Message to Richlands fans: I've been noticing a trend as of late, and that trend is that our fan base has been absent all year. I can remember driving to Hidden Valley and to Brookville and us packing the stands 2 hours before kickoffs. We always had more fans than the opposing team during the season. It's such a HUGE difference when we can go on the road and make so much noise that it throws off the home team. But this year, we haven't filled up a set of bleachers since Gate City in week 1. These boys don't have a perfect record. They lost some squeakers. They got beat convincingly. But they've grown so much. They deserve to have a rabid fan base that will follow them ANYWHERE to see them play the game. Are we really that spoiled as a fan base? Have we seen so many 10-0 teams that a 3 loss season has turned away fans?? We are ONE win away from a STATE SEMIFINAL APPEARANCE. This team is good. But so is Gate City. They need our help in any way they can get it. Remember when this team carried out the 32 jersey and promised to play this season for Cody? Well, that's still in effect. This season still means more than just a season.
 
So I'm challenging you. Load up a car with friends. Get your friends to do the same. If someone doesn't have a ride, BRING THEM if you don't have a full car. Let's pack these stands Saturday at Gate City and help our boys continue their dream. Mance shouldn't have to beg on the radio to get fans to come out. It's time to re-ignite this fan base!!! THE STORM IS COMING!!

Its way too late for that Ryan!!!

Galax plays Haysi, not Honaker. Maybe you should actually do some research before you come on here making a fool of yourself.

The Brookville game was just amazing and I will never forget it(2010). I think the weather has had some to do with it this year but as you stated that didn't matter in the past. I agree with you Ryan I sure hope the fans will travel this week and I think it being played Saturday will turn out a lot more of us. The boys do deserve it and I think we will show up in force. 
 
1- close to the malls for the ladies
2- go right by a Bass Pro for the men & ladies
3- good food
4- High School Playoff Football with a birth to the 2A State Semi-Finals (that would make #32 proud)!!!!!!
 
What else could we ask for except a win ?

Buckshot732 - Mance plans on playing our starting Guard at QB. He also plans to take a knee on every 3rd play we run. Please pass this along to the GC coaches. Appreciate it.

You've got my vote, Mayor.

I'm new to this message board, but is the week leading up to this game the part where we share inside information to allow the teams to better prepare?
 
I'll get the ball rolling for GC: From a trusted source inside the field house, our coaches will be changing things up (They fear being too predictable during this rematch). Most of our starters will be changing positions (Herron will be at RT) and we'll be using the same offensive playbook and script that VT used against Wake yesterday. Defensively, we'll be in the Prevent exclusively, with no stunts, blitzes, or pressure, just to be safe.
 
Can any of you Blues fans close to the team share any info regarding Coach Mance's gameplan?

I have heard folks say VH$L finally has a 6A system, I just laugh, because they have had 6A in football for years they just didn't call it that

Welcome to the board!!

Apparently everyone in Gate City looks like they have down syndrome. That's about 5 minutes or my life I'll never get back lol.

Oh we stretch farrrrrrrrrrrr beyond that. Lol.

Man's post Dan - respect you coming back and owning it. The Buckingham program could learn alot from your example.
 
Safe travels back to Buckingham.

Oh we stretch farrrrrrrrrrrr beyond that. Lol.

Oh we stretch farrrrrrrrrrrr beyond that. Lol.

Let em talk. We have a game next week.

We're everywhere. ;)

I hope the officials from the first game are NOWHERE to be found this go around. 2 great teams, hoping for no injuries, good weather and for the officials to be impartial and fair! 

Guys let er Rip !!!!!!! You all deserved it!!!!!!! You took a team that just had two athletes and 50 some "Good Ole Boys"...lol... and whupped some butt!!!!!! Couldn't be more proud of you guys for shutting that bunch up the good ole fashioned way. Congratulations and I am out of likes again so I will end with seconding my good friend Bigrhs.....I hope you all got it out of your system today!
 
Cant wait to see you guys next week but for sure enjoy this one!!!!!

The biggest statement for me is the fact that before we put our JV defense in for Marion's last drive, Wagner had 19 yards. Our D played lights out last night. Even with Wagner getting 79 total yards, the Marion rushing total was just 38 yards. So proud of that defense. I really think the interception on the first play was huge. After Richlands went down and scored, you could see the Marion players body language change.
 
Congrats to Marion on a great season! Nothing to hang your head at. Those boys played hard until the final whistle. Glad I got to chat with Canes and 2dalejrfanz. Always enjoy talking to those two guys. Sucks Hurricane got stuck at work and was late.
