As a Richlands fan, this game worries me. Our secondary will definitely need to step it up. I think our run defense will be ok. Key for RIchlands is to establish the running game to hopefully open up the passing. Trey Browns ability to run the ball will be huge. I know Mitchell cant be stopped we can only hope to contain him!! As a Richlands homer (LOL). I will say Richlands 24-21 with a Levi Forrest 47 yard FG late to win it.
I will make my list based on wheelchair accessibility. Because that is very important to me. lol
My favorites to watch a game are the following:
1. Ernie. HOME!!!!
2. I enjoyed the experience at Salem at the state game this past year. Very great views from the wheelchair seating area. No hills to climb to get to the seats.
3. Virginia High. Great accessible seating and visitor stands are raised enough that you are not obstructed too much by the players on the sideline.
4. Mitchell. It is a massive stadium. I just wish there was a way they could have made the accessible seats higher up. Lack of height and distance from field makes it hard to see, depending on where the action is.
5. Bullitt Park. Great accessible seating. Most times I can get right on the 50 and they have seats beside of the spots for the wheelchairs so someone could sit with me.
Honorable mention is Falcon Stadium:
The stadium has great views from anywhere in the stadium. That HILL is quite tough (to say the least). Like some have previously said, they should have made a ramp to the front of the visitor stands as well. Thankfully I have had buddies to help me up that hill. YES, multiple buddies is needed to push me up that hill, AND they do it in shifts!!!! lol My 2 arm drive doesn't work too well on that steepness lol.
Gman, our opinions differ but I am not sure how a shot clock would make scores in the 20's. I don't believe a 30 second shot clock would rush these players into bad shots. If the team cant find a decent shot in 30 seconds, there is something wrong. But like I said, high school having a shot clock is just my opinion.
IMO, I believe a 30 second shot clock in the high school game would be great. Like CityofRaven stated above, poor shot selection (3 point shot on a 3on1 fast break) already exists. Seen that a few times myself this year at Richlands games!!! lol.
Anyway, back to the topic. First and foremost it would eliminate holding the ball. That definitely makes for boring basketball IMO
Congrats to Bluefield on qualifying for the State Quarterfinals. Good to see Cody Fuller contributing for the Beavers. Good Luck to them next week in Charleston!!!
