Let's not get carried away here...they are several issues with the program and has been since 2016 and not having a QB that can throw the ball has been the main reason.ever QB since the Blues loss to Appo in Salem would not have started for any other team in southwest district.the QB pipeline in Richlands has
Posts and predictions indicate more than one issue in this mess. More important question is how to fix? As indicated earlier, it will take hard work and cooperation, plus an infusion of greater talent helps.
Consistency. This team hasn’t had any at all. There hasn’t been 2 games that you’ve had the same lineup. This is a young team, they haven’t been given the opportunity to settle. Hopefully the coaches pull it together bc there is amazing talent in that team it’s just not being utilized.
So glad you aren't like some the other parents that come on here just to bash people. Have to have a warped sense of humor at times on here.
I honestly just created this profile to respond to my son being called a quitter. I hope all the teams in our area succeed. These boys are great. I’m capable of laughing at my own expense without getting butt hurt.
Richlands is a hot mess right now with a group calling for McGee, Vencil, & Tarter to go. Seems like a select core group stirring the pot & getting others in an uproar to take up the cross with them so to speak. Kid wasn’t playing the entire game anymore & coaches trying some different stuff. Mommy got mad (egged on by some former coaches , hearsay) & kid quit and possibly transferring to Lebanon. I’m not sure why anyone would want to coach in that end of the county these days with all that drama. Tarter is a much better person & dedicated person to tough it out for those boys than most would be.
Actually this is completely inaccurate and I’m sure it’s come from the select few that run things at Richlands. He was never groomed to be a QB, he was put in that position by coaches. He then was tore down by those same coaches. He asked multiple times to watch film with the OC or the head coach, neither would ever do that one on one. He was told by the head coach that he was going to work with him one on one back in the spring. He never did. He spent 6-8 hours at the field house most days in the summer and came for them trying to recruit on Sundays. Then they didn’t commit to actually keeping him in as QB for any consecutive games. Kalib asked them to move him to a different position at least 3 different times bc he loves the game. Let’s not even touch all the Daddyball. I’m tired of grown men bullying children. It’s freaking high school football not the NFL, they know about these boards and read the crap that’s posted.
Yeah…I was thinking the same thing. Kid could have asked “Where do you need me Coach?” Many a kid has switched positions and thrived. Not everyone can be the pitcher, SS or QB.
I’m that kids mom. That kid did ask multiple times to be switched to a different position after Richlands many failed attempts at recruiting. He did just fine in the 7v7s. And totall accurate I am that mom. I’ll advocate 100% for my kid. You all are looking from the stands you don’t know the way those kids are bullied and treated on that team. But that’s not a conversation you are willing to have.
