Just wish Buchanan County would look at what the rest of swva has done by consolidating schools. As of today, the enrollment for the entire county for 9-12 is 870! They are spread out over the county in FOUR high schools! (with Grundy down to 430)
Graham, Tazewell, Richlands, Va High, Marion, Grayson County are SWD. Everyone else go to form Highlands. What is strange is Va.High Passes by three schools (John Battle, Abingdon,Lebanon) on the way to their district games! Neither of those three wanted to come to SWD.

Buchanan County has roughly 890 high school students 9-12 spread out over 4 high schools. There are very few counties this side of Lynchburg that have 4 schools in their county! The ones that do are pushing anywhere from 2500 to over 3000 students in 9-12. Politics in Buchanan County continue to hold our students back. Every year, one of the county teams folds a sport in the spring due to lack of numbers, this to the blind eyes of the ones who can do something about it. Instead they have fought over a elementary school of 70 students, trying to re-open it! SMH….. No SMDH!!!!
Three, actually. Not enough room in the press box for all of 'em. Binoculars come in handy when you're up in the field house. And two of 'em could actually rem. what The Ernie was like 20+ years ago.
No need for name calling, sir. As one of those "idiots", we were simply describing the field conditions to our listeners since it played a significant role in the game for both teams. I don't believe we placed blame on anyone but Mother Nature. My apologies if you took our descriptions personally or if you are in some way responsible for the field conditions.
I think there were two stations that carried the game! If the shoe does not fit, then do not wear it!!! The station I listened to continued with their tongue in cheek comments, if not your station, do not worry about it!
Really......cleat gate again.......is that all you can say.......you know, I don't think there were a lot of the Blues fans complaining, as a matter of fact, a lot of us were saying how we use to enjoyed playing in the mud and snow and other bad conditions ! I think you need to go back and reread the thread. No Richlands fan complained on here. Razor was just saying what Mance had said, and I think any good coach would be worried about his players in those conditions the week before the playoffs.
You should had listened to the idiots on the radio!! They complained enough for everyone in Tazewell County!
bunch of pics from the game if anyone wants to see the mud.
I don't know what the complaining is all about, the Richlands kids seemed to enjoy it as much as the Grundy kids did last night...I know when I played, I would have loved it. They were sliding around in it after the game.
Let me know if that link doesnt work...i set the album to public so everyone should be able to see it.
I think some of the people from Richlands have forgotten that they won a state championship with field conditions at Richlands similar to the ones last night at Grundy. Salem complained about how bad the field was after they played Richlands so much that the VHSL changed the way teams could host championship games. The fans from Richlands complained about how Salem was city folk and that was the way football should be played. How times have changed, I guess Richlands has become city folk! Not to mention this was the basis for "cleat gate". Last night, Richlands was by far a better team, and showed class by not running up the score. It is a given if you play Grundy late in the year at Grundy, the field is going to be a mess. It is called adapting to playing conditions!
Not trying to get stuff started smarty pants. That's exactly what he said! Believe me...I know him way better than you and not trying to get anything started.
That's funny stuff. Was with coach Mance for an hour before game. Said it brought back the way football should be played! And there is grass on the field!! Do not try to get shit started when you have no clue!!
WVNS is the Bluefield area's local station now. WVVA could care less about Bluefield.
GMan, I thought you might like this tidbit from the radio people who carry Graham's games. They called Grundy High School on Monday of last week requesting a hook up in the press box to carry the Graham At Grundy football game on the 19th. Had to be told that Grundy was coming to Mitchell Stadium!
Just some questions about this bothers me. 1. Was this act done on school grounds? 2. Did this act happen during school time? 3. Have they had their day in court? 4. Why would the school have anything to do with this, if the answer is no, to the first 3 questions? I am old school and think they should had their tails blistered along with going back to each place and replace any damages. If it were one of my sons, the school would not have to suspend him, I WOULD!! Once again the parents need to parent and not expect the school to parent for them!
