Nope. 0% glimmer.
 
Kidding. I really don't hate Richlands. You probably don't know this but I actually attended RHS for a little while [ like to think I started the transfer trend ;) ] But after graduating from Tazewell and now living in Bluefield that leaves Richlands as my 3rd favorite team in Tazewell county lol
 
But honestly, my step dad is a huge richlands supporter so I tend to pull for them in the post season. Once Graham is out I'll hope to see Richlands go all the way.

I believe blue field was 8-1 with a 9 game schedule but I agree with what you said. Much improved from last year, especially with their attitudes. This time last year probably 90% knew they were going to go 0-1 in the playoffs. This year I believe 90% of them think they could go all the way. Not saying they will, but getting he kids to believe that is half the battle.
 
Anyone have the total of how much Graham's defense gave up this year? I know there was 4 games they gave up a lot ( richlands, Giles, Galax, Abingdon) but other than that I feel the average should've been much lower than last year.

That's a bold move, Cotton.

Whoever sent them must have money to blow. Colored roses are expensive! My wife is lucky to get them once a year on Valentine's day.

I don't hate Richlands' fans. I was just explaining what a lot of people get aggravated with.
 
And not trying to pick a fight here, but I do remember a Richlands poster last year blaming a lot of woes on Richlands offense being catered around Farris who was hurt early in the season. He was a "out of towner" and that's more or less what I was talking about.
 
I'm cool with kids transferring to better theirselves. I'm not cool with fans beating their chests over such players as if they had anything to do with why they are performing as good as they are.
My mom married into a Richlands family and I hear this a lot and I guess I've sort of got annoyed with it. So don't take it personal on here if I post a general statement.

Just seems like when Richlabds underperforms the excuses normally lead back to they were without one of their out of towners. If I was a homegrown kid that would probably hurt my feelings.
 
Just my observation.

Narrows actually beat bland by 1 point which leads me to believe that as good of a story that bland has been they will not have the athletes to stick with graham.

That shows how bad Graham's defense really is that everyone blames giving up 460 yards to one player on your sophomore transfer LB being out of the game.

I played for Tazewell my senior year and lived for 3 years once I moved back from Alabama. I tried my best to stay invested in the school and community but from the time that they started forcing Coach Wyatt out the door (1 year removed from being #1 issued in the region and winning 9 games) I gradually started losing respect for Tazewell and its community "leaders."
 
Tazewell - your football team is bad, has been bad, and will be bad as long as this continues. Kids need structure, foundation, and a sense of pride for who and what they are playing for. Now certain members of the community start spreading around that they are displeased with the coach that spends his time instilling these values in your kids....how in the world do you think this benefits anyone? You take away the pride that your kids have in the program & you tarnish the name of a coach that sacrifices time with his own kids to mentor yours. With this going on now for 5+ years how in the hell do you ever expect that you're going to get a good coach?????
 
If you read the article it says the players signed a petition in support of the coach. So what does this tell you? (Some of) THE PARENTS ARE THE PROBLEM. The kids aren't calling for coach Allen's head and the kids sure as hell can't walk into another school and register there. Some parents that actually want best for all the kids (and not just theirs) need to step up and take control of this situation because the community leadership you have now is running you into the ground where you will never be able to get out. I mean one of your booster leaders took your best player to your hated rival?? Jesus Christ it's embarrassing and disgusting that that would even be considered an option.
 
I've kind of ranted on and run some stuff together but it's really aggravating that because of the actions of the community of Tazewell that I cannot be proud of where I finished my high school career. I meet a lot of different people and when they ask me where I went to school, without hesitation I say Pocahontas. I'm literally that disgusted with Tazewell.
