  1. Wrong link. Here is the correct one. https://youtu.be/3YVeZ3ctPV0
  2. For the record Graham didn’t beat the Beavers back to back in 2005-06. In 2005 they played twice with Beavers winning the second game.
  3. Probably because when that roster was printed he played for the Beavers.
  4. Yep those officials were something else. Especially that one wearing #28. He even set out the first quarter. Imagine if he had officiated the entire game.
  5. Live ball fouls can offset in High School football, but you are correct that dead ball fouls should be administered separately and in the order of occurrence.
  6. The late Ray Brooks designed the G Star. He was a TV personality on the WHIS TV (now WVVA). Formerly a member of Snoop and Scoop fame.
  7. In the scrimmage each team was given 10 plays on offense to work their first squads against the other team’s first squad defense. After a swap, the second units faced off for five plays. Players were substituted early and often throughout the contest. The junior varsity Cougars took the field first, facing off with Bluefield. Each team scored a touchdown in the contest. The Cougars faced off with Magna Vista in their final session, scoring one touchdown while allowing none by the Warriors. The other JV contest saw the Bluefield squad run over Magna Vista, scoring multiple touchdowns. The varsity portion of the day started with the Cougars facing Magna Vista. Senior quarterback Kade Akers connected with Kent State bound E.J. Horton on a long touchdown pass that was called back and later Akers ran for what appeared to be another touchdown, extending the ball across the goal line and knocking the pylon down, but the official ruled it out of bounds. Senior Noah O’Dell also had a catch and sophomore running back Jakari Finley, junior Gage Mannon and junior Luke Russell had good runs throughout the day. In their second scrimmage the Cougars faced Bluefield. More ground game by Finley and Mannon, along with a pass from Akers to Horton were good signs, but neither of teams first units were able to score. The Beavers were able to score a late touchdown with their second unit offense. With the controlled portion of the day ended, the three teams went to a more game-like situation. The Cougars started against Magna Vista. Their opening drive was a mix of running and passing that ended when Akers hit Horton for a four-yard scoring pass. Ryan Castle hit the point after kick to give the Cougars a 7-0 lead. Magna Vista got the ball next, but the Cougar defense took over on downs quickly. One of the few mistakes of the day came when a pass from Cougar junior quarterback Chris Shay was picked off at the Cougar 45-yard line. The Cougar defense again held strong, getting the ball back for the offense. After a Pulaski County punt, the Warriors tried to push the ball in for the tying score, but the Cougar defense stepped up again, breaking up a pass on fourth down and goal to end the game. In the final matchup of the day the Cougars faced off again with Bluefield. Both teams showed solid ground attacks and passing games, but neither was able to put the ball into the endzone until the Beavers scored late against the Cougar second defensive unit.
  8. Fred Simon hands down! 4-6 last year 12-0 this year.
  9. That scoreboard has been out of whack for going on three years now. No excuse for it! Typical however for the City of Bluefield. Maybe the new City Manager will jack them up. Also the turf looks awful and is in serious need of grooming.
  10. Bluefield played James Monroe for many years while they ran the single wing so I know that is not the reason they have never played.
  11. Why would Graham go for two on the first touchdown of the game? That really cost them.
  12. You are not mistaken and it looked like an instant replay to me. Both went down the home side line to the house. De ja vue all over again as Yogi Berra says. That bunched kick off that the Beavers use leaves them vulnerable to a return unless the kicker can really "place" the ball where it needs to go.
  13. Don't forget to wear your nice "business suit" too.
  14. There has always been a rule in high school football that requires the use of chinstraps. No official would ever let a play start with either a chinstrap unfastened or a mouth piece dangling. The problem is that a lot of programs do not know how to properly fit the kid for a headgear and the suspension is either over inflated or under inflated. I think this new rule will hopefully correct that and both coaches and players will recognize the importance of a properly fitted head gear.
  15. Pretty sure the closest Curt Warner ever got to Mitchell Stadium was a regular season game in Pocahontas.
