  1. No. Not at all. Coaches are defined by their records in 1 or 2 score games. Blowouts are typically talent based and is not a reflection on coaching. The way they manage ,the clock / timeouts/ unnecessary penalties , turnout of players in the program, retaining players, closing out games in which you are competitive, ( all things that coach mance was able to do), however are coach related. No one is suggesting the talent pool is great or even close to 6 years ago. But the free passes shouldn't be given out each week. . Go back during this 3 1/2 year run and you make the call just based on these areas. Its hard to see this board bash travis turner ( whose teams are usually very consistent ) but this coach gets a free pass due to talent levels. I wasn"t calling for his job , just a fair assessment. Talent is down , and so is the leadership.
  2. maybe this one will stop, the whole narrative of " he is doing a great job coaching" " he is doing the best he can with the kids he has to work with " etc, that has been put all over this site for 2 years.
  3. I know you were just messing . No offense taken . Its hard to watch the program spiral downhill so fast. Just trying to set bleed blue straight that Richlands has many problems that will need addressed , and coach lowe isn't one of them. They fired him , so need to focus on fixing instead of blaming ....
  4. Bleed Blue. Ill respond . This isn't Coach Lowe . The reason you wont respond to any of " the rest of it" , is because its all true. Ill explain the logic. If i got fired from 2 different positions at the same school, I would probably leave that school, and xfer my children as well . So that's not a big deal. The basketball team kept the core of best players last year , after the firing of coach Lowe. They left this summer . That's not a coach Lowe issue . The football team struggled last year without Coach Lowe. And yes I agree , they would have anyway. However , loosing players to Honaker in no way can help the loosing. I would do whatever it took to keep my best athletes , girls and boys in the program . That's the biggest part of high school coaching . Not Xs and Os . You keep the athletes in your program and then coach them up. Correct ? So, if Lowe is gone , and your still bashing him for the recent avalanche of players leaving/not participating, it seems as if you may want to find a legitimate reason . Look around, maybe the reasons are right in front of you. This time next year, who are you gonna blame it on. I'm just saying , the Lowes made a business decision . We should applaud the efforts. And in the long run , if he is on a winning staff and his children excel . Be happy for him . Support the kids who spend there whole summer working on skills and conditioning . I've never seen and example of a kid who spends there whole summer working and then it not turn out good. Some kids go to weight room and field 2/3 times a week and call it work . Nah , thats called the minimum . Focus your attention on that. Blaming someone who hasn't been part of the football team in over a year for the xfers and the upcoming 2 win season wont be a good look. Coach Mance would have all these kids at his school and not leaving . No way he would let a potential all state lineman , wr, and upcoming starting qb leave. It never happened. And if you don't think 3 players make that big of a difference in wins and losses in 2A football, then your a momm or dad of a player on the team and just want lil bobby to be treated fair..... and as far as Trivette , she would be there as well if coach Lowe was still coaching so obviously the girls had no issues with him. And I agree that she isn't as accomplished as Allen was at this point but very well will be by the end of this season or the next. The point of that was , no school can afford to loose someone of that caliber. Not just a great player, but an unselfish team player, that now we cant drive over to the house of hustle and watch play this winter. Bleed blue started this issue by bashing coach Lowe. and all I'm saying is , he has done the right thing for his kids and family moving forward , and don't be surprised if his decision leads to a lot of wins and losses while another program sinks.
  5. The train wreck, is a school that is loosing player after player . Cant keep the best girls basketball player to ever come through the school from xfering. The best lineman ( Cole ) is at Honaker. Best receiver ( Bandy) is at Honaker. Best crop of 7/8 grade girls and boys have xfered to Honaker. You think you can blame that on Lowe? Parker Lowe will be a 3/4 year varsity starter at 2 sports , and you guys want him gone ? That's the problem . I would say any school would welcome a kid that wants to spend his whole summer going to camps and trainers . The Blues may win 2 games a year for the upcoming future and good luck blaming Lowe. He doesn't coach at Richlands. Football or basketball. If he did . Trivette would still be a Blue. You guys have lost $1,000 dollars a week just in the revenue she brought in for girls / boys basketball games. But as long as you all keep acting like you don't care everytime a good player ducks out on you , this slide will continue.
