That was around 2010-2015.

I don’t know if that was during high school or the middle school years, but either way, it would have been a one off during that era.

Transfers didn’t begin until the Johnsons in 2009. Prior to that, they were rare. I don’t recall any in my junior or senior years, which were Mance’s first two. I don’t know if any football transfers during the 3 straight title game appearances 2005-2007, although I believe Shane Wicks was from Honaker.

I’m guessing the last outright title is 1986? They may have shared it since then.

It’s really both. Richlands only had 5 seniors on the roster, one of which was his first year. It really was an imperfect storm of an uphill battle this season. Another thread listed the slide, but youth and inexperience is certainly part of it. The other factors may explain the youth, though.

WCYB did an excellent job! I’m no longer in their coverage area but watched on YouTube/Roku. If that was James Colley he’s a pleasure to listen call the game.

TD pass to Bandy. Honaker 20-18 PH.

PH with Goodspeed running behind Barrett has been effective at times. I’m just waiting for Honaker to erupt.

That’s true. I’m admittedly influenced by historical results, and they played a healthy Graham very tough without him in game 1. The Beavers typically have speed to burn.

You are probably right. I just see them always having a speed advantage on most in the coverage area.

Yes, it was. However, watching it on NFHS, I didn’t really have a question who I thought was the better team. I think RC played well.

Grayson beating Bluefield honestly surprises me. Honaker and Grayson appear to be looking like a heavyweight semifinal to come.

Grayson INT and kneeling.

I wondered if anyone would mention James Colley specifically. I don’t know enough about him, except his passing teams were ahead of their time.

Yeah. It baffles me when I feel the Bulldogs underachieving sometimes. I root for them every other game (family ties and location).

I’m honestly impressed by the Wolfpack hanging close to the Bears.

This season, yes.

I wouldn’t say that. They should be held accountable. Just not blaming them for overall performance.

They are consistently inconsistent.

I despise when I hear someone blaming the refs, even if our own fan bases. I will admit three occurrences when I felt the officiating affected the outcome of the game, although one is debatable. As a Richlands fan, I’m sure most can guess. Again, it could have been a product of my age/lack of maturity.

I’m not a fan of them, but I remembered someone used milk jugs filled with rocks. I can’t remember who it was, though.
