Wave316 is the man. To answer your question he is the Boss. He is also one great person that does more than anybody could ever imagine.
 
Thanks Wave316 for everything you do for all our kids.

Beamer is going to Graham. Nick Saban is going to Richlands.

There is no way Mance would leave Richlands before 2015 season. His son will be a senior and with eight returning starters on defense and over half on offense its just a bad rumor. He may very well leave at some point but not next year.

Dude!  It's only the 10th...come back with that in two weeks!
 

Va High wins 83-79.

I would put Carlock, Robbins, Fry, Turner, and Cummins ahead of Colley simply because of State Titles.
 
But the argument can be made that Colley has done more with less. All of those guys had D1 players at one time or another, Colley has not.
 
I would put Hubbard, Mullins and Colobro right behind him.

LOL, no. And not even by the bizarre geographical borders of Appy Dawg, either.

I am getting sick of this new love fest going on here....lol

This.
 
Wow. I actually clicked the like button on a post of yours…….I need to go to the doctor. Or maybe sleep. I'm not sure.

At the end of the day, we are all fans of high school sports...the truest of  athletic endeavors going!

I think one is the Qb.....lol
 
Mance wants to play him at left guard...lol

When you get up against as good as a D as Wilson has and you start getting calls that take the 10 yard first down away from you, when it becomes
2nd  and 15 or 20 it can be a game breaker against a stout defense.  Anybody sure that wasn't the same ref we had in 2010. Hats off to that  Wilson D
don't know we could have beat them anyway but sure wish the refs hadn't been so flag happy.  Would really like to know who selected these guys.

Only 263 days to go......

Your avatar is so different…….I used to just identify if you were posting by the paw print. This will take a while. Lol.

I am still hurting from the Hornet sting I guess....lol
 
Great game! Wilsons defense surprised me and I know that they had only given up 5 TD"s all year but I really thought that if River had time to throw that they could not cover all of our receivers. They did for the most part and that surprised me. I really thought that after we got late into the game they would wear down because they had blown most people out and that with our physical play and having to battle until the end in several games this year we would take it to them and win. They did not wear down at all. They were very athletic all over the field and not as physical as Gate City but they were physical.
 
River for the most part had plenty of time to throw the ball but it had to be short hard thrown balls and that worked very effectively the whole game. When we tried to throw the ball down the seam or try a fly pattern they were just to fast to jump our receivers and we couldn't manage that. So blaming River for all the interceptions is not fair. Sometimes you just have to shake your head and say great play by the opponent. They were just more athletic than we were in many areas. That being said we had plenty of opportunities to win this game and just couldn't pull it out. Even with 5 TURNOVERS we had a chance to win. That is pretty amazing considering their defense.
 
Our defense was just as impressive as they were. They were definitely sore this morning and now know that FOOTBALL in the "Good Ole SWVA" is very smash mouth and physical. I know we earned there respect because many and I mean many of there fans talked to us before and after the game with nothing but respect. It has been mentioned in many areas that Wilson is hated and very arrogant people. My experience was nothing of the sort. Of course there were some idiots on there side that I had to ignore and there AD was not the best people person I have ever met but the overwhelming majority of the Wilson folks were just great and showed good sportsmanship. There football players also showed good sportsmanship in which I did not expect.
 
I want to say thanks to all of the members on this board for all the kind posts you made towards Richlands this season. I HATE to lose and despise the agony of defeat.....It hurts!!!!!! We had so many great games this year and in many instances during the season it wasn't clear that there was an overwhelming favorite unless it would have been Honaker in 1A and Gate City in 2A. There was some great football and I enjoyed all the games and all the "verbal  jousting" with you guys. We love our football and that's why we spend the time we do on here doing this. Cant wait for next year all ready and our Richlands boys will be back after it in the Fieldhouse working very hard for next year on Monday.
 
Congratulations to Honaker, Haysi and Richlands for there State Semis run. I wish so bad that it could have been different for all three. I know Haysi and Richlands raised some eyebrows and earned respect from how many fans traveled a good distance to support there team. No matter what they say don't believe that we just had about the same number of fans that Wilson had. It wasn't even close because we outnumbered them at least two to one.....just amazing! Big cudos to Tigers gang and all the Haysi fans that made that ridiculous trip to Essex.....that speaks for itself!
 
Thanks LANCE and GMan for providing this outlet for us all......I really appreciate all you guys do. To all the members here and good friends I have made....I hope you all have a Merry CHRISTMAS and a great New Year !

Now this board dies till August lol

Good season Richlands you guys always have a team capable of making a run in the playoffs

Our D is playing Great. The problem is stupid penalties that are KILLING us. Yet, we are still in this. And we get the ball after half.

Wow..........

Game day fellas!! Good luck to all teams and put boots to a$$e$ today and take care of business!!! GO SWVA!!!

Hate you can't be there. But get better, we'll need you next week.
 
Trust me, we will bring the noise for you. This game is gonna be insane.

I'm with ya on that. I usually figure the Blues are a touchdown behind and have 50 yards in penalties when they get off the bus. The Rockbridge Co. game will always stick in my mind as one of the worst, since officials at that level should be the best of the best. Not the shameful crew I saw. I've always loved the fact that the team uses it as a battle cry and never gives up. Safe travels to all. Smack 'em in the mouth Blues.

I am looking forward to seeing Richlands in my "neck of the woods" ... Salem on December 13! Be there!