  6. I want to say Grundy, but that loss to Honaker scares me. Didn't see the game , but clearly cant list Grundy as the favorite due to that loss. . I'm thinking Holston may have to many athletes.
  7. RV was very balanced the first time around and looked really polished in the game back in September. . Richlands was playing the worst 3 game stretch maybe in the last 2 decades. Not sure how this one plays out, but somewhat expect a better showing from Richlands. Rv would have to make some mistakes and the blues would need to come out swinging to have a shot IMO.
  8. I agree. Richlands has now had several games dating back to last year ( Ridgeview) in which they just look lethargic and going through the motions for a quarter or 2. Then fight hard down the stretch. Union had the better team and gave them a quick 14-0 lead. I just wish the blues would be more aggressive in the first half. The screens to brown have looked good all year ,and Simmons has hauled in almost every deep ball that gets thrown to him. Webb had monster game Friday but still was used almost none as a slot receiver. Im not sure why the passing numbers are so far down. Qb appeared to have time, in a few contests this year but 0 timing routes . Webb is most dangerous IMO when they were throwing him 8-10 balls across the middle per game in all years past. But back to Tru Blue 72s post , I agree. Union the better team , and proud of the effort but would love to see a 4 quarter game out of the blues this season. Gate city in week 1 , may have been the closest thing to that we will see. Lomax and Jenkins are flat studs for Union and I think that the second round of the region playoffs will be some of the best football played in a long time.
  9. If Wells never makes it back to Richlands for the next 50 years , it will be too soon.
  10. i promise the the RHS parents , players , etc are glad he is gone . period
  11. I think the issue that can be argued by both sides is this, Ridgeview , is on the loosing end of having to miss games due to covid. It propels union into the playoffs . Graham and tazewell both loose nothing for having the same thing occur. The truth is , the first richlands /graham game 100 percent was a real game it counts . But both sides know that it wasn't a district game, as Neither team would have scheduled the other one for the 1 non-district opponent if otherwise. The argument that RHS has is a simple one. They have enough points to be the 4 seed in a region in which usually 8 teams make the playoffs. And no matter what, they had a fighting chance to knock off graham on Friday . Go back and watch the first game. Pretty good ball game. Winning Friday would have caused a 3 way tie, plain and simple. No team wanted to loose that opportunity no matter what the reason. That is football at its finest. A chance to go to playoffs and a chance at first place was taken from them. And it does help both tazewell and graham , and that's ok . Its not their fault . But to pile on and say that richlands should have won the first game with graham , etc. isn't right . Graham lost to union 2 years ago and then thumped them in the playoffs . they lost to union , but then did what they had to do to get into the playoffs. Richlands played the schedule given to them and were 1 win from a 3 way tie . They dont get that opportunity . Its ok to be upset. Its more than ok for Ridgeview to be upset. Some of the comments are ridiculous . Such as the one about RHS hasn't beat anybody. Who the hell has tazewell beat then , if RHS sucks. ? They have played the same exact schedule , minus riverheads , which beat tazewell . It can be argued both ways. They are good ball teams . Fact is, in the past 3 weeks RHS-Tazewell , Tazewell-Graham were decided by 3 total points. That's good football . Period. Good luck to all the area teams no matter how it plays out. We are blessed with great talent in our area .
  12. VHSL helper: Just in : In other news Graham beat tazewell in an overtime thriller saturday. CCD
  13. Every team was already getting a shortened season with only 6 regular season games and either playoffs or plus-1. Graham not being able to play this week just took a game from a senior, and a chance at the playoffs. and with covid , there are no certainty of next weeks plus-1 game being played. Richlands , with a new coach , junior and sophomore skill players would jump at the chance to play Radford or anyone i would imagine.
  14. The only thing worse than this scenario for a lot of teams and would have been a hotter topic , is if the contact tracing comes back to the covid being spread to the gmen by chris akers...........
