bluefield had two TDS called back: two sloppy plays that allowed Richlands to score. If not for those missteps, the outcome would have been even more lopsided. Richlands played hard but they weren’t beating Bluefield this year, period. Anyone blaming the loss on refs didn’t watch the same game I did. Bluefield is strong, fast, talent all over the field. Richlands has talent in Webb and Forest. Simmons is decent at QB. They should have a good season when it’s said & done and make playoffs.  If Bluefield had everyone in & healthy it would have been a more embarrassing loss than the regular season game with Graham last year. I’m not throwing any shade at Richlands , they always play hard and are well coached. I’m just looking at the entire picture realistically. 2003 is nowhere near 9/27/19. 

Go to WVVA news and click on the sports section. They have highlights from around the area...they showed that particular play. I believe the highlight of that game is under the first section.

The people with money in Princeton will not allow a coach to coach in Princeton. Kind of like it has been in a near by county seat for a while.

There’s another’s picture of it that show Steele’s feet are on the left side of the hash and the ball a foot inside the hash. Steele is 3-4 feet left of the ball. 

With VH$L, it’s always about the almighty dollar. Biggest money racket going in the Old Dominion!
