I'm guessing Coach Williams went Chernobyl in the locker room at half time.

Might be the dumbest looking UVA team I've ever seen.  Welsh would've had a stroke an hour ago.

Dumb teams do dumb team things.

In recent years, 21 points would have been a good half-season for Narrows...

Thankfully, a school is about much more than athletics or just football.  Academically, Narrows thru last year is doing quite well academically.  Now, the question eventually becomes what makes sense in regards to the students of the county and to the finances of the county and keeping that balance.  Given the way the administration from the county handled the PR with the last principal at Narrows, the ten commandments situation and other things, I have lil faith in the school board to make a decision worth a damn on their own.  
 
In short, I perfectly understand why they're happy with 1-9.  I also wouldn't be a bit surprised if their athletic success, or lack thereof, plays a part in closing the place.  That's what I would expect from the dipsh*ts in Pearisburg.

While im not there I would hope that Narrows would completely dominate Hurley or it's gonna be a long long year in big green country

I have to tip my hat to Coach Williams.  He saw that his coaching style and staff selections were largely a poor fit for Graham, and he had the fortitude to step down rather than continue with an experiment doomed to be unsuccessful.  I only wish the coaches of my college and professional football teams would have similar convictions.  Williams appears to be a strong, Christian man who legitimately loves Bluefield and the kids he teaches and coaches.
 
I wish it had worked out for him, but I have nothing but praise for him recognizing it and doing the best thing for everyone involved.
 
Best of luck, Coach.  Thank you for your time and dedication to Graham High School football.

Wouldn't be surprised if Haysi had more fans there than Essex.

Sup_rbeast,
 
on behalf of the Giles fan base, I'd like to apologize to you for the name calling (idiot, clown).  Most of us have a little more brass than that. 
 
We're all hurting over this past week's loss.  Having come through the program many years ago, this loss hurt about as bad as the one that ended my own career, because I feel we lost to a team that was not quite as good as ours.  Football is weird in that way.  I make no excuses though.  The team we beat 3 weeks ago 33-0 was the same as the one that beat us last week, except for one DT, MLB, and DB, and I'll stand now and say that those 3 players didn't swing the game from 33 in our favor to 35 in theirs.  Bottom line is we played our worst game in 2 years, and Glenvar played their best, maybe ever.  It's been said football is a game of inches.  If Glenvar's QB had been a few inches off, if a ball or two would have bounced differently, I'm not gonna say we would have won, but the outcome may have been different.  I would even go so far as to say that if these two teams played this Saturday, that the outcome may be completely different.  But all of these are mute at this point.  It doesn't matter now.  Glenvar came in with a game plan, and nothing to lose and everything to gain mentality, and executed it flawlessly.  Scoring 21 points in 14 seconds at the end of the 1st half, I doubt Jamies Winston could have brought his team back from that.  I watched the entire Glenvar/Union game film, and like you, wasn't impressed by Glenvar whatsoever, and I was confident as a Christian holding 4 aces, that this was going to be a repeat of 3 weeks prior.  But the way they came out and executed, I don't believe anyone in 2A could have beat them Saturday. 
 
Coach Ragsdale taught us that football is a metaphor for life.  I've seen several of those parallels because of this game.  First one, is watching the majority of our own fans head for the gate with about 8 minutes left in the 4th QTR, which I thought was poor to say the least.  I hope the name caller here wasn't one of them.  Second one, is winning 27 straight and then getting discredited(by you) for botching up one.   you know, we should really take a minute to think that we're discussing 16, 17, and 18 year old kids.  And to our own fair weather fan base, and talking to some of the kids afterwards, walking out on them with time left on the clock didn't go unnoticed, but hopefully they will see that as one of the many life lessons that can learned from playing this game.
 
To Richlands and Glenvar, good luck here on out.  To everyone else, best of luck next season.

TD Dixon for Galax.  2pt. conversion was good.  28-21 Galax.  3 minutes to play.

Dixon rumbled for another score.  Extra point blocked though.

No way in hell did I see this coming.  Congrats Glenvar on the win and Congrats to Giles for the win, the streak and the fine season.

Ladies and gentlemen, I have been to the Great Wall of China, I have seen the Pyramids of Egypt, I've even witnessed a grown man satisfy a camel.
But never in all my years as a sportscaster have I witnessed something as improbable, as impossible, as what we've witnessed here today!

I bet Gate City wouldn't have a .500 record against Narz if they played now....and Narz's one win was in 1979 I think maybe 1978 when Narz was hell on wheels with Rusty Cook......and if Gate City plays Giles they may get to .500 against us...they are a very good team this year no doubt

Congrats g-men
 
Just glad Narrows competed after some the games they've had this year.

Graham 28
Narrows 20

Congrats to the Pee Wee Bluefield Mintuemen and Midget Peterstown Pirates to their hard earned championships.
 
And congrats also the Pee Wee Peterstown Pirates and Midget Narrows Green Wave for their great 1 loss seasons.
 
It was chilly, wet and windy but two good games to go see and watch the little guys play.

It's football.  Fields are supposed to be torn up.  It's an all-element game.  

And give the powers that be in Charlottesville, with the track record of brilliant ideas they've had, the power to put everything at one site?  Hampton would be our Wheeling. No thank you. I'll pass.
