I'm sure that will be civil and reasonable.

The main problem with the Richlands football program at the moment is that there are no longer 5 to 6 pee wee and midget teams in town. The high school program did well when Richlands had a solid pee wee program. A few folks thought it was beneficial for kids to win instead of develop, so the program was diminished to two teams. With more kids on the sidelines and not getting the reps, it's fairly easy to see why kids on Friday nights have no real feel for the game. Anyone who has ever been around sports knows that sometimes, the 'studs' at age ten don't pan out to be that type of dominating player at the varsity level. Likewise, kids who may be undersized or underdeveloped in their early years grow into their bodies by high school and become D1-type players (i.e., Austin Fuller) Until the powers that be in Richlands realize that more teams allow more kids to participate, learn, and grow in football, the Blue Tornado program will continue the trend that no one really thought we would see.

Will it be at Peking or Dairy Queen? And will Craig Plymal be signing autographs?

Which games are being played in streams?

It's comical that people moved the games to tonight. It looks as if the weather will be out of the area Friday by 6pm.

A crew out of Montana should be called upon for every Beaver/Graham game.

Things like this make too much sense in SWVA, that's why it'll never happen.

"Wonder why these kids nowadays are so soft?" This is why.

7-3 may keep Lebanon from crying to go down to Class 1...

I would even add to this saying that the kids around the Breaks and Big Rock area may end up at East Ridge as well.

So, to clarify, Grundy is setting up year 2 of the cycle for Southern Gap. How is this working out for TV and Hurley? One would think that those two would have a tough time with their schedules in '25, as those opponents know they'll be left without a game or two in '26.

No matter what, the press box at the football stadium needs to be named the, 'Lloyd Combs Pressbox.'

With the game in Abingdon it'll more than likely be 'Disney on Grass' or something of that nature. Or, better yet, they may just parade the Trivett girl around the track during halftime just to shove that in our face again.

We strictly do pre-1989 Joel in Richlands, sir.

"Richlands offense will take shape when Hell freezes over..." I like our chances!
