Southbound & Falconman for the folks that remember them.

Honaker -14.5 ✅ 

Phoebus 104, Jamestown 0. Final. 

Phoebus 104, Jamestown 0. Final. 

This is the way. 

Heard through the grapevine that late last night some guys in Red Ash were cooking meth and actually made an Ernie Hicks hologram so... I think we've found our coach.

It's this kind of community support that dynasties are built.

Woah, dude! You're bringing out the BIG guns!

I have an empty trailer in the bottom that has never been flooded, equal distance from not one but two Dollar General's and a good walk from Grants.
That offer is more than enticing. 

So many people on Facebook seem to know the game so well, should have a really good field to choose from.

Big shout out of appreciation. You've given this old high school football junkie another great season. To the hand full of you I actually know, and the hundreds of you I've got to watch this year, Thank you. Although this probably wasn't the championship season you had hoped for, these will still be remembered as some of the best times of your life. Your dedication and hard work is truly admired. Play with Pride tonight, and give it all you got, 1 more time.

Interesting info from fourseasonsfootball.com
 
A loss tonight would complete the first 0-10 season in Blue Tornado history. The 1937 Blues went 0-7-1 and the 1970 Blues went 0-9-1 but Richlands has never lost each game it has played. 
If Graham scores 15 points, this years Richlands team would be the most scored on team in Richlands history. (2013 Richlands currently holds that but also played 13 games as opposed to 10) 
A loss to Graham would be the Blues 12th consecutive loss which ties the school record for most losses in a row. The Blues lost 12 in a row from 1960-1961. 
Graham has won the last seven in the series.
103rd meeting between the Blues and G-Men dating back to 1926. Graham holds a 57-39-5 advantage. 

VAGUE TAKE OF THE DAY!!!

That is correct. He and Ben Brown split time at QB in that first game in 2012 against Gate City before Baker ultimately took the reigns against Union, Graham, Pulaski, Patrick Co, Honaker and Marion. He was injured in that Honaker game and then the knee gave way in practice leading up to Carroll County. 

Although Baker was going to be the starter in '13, he was injured in the benefit game and it was River Michaels was ultimately the quarterback for all 13 games in 2013.

For the historical aspect that everyone is talking about:
Richlands has went winless two times in school history. The 1937 Blues went 0-7-1. The 1970 Blues went 0-9-1. Richlands has never finished a regular season 0-10. 
Richlands is currently on a 10 game losing streak dating back to the David Crockett game a season ago. It is the longest losing streak the Blue Tornado has had since it lost the final four games of the 1960 season and the first eight games of the 1961 season--a 12 game losing streak that is the longest in RHS history. 
As for the series with Marion, Richlands holds a 46-17-1 advantage in a matchup that dates back to 1930. Marion has not won since 2017. Dating back to 2001, Richlands holds a 20-2 record in the matchup.

THE TWIN VALLEY @ EAST MONTGOMERY GAME HAS BEEN MOVED TO MONDAY, OCT. 30TH 
 
 

Yep, this board has been around a long time...

I'm just going to state the obvious here. Those 90's SWVA Friday night atmospheres were built DIFFERENT.

I now have a person that watched the game (Phelps - Montcalm) tell me it ended 50-0. One of the great mysteries of our time!

If Richlands loses to Virginia High on Friday, it will be its ninth consecutive loss. The longest losing streak for the Blues since they opened the 1969 season with nine consecutive losses.
 
Really appreciate @Bluefield researcher's handiwork in making all this info so accessible.

That's a pretty impressive branch on Norm Lineburg's tree.

Take any man that that lived thru active combat from WWII and I will show you a successful high school coach.
