Surely you're not serious about replacing wade that easy. Not taking anything away from Dillon but he will be replacing a player thats a 2 time all state linebacker. I think you will realize wade was more than just a tackling machine on that defense and team.
I never said they were better than either team. Most teams have to deal with starters out at one time or another. Marion has had their share of them out. We had two out against Union.
Nothing wrong with Falcon fans getting excited. They are legit this year and beat Richlands, whether they had two starters out or not
. Just don't start making assumptions that Abingdon is better than Bluefield or Lord based on a single game against a flat Richlands performance. Thinking that way will get you beat in the next two games. RHS actually had four starters out two more than in previous games.
No sour grapes intended, but I wonder if the Falcons are really better than Bluefield and or Lord Botetourt.They may see LB in the playoffs. If so,I will be a Falcon fan.
. Let's just say Abingdon caught Richlands on a good week. Richlands comes out of a open week with an additional two key players out. And for some reason very flat. Not making excuses for RHS but Abingdon did not get the Richlands team that played Bluefield or Lord. So, let's not get to excited Falcon nation!
Let's hope that the o-line, d-line, receiving corp, dbs can come together. And the qb can stay healthy!! Lets not count our chickens so fast. This team will need time to jell.
Well put! I agree, people and the players need to understand that just because we have "R" on our helmets doesn't mean victories will just fall at our feet.
OTE=old_school_blue;301833]The 46 defense was inventive in 1985, not 2013. If Richlands takes the "Ryan" family style, should have coaches fist fighting on the sidelines.
On the contrary, you will find 10 opponents ready and willing to suit up against Richlands. There are teams in AA (Division II) that are capable of handling Richlands. Go ask Goochland and Gretna. Neither are afraid of Richlands. Need to be more concerned with getting better than "spreading the legend." Really concerned about stopping the run. Have had problems with that for the last few years. The problem with blitzing 90 % of the time is that it will open holes that give way to 80 yard runs. Prefer a more "fundamental" approach to defense. Just my 2 cents.
From a person who has observed the Richlands program up close for several years now I believe I can honestly say the transfers have done more harm than good for the program. For many reasons to lengthy and touchy to discuss on this forum.
As this program continues to decline in the next few years those of you who are offended will join the BAND WAGON. Sorry to bust your bubble but there are many in the stands who are loyal fans who feel the same as I do. By the way , I havent missed a game in 21 years so take that and shove it.
Buddy, if you think the program is in decline you haven't paid attention to the talent coming up!! I predict a run starting next year for three years of state appearances!! With the new alignment it's going to be fun.
Not the game I was expecting. Richlands looked like they played their best all year and Tazewell looked like they did day one... I was very disappointed in the way the boys played. None of them looked like they gave over 60%. Wish Tazewell would have brought the same team they did the last two weeks. The Refs played more then the kids, Im surprised their arms didn't fall off with all those penalties both ways!!
Maybe just maybe the other team had something to do with how tazewell looked! They were not playing Carroll or abingdon!!!!
Actually most of these newer helmets are molded plastic. They are not painted. So if they are missing paint, then they are probably helmets from the 80's.
What does this statement mean exactly then?! For cryin out loud!!!!!

There are no helmets from the 80s being used for cryin out loud!!

Funny how this thread turned into helmet discussion!?
Richlands has the talent to be as good as in years passed the thing that makes this team to appear down this year over years past is the fact that the teams in years past played together as a TEAM this one is a group of individuals each out for what is best for them.
The biggest problem with this team is lack of leadership!
