Went by Ernie Hicks this morning and all the turf is off the field.  As a Blues fan, I sure hope the blue matches this time. 

My, my, my, how times have changed.  A few years back everyone was dumping on Mance about the transfers, but now it seems Mance was ahead of his time, because tranfers seem normal and acceptable.  I can see both pros and cons about transfers, but in todays time transferring from one school to another is no big deal especially if it works out to the good of the player. If HC Davis surrounds himself with good assistants he will be successful.  The HC is like a president and has to have the final say.  The assistants are like cabinet members and can always have discussions with the HC about changes, or recomendations, but in the end the HC has the final say.  What we've seen the past couple of years is assistants changing the game plan in the middle of a game without the HC's approval, causing nothing but chaos and confusion, with players not knowing which play to run.  
I think Davis has been involved long enough in coaching that he understands how to delagate but still remain in control.  I wish him the best in choosing assistants that will get involved but remain loyal to him in the HC position. 

Some of it is good-natured interest, some of it is worry that a good hire will bring back some magic that was present in the early '00's-'10's, and most of it is folks who had their head beat in for years by Richlands finally getting some satisfaction in the fact that the Blue Tornado are down at the moment. 

There have been a number of botched athletic hires/decisions at RHS over the past 25 years, will this decision be different???

This is a stupid thread imo....calling out kids names...if they transfer so be it...but geez

Rolling clock before the game starts.  Graham by as many as they want.  This is the wrong side of history, first team ever to not have at least one win in a season, and IMO if the coaching doesn't change, next year will be another year of wrong sided history.  Hats off to the players who have given their all to the team.  It's a sad situation when a coaching staff is made up of some assistants who have no idea how to coach football.  Love the Blues, win or loose, but its time for the betterment of the program to make an across the board change in coaching!!!!

Same reason there is a thread for every game every week lol

For these young mens sake, I would love to see Richlands get the W.  I'm really doubting it will happen but definitely pulling for them!!  Go Blues!!

In this town? Good luck lol. 

Can we delete this thread? it’s been five games lol. 

Remember a few years ago when everyone on this board was certain that Richlands and Union were going to meet in Salem and everything in between was a waste of time?
I remember.
It's week 5.
Simmer down. 

Getting someone twice your age charged with assault is the lack of toughness the NBA frowns upon.

The step-dad sounds like a real coward

I think I spotted a fan with outside food and an umbrella in the video. I just hope the School Board addresses this issue as well.

I think they should cut it to 6 and give the top 2 seeds a bye week. 

Meanwhile at the Tazewell press box Friday night...... 

Ernie Hicks Press Box 5:45pm Friday Night , get ready to rumble 😂😂😂😂! 

😂😂😂😂 I'm dead

Well, if you're going to hang out here you need to understand a few things:
Union folk are never happy.
Giles is experiencing a civil war.
Tazewell somehow has become overrated.
Graham is Graham
Ridgeview will only go as far as their Dline will take them.
We can't figure out Gate City
Lee is on the upswing.
Eastside is on the downswing.
We're not sure about Burton.
The whole damn board dislikes Central.
We have our own internal drama, so you may not go directly to the front of the line.
Enjoy.

A community devastated by catastrophic flooding attempts to give their kids normalcy but by all means let’s think of the poor other schools losing a game/gate.
 
GTFOH with that…for real. Do I hate we are losing a game? Sure, but it’s BS to criticize those kids/coaches/admin. 

Agree! It makes everyone better when everyone is competitive. Hopefully, they turn the corner just not completely cross the street on Friday, lol. 

I will try not to be negative.  That's why I have waited so long to post on this game.  One word describes my thoughts, UNPREPARED!!!  Union was good but not the best Union team I have seen, however they were PREPARED.  Richlands has some good talent, but I'll give you a good run down.  Opening kick off penalty(are you kidding) special teams UNPREPARED!!, Defense--wondering around lost and bewildered, out of position all night long--UNPREPARED!! Offence--gained less than 100yds. ( you got to be kidding) how far back in history do we have to look to see this stat on the Richlands side. UNPREPARED!!  Some say you can't put it all on the coaching, (are you kidding), they are totally responsible for PREPARATION!!! Did they not even see the film, did they not know the offense package Union would bring to the game, did they not look at how Union's defence would attack, UNPREPARED!!!
Hats off to Union for doing a good job of preparing their players, and sticking to the game plan.  If Richlands had a game plan I did not see it.  If I'm wrong, I'm wrong, but it seemed to me the plan was watch and learn as you play, and try not to loose to badly.  This is squarely on the coaching staff because they did nothing to PREPARE their team. If half time adjustment were made, I missed them, probably "hang in there guys, do the best you can, running clock, this willl be over soon." UNPREPARED, UNPREPARED, UNPREPARED!!!!

I have a couple friends from there that will fight you if you call them richlunds lol

Is it really football season if no one brings up the cleats? Some people have a hard time letting go 😂. 

Is this football number or band numbers I’m confused
