On Richlands and Salem, I was there.  I have never in my life heard that Salem also had illegal cleats as well. This is a first in 30 years.  I will say this though, and it's a little fact few ever discuss.  Yes, the field was wet, but the mud was between the 30's, from the 30 yd line to the 30 yd line and over to the hashes, (40 yds total) but the other 60 yds of the field was simply wet grass, and when Salem had the ball and Richlands had the ball in these 60 yds of the field, Richlands also bested em on the line of scrimmage.  But, does longer cleats effect performance on wet grass and not mud?  I have no clue.  

What Vault did was IGNORANT, period.  There is no excuse for "not knowing," if he truly didn't know.  That decision led to a discussion 1/3rd of a century later around Christmas, so you tell me if the decision was boneheaded or not?  It was boneheaded.  Salem has always been tough and those teams back then were tough, but the team that once did beat them straight up and I mean pulverized them 2 or 3 years before that Richlands game was Lee High down at Lee.  I think it was 26-8 Lee, but it was worse than the score.  They physically beat up Salem and that just rarely, very rarely ever occured back then.  

Yes, Lee pounded them that game.  It was never close.  

I agree with VFL and BSG Historian.  It was the best game I've watched in a very long time & Union was lucky to escape with the win.  Referees were horrible, and that is being nice.  Never seen so many moving screens called in a game.  Moore stayed on the refs from the 4th qtr on and they ended up getting some favorable calls (and non calls) until the end.  Wharton stepped up big for Union.

Yes, I believe you’re right. I’m sure I’m leaving out a couple of other great guys from the the first few years that lhs was opened. I am getting too old to remember back that far! I remember their abilities, just can’t remember all of the names. The level of talent was out of this world back then and it remained top notch until around the early 2000’s if my memory serves me correctly. Not putting anyone down that came after. I just feel like it is a different for world now and MOST kids are not the same.   

Chris Day was the quarterback Lee High's first season.  Brady Yeary was one of the best RB's in Lee's history.  Had a lot of talent on both sides of the ball the first 7 or 8 years Lee was open.

Anxious to hear the reasons for this as well.

Roop gets 10 touches per game, they're in it.  Best athlete on the field just on hustle,  but he might be the fastest also. Hammonds might be faster,  but with Roops size he's dangerous.  Better line play from city i believe was the difference. 

Don't think Roop or Hammonds is the fastest on the team.  I think that goes to Konner Early
