Finish what you start. You're blessed enough to have an 11th game, give it everything you've got, even if the outcome is certain. There'll come a day when you wish you could lace up those cleats again.

slow up guys, my popcorn is not ready yet.

Richlands has no excuse for not having a running game. They have had multiple games to develop a running game (Gate City, Virginia High, Bluefield,  Tazewell, Grundy) They have a a few guys who could play running back. Dylan Elswick for example, which has always played RB until the past year. Sure Codie Howie will make a good running back, but it will be obvious to what Richlands will be running when he goes from WR to RB. Well they are moving Howie to running back must be planning to throw it deep. I mean come on. 

tough

Best thing that could happen for Hurley

FUDGE!!!!
 
Graham announcers talking about nachos and chili/cheese...CAN WE PLEASE HAVE ANNOUNCERS WITHOUT HEARING ABOUT FOOD IN THE STANDS!!!!
 
Canceling the radio advertising on Monday!!!

Pretty sure Graham thumped you. I vividly recall it.

Maybe they should avoid using the snow plow on the turf this year..... that was a horrible mistake.... Bluefield College should pony up for part of the cost of replacement.

Haha!
 
Wait.
 
You might be serious...

Can't beat a Jim McVey hot dog at Ernie Hicks.

I miss the gray haired lady at Ervinton that gave you down the road no matter what.  The water standing on the elevated baseball infield at St. Paul but not the rest of the field.  The wildcat sounds at Pound.  JJ Kellys announcer calling out every play even though you shouldnt during the play.  The ambiance of Ralph Cummins Field.   A Haysi fan or three literally right in your ear while awaiting an extra point.  The three course meal the fine folks at Appalachia had awaiting you, one part pregame, one part halftime and more after the game.  

Correct.  For those of us who played in the HOGO the regional tournaments were weird.  We were all in Region C but felt like we should have been Region D, 90% (the other 10% GW & RR played Reg. C) of or our non district games were against Region D.  Then if you made the playoffs or regional tournament you rarely had a rematch unless you re-matched with someone in the district.

Same sh1t, different year. Whiny parents, arm chair quarterbacks, & entitled gray heads won't ever win Tazewell a football game. If they get out of the way then maybe the kids could be the change they all want.
 
Tazewell needs dedication and unity from the entire community if they ever want their kids to get a fair shake.

Giles product Brian Mann broke the Ferrum single game rushing record Saturday with 254 yards on 33 carries.

Graham played Double A with Single A numbers for over 30 years.....they petitioned to play up..nobody complained then... Grundy and Graham consistently had the lowest single A numbers....lower than dozens of the single A schools at that time.
 
When they changed the enrollment numbers for  classifications the first time...Graham was forced to play DOWN to A...(It was called Division 2...It was single A-Division 2.... they re-aligned again and Graham was moved back to 2A...which is STILL basically single A-Division 2.... Remember there are 6 Divisions now....they have 500+ kids consistently in that school....... yet I constantly hear complaints from the fans of schools with 400+ complaining that they shouldn't be playing them because they are too "big"....  Good Lord... Graham had to play schools with 2 or 3 times their enrollment during the regular season and in the playoffs for years and I didn't hear all of this whining.  I think in the state title game in 2001 (They were Division 3 at the time...should have been D-2)... Harrisonburg had about 1200 kids.....and Graham had around 500 (maybe less) at that time...
 
They aren't a "big" 2A school at present time.... they are actually in the lower half.
 
 
I'm tired of hearing this argument about them being 2A...  2A is not like AA used to be.  1A and 2A are basically the old single A schools, Graham is where they belong now.......  There are so many 1A and 2A teams in close proximity to each other around here.... of course they should get 2A points.  

12+ hours??? Did you take a detour through Charlotte?

No a big ass van with like 12 people. You could prob make it in 8, 8.5 hours if you drove straight.

If he had my mother with him, it probably took 12 hours. May she rest in peace.

12+ hours??? Did you take a detour through Charlotte?

You shouldn't be so dramatic...WP is 4-3 this season...

And if I were sexier and more endowed, I'd be a porn star. 
 
But I'm not.

Oddly enough, I am sympathetic to the plight of Abingdon.  The Falcons are at a significant competitive disadvantage within their assigned classification, and that is mostly due to geography.  My reference to Lee County was intended to illustrate the point that Abingdon is effectively the end of Virginia as viewed by the rest of the teams within 3A.  The actual truth of the matter is that the rest of the Commonwealth generally has neither the inclination or the motive to give Abingdon any consideration at all.  I refrained from sharing that because it seemed indelicate to do so.  Alas.....
 
I've actually given consideration of my own to a consolidated school that would serve the western portion of Tazewell County.  My proposal would be to construct it somewhere in the vicinity of Pounding Mill and apply that community's name to the school.  Furthermore, I would suggest "Quarriers" as a nickname for the athletic teams and usage of the USFL Pittsburgh Maulers logo.  But I will readily admit that "Blue Dogs" is a very clever suggestion.
 
I would not advocate for any punitive action to be taken against this (or any other poster), as I do not find the comments to be threatening to my personal sensibilities or intellect in any way.

Richlands started running the spread in 03.

If Hurley makes it to the state-championship and they are the 1 seed, they should host all the way.
 
Plenty of East teams have hosted with smaller stadiums than the Cliff and with a lot less "polite" fan bases. 
 
If you don't like how it is, go bitch on VAPreps about it.
