Great job on this Brady.  Good to show all the history and the fact that coach Mance made such an impact on our area.  The next HC will have some gigantic shoes to fill.  Mance will forever be remembered as the coach that brought "Friday Night Lights" to Richlands.  GO BLUES!!!

I'll be waiting right here with your fresh plate of hot crow.

Thought you guys might wanna see the prediction and write up for the game tonight. Good luck to Richlands, but here's hoping my Bearcats can pull it out.

Just want to say good luck to both teams and hope for no injuries. BUT,  I want to call out our (Richlands') fans this week because it was embarrassing last week from a former player's standpoint looking in the stands and seeing not even a half full stadium.  Hope Bristol and RIchlands packs the joint out and makes for not only a great game but great atmosphere for the kids, they DESERVE fans showing up.  GO BLUES!! What was it Cola always said, "The Storm is brewing"......Richlands 28 VHigh 27

Mance always chooses to play on a Friday night at the Ernie when he has a choice.
 
One thing to consider in this game, two of the VA High  football coaches were coaching at Richlands last year.
 
These coaches know the tendencies and the indepth idiosyncrasies
of all of the Richlands players except maybe for the freshmen. Not only does Richlands have to prepare for a team they've played and beaten in the regular season, but many of the newer plays they developed for the regular season game, are not new to VA High anymore. VA High probably has more in depth knowledge of the Richlands football program than any other team they've prepared against.
 
That being said..."it is what it is"...and you try to prep the best you can against another team who intimately knows your program inside and out. Ultimately, it comes down to the players executing ...and with both teams playing better in the latter part of the season (and healthy)... also, both advancing to the second round of the playoffs...the ole saying is true..."whichever team wants it most and makes the least mistakes wins this game."
 
With all of the above being said, I'm a Richlands' fan and believe we can win this game... I'm sure the VA High fans believe they can win too.

Shout out to #66, he had a great game on that O Line
