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
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.
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
