Whatever happened to taking your 11 and playing our 11???  Richlands takes their 6, adds 5 from somewhere else, and then plays...

But, but, but, they had "family ties" to Bluefield...if it works for Richlands, it works for Graham, too...

I think I would prefer to have a little fun with them, myself.  Several co-workers and I have already had some fun at this person's expense.  Our company Christmas party was this weekend and it was a topic of conversation.  If the intended purpose was to somehow reprimand me, it failed miserably. 
 
I will keep the option open though, thanks.

Just because a parent is from a certain place don't mean the kid is...especially when they play at a certain place for 2-3 years then just up and move to a certain place

Now back to this question...
 
I would love to see just how good Coach Mance and his staff really are if they only used "Richlands kids".  I think they would still have a hard-nosed team but I think they would finish 6-4/7-3 tops on an annual basis...and no further than the second round of the current system playoffs.
 
What's everyone's opinion???

I understand the thought process behind what you are saying, I think, but largely disagree with the proposed course of action.  Understanding kids make mistakes is one thing, condoning and even rewarding them for it is an entirely different matter.  I am not trying to get into the whole "generational gap" issue but maybe that's why millennials are by-in-large, out of touch with many social standards.  Kids are not held to any standard much less the same standard we were held to.  I am not suggesting policy and procedure never change from one generation to another but lack of action is still an action.  By not holding him accountable, an action is taken to condone or dismiss the behavior. 
 
Yes, teenagers are prone to emotional outbursts but If this kid plays other sports, he will be far less likely of repeating this behavior given he was held accountable for this decision.  And make no mistake, it was a decision for him to act the way he did.  Life is about the choices we make and every choice carries with it, consequence.  Learning these lessons as a teenager may keep this young man from making a mistake as an adult that follows him for a lifetime.
 
I wasn't at the game but have seen several video clips of this kid pointing and taunting opponents, not only in this game but others as well.  Obviously, he hasn't been held accountable for the behavior prior to now.  If he had, maybe his choice would have been different in that moment.  Maybe a choice by the other "family members" to not allow him on the sideline will reinforce the notion that choices carry consequence. 

I honestly must say Lloyd combs, he suffered a stroke a short while back and has been in/out of nursing home. But yet in his wheelchair he has been hand carried into press boxes to announce games for 100.7 while also contributing to the herald carrier, bluefield daily, and Virginia mountaineer.

If PM wins I'd imagine Hurley fans will be upset, of course, heartbreak is part of the game. But please do not make the mistake that Hurley fans are not respectable and humble in defeat. A few bad apples doesn't ruin a fan base.

Not happening.
 
 
Grundy can't defend the deep pass.  Didn't last year on Rose Ridge, didn't this year next to the 'Y'.
 
 
Exactly.  Ridgeview went through the gauntlet of the Mountain and had tough non conference games against Paintsville and Marion.  The difference showed on the field last week.

Grundy's weak schedule. ROTFLMAO.
They'll be on the road because the D got an F last Friday night.

Looks like score may be 40 or less now. Rumor has it, a running back from Hurley was here at Richlands today.
