Giles goes right down in less then 2 min and scores again. 28-10 at the half.

Reed scores for Bluefield

Can they spare a few for Bluefield to use??

Giles is running all over Bluefield. Giles has three penalties and only one play that Bluefield stopped for a loss. Giles has scored three times on three possessions and it's 21-3 now

Giles scores again. Bluefield has only 1 tackle for a loss so far.

Bluefield goes 3 and out

Giles scores first drive and Bluefield appears to have same defensive problem as last season.

Five day with MNF on ESPN....

Truck is a load to bring down and he was in little league football when I watched him. For Bluefield it's still going to start up front and if they can get good play from the line, then that will help give the backs room to run and make plays. Like I've stated before I''m still not sold on how good Bluefield will be this year because they've struggled with consistency the last few years. They'll have speed and athleticism a plenty, but getting them to play consistently on both side of the ball will be key for this season.

Apparently Graham is 1-0 having already beaten Bluefield 23-0. http://wvmetronews.com/high-school-football-scores/?week=1

Bluefield's line was abused when they went against more physical teams last year and the Beavers lost four starters there. The secondary had major problems against good teams too. I'm not sold on how good Bluefield will be. I think they'll field a young team but they still have a difference maker in Mookie Collier running the ball. Reed is faster but I think Collier is still the best player on the team.

Coal Forum Demands Candidates Support Coal Industry The West Virginia Coal Forum is calling on all presidential candidates to respect and protect the coal industry and the miners who have built this nation. The Coal Forum is an organization representing business and labor in West Virginia’s coal industry. As the public now should be abundantly aware, presidential candidate Hillary Clinton made it clear this week that she will continue the Obama Administration’s war on coal. “We’re going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business,†Clinton said Sunday night while boasting about her clean energy program — and with a big smile on her face, according to media coverage of the event. The remarks were made during at a CNN town-hall event. In West Virginia, with more 12,000 miners laid off, hundreds of mine closures and over 65 million tons of lost production, her threats are nothing to smile about. “At the West Virginia Coal Forum, we know it’s a tough time to be a coal miner. We’ve had it bad enough for the past seven years under the current administration. But when someone who wants to be a world leader states unequivocally her intention to put more of our proud miners and companies out of work, it’s time for the electorate to hit a giant pause button,†said Coal Forum Co-Chairman Chris Hamilton. Clinton told the crowd she planned to use $30 billion in taxpayer funds to retrain coal miners for other fields, but as several media outlets pointed out this week, she might be hard-pressed to find an industry she supports. “But retrain for what?†the New York Post wrote March 14. “Name a single working-class industry that the modern Democratic Party actually favors. (And, no, “green jobs†don’t count: They exist almost exclusively in liberal rhetoric.)†The Coal Forum urges all presidential candidates to educate themselves about the reality of electric power generation and construction in the United States. “This nation cannot thrive without using coal for power and to make steel. That’s the plain and simple truth,†Hamilton said. “And the rest of the world knows it. Anyone who wants to be president of this great nation needs to stand up for coal and stand up for steel.â€

I thought it was hilarious during the Flint, Michigan debate when she was calling for the Governor to resign over the water crisis. She was directly responsible for people being murdered and she wasn't forced out! Witch!!

Well she says she pretty much wants to finish killing off huge chunks of the energy sector (fracking & mining) when elected. Nice view for job losses and the U.S. economy she has.

If someone would handle the franchise fee I would bet a Chick Fil A would kick ass in the area. I also love Pal's Sudden Sevice. I gotta think Pal's is slowly making its way to the area.

This may have been posted around here somewhere before: The kids filed into class Monday morning. They were all very excited.Their weekend assignment was to sell something, then give a talk on salesmanship. Little Sally led off. "I sold Girl Scout cookies and I made $30" she said proudly,"My sales approach was to appeal to the customer's civil spirit and I credit that approach for my obvious success." "Very good", said the teacher. Little Debbie was next. "I sold magazines" she said, "I made $45 and I explained to everyone that magazines would keep them up on current events." "Very good, Debbie", said the teacher. Eventually, it was Little Johnny's turn. The teacher held her breath. Little Johnny walked to the front of the classroom and dumped a box full of cash on the teacher's desk."$2,467", he said."$2,467!" cried the teacher, "What in the world were you selling?" "Toothbrushes", said Little Johnny. "Toothbrushes", echoed the teacher, "How could you possibly sell enough tooth brushes to make that much money?" "I found the busiest corner in town", said Little Johnny, "I set up a Dip & Chip stand and I gave everybody who walked by a free sample. "They all said the same thing, "Hey,this tastes like dog shit!" Then I would say, "It is dog shit. Wanna buy a toothbrush? I used the President Obama method of giving you some crap, dressing it up so it looks good, telling you it's free and then making you pay to get the bad taste out of your mouth." Little Johnny got five stars for his assignment

Someone asked me the other day about someone from Bluefield transferring to Tazewell. I hadn't heard that and would be shocked if true just to play football there.

No one saw Randy Moss with the DuPont basketball team against Bluefield at the Bluefield Armory in February '95? He was a one man team that night since Jason Williams graduated the previous year and we beat them by over 20 on our way to the AA state title. Gene Nabors from Woodrow Wilson we beat that team in '95 at the Armory and he played pro overseas. Tamar Slay from Woodrow played against Bluefield at the Armory that I saw. I can't remember if Carlos Bradly made the NBA from Woodrow or not, but he started guard for South Carolina for two or three years under Dave Odom. I believe he played pro overseas. Saw Rafael Cruz from Wheeling Park play in Beckley in the mid '90. He played pro in his native Puerto Rico. Saw O J Mayo and Patrick Patterson from Huntington High in Charleston at the state tourney. Saw Brett Nelson at the Charleston state tourney from St. Albans High School. Yubrenal Isabelle from Bluefield played NFL Europe for a few years for Scotland after being drafted by New England. I'm a little late to the party here I know.

If UVA keeps losing ACC games like this they'll be the biggest disappointment of this conference basketball season.

LOL she wears that shirt most game days, PERIOD!!! lol

Skylar Howard was a highly ranked JUCO when he signed with WVU and he sucks. I wouldn't be to high on this kid that VT signed just yet. VT may very well go 4-8 next year

I know the blonde lady in the background. She's a Graham grad

I thought the course near Gary, WV was challenging enough with the "uni-fairway."

Doug Doughty of Roanoke Times says his informant tells him that Mark Richt was never in Charlottesville this week.

Wow Abingdon
