EH31 got a reaction from BandanaVTDavis4321 in Daniel Jennings to Princeton
Everything you said is true.
But other than the D1 seniors that you mentioned Princeton only had a couple more than actually contributed.
They’ll be returning the majority of starters next season and will have the benefit of a much more even playing field in the playoffs.
Bluefield/Princeton/Graham have been sharing kids around for years with Princeton usually coming up on the shorter end of all of the moves.
However, Princeton has gotten the better of Bluefield over the last few years. That helps them from losing kids to Bluefield & with a kid of Jennings’ caliber leaving Graham to go back to Princeton I’d imagine that will hurt the Princeton —-> Graham pipeline.
Now they have the benefit of having a young energetic coach, multiple kids playing division 1 and a taste of success. And finally it seemed like the community has really rallied behind them. Hunnicutt is a big stadium and they were filling up the home stands.
Usually I would be on your side on all of this but I believe Princeton has had the perfect storm of events go their way in the last 6 months. I’m weirdly optimistic that they have turned the corner.

You are correct. That is the rule.
I was responding to someone who said Clements situation was the same as Jennings. It wasn’t.

Clements played his freshman year at Mount View so that is not the same situation as Jennings.

With WV going to 4 classes next year Princeton has a legitimate shot to win a state title.
They won’t have to deal with Martinsburg anymore.

Conflict of interest - Shaq owns many Five Guys restaurants.
if you want a wild rabbit hole to go down, google what all companies Shaquille O’Neal has ownership in. It includes The General & Brooks Brothers, as well as the rights to Marilyn Monroe’s likeness, plus countless other things you probably wouldn’t expect.

Richlands ended up placing 9th. Went 3-1 on the weekend. First team from Tazewell County to ever place in the VA Duels. Huge honor. Wish we could have gotten a different draw than Poquoson in that first round to see what would have happened.

EH31 reacted to tbgfan in Christmas
Merry Christmas to everyone!!!
I have been a member since 2007 on this board...almost 17 years. I've enjoyed it, been frustrated at times, but always keep returning to read, post and reply to others. We have a common bond, not always common teams, just our love of sports.
The most important year of having my name listed occurred in 1984...almost 40 years ago. That Sunday, I surrendered my life to Christ. It has been such a blessing in my life, knowing through battles, trials I always have that constant, I have a Savior who walks with me.
This morning I was reading a monthly newsletter I receive. The author said this and I would like to share. It may not be for all, but it may be just what some need.
"A question often arises in our trials, one that seems universal: "Why?"
The backdrop is the story of Martha and Mary's brother Lazarus death and Jesus delayed coming there 4 days.
"Many of us address God as Martha did, "Lord why did you let this happen? Why weren't you here for us."
The author said, "I believe we need to ask a different question, not "Why?", but "Who?' as in "Who is my redeemer? Who is always for me? Who walks with me through the valley of the shadow of death? Who is in control always? Whose promises have never failed me?"
He adds, "The difference in asking "Who?" rather than than "Why?" can shift our path. Asking "Why?" is an intellectual pursuit; even if we receive an answer, our spirit gains nothing. Asking "Who?' is personal. If we ask it, God will reveal himself to us, and we'll experience his faithfulness. We'll also be able to trust that our steps are in line with his glory."
This wish for a Merry Christmas to all, is a little long. I guess you could compare it to being at Christmas dinner, if all you enjoy is the aroma of the day, and not sit down and feast from what's been prepared, your day isn't complete.
One last note, this quote is from poet Robert Frost, and I think it is a good way to close my wishes.
"If there are no tears in the writer, there have been no tears in the reader."
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
