IF they go to 1A then they are where they have to be in the BDD, but if they stay 2A for whatever reason, they should be in the SWD. 
 
They should have never been put in the BDD in the first place as a 2A school...Christian Jackson should have been on one of the "all something" teams this year, kid is all state caliber WR and DB but got nothing.
 
I thought the entire point of the VHSL changes was to force people to play where they are classified...then you see the SWD get busted up and Grundy stuck in a 1A district as a 2A team. Why bother?  8 to 10 team SWD would solve a lot of problems...and as that goes, the VHSL should go back to the format where winning your district gets you in to the playoffs, then points for the remaining slots...this crap with 1-9 teams going to play 10-0 teams in first round is a waste, not everyone should make the playoffs or have that shot only the best of the bunch. Larger 8+ team districts would breed better competition at a local level, remove schedule issue, and restore traditional rivals...but, whatever...VHSL never has done anything right so why start now.

Grundy and Graham have been near or at the same level for years...they are either too big for A or too small for AA...pick or choose...if they make the cut at AA by the numbers they should both be in the SWD...I've hated every single second of Grundy not being in the SWD and will continue to do so until it's back...if that never happens then so be it...but, it still sucks.

Grundy should be in the SWD...don't give a dying rats ASS what anyone else thinks or says.

Grundy has a great passing game, they have two or three kids that can throw the ball well...they have Christian Jackson who is one of the best WR's in this area bar none, they have Wolford and Coleman who are both great WR's...they just choose not to use it for some reason. I don't know why...maybe they just can't get time to throw it? I don't know. If I was Grundy, I'd be throwing the shit out of the ball every week and running somewhere other than up the gut unless it was just wide open or I saw something on film that made me think i could. I'd get the ball out in space and try to let some of the kids make some plays.
 
They can't or don't tackle very well...I don't know why. Coach Ward pretty much tells them exactly where the ball is going and they either get there and don't wrap up or they don't get there and get run over...one of the two...end result is they make average high school RB's look like Barry Sanders. I don't know why.
 
Grundy has a good team, great bunch of kids, they are just not playing very well right now...I don't know why.
 
Just my opinion...and frustrations...don't let it make you butt hurt.

Richlands does have some of the best players from all over several states though...they stay loaded.

The fact someone actually made a post about this says something.

Also...Grundy is very young...mostly 9th and 10th graders...this year things are better, next two years they should continue to improve. I think they had about 30-35 kids dressed out last week. 
 
It's important to keep expectations for this year realistic, but the kids are playing good ball right now...I wouldn't look past them or assume anything ...and you'd better hope you don't have an "off night" against them...they have some of the same kids that are State Champion wrestlers playing so they have a few really well conditioned kids....and they don't know or understand what quit means.

RHYMES DO NOT WORK THAT WAY!!!

BlueRazor is a class act...I read that message when you reported it and I didn't think it was a threat at all...I think maybe you just took it that way, and I can see why...but knowing him I know it for sure was not a threat. 
 
As far as the "Private Messages" go...thats exactly what they are for...don't air it out here...keep it "Private"...really this has just been blown out of context at this point...and there is no reason for it to have been.
 
Let that stuff go and move on at this point, not really even worth talking about it anymore...I'd hate to close off the topic but if that's what we have to do then so be it.
 
Get back to the conversation and let the other stuff go, you guys are both Richlands fans, no need to hate each other...find someone in Tazewell to hate lol. (J/K)
 
Glad that's over...

nothing more rewarding than teaching yourself how to play guitar...just have to stick with it...practice practice practice...key to it all.
