I probably haven't posted on here in the past 5 years, but I do have an argument over the whole recruitment issue. When Christiansburg won their first state title in 2002, it was more or less with hometown boys, such as Anthony Boyd, Bryan Little, B.J. Compton, people like that. And when someone transferred there from Radford or Blacksburg such as Jackie Toney, we called that recruiting! If only we could have seen the near future.. Now here are some statistics for Grundy: 50 some individual AA state champs with 70 some state championship medals. 2 High School National Champions, 2 4x State Champions, State titles in 1978, 1987-1998, 2000 and 2001. All with wrestlers from Vansant, Grundy, Slate Creek to WV line, Big Rock, Harman, and Prater.. How many actual state championship medals came from talent from the Cburg area? I'm not knocking the original state championship team, not knocking any wrestler from Cburg..We all know that the recruiting goes on, It wont be stopped any time soon, and well, somebody else is gonna have to try to step up to the plate and knock christiansburg off the top of the podium! Now, for the 4 wrestlers that won the state title, Congratulations! It's not often that you see 4 wrestlers in the same program with 150+ wins..Sean Van Dyke, Jeremy Hurley, and Cody Rife, along with the other seniors on the team will be sorely missed, but to you boys coming back next year, It's time to dominate..

He fought one fight in KY..amatuer...Aaron is the one that is fighting..hopefully he will make it pro one of these days

Grundy might make it back up one of these days...If I ever get a night off of work I will have to go watch them..might have to take Primetime with me.. This years Grundy team does not lack heart or effort for sure...Grundy in 05'...well..It sucked to be a senior that year...trust me...that team had a LOT of talent..and only 2 or 3 people that cared..what else can you say about a team with 11 seniors the first day of practice...and only 3 left the last game..no heart...at all..everybody wanted to quit..but..for myself..Tigh..and Garon..I'm glad we stuck it out

I don't think that Derek will get the 119 spot..Just my opinion. I think that either way though, their lineup is looking the best it has in a few years..And the best it has for a long time from top to bottom

I guess I should be glad I live in good ole' Grundy intsead of a more "urban" area.. Some of these kids scare me. They walk around looking like a mixture between powder and MC Hammer with the baggy pants they wear..They could at least get a tan and be too legit to quit..haha And for all the people out there that say the music causes this..I am as big of a hick as you will find, and I listen to music that is just as hard as the kids..I just choose not to dress crazy, that is there choice. I played football in school for attention, and they dress weird and talk about killing themselves for it. Some people are just different I guess. Maybe they have a different upbringing, or maybe the music makes them like this, who knows?

[/ QUOTE ] Actually that is a myth within itself, the lark does not live in the Levisa, he lives in the creek below the old Harman 1A mine where mine water runs into the creek nonstop.. Furthermore, Consol Energy is not Dumping saltwater into the Levisa, it is purified in 2 shafts before making its way into a diffuser system at Poe Town.. And, for the Grundy High graduation test, I studied the Book of Plymal for 3 weeks straight, and it never made any sense at all, they just gave me a mining hat, a diploma, and told me to hit the bricks, I wasn't cut out for college GRUNDY WILL BE DISTRICT CHAMPS- Or so I hope

[ QUOTE ] We had 3 ppl win the John S. Battle tourny...and Josh Matney got most outstanding wrestler for the tourny...we also placed 5th in the tourny [/ QUOTE ] Wow...The Battle tournament? You guys should be a shoo in to win the Agie Skeens..haha..Grundy is back..yet again..20 years straight..I don't see the district title changing hands this year

I don't mean to drag a dead horse..but that call of excessive celebrating is the biggest load of horse crap i have ever seen in my life...I agree with John Adams..that is a disgrace to officiating...I would have a hard time sleeping at night if I robbed someone like Burton got robbed...

Tazewell always has some big guys...Luke Dales was the last monster from the weightroom Grundy had..I would guess he benched high 3's...I think Josh "Pugs" McCoy who graduated in 2000 holds it. The coaches always said he got like 450? He was a BEAST..not all that big, not the best player, but he was a man..

[ QUOTE ] Sigh, I give up. [/ QUOTE ] Did Mance personally step on one of your toes or something man? Why all the bad blood? Why try to come back in a game when you know that Richlands will win? Mance did you all a favor and pulled the starters early!!! Terry Smith just showed how classless he was by trying to come back on a JV team..I remember this time two years ago he was the greatest thing since plastic milk jugs and sliced bread..lol And yes, that is why I despise VA High, you all never let the past go..

