They did beat Jenkins...
 
 
 
 

There’s a funny post on FB from a guy in Clintwood proposing a class on football basics before letting anyone into games next season.  
I for one wholeheartedly endorse this idea. Some of our fans truly are an embarrassment. 

Yeah.  This thread is supposed to be a celebration of the triumph of humanity -- well, the part of humanity that plays football for Liberty High School anyway...

From an outside perspective — I’d be livid with the admin in Dickinson Co. for running off a coach who is currently undefeated and one of a handful of favorites to make it to Salem. 

I can't believe you continue to speak of high school kids this way.

I'm sure the Blacksburg players wished they were as good as the all world Graham Gmen. Why must you keep putting down the kids from Blacksburg.

Final score was 49-6 Amherst.  But from the atmosphere after the game someone who wasn't aware of that might easily form the impression that Liberty actually won.  The student section (which was loud and active for the entire game) stormed the field and embraced the team and pretty much everyone was in an upbeat mood.
Very odd.  But still a thing of beauty.  You've gotta love small town Friday night football.

Well deserved retirement, Coach Tarter is a good guy and undeserving of the hate from Richlands’ folks. He stepped up when there wasn’t anyone else. Hopefully, someone can come in and build them back! 

When I was in Blfd Va, I saw a middle school Richlands BBplayer karate kick Shane Compton into the stands at Richlands, I saw a Richlands wrestler smack the Gmen wrestler in the face after the match when he should've shook hands. I saw plenty of other stuff from Richlands, but it would just go on.  They're the most unsportsmanlike school athletics, I've ever seen.  Go G-Men and score 43 more...
 
 
 

Run it up!

I don't have a dog in this fight and frankly, don't care. But I do have someone I know very, very well and see quite often in the Blacksburg School system. Blacksburg High School is currently battling a severe mono outbreak. Severe enough that the New River Health District is involved.
Some things are bigger than football and all "injuries" are not created equally. 

Agreed. Kids health should always be the priority — even if certain people on here seem to think otherwise.

Roanoke Times picked up the story about Blacksburg forfeiting their Salem game. Since it's a subscription article, I'll just copy the paragraph that gives the official reason. Here it is below:
In an email sent to community members, Blacksburg Principal Chris Stewart cited a high number of injuries that have left a limited number of remaining active players, and that the forfeiture comes out of caution for those athletes.
 

Completely acceptable if this is indeed the case. Kid's health should always come first.

If that's the case, then 100% you don't need to play that game. That's a great way to get someones kid hurt when they literally can't come off the field against a team like Salem. 

Hey bird7, give us another one of your great posts about any other team but yours. I just want to be sure I have the right team you're saying negative things about. ( Blacksburg are cowards )

Why is there even a thread for this game?? 

Easiest excuse.

I think I stated that. We did get beat by the better team. No excuses. Facts are facts Graham defense had Creasy throwing faster than routes were ready, not sure the two wrong routes. Maybe give Taz defense some credit for the turnovers in the redzone. We were a one dimensional offense aftwr Creasy went out. Pretty easy to defend that. Graham has always had the arrogant fans that talk down about Tazewell and is part of the reason I can't pull for them either. At least Union fans aren't cutting down their opposition. I know as do most all our fans that Graham is still the best team of the district. We thought we were pretty good and I still believe it but that just means there is still a way to go. I don't get fired up to much and try to be the respectful poster on here and give credit where it is due, but mark my word when Graham plays Union in the playoffs, I may have to go to that game and be a Bears fan!  All I'm saying about the results from last night, time to move on to the Lebanon game.
