    I'm sure that will be civil and reasonable.

    cityofRaven got a reaction from V-Cats in Loss of kids from coal camps is the problem of the Blues   
    The main problem with the Richlands football program at the moment is that there are no longer 5 to 6 pee wee and midget teams in town.
    The high school program did well when Richlands had a solid pee wee program. A few folks thought it was beneficial for kids to win instead of develop, so the program was diminished to two teams. With more kids on the sidelines and not getting the reps, it's fairly easy to see why kids on Friday nights have no real feel for the game. 
    Anyone who has ever been around sports knows that sometimes, the 'studs' at age ten don't pan out to be that type of dominating player at the varsity level. Likewise, kids who may be undersized or underdeveloped in their early years grow into their bodies by high school and become D1-type players (i.e., Austin Fuller)
    Until the powers that be in Richlands realize that more teams allow more kids to participate, learn, and grow in football, the Blue Tornado program will continue the trend that no one really thought we would see.

    I have often said that if Palmer would have got the job when Williams did that this run by Graham may have started a little earlier.

    Talent was there the whole time, it either was used incorrectly or didn't bother playing for those two coaches.

    Richlands' schedule's a gauntlet, which is fine if you're a perennial contender. Not so much if you're trying to rise from the ashes.

    A regional approach would be best. Maybe Union could pick up some students from Lee. Not that Union ever needs any Lee kids, but just to antagonize Joey Carroll
