Whitewood entered BDD football play in 1992 and remained until consolidation with Garden to form Twin Valley. Never won the district.

Nice informative article about local sportwriter, author and friend to so many throughout our region. The guy needs as much encouragement and financial help as he can get, say a prayer and if possible send a donation. http://www.bdtonline.com/sports/column-combs-faces-long-rehab-from-stroke/article_b79feb34-902e-11e6-8113-fbd425dee552.html

Wrestling conditioning trumps anything Richlands brings to the table, Grundy by as many as they wish! (sarcasm intended)

What if this is the "new normal?"

If my memory serves me correct, there was some rather "hard blowing," during the pre-season when I posted the following and you added your 2 cents worth! http://www.swvasports.com/ipb/index.php?/topic/34852-1a-football/?p=342283 I think you called the prediction "OUTLANDISH." In your own words, "You don't watch much high school football in southwest va do ya? If my prediction. has led you to that assessment, I can only imagine how little you must watch. This isn't about NEXT YEAR, this is about THIS YEAR, I called it, and you considered it "OUTLANDISH." Just own it and lets move on..... LOL http://www.swvasports.com/ipb/index.php?/topic/34852-1a-football/?p=342283

http://fundly.com/lloyd-combs-recovery-fund Guys, Longtime sportswriter, author, columnist and radio personality, Lloyd Combs, recently suffered from a debilitating stroke. Many of you are probably familiar with his work and articles that often appear in the Bluefield, Bristol and Virginia Mountaineer newspapers. He has covered sports in the region for several decades. Lloyd is currently undergoing rehab and the doctors are optimistic that he will be walking soon with the assistance of a cane. Presently, he does not have the use of his right arm/hand and it is expected that he will recover some use of it, however it will take longer and more extensive rehab to regain the use of his arm/hand. Naturally, this setback has created a ton of issues for Lloyd and he is in dire need of help from his friends and family members. We have established a FUNDLY account for Lloyd and we are asking for assistance with medical billing and with his hopeful and eventual move back toward independence. Lloyd is working hard, he is frustrated, scared and fearful of what his future may hold, he has no desire to let this defeat him, but he really needs our encouragement! I am taking this opportunity to challenge the members of this board, to PLEASE consider a donation to his account, PLEASE consider thoughtful prayers on his behalf and if nothing else, please post a comment on his Fundly Page to encourage him to keep fighting! Here is the link: fundly.com/lloyd-combs-recovery-fund Once again, please consider a donation, of any size! Keep Lloyd in your prayers! Please Sign his Fundly Wall and offer a word or two of encouragement for him! Lloyd has done so much over the years to help promote local teams, schools and athletes, so lets let him know that he has a support team behind him, helping him get through this very tryin

When I say area, I am not referring to all of SWVA. I am speaking of the immediate area, and referencing 1A football. Take it with a grain of salt, but they are going to be deeper, and they will be much better. I've got more orange flowing through my veins than "Rebel Red," but, I call it like I see it. Trust me, I wouldn't be saying this if I didn't think that they hadn't turned the corner. No disrespect to Honaker or anyone else locally.

Not with the added reinforcements! This isn't wishful thinking, as I could care less. But, Hurley will be the best team in the area this coming season. I am not from Hurley and I don't have a dog in the fight. But, trust me on this one, this is the year that the death grip is loosened and the title moves to Buchanan County.

The near 30 year streak of Honaker or Haysi winning the District/Conference, will end this year! Naturally, Haysi is gone. But, with Honaker still standing firm at the top, this will be a pretty big deal for the team that snaps the streak. Hurley

I understand completely, but this time its for good. The decrease in enrollment and the good 'ol days of Grundy being in the SWD are over unless, the entire SWD eventually loses enrollment and it becomes primarily a 1A district. I don't see consolidation in the future, even though it should probably be on the table, that is one thing that could put em back in the SWD.

ABING"TON" LEBNUN or LEBINGNON and the one that absolutely killed me back in the day Cancel (Council)

BIG DIFFERENCE Between A and AA Ridgeview will be very good, but they will discover that there is a big difference in advancing in the playoffs in AA. However, I do think they will have one of the top 3 or 4 teams in the region in AA. This is no offense to Single A at all, I've coached in both divisions, in AA the competition out East and I would argue right here in our own back yard is much better at the AA level. Sure some A schools can consistently compete with AA, my comments are in regards to a general observation regarding both A and AA.

Interesting to note, that the most successful programs have had a strong tendency to have consistency and stability with long term coaches. Schools, that have a constant coaching carousel are traditionally not as successful.

45-18 Richlands Why? I flipped a coin, it landed on heads, which was designated for Richlands. Why the score? Because I am 45 years old and I got the number 18 based on the fact that my favorite dog lived to be 18 years old. so much for stats and probability.......

According to administration, several individuals have been recommended for the job, all recommendations have been squashed by board or members thereof. This past week, another name was brought forth, but I have not heard anything else.
