Bluefield needs a quarterback. He can come here and continue to throw to Beavers. Lol

Will echo that sentiment like no other I've seen before

An update on Aiden Buckingham from Facebook. 
From his grandmother Vickie.
Just a quick update on Aiden, the tumor is out and the doctor feels he was able to completely remove it. We will have to wait for the pathology report to see if any further treatment is needed. His speech and memory is intact he is resting comfortably rating his pain a 3. He has been an excellent patient and has completely charmed the nurses and doctors . We can’t thank you enough for your prayers and support. Our God is an awesome God and all the praise and glory goes to Him!

The American Legion donated $35,000 to the building of the stadium in 1964 with two stipulations. The new field would be named "Legion Field" and that a room at the field be provided free of charge to Legion members for meetings. There is an article in the Kingsport Times dated 08-27-1966 that talks about how the field came to be and the financing behind it.
As for Blue Devils. Like most early schools it was derived from the color of the uniforms. They wore blue so it looked like "Blue Devils" running around. This is true for many other schools such as Marion, Richlands, Grundy, Narrows, Wytheville and Galax. Just a variation on what they looked like such as "Hurricane", "Devils", "Waves", etc.

Gate City won’t be a cake walk but flashbacks to last year’s game with Union & ending up with a crippled QB, I wasn’t looking forward to playing them, it’s always so physical and both teams get banged up, lol. Union is just tough. I expect Gate City will come to “Mitchell” to play hard too unless they show up at Ernie Hicks and no one is there. 😂😂😂

Definitely not a better recruiter

49-8 PH

James Monroe is undefeated. Play tomorrow.

I remember when most fans would go watch a game in any weather.

I remember when football was played was in the weather, no matter what it is.

Roane Can not jump Indy. The outcome of the Sissonville - Westside game will Determine 1 and 2

Martinsburg would not play Oak Hill. They would play Morgantown. Oak Hill would be 17th. I just put 17th thru 19th in as context.

Many years ago I used to umpire so I have some experience in softball and baseball. Here is my take of refs....Almost all of them are trying to do a good job. It is much harder to ref football today than it was back in the day. More rules, More open offenses, etc.
The main problem that I see is game management. Marking the ball correctly. Especially on out of bounds punts. The white hats need to do better. Marking penalties. I can't tell you how many times I have seen 5 yd penalties turn into 4 yard or 6 yard penalties. No one seems to want to take the time to measure for a first down. Play clock management. Some refs wait wait too long some way too short. Game control. When things get chippy stop the game and warn both sides and then follow up on your warnings.

What I've noticed is the elephant in the room. Schools only cancel games they can't win.

He is a senior but had never played more than a handful of meaningful downs before this season as a football player.

The refs couldn't be as bad as Virginia. When Bluefield went to Ridgeview last year the penalties were 11-0 in favor of Ridgeview. Called back 3 plays of Bluefield that would have netted over 30 yards.

If Bluefield wins they are in the playoffs. If they lose they are out. I would say it means more to Bluefield.
