What's wrong with a football player?

Some football players might not help you win soccer games, but in our area your football players are usually your best athletes. Therefore, having your schools better athletes on the field would most likely better your chances for winning games.

One problem with players going to the next level is they first need to have the talent to play at the next level. No coach, from anywhere can help you move on if you aren't good enough. Even if they don't help if you want to play in college bad enough there are enough resources to get yourself there. Plus if you're good enough you don't need help colleges come to you.

Yeah, it probably wasn't the way everybody would have done it, but look at it this way. As bad as I hate to say it that's a big reason Richlands is and will continue to be the class of the SWD. When you get out in front you don't start coasting and say well glad there is blood in the water, no no you keep your foot on the gas and go in for the kill. Mance doesn't care what anyone else from any other school thinks about the way his team plays, and does anyone know why? In a place where football is king, the district titles, region titles, state title appearances, and not to mention a championship ring rules all. Winning is winning, and until someone else can instill that attitude into their team it will be the same thing year in and year out. Everyone should know I'm Tazewell all the way, but the fact of the matter is that's the truth.

Dazzle is going son. Enough said.

Everybody gets on here throwing off on Corner man, did both benches not clear? Did the Qb not engage himself in that? I haven't heard anything about that. All it has been is oh well we won't say a name but um that Jon Corner # 1 kid from Tazewell just is awful. That's right he trucks people and then laughs at them, or says a little something. So what it's part of it, grow up. Ever watched football on tv? Good example Ray Lewis think he never says anything or gets hot headed? Don't hate on a kid for being good man, and give credit to all guilty parties not just a small piece.

funny it doesn't matter what the score was because of all the backup time and everybody seeing the field a lot. Funny. I mean of course you can tell who the better team is but other than that doesn't mean much.

So what's the need in bashing a teammate? None.

Hahaha a 3.9 na I'm kidding man. Gene I'm on my way to Kneeeemaarrrss. ha

Ha i bet you didn't even step on the field last year did you? Get over yourself. If you really are from Tazewell why are you trying to bash a teammate? Ohh wait the him playing you not thing. haha

Yeah I'm pretty positive my man doesn't run a 5.9 in the 40. But track times don't really mean anything once you put the pads on. I doesn't matter it you win state in the 100 if you get tackled by a person that couldn't win the district in it, it's still back to the huddle time for a new play. Another tally in the tackle column for Corner.

I'd say corner will play some reciever, but you're right never know he could be back there. I look for Mikal Moore to see a decent number of carries.

E&H

and i'm pretty sure the zak jarret doesn't get called a cancer having pussy by any one of the carrol players either. So yea he deserved to be cussed and deserves to be beat up in the parking lot after still to this day. Don't start things where you don't know the circumstances. Makes you look stupid.

When all SWD teams are done with their season.

Where did the richlands convo come from? I thought this was about the abingdon/tazewell game last night?

Enrollment does matter. If you have more kids to choose from you might just be able to field a better team. Of course there are exceptions to this in any sport. But look at it like this if you have a school of say 1,600 students and a school with 600. You are roughly 40% more likely to get better because you have more to choose from. A lot of things play into that, yes most RRD teams have bigger schools and probably have quite a few one sport athletes as most places around here don't have that many. Second they are closer to places with legitimate travel teams to play on, which is a much higher level of soccer. Which as you can tell makes a big difference.

But that doesn't necessarily mean that a school that has an enrollment number under that will be A. If the are pretty close i guess they just choose. Perfect example Giles has roughly 700 some kids, same as Tazewell.

All the schools in the swd besides Abingdon and Caroll County could drop to A. With the numbers as they are right now.

Actually if you went by numbers now the two that should stay up are Caroll County and Abingdon. Richlands, Tazewell, and Graham will never drop to A though because of the big time football pride in all of the towns.

Have a hissy when you don't talk about tazewell? Did i say a thing about tazewell, or anyone talking about them? No i don't believe i did. Sorry i called you out and now you are pisssed. It's about the RRD? Na i honestly don't believe i can remember a post that doesn't say Blacksburg in it.

And it's Southwest Virginia Sports forum. Not Blacksburg soccer.net or something. I believe everyone is probably talking about how you bash every team but blacksburg at all times.

I believe they will only do that if a lot of these make up games are rained out again this week. Yes unfair, but with the weather the way it has been this may be the only option. Just hope the weather allows them to play it out this week.

I appreciate it. Could have put a big number up on that career record if I would have played last year it's only 127. But it happens great milestone to reach in 2 full years and about half the games this year. Shout outs to all my teammates, couldn't have done it if i hadn't been on a pretty good team. In the bigger picture it's another mark in the W column.

W's and L's matter to the kids. But in the overall outlook on things, no, it's not a big deal. Although, if you have a great jv team that's good things to come for your varsity. So yes people care, but no in the grand scheme it doesn't matter more than that.
