I've seen posts from this very board posted in locker rooms at Richlands.

Football not played in the rain now a days? 

Also...Grundy is very young...mostly 9th and 10th graders...this year things are better, next two years they should continue to improve. I think they had about 30-35 kids dressed out last week. 
 
It's important to keep expectations for this year realistic, but the kids are playing good ball right now...I wouldn't look past them or assume anything ...and you'd better hope you don't have an "off night" against them...they have some of the same kids that are State Champion wrestlers playing so they have a few really well conditioned kids....and they don't know or understand what quit means.

Since college I have said that Tennessee, Kentucky, West Virginia, and maybe North Carolina should claim which parts of SWVA they want.  
They don't care about us.

Dang! That looks like a bunch of middle school kids. Please tell me that isn't the TW varsity team...

Welcome to the board...
 
Now leave. 

No.

Kind of a interesting point here with VA High ranked above Richlands right now. I know it's early but that just goes to show how valuable it is to play a good Northeast Tennessee team, something I wish Richlands would do. 

And that in a nutshell is why a lot of well qualified coaches don't coach anymore. Whether it be peewee, little league or at the varsity level and beyond, a lot of the parents are complete idiots.

My wife has a good friend whose son is playing peewee football for the first time.  Their team isn't bad but they hadn't won a game so far this season. 
 
We went to one of his games.  They played great. They had a really good running game and a stout little defense.  They scored three times and converted on all PATs and won the game 24-14!  Their first win of the season! 
 
All the kids were extremely happy and excited after winning the game and came running off the field all smiles and excited.  As the kids were coming around the fence to go find their parents, one kid, I'll call him #6 came running up to his dad beaming with excitement.  #6 had just played a great game, scoring a TD and a PAT plus making a ton of tackles on the outside.
 
Anyway #6 comes running up to his dad and says "dad, since we played so good and won, can "Johnny" come with us to eat?", as he was referring to his teammate who was with him.
 
First words out of his dad's mouth, "Well you didn't play that good.  You missed several tackles and let that one kid score a TD on you."
 
Needless to say, this little kid went from sky high to rock bottom in a matter of moments.  You could see tears in his eyes after his dad had just deflated his spirit.
 
I was shocked. I felt like punching that dickhead right in the neck for how he treated his son at that
moment.  Makes you wonder just how bad that kid has it when he does screw up.
 
Anyway, as I walked by the kid heading toward the car, I patted him on the shoulder pads and said "you played good #6", he looked at me with a half-hearted smile and said "thanks"....

As a youth league coach who has coached kids from the age of 4 to the age of 18.... I've had teams that have won every game.  I have had teams that have not won a game.  The MOST important thing is that those kids are having fun and that they are being a part of a team and working together.  The LAST thing they need is for an adult to belittle them for their efforts.  I can tell you that I haven't met a kid I didn't like while coaching.... but I have met quite a few adults.  

And that in a nutshell is why a lot of well qualified coaches don't coach anymore. Whether it be peewee, little league or at the varsity level and beyond, a lot of the parents are complete idiots.
