The McClanahan kid will come around his dad went to state 3 times in 4 years placed pretty good each time.

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] there's a few guys from richlands who play football on my team in pctn every year.....they're real smart and very fundamental...they have good coaching down there, thats what makes the difference between 8-3 and 14-0.....tazewell has a good coach but i just dont think he knows where to put his players and our offensive imagination is downright awful.....i think the pee wee leagues run more imaginative offenses....lol [/ QUOTE ]\ we could get Harris hart and Tom Keene back for ya. Now there was some imagination!Just imagine what that would be like again! [/ QUOTE ] What ya hating on Tommy for?

There's a McReynolds kid coming up in the next few years that can absolutely sling the ball. He may be 10 or eleven now but watch for him played for the Chiefs this year.

[ QUOTE ] That looks like a typical Buchanan Co. party!! lol [/ QUOTE ] U wouldn't want to offend any Coondoggians would u?

[ QUOTE ] Tazewell's offensive game plan kills them. They need to completely overhaul their offensive system. Mance has a great style of offense, it makes average players look good and good players look great. On Tazewell's 1st possession of the Richlands game they ran an offense similar to what RHS runs and ran straight down the throat of that defense, then for some odd reason the tazewell coaches decided that after moving the ball 40 yds in 4 plays they would start throwing deep......so, if the rhs defense is as good as you guys say and to see how tazewell went straight down the field on them........ummmm yes tazwell does have the better linemen......not better coaching. [/ QUOTE ] Wasn't the 1st 2 plays of the game where the wideout got demoshlished as the ball got there both times?? I thought they punted in that series.

[ QUOTE ] they keep talking about us like their afraid? is it because deep down they know what would happen! [/ QUOTE ] Not afraid we are in different divisions plain and simple. Oh and by the way we went to STATE and WON!!

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] put this to rest [/ QUOTE ] It'll never be put to rest. Damn I wish it would. I think the best that can be done is put the facts straight as best we can. Edit: I think the wish on our part to put this to bed, so to speak, is what many feed on. I think we need to lay all we know out there, relate it to the haters, and then ask everyone to forgive us. [/ QUOTE ] I am not hating on Richlands, nor have I ever. They are a solid football program. I am just trying to learn the truth about what happened and what penalties may have occured. [/ QUOTE ] Richlands did change cleats at halftime. I'm not sure if the officials told them to or if the coaches made the decision themselves. Salem apparently made a similar decision when they chose not to wear the same cleats. They had them in the locker room though from what I understand. I wasn't there. I was living in Richmond and all I got were the scores in the Saturday morning paper. I didn't hear about this issue until I moved back in 1998. It's kept alive by the media and by opposing fans on message boards who think they're being cute when they bring it up. [/ QUOTE ] Big D This is all from memory 14-15 years go but the way I recall it is that Vaught used to coach in the Roanoke Valley and knew all the coaches in the area and someone told him that Salem had ordered the 5/8" cleats from CMT and he went up there and bought them from underneath them because he had a friend @ CMT then his friend rolled on him to Salem. That is the way I heard it. I was @ the game that day it had rained and snowed for a solid 2 weeks the Earnie looked like a sewer leaking into a yard (all black no grass it was a mess) I they both wore 1 1/2" cleats it still would not have helped. As far a the field being watered down I highly doub that fact seeing as it rained all week. The field was covered but there is so much runoff from surraounding areas that it just puddled up @ the Ernie. I also know for a fact that a heliocopter hovered over that field for 2-2 1/2 hours before they played to try and dry it up. So all I have to say is We have 2 State championship teams Everyone Hold your head High Because I witnessed possibly 2 of the greatest Football moments in Richlands history 12-92 and 12-06. WAY TO GO BIG BLUE!!!!!!

Ms. Dean isstill kicking saw her in church a couple o weeks go. Was at a christening for her neighbors daughter. (Bernetta maybe)

Cleatgate is nevermore

I've mentioned it but they want too much money to carry it right now

[ QUOTE ] How about that Recker/ambulance/Pawn shop/Grave plots/body shop Store there off of 460. Thats a classy one shop stop!!! [/ QUOTE ] Forgot the Mufflers and Head stones. LOL

FALCO.....FALCO.....FALCO.....LOL

Where have u been? Honaker?? LOL

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] The game (and thus the hit... make that THE HIT) was televised on tape delay by a Roanoke station. My aunt in Salem was planning to Tivo it for me. I'll let you know when I get it. Also, maybe someone with connections could arrange for Time Warner to air it on a community access channel? [/ QUOTE ] Is that a HINT HINT? LOL [/ QUOTE ] A hint, a question, a request. It's not every day that Richlands goes into Roanoke and wins 44-14 on television. I'm sure the few people who stayed in Richlands would love to see it and I know I would. I wouldn't trade being on the sidelines for anything but it's hard to really watch the game through a viewfinder. [/ QUOTE ] I have E-mailed wvns and asked if they have a clip of that shot that they could send or to post a link for it here.

It took me a while to figure out why the band doesn't play more but I did and I don't like it. [/ QUOTE ] Tell us too

[ QUOTE ] Good luck Blues! win this one so you can bring a championship back to the SWD where it belongs. [/ QUOTE ] Thanks taz_11

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] ahhh vhsdevil is just mad bc his team couldnt get it done..i mean richlands has the best D hands down.... they put up 40 and ur lucky to score...they r the best in swva right now [/ QUOTE ] WHAT!? haha Your an idiot! haha What, in that statement that I made says I'm angry about anything? This thread is asking for an opinion and I gave mine. Don't start crap just because you don't agree. JUST DUMB! Besides we were never lucky to score on Richlands. Va High scored in both games on Richlands 1st team Defense. The 2nd game we scored 2 times on Richlands 1st team defense. BUT WHO CARES, IT'S NOT IMPORTANT! [/ QUOTE ] Va High did not score twice against richlands 1st team defense in the playoff game..they left their starters in the entire game when richlands had their JV team in..they didn't even bother with the 2nd team..it went straight to the JV..and VaHigh threw two long passes tryin to run the score up so it wouldn't look as bad upon them..even though richlands could have held them to zero points and put 100 on them..but we take our starters out when the game is decided which it was decided in the 1st quarter of that game some would say it was decided before the game even kicked off..but nonetheless we took our players out and they left their starters in..and i can understand if they are seniors and playing their last game..but if you are getting it handed to you..its just embarrassin that you leave ur starters in just to make the score closer than what the game really is.. [/ QUOTE ] It was on 1st team D. Never the less

[ QUOTE ] I do agree that it sucks that they got two charter busses the jv team watorboys and some coaches had to be cramped in that activity bus [/ QUOTE ] You won't have that to worry about this year will ya?
