Mingo Central cost Bluefield a Friday night game.

Wayne did a masterful job of ball control all night. Wayne probably had 75 plays. Never seen that before in a game.

Bluefield has only run 15 offensive plays this game.

Mookie with pick 6!!!

Truck Edwards from 90 yards away for 6 points for Bluefield. 14-0

Mookie for 6 for Bluefield

One opinion: http://wvmetronews.com/2015/11/03/the-lunch-richrod-to-hokies-merely-a-technicality-right/

Reminds me of Harry Doyle calling games in Major League.

What a catch by Truck for Bluefield down the Blues 5

Mookie!!!

I'm really surprised Richlands isn't throwing the ball more. Bluefield can't defend those receivers consistently.

Look at the amount of points Bluefield has given up compared to the rest of the WV AA field. That's staggering. http://wvmetronews.com/2015/09/29/wvssac-hs-football-rankings-week-6/ CLASS AA Rank School Rating Won Lost Tied Scored Allowed Points Bonus 1 FAIRMONT SENIOR 12.8 5 0 0 192 87 54 10 2 BLUEFIELD 12.2 5 0 0 234 154 54 7 3 BRIDGEPORT 11.4 4 0 1 216 34 51 6 T-4 CHAPMANVILLE 11 5 0 0 214 97 48 7 T-4 JAMES MONROE 11 4 0 0 165 58 39 5 6 KEYSER 10.8 5 0 0 228 74 45 9 7 TOLSIA 10.6 5 0 0 200 102 42 11 8 LINCOLN 8.2 4 1 0 198 47 36 5 9 ROANE COUNTY 8 4 1 0 239 123 36 4 10 INDEPENDENCE 7.8 4 1 0 150 64 36 3 11 MINGO CENTRAL 7.75 3 1 0 187 85 30 1 T-12 LIBERTY (Raleigh) 7.4 4 1 0 170 43 33 4 T-12 SUMMERS COUNTY 7.4 4 1 0 145 91 33 4 T-12 WEIR 7.4 4 1 0 200 130 33 4 15 NORTH MARION 6.75 2 2 0 112 114 24 3 16 NICHOLAS COUNTY 6.25 3 1 0 137 62 24 1 17 ROBERT C.

I wonder if this game stands a chance of getting postponed with the weather threat Friday night.

I saw Richlands shut down Bluefield pretty well last year even with the suspensions. Maybe Reed and the other three kids would have been the difference in that game, maybe not. I still would have liked to have seen what Reed could have done in that game last year. He'll get his chance Friday night but this game is going to be played in the rain all night it looks like. Ugh!

No one in the state of WV has anyone that can run with Reed in the open field since he's the two-time defending 100M champ. lol Collier is about a half step slower if that much. I don't know how fast the Edwards kid is a fullback, but I've watched him carry tacklers and run over people since rec league ball. That kid is strong. His nickname is "Truck" for obvious reason. He's also outran defenses to the end zone when he got into the open field. I've watched lesser teams control the edge on Bluefield and bottle them up. If Richlands bites on that double handoff play that Bluefield runs then one of those backs will be gone with the ball to the house. I've not seen Richlands play, but Richlands has blown out the two teams that Bluefield struggled with. Bluefield couldn't put either of them away until the last min of each of those games. That should tell the story how this game comes out. Richlands will be more disciplined I believe and make it really hard for Bluefield to get guys in the open field. I'm not trying to mis-lead anyone. I'm just giving my gut feeling based on what I've seen from Bluefield. I've been watching Beaver games for over 20 years and I don't think this Bluefield team is anywhere close to championship caliber. There's something about them that they haven't put it together for the last couple of years and I don't see it in this team yet either. Not to take anything away from the kids on the team by any means. I know a few of them off the field and they're great kids and a lot of fun to be around. They bust their butts and want to win.

Correct, the 1998 Bluefield team was 4-6 that year. http://bhsbeaversfootball.com/history.htm

There is a Sophomore fullback that pretty quick and strong. He had 150 yards and two TDs on Greenbrier East pretty much running up the middle. He did some damage to Princeton and Gate City as well up the middle. Bluefield has speed and some talent but it's young. The line is mostly seniors. Whatever the reason is they just have long periods in games where they don't block well on offense, control gaps on defense, or cover receivers at all. With Reed and Collier back to receive kickoffs and punts, hardly anyone has been kicking deep to them for obvious reasons. I've seen shades of these same problems from Bluefield the previous two seasons and it helped lead to early playoff exits. Richlands will be the first complete team they've played and I believe that Richlands will trounce them up and down the field. I really hope I'm wrong, but we'll see what happens.

Richlands players will think it's sandlot football in Mitchell Stadium this Friday night. They'll find Bluefield so easy to run though and score on they'll think they're playing the game in a dreamland. I said before Richlands will score at will on Bluefield. Aside from #75 Maxey, this is the worst Bluefield tackling and coverage defense I've seen in a very very long time. Hell, this will probably be the most lopsided score in the series history when the game in finished Friday. I remember Wayne came into Bluefield in 2011 and blitzed them right out of the stadium from the start. I wouldn't be surprised to see the same thing happen for Richlands.

Not really, Bluefield will lose by 4 TDs at least.

I think the Greenbrier punt on their first series is the only punt in the game by either team.

I doubt that will matter how Richlands starts. Bluefield isn't tackling anyone tonight and they've gotten worse the last few games. It's like a video game at Greenbrier East tonight.

Richlands will score at will next Friday night. Worst Bluefield tackling team I've seen in years.

That doesn't seem possible for the first half!! lol
