Didn't Richlands play some school from Indiana in the late 80s/early 90s???
Providence, IN in 1995.
I've always heard a few different stories on how the game came to be and a few things that transpired after the fact but I have never had those stories confirmed.
We’re still working backchannels to find something closer than Keyser. Schools just aren’t picking up the phone, despite openings. Somewhat of a backhanded compliment, means Tazewell’s not a creampuff.
Yeah, I heard the Patriots and Packers have declined an offer to play the Bulldogs.
Steelers and Cowboys are on the fence though.
Maybe they'll be competitive enough to have the Dawgs primed for a 1 and done playoff push...

Like most schools Graham did not have a mascot until 1929 when they were called the Panthers. In 1931 the team was called the Bears. 1935 is the first mention of G-Men.
I took a time travel once back to the fall of 1929.
I said to a nice gentleman I met, "What time do the Blue Tornado and G-Men kickoff?"
They played Halifax in 1968 and 1969. The previous two years they played Harrisonburg.
The Southwest District played at the highest level of competition within Virginia from its inception in 1956 until the classification overhaul by the VHSL in 1970. Eligibility for postseason honors had a requirement of playing a certain number of other schools at the Division 1 level (I think that was what it was called). Since that number was beyond the membership of the SWD, a lot of SWD schools scheduled regular series against the Roanoke schools and E.C. Glass for most of the 1960s. In the later portion of that decade there was usually a playoff between the SWD and the Western District (centered in the Roanoke area) that was also included. That created a scramble to find the minimum number of opponents to meet the postseason eligibility requirement which led to some odd intersectional matchups in the final years of the old classification system.
I can only imagine the bitching we'd hear from parents if a trip to Harrisonburg or Lynchburg was on the regular-season docket.
Chris Akers is like some if y'alls hottest girlfriend from college that is now thriving while you continue to look across the dinner table at a monster who never had a prime.
