I'll just say I hope there's a lot of improvement from game one to game two for the Blues. Go Big Blue!

Gate City has played tough with Richlands as well. It looks like some here are predicting a drop off in talent at GC. We shall see.

I picked Marion to win, but I believe it's going to be a dogfight.

The College and Pro Sports thread is available. ; ) And it's not exactly busy at the moment.

Congrats, Ryan!

I just got home from the beach. Wow! This looks great. It may take me some time to learn how to navigate, because I'm old as dirt, but I really like the new look!

He joined in August of 2013, and has seven posts. Now that's called being "productive"!

His name is Bill Holmes, class of 1969. He would have been a freshman in this pic.

What he said! ^^^

Thanks, @Gman. I believe Saltville officially changed the name of the high school from "Saltville High" to "R.B. Worthy" when the new school was built in 1957, but even the Saltville residents still called it "Saltville High School" for many years thereafter. I moved there in 1960, and always knew it as R.B. Worthy until it became "Northwood H.S." back in 1987. The Saltville (or R.B. Worthy) "Shakers" will always be one of the most interesting and unusual nicknames I have ever known.

I just got this info from a Saltville friend who is very knowledgeable about Saltville and R.B. Worthy. When districts were created, SHS was in District 7. From the fall of '56 to spring of '65, we were in the Southwest District. Back then, we were the smallest school in the Southwest District because the VHSL would allow schools to compete in a district with larger schools if they felt they could do so. We won or shared the Southwest District football title three times for the 9 years we were in it. Graham, the next smallest school, won or shared it at least 4 times while we were in it. In the fall of '65, we were placed in a new District 6. In the fall of '70, a new Hogoheegee District was created that we are still competing in.

Thanks, @RichlandsAlum. I guess I was thinking Saltville and Abingdon were in the same district because we played them often.

Maybe the district was named something else back then, but Saltville (R.B. Worthy) was always in the same district as Graham, Grundy, Abingdon and Tazewell when I was there in 1967 and before. But I always thought it was the Southwest District. Would love to see more info on that.

Saltville was in the SWD back when they were the R.B. Worthy Shakers. I left Saltville to come to Richlands in 1967. Saltville used to have some really good football teams back in the day.

Let me know when you decide to post the truth. We're all anxious to see your transition.

No, you're fake as well. I was just hitting the highlights. And the next time you post the truth will be the first.

I guess this was just a weak moment for ya. Lol! You're a liar, as well as a troll. Look, you're not fooling anyone, troll boy. We know why you're here. Just admit you're a jealous troll with your sole reason for exhistance being to stir up shit. We know that's who you are. You're a shit-stirrer. You're a weak excuse for a football fan, that we know.

We know you don't "get it". You're a troll.

No, it doesn't. You made it about other coaches, showing your jealousy. It's about Coach Colobro. If you need some lessons in comprehending what is written, I'm here to help. Don't just continue to show your lack of education and understanding. We can see that clearly. This is about being correct. You're not. That's clear.

No, it's about coach Colobro. He's the Tazewell coach. This has nothing to do with the team and coach to which you harbor so much jealousy.
