Rural Retreat took the Richlands R thus inheriting all the problems the Blue Tornado are currently suffering from the folks jabbing pins into the navy and silver voodoo doll.
Remember a few years ago when everyone on this board was certain that Richlands and Union were going to meet in Salem and everything in between was a waste of time?
Folks, I have the pleasure of being around a few athletics programs due to my profession and I see an alarming trend going on locally in the aspect of discipline.
Programs that used to have depth and stability no longer have that and are grasping at straws in regard to talent.
If you hold some of these young men accountable, they will leave the program and never return. Sometimes that will snowball to other players leaving, "Come on man, we don't have to put up with this."
With the lack of numbers, I see coaches afraid to be tough to make players better men because they are scared that their numbers will dwindle or at worst their parents will go and cry to an administrator who will back the parent regardless of the situation just to please.
It's not what it used to be and let's not be too fast to blame the kids because a lot of this starts at home.
I can tell you with certainty, he is not at Oak Hill. I know the entire coaching staff (Gold and Red) very well. I sthe Gold team head coach at the golf course almost every Wednesday.
Today at 1pm, the Red Team (Riverheads) is on NFHS against Fauquier (the school in which former Bluefield Beaver local legendary coach John Chmara coached at after leaving Bluefield).
Other Stupid Facts- Fauquier County is where actor Robert Duvall lives and has his gigantic ranch.
Chmara wasn't the only Beaver coach to head up the Fauquier progroam.
