Come on down! Get there early though, sellout type crowd expected.

Bluefields offense will be difficult to contain. They block well for those speed demons who handle the ball. BUT, the beaver defense(while quick at every position) does not play physical or hard on every down. There will be some seams to throw the ball and the second and third tier of the defense do not tackle well(they cover ground and close fast). If Richlands can out physical Bluefield at the line they have a shot. As Ryan stated, control the ball and set the pace. Bluefield will score, but I like what the blues have shown the last 2 weeks. No prediction from me but I might drive down to watch what I feel may be the best game played in our area this year.

It was the homecoming game my senior year as well. (2007) I submitted the theme that should have won. "Dam the Beavers" Find a better one than that. Lol.

There is always a bad apple in every bunch.

I might add that although I live in Appalachia and that practically my whole family is from there, I am actually from Big Stone Gap and went to Powell Valley. My dad, who played football for Appalachia in the 70s, and my mom, who cheered and participated in marching band in the 70s, sent my siblings and me to Powell Valley. Although I just typed a run-on sentence, I can form coherent sentences unlike this guy I am quoting.

There's still plenty of teams down here that do just that if you aren't narrow minded and follow all of SWVA. Ask Brookville how soft Richlands was in 2009.

A: I can read more than fine. Yet, with your absolute lack of any grammatical structure and punctuation to your post, it is hard to read.
 
B: You profess yourself as a LPD homer, yet you don't consider Dickenson county as part of your definition of SWVA football. Last I checked, Clintwood was a large part of the success of that district.
 
C: I am very "chill." And I have no need for any pills, seeing as I am a member of the straight edge movement. If you don't know what that is, Google it.
 
D: If you are going to say "the playoff format is stacked against the west", you better be ready to realize that there are 20+ teams in A and 20+ in AA that are west schools. Your beloved LPD schools aren't the only teams playing on this end of the state.

I apologize if I misinterpret something, but I'm not quite sure this post I just read was actually English. But I will try to decipher.
 
You're not gonna believe this, but I think your screen name gives it away to everyone that you're from Appalachia. Congrats. Have a cookie. I don't think anyone thought you went to Appalachian State, and just got the mascot mixed up. So there.
 
And taking pride in not being able to follow rudimentary logic...probably not a good sign. That concerns me. I don't know if I trust you with crayons and napkins yet.

At least Richlands plays tough teams, which only makes them better even if they do lose.

Richlands is considered the underdog in this game...no different than the LBotty game. There is one major difference in this game...Bluefield is ranked #1 in AA in the state of WV. I know Mance and his staff respect Simon and his staff for all of their success with the Bluefield program.
 
Let others be the pundits regarding this game. (Mr. J. 'troll' is doing what he does best). So what, if others say we'll be beaten by 20, 30, or more points...the game will be played on the field ... not on a message board.
 
Both coaching staffs will have their teams ready to play Friday night...I'm hoping for a Richlands win and I know the Beaver fans hope they win...just as it should be. Two good football programs on a Friday night under the lights...does it get any better???

I suspect these young men have not had many tacos in their life.  Victory, pink, or otherwise.  :-)

Were you at that game? Oh, wait. That's right. You weren't. Game was much closer than the final score. We also lost our number 1 WR for the year in that game, and our offensive gameplan was built around him. If a few things go the other way, Richlands wins that game. Also, if the two teams met next week, Id take Richlands.

Jethro thinks Bluefield will romp Richlands...
 
I like Richlands' chances.

The key to this game is to hold the ball. Speed doesn't mean a damn thing if they don't have the ball. Bluefield will score. But it's up to Richlands to hold the ball and make that defense tired and the offense stay out of rhythm. I think Richlands keeps it close. At halftime last year we were only down 7. Don't be too surprised when this game is closer than the "experts" think.

Were they playing isis?

Ballgame. George Wythe 28. Tazewell 20.

Final. Richlands 45 Va. High 7

The station carrying the Dawgs game is wild--went away from the game and started telling scores after Tazewell thru and interception.  You could hear the Tazewell announcers in the background but couldn't make out what they were saying.  Thank goodness our station is not like that

Final. Richlands 45 Va. High 7

2nd string skill position players in for Richlands now. Still starting line. Getting John Luke some much needed reps.

BHC picked Richlands to win 28-7.

You wanna explain that one? We are about 4 plays from being 4-0. And we've beaten a 3A team who everyone picked to destroy us. How are we a bad surprise? Unless of course you meant you were hoping we would be 2-8 and we won't be so that's bad for you?
