Heard through the grapevine that late last night some guys in Red Ash were cooking meth and actually made an Ernie Hicks hologram so... I think we've found our coach.
The picture above is from a Division 2 game in 1993. The seating specifications for D2 and D4, the division Grundy and Salem we're in, we're a little more, plus Grundy only had seating on one side.
Also, the matchup between Grundy/Salem came a few years after the infamous game in Richlands so I'm sure Salem were going to make a fuss about anything down this way given the chance.
Had this been on the old field at Grayson, I would give the Blue Devis the edge but with the new turf, I expect Bluefield to utilize their speed rather easy Friday.
Also, Fred Simon has 299 career wins going into this one...
I know Vaught was brought up earlier. Had that guy stayed out of his own way, he could have won multiple titles at Richlands. He was building something special when the town and school had the resources to help him.
If I'm not mistaking his son got two flags Friday for arguing with the officials and will be suspended for a game. Lack of discipline runs rampant on this team. There is no structure from the top down. Assistant coaches should never be on the field protesting a call, to me that is the HC's responsibility. People have been wondering why all the flags for personal penalties, well, here's your sign, coaches undesciplined, players will follow. HC said after game that he was giving the players a day off but would be cooking pancakes, eggs, and ham to entice the players to get into the weight room, (are you serious???) Come on man, you're the coach, demand that your players get in the weight room, and tell them, no weight training, no game play, BE THE COACH, not their buddy. Yes, I'm venting, been a blues fan for many years, and in my opinion, this is the worst coachhing staff I've ever seen at RHS. If I'm wrong, I apoligize, but a rose is a rose even if it's called by another name and no matter how much perfume you spray on a pile of poop, it doesn't take away the stink.
Times have changed man. You can't go demanding anything of these kids anymore, they either want to do it or they don't. You can't 'punish' kids anymore otherwise they'll just quit and if you've looked on the sidelines lately, Richlands football doesn't have 70 kids dressed anymore.