I'd play if it was on a day I had off from work..it would be nice to get together again though..If I get on 3rd shift I would defintely be in..Hard to tell if I would hold up though..lol

I remember that play..I remember the sound it made...it was one of the nastiest hits i have ever seen..All 220 pounds of Looney laid the smack down on that kid..he never saw it coming..lol.. I do believe myself and one of the other posters on this board contributed on some of those plays..I have always said it, and will say it to this day, if you get Garon Marcum to the Outside untouched, he will make things happen..I wish him well.. My post wasnt directed at all to you Tweeder, it was directed to the VCats punk or whoever it was..Bringing up a game from 2 years ago..and saying Garon wasn't hurt..You would think it was the only game they ever won...Cheese and Whine pantywaists..lol

There are a lot of fault lines people don't realize..small ones that run through coal seams..Don't freak out though, it wasnt an Earthquake, just a HUGE coal bump. The last one that happened was when Buch. 1 caught on fire.

Anthony Church was probably the best lineman Grundy ever had to not go anywhere big...He was a beast..also Jamie Layne from back in the day...died in a hunting accident in deer season his senior year..First Team All State..I seen a picture and heard about Steve Knight...they said he was as big as a Coke machine..lol

Fatboy in the Pothole Mustard or Ketchup

What does it matter where he goes to school? If he chooses to he does, and if not, then he is out making a living for himself, unlike a lot of people do these days..I basically grew up with Garon, all the way through school, and played ball with him as well..But when you have people bringing up stuff about him not going to school anywhere. It point blank pisses me off! What's the matter? Are you all jealous or something? Jealous that he could run over your pansy ass and make you like it? Or break your ankles with a juke step? Most of these people hide behind computers and dream of being as good as the Marcum boys were. Hell I'd give 3 fingers to have half the football talent as one of them. If he goes to Moorehead or Wise, SO WHAT!! At least he will be going to school on football. You all should praise him for that, and praise him for the memories that he gave us on Friday nights, instead of being jealous that he was twice the player that you will ever be...My 2 cents...

After reading the thread about the Richlands Dream Schedule and I thought to myself, "self, here is a matchup for Richlands". My lineup- Coach- Paul "Bear" Bryant Offensive Coordinator- Norv Turner(Cowboy Days) Defensive Coordinator- Romeo Cornell Manager- Emmett Brown from Back to the Future Offensive Line- Mostly 96 Grundy, with some 74 Gate City Mixed in QB- Jason Copenhaver- Grundy FB- Edd Clark RB- Thomas and Julius Jones- We will run the Wishbone Alternating with Scammell, Bradshaw, Brannon Breeding and Garon Marcum WR- Paco Jones and Reed Oakes when the crap gets thick and we have to go the I...might go trips with Julius playing Flanker Defense-89 Graham...'nuff said I say we get a Schoolbus with a Flux Capacitor and see what happens...My guess SWVA All Time 7 Richlands 0...in Double OT...

More than likely a longwall panel settling around 1800 feet underground in either Buch. 1, or an old Island Creek mine..Nothing to be alarmed about..Probably shook some houses though..lol

I would have to either go with Bruce McClanahan, or Bobby Joe Peck Stephens. With those two alone, I see Grundy going to the state Semi's, with a close loss to Martinsville..If you don't believe me, go check on the Grundy thread on the next page...

Council is in the middle of nowhere anyways. It would be at least an hour in a bus to the top of Lover's Gap, and that is from Davenport..It would be closer for those kids to go to Honaker or Haysi. The school will most likely retain the Grundy name..What else will they call it? Smiley Ratliff high school?

I'll state this fact...99% of the Seniors from a year ago didn't have an ounce of heart, and you were left with 2 or 3 that actually cared if the team won or lost..no leadership at all..This year, your starters at the beginning of the season have no expierecnce, and don't really know what it is like to win a game. I think that the majority of the players that are out now, are not experienced enough to play in the SWD. Grundy might be down, but they are not out...

Vansant pride!! When I played you had Vansant, Grundy, Harman and Hurley...Vansant was stacked...both Marcums, Matt Lee, A.W. Looney, Jimmy Penley...We basically named the score
