Southbound & Falconman for the folks that remember them.

For the historical aspect that everyone is talking about:
Richlands has went winless two times in school history. The 1937 Blues went 0-7-1. The 1970 Blues went 0-9-1. Richlands has never finished a regular season 0-10. 
Richlands is currently on a 10 game losing streak dating back to the David Crockett game a season ago. It is the longest losing streak the Blue Tornado has had since it lost the final four games of the 1960 season and the first eight games of the 1961 season--a 12 game losing streak that is the longest in RHS history. 
As for the series with Marion, Richlands holds a 46-17-1 advantage in a matchup that dates back to 1930. Marion has not won since 2017. Dating back to 2001, Richlands holds a 20-2 record in the matchup.

Gonna be real hard for Bluefield to finish 14-1 & state champions if this score holds. 

somehow Ridgeview was ranked second in the poll on here last week over Graham, Radford, and Princeton.

We've seen this more and more over the past decade or so. Athletic departments have realized that you cannot add another way to deter the already shrinking crowds in the area. Interest is already down, our populations in the area are shrinking and, there are so many more ways to consume the game than showing up to the stadium on Friday. Remember that most athletic departments' "break-even" point heavily depends on the gate success of 2 sports. By changing a date due to weather, they are protecting their interests, the local businesses who sponsor the advertisements you see around stadiums and in programs(do they still sell programs?), and most importantly the safety of the student-athletes that this silly board and passionate fanbases rally around.   When one of those sports takes place in extremely variable conditions, those 4 or 5 home dates become even more valuable in creating the most ideal environment to get Joe Townsperson's $7 at the gate and $5 to support the band for popcorn and a pop, Tommy Insurance Agent's ad seen, or keeping Jimmy Football healthy for a deep playoff run.

Ryan is very faithful, loyal, and is determined. Almost all the kids playing on the field for RV are juniors and sophomores. He’s very proud to be winning with the team he’s known for a very long time, and someone mentioned academics earlier in the chat, Ryan is a student first, reads constantly, loves to learn and he high education aspirations. There is so much more to Ryan O’Quinn than the elite QB he is. He believes in his friends and teammates and he knows they believe in him.
