  1. Would those kids choose soccer over football if soccer was in the fall? The point being, a football program can survive without a few soccer players. Spring sports are spread thin.
  2. So, is Trivette coming to Central to play football?
  3. Let's be real though. Most kids who play soccer aren't playing football other than being a kicker/punter. Kicking/punting can be practiced anytime, therefore a kid could practice both sports in an afternoon and no soccer is being played on a Friday. Baseball and even softball for that matter lose kids to soccer because they can't do both for the most part as games/practices happen at the same time.
  4. ^ This. Soccer should be in the fall. Baseball is killing themselves with the bat rules. Forcing folks to spend $200-$500 every year for bats is criminal.
  5. I've heard from a really good source that it could be finished and played on at the end of this season. This should have been done 20 years ago and in honesty I think it will bring interest back to baseball in Richlands.
  6. Snails pace, like everything else around here.
  7. Just paint the gravel green and blue and call it a day. It'll make the kids tougher in the long run.
  8. Grim news this morning seeing that prolific kicking coach Doug Blevins has passed. Heard they found cancer on him too late. He is the second coaching legend with local ties to pass this week. Tony Colobro passed earlier this week as well. Coach Colobro had his hand on a number of programs, both high school and collegiate and was a tremendous man. RIP to these two great men.
  9. Soccer may the worst waste of resources on the planet.
  10. What if VA High protested playing JM and didn't go the Richmond?
  11. I remember when half of the Euro League played at Twin Springs... But yeah, this doesn't happen anywhere other than at John Marshall.
  12. I heard that no one could agree on a venue change so it reverted back to Gate City. And I thought the only time coaches couldn't agree was in all-district meetings...
  13. I'm sure any kid would choose playing at WVU or Marshall over Charleston.
  14. They also say he owned part of The Cricket in Pocahontas before its demolition.
  15. Once he takes a bite of a Big Pal with Cheese and some Frenchy Fries he'll be on board.
  16. Maybe now we can get one of those urban paintings on the side of the Gate City Pal's with Mac and Shaq back to back...
  17. Yeah, having both in one location just makes it a tremendous environment for everyone involved.
  18. The fact that both boy's and girl's tournaments aren't in the same location is a huge mistake.
  19. Some of these kids have a terrible group of people surrounding them as well. They hitch to the kid's wagon in hopes of some huge NIL deal or even further, NFL contract. They will put thoughts in the kid's head that they are a P5 talent or the League is a no doubt outcome to their career. I see it damn near every day and the kid is the one who suffers in the end.
