And sometimes bad play calling. I guess some never learn. See Appo game 2015 and last nights game. Im no football coach by any means but common sense can win you some games too. When Richlands scored to go up and got the ball back with about 3 mins left i was saying to myself, please keep doing what got you back in this ballgame. But nope, 3 runs up the middle for about 2 yards and only kills a little over a minute. Marion gets ball, scores and wins. I hate seeing this at any level especially when you are struggling running the ball. 2 minutes is a lot of time at the end of a football game. I can see doing this with under a minute left but not 3 minutes. Why dont you keep doing whats working?
Man, you are so right. Our inability to make a 1st down late in a game has cost us plenty-possibly a State Championship in 2015.
It may be between Graham and Union as to who advances . That being said, the Tornado is still in the mix.a lot of surprises may happen before it is said and done.
The fix is in. I just contacted a VooDoo Queen in New Orleans and she agreed to puta hex on the Hurricane-for a price of course- It is a particular strong hex as the game is on Friday 13th.Blues win by a field goal!
2015 team had Appo on the ropes in the 4th quarter, then a total breakdown on defense-all know the rest of the story. Could this defensive debacle be the reason DP is no longer on the staff? Just wondering.
Graham will be tough for any team on their schedule at Mitchell Stadium. The Bearcats will give them some anxious moments , but the Gmen will prevail. Graham has to travel to Ernie the next week and while I won't predict a win for Richlands they will know they have played a team with a lot of pride and grit.
We were beaten by a very good Appo Team and have nothing to be ashamed about . We are the # 2 team in 2A .We were not at full strength against Appo ,but even if we had been ,it was still a stretch to win the game.We need to remember that not one of us wanted to win today as much as the Kids and the Coaches did. We will be good again in'17as will Appo, ,Union, Gate City ,[i am speaking collectively here] one of us can outpoint the Raiders and let them enjoy the trip to SWVA.-Our Home.PS -If you feel an urge to criticize the Blues or the Coaches-Will you apply for a coaching job if a vacancy occurs?
I know all about Cleatgate. My question is about the relationship of the Coaches .Have heard they crossed paths prior to this game and there were bad feelings both ways.
Giles travels well, but they will never bring a crowd like that which will be at Mitchell Stadium this friday. Graham and Bluefield fans travel from out of state for this game and yes....at least 10,000 in the stadium and a couple more thousand in the parking lot. Ranked as one of the top rivalry games in the country for a reason.
it is not much of rivalry when one team only wins 25% of the games. More like a cake walk for the Beavers.
Get past CC.Play Union football and do not make as many mistakes as the Blues made and you will be State Champs.This Blue Fan is pulling for the BEARS!
