  1. All I can tell you is drive by Graham high school. Work began 1st week of January. It will be complete by summer.
  2. You are correct. They've had the money for 2 years for the Graham project. The reason it had not started before now was the state and the EPA. Work in Bluefield has begun. Work in Tazewell and Richlands was approved by school board in the fall. Contracts are approved and should start soon.
  3. They are having to cut trees and work on the drainage pond as well. Tazewell I think involves a retaining wall. Either way shouldn't be long.
  4. Lots more work to do at Graham. Tazewell shouldn't take nearly as long,
  5. You might think it's rubbish, but it's not. Bluefield WV is not fiscally responsible which is why the rent keeps raising. When the turf was put down in 2007 the city of Bluefield was charging 35k a year in rent. That money from tazewell and mercer county school boards were supposed to be put in an account that was 70k yearly for turf replacement. I was told that personally by the director of parks and rec. When it came time to replace the turf the city had spent the money and had to get the money from the schott foundation. Then they raised the rent more. Not to mention they take 20% of concessions from the band. They arent going to miss Graham. They have BU and BSU now. You can doubt it if you wish but it's going to happen.
  6. Pretty sure thats the plan.
  7. I've heard the money will be found. It's just a matter of time now. I was told between mitchell and the soccer complex they've paid in excess of 80k. You could keep paying that......or invest that into your own facility. Besides......they just hit us hard on property taxes. There will be money.
  8. I've heard Richlands isn't the only place they've been sniffing around.
  9. Congratulations to Galax and the young man with ice water in his veins to hit that kick. Awesome.
  10. Congratulations Radford Bobcats and your fans.
  11. Actually it was. Radford had big holes in the seating down near the band.
  12. Yup. It might be neither of them. We will see next week.
  13. I can't see that happening at all. It's a total rebuild now.
  14. That decision was made during Marrs years. Williams was coach when they moved down.
  15. Wow......what a game. What an environment. 2 great programs, 2 great traditions, 2 great fan bases. Hate to see someone had to lose. Fortunately it was our day. But the Union Bears are a great team and you had a great season. Looking forward to more next year. Nothing but respect.
  16. Union and Graham both will run the ball early and often keeping the Radford offense off the field. Hard to score sitting on the sidelines.
  17. I didn't until they won this round because of last year. Just my opinion.
  18. Good luck. I hope you guys win. Seriously.
  19. Is that what he told you lol......
  20. Cool. Dress warm. It's going to be cold.
