I am sure I left someone off this list. Please, post anyone that was a D1 player from Richlands.

Stanton was a great receiver at Richlands and lettered for the Virginia Tech Hokies.

Hokiebird07,

I made my top 10 selections from coaches I had the pleasure of watching their teams play. I am sure Coach Ragdales would have been in my top 5 , if I had included all coaches from Roanoke to Lee county. I am sure from reading his record at Giles High School ( you provided ), he was much deserving of the honors bestowed on him......especially having the stadium named Ragsdale.

I heard Tazewell had only six lifting weights, whereas Richlands had around seventy. This should tell you that Coach Mance has an attractive football program, for a young man.

Staton is out and the Ball kid will start in his place, is the water cooler rumor ?

I heard that coach Wells was going to VA High , as the offensive coordinator.

I watched them work out on Ole Ernie this evening and they aren't very big ............ they look faaaaaast!!

Go Tigers!!!!

If the Hoos can't beat the Hokies on a down year, when will they every win ??????????

Lance, go coach your football team @ Grundy!! You think you a football coach ??????????

Jackson ran the same play as Wright last year and our defense did not adjust. He ran all over The Blues and that is what lost the game.

Ron and Dave @ WGTH had to sit outside @ the RHS and Abingdon game. One of their fans keep yelling into the radio broadcast, until the flood gates opened up in the 4th qtr.......she left.

It is just a game .

A.J. is the best all around athlete I have seen play for RHS. Keep giving him the ball until they shut him down.

Is he another one of Richlands hold backs ?

Mike Compton

Sorry!!!! Mike @ WVU. He is a personal friend and the best to come out of Richlands.

Julius Jones would have to be my favorite, since he played for Notre Dame.

I thought of some former players @ Richlands, that played D-1 football:

Kelly Buskill @ Uva 50's

L.C. Lawson @ Uva 50's

Dale Cristrian @ UVA 50's

Bill Cranwell @VT 50's

Jim Sam Gillespie @VMI 50's

Gerald (Red) Bobbitte @VT 50's

Dickie Cranwell @VT 50's

Mark Ginn @ Wake Forest 80's

Chad King @ VT 80's

Rob Stanton @VT 2000's

Austin Fuller @ VT 2000's

Devon Johnson @ Marshall 2000's

I hope I did not leave anyone out.

This obsession you girls have with Richlands is getting a little creepy!!!:eek:

I heard Logan Thomas parents had purchased a house @ Cedar Bluff and he would suit up for Richlands on Friday night . Coach mance would drive him back to Hotel Roanoke, so he could make curfew and play for the Hokies on Saturday.

I know for a fact Tazewell has two hold backs on JV: Elkins and Blankenship

Richlands has a new QB coach and has installed a new offense. Coach Wells coached at Radford before coming to RHS. It will take a few games to get the players used to the new system.

I agree G Man, this is a mismatch. I have preached for years, that we should have six classifications.

I have agree bluenado5 University of Richmond is my favorite.

Elon is 2nd

VA Tech

Emory and Henry

Oberlin, Ohio

UVA

Less favorite is UNC

Congratulations Devon and Josh. I am sure Rob Stanton is glad you chose Richmond.

Congratulations Lowell Lagrunsacie "Sonny" Hagy. A former ourstanding football and basketbal player, for Richlands 1960-63. All of the Blue Tornadoes will be pulling for you Sonny..
