Team

Richlands is 2-3 against the toughest 4 game streak in the state. 
Tazewell is 4-1, which is impressive given the injures. 
Jordan was ejected against Honaker so he won’t be available for the Dawgs unless an appeal is won. 
Gonna be packed at Bulldogs Stadium. 

Stolen from the other board.

Radford has only played 4 games.

I'm hoping for Graham to set a VHSL scoring record.

Moving said rb from the line back to fullback was the best decision Jeremy has made. No way he needs to be at OG. Jeremy has my full support in anything he does. As does most GC fans. It's a long way back to being the GC of old and will not happen over night. But I believe it will happen in the future. It just takes time. 

We are at the halfway point of the season -- so let's have a big points blowout. Multiple GotW this week! Good luck!

Does this mean I get NCAA Football back?! Cause if so, I’m all in. 

The California law doesn't take effect until 2023.  A bill introduced in Florida today will take effect in 2020 if passed.  Similar bills have been introduced in New York, Illinois and South Carolina.  Indiana (Notre Dame) and North Carolina are expected to have similar bills introduced this week.
The dominoes have started to fall!

NCAA should just ban every player who receives money so they can go start their professional career. 

The compromise here is to allow players to benefit off their likenesses for purposes of endorsements, video games, etc. but for the schools to be forbidden from subsidizing that.  It’s the only rational way to get around Title IX.  It might also eliminate the “bag men”.  What’s $100K from a booster when Nike’s paying you $1M?

North Carolina, South Carolina and New York all have similar bills before state legislature right now.  In my opinion, the NCAA will cease to exist in a few years.  At least in the way we have come to know the NCAA.  The athletic departments of each university (and as a collective group) hold all the power.  The NCAA doesn't have any discernible talent or skill.  Without an agreement with the power athletic schools, the NCAA doesn't have anything to sell to the general public. The athletic departments of Alabama, Clemson, Texas, USC, etc. have tons of power with the product they can sell.
The NCAA will consist of the "Group of 5" before long.  The "Power 5" conferences will operate as a sort of "minor leagues" of professional sports.

As a Richlands fan, this is starting to get annoying to see. Do I think we got multiple bad calls against us?absolutely. Do I think anything can change it? No. So let’s accept it for what it was and move on. No need to beat a dead horse anymore.

Why is the Beaver-Graham game the first game? You have to know some history. It is true that in the early days Bluefield was a much larger school than Graham. Bluefield started full time football in 1922. Graham and the rest of Tazewell County in 1926. I can only find one game for Graham that they actually played on their schedule. I can't verify it but it seems logical that the Graham team disbanded in 1926 due to lack of interest.
In 1927 Graham actually played Ramsey and Wade Jr Highs from Bluefield. Bluefield had three Jr High schools then. Fairview was the other. In 1928 Graham was not on the Bluefield schedule but Graham challenged Bluefield to a city championship game and the first "modern" day game was played at the end to the 1928 season. Graham-Beaver games were scheduled wherever the schedule allowed until 1936. These games were not really a big deal to either school at that time. Bluefield was worried about beating Princeton and Welch and Graham was worried about their games with Richlands and Tazewell. This changed for good when Graham pulled off the upset in 1934.
In 1936 Jake Miller came to Bluefield from Princeton where he was an assistant. He was head coach and AD at Bluefield. Princeton was put on suspension by the WVSSAC in 1936 for using kids from Athens on their basketball team. They were not allowed to play anyone from the WVSSAC in football. Jake Miller got the idea that Bluefield and Graham should play every year at the end of the season of Armistice Day, November 11. Apparently both schools agreed to this idea and Bluefield and Graham played on 11-11-1936. 
After the 1936 season Miller went back to Princeton. Sometime before he left Bluefield he came to the conclusion that it really would be better if Bluefield and Princeton played every Armistice Day instead of Bluefield and Graham. Before leaving Bluefield Miller had a game contract drawn up with Princeton to play on Armistice Day in Princeton. This was in addition to the game that was already on contract between Bluefield and Princeton in late September 1937. He signed the contract as Bluefield AD and then resigned and took the AD job at Princeton where he then proceeded to sign the contract as AD for Princeton. No one at Bluefield or Graham was aware of this underhanded move and the 1937 schedules had Bluefield and Graham playing November 11 but this was simply a gentleman's agreement and there was no official contract,
Sometime in October 1937 (after the first Bluefield - Princeton game had been played in Bluefield) Princeton produced the 2nd game contract much to the surprise of Bluefield. At that time each city in Mercer County had their own BOE with the county board over them. The Bluefield board ruled the 2nd game did not have to be played. The Princeton board said the game was legally contracted and had to be played. The issue went to the Mercer Board and they ruled in favor of Princeton. 
Bluefield and Graham then began negotiating for a game on a different date. Negotiations quickly broke down when Graham discovered a clause in the contract that was new in most game contracts in 1937. The clause stated that no player from Bluefield or Graham could play in the game if said player had played at the other school the year before. There were at least two players on Graham that had played at Bluefield in 1936 and those players would not be allowed to play under the new terms. Graham simply could not be competitive without 2 players that had started all year and the contract was never signed. This is the reason there was no Graham - Beaver game in 1937 and two Bluefield - Princeton games in 1937. It is a shame because it was Bill Dudley's senior year.
From this time forward Bluefield and Princeton ALWAYS played on November 11 or thereabouts and it was Bluefield and Princeton's final game. This lasted until 1963 when violence at the Bluefield - Princeton games caused the game to be moved to the beginning of the season and ultimately removed entirely from the schedule until 1970. 
In the meantime Bluefield and Graham had started a tradition of playing their game as the first or second game of the season depending on when the states allowed the earliest game to be played and that tradition has lasted until today. This game is now an event and it would be crazy to move it to any other date. Just for the record there have been times Bluefield "knew they would win" if the game was later in the season. 1979 comes to mind.
