  1. The following former Richlands players , were letter winners, at Virginia Tech: Billy Cranwell QB..1957 Dickie Cranwell K..1964 Gerald Bobbitte RB, LB ..1962 Chad King DB...1992 Rob Stanton TE..2010 Austin Fuller WR..2010
  2. A few years ago friend of mine from Richlands, Dr. Dave Stanton shared this story with me. Coach Ernie Hicks worked as a part time salesman for his company, Virginian Metals, who built dump truck bodies. Ernie sold stadium seats to the area high schools. Wood/metal bleachers were fabricated at his Richlands shop and assembled on school site, by his employees. Big Creek was one of many schools he mentioned. Coach Hicks sold many, since he was so well know by other coaches and his impeccable reputation. He earned the name The Master of The Clinch.

  13. 1bburgfan must be a digruntied, ex coach at Blacksburg, from his remarks on Coach Wells.
  14. Great game by soph. QB Grant Johnson 33-46-2 474 yards. Johnston, sophTerry and jr.Beck. They will be fun to watch next year, as they improve each week under Coach Wells. I will be at the Roanoke PH game.
  15. Richlands passing game is very good but what happens when a good defensive team forces us into a running game. We have no one to run the ball, after the graduation of Blankinship
  16. I believe Grundy will drop down to 1A, because of low enrollments.
  17. I heard that Richlands will not be playing Grundy, Abingdon and Wise Central in 2017-2018 ?
