Have you forgotten "innocent until PROVEN guilty"?

Richlands' Austin Fuller and Shane Wicks will be playing in the East-West game July 4th.

They are stupid...or ignorant of the amount of money it costs for the fire dept, police dept, bomb squad...and that money comes from us, the taxpayers, the parents of these kids!!! Thousands of $$ are wasted on these pranks, and emer. personnel could be available for real situations. Punishment should be stiff.

Apparently Monty has a 6'6", athletic quarterback as well as a running back that has broken numerous records in his region of the state. It should be an interesting game next weekend in Lynchburg. Maybe I'll go if I can get a ride from someone... [/ QUOTE ] Someone from the bluenecknation will give you a ride. Congratulations to Bluefield on the state title! Seriously...pm me if you want us to take you.

[ QUOTE ] sounded like Richlands hired another fine zebra crew for this game bad calls for both sides...where did they find these guys [/ QUOTE ] Check the stats on penalties before questioning the officiating. There were numerous "no-calls"...interference on Fuller before half, Brookville QB past line of scrimmage on 4th qtr pass, and intentional grounding. I believe Richlands had MORE penalties. Understand you dislike Richlands but you need stats to back up your arguments...sort of like when you said Coach Mance wanted to take Pocy's coaching supplements b/c Richlands was winning (check the documented school board minutes on what was really said...think it was based on the amount of players in the program- nothing to do with winning." Have a great day...sorry about going off on a tangent, but it irks me greatly when I see the Gunz9 name b/c we know it's your OPINION instead of the facts. P. S. Didn't you use to work at RHS as a resource officer????

[ QUOTE ] eh they say the same thing about Richlands, Grundy, Tazewell, or any other area team that wins a big game...just ignore it and laugh at them. [/ QUOTE ] Amen.

[ QUOTE ] When Austin Fuller intercepted Mayo's throw on 3 yard line last year to seal the win for the Blues 2nd state title. [/ QUOTE ] Yeah...I started breathing again after that interception! But the Wicks hit...man...if you like seeing decapitation...!

[ QUOTE ] Taking nothing away from Richlands but Patrick County was pitiful. I believe almost any region C or D division 2 team could have beat them and most division 1 teams. How does a team that bad get in the playoffs? [/ QUOTE ] Taking nothing away from Lebanon, but people said the same thing after watching Richlands & Lebanon the last 4 years...

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Graham doesn't stand a chance in this game...its a Richlands-dominated officiating crew... [/ QUOTE ] I can't believe you posted that ! But,I won't argue with a ............... whats your old saying ? [/ QUOTE ] All the names I heard of the officiating crew are either current residents of Richlands, have coached/taught at Richlands, went to Richlands, or a combination thereof...this crew is known as the "Richlands Mafia"... [/ QUOTE ] Speaking as a Richlands fan, I want Graham to win so we can give you guys the whipping you deserved earlier in the season. Guess you already have a pretty handy excuse ready if your lucky enough to get that far. [/ QUOTE ] The "Richlands Mafia" isn't going to let Graham get a second shot at Richlands...that's what the Richlands fans really want anyway...they don't want to have to play Graham again... [/ QUOTE ] I was on the field after the Richlands/Patrick Co game and know for a fact that the coaches and players were EXTREMELY disappointed that Graham got beat. Sort of the same feeling where Tazewell beat you guys in regular season and you got a shot a them again and dominated Tazewell in the playoffs. You can blame the refs, the weather, or anything you want, but don't get on here and say that Richlands did not want another shot at Graham. Trust me...all Richlands coaches and players dearly wanted to play Graham again and were most definitely pulling for you. Congratulations on a great season...I guess you get to keep your bragging rights for a year.

Congratulations Spartans on the win over Floyd!

True...I heard Rags may be retiring from teaching but not from coaching the Spartans!

I guess Rivals' state and national rankings have no effect on potential scholarship players. Austin Fuller is ranked in the top 20 players in the state overall (all positions) and 74th national best WR. Justin did not make any of the above though he IS the best QB that Richlands has ever had. Both are great players and from SWVA. YOU should support BOTH if you are a TRUE Blues fan; why wouldn't you be excited for both athletes? I guess you think Coach Mance has something to do with the national & state rankings too? Way to go playing two outstanding young men from the same school against each other.

I believe oldskool was talking about working on his "football" craft.

FULLER WILL NOT PLAY BASKETBALL. He will lift during the winter and play baseball this spring.

If you were a Richlands' fan, you'd get it- but understandably you don't. Storm, thunder, lightning...The Blue Tornado!!!
