RHS15 10 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 It is really hard to tell right now (kave06), but all i know is that richlands skill positions should be pretty tough this year{backs,recievers,lineman..}!! but it still hard to tell right now how good we are going to be, i guess we will see in our first two scrimages.

wisecav72 10 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 if grundy can iron out the offensive line, they have a good shot of being the best offense, they already have the best running back, and a good qb, with a few good younger receivers. the only problems i can forsee is the line play, if they can get a good, consistent effort outa the line, thell be really good.

zach 10 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 I don't see nothing wrong with Richlands team, they are young and solid. Maybe back0ups on the o-line but they seem solid at the rest. Jennings will get over 1,000 yards and Crackin will get 10+ TD's. Should be explosive year for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBlue02 11 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 Id say its really a toss up between Richlands and Grundy,Richlands's and the depth are going to play a factor again this season,but the loss of the one and only Biscuit worries me,maybe Gayheart can move over there and help out. Grundy's got Marcum,but like Wisecav said They need to get the O-line ironed out. Tazewell had my Vote for 3rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigD4VT 11 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 I can only speak about 1979-1985 and 1998-2004. 98-04 the best was Bradshaw. That kind of talent only comes around this area once every few years. 79-85 was Sandy Rogers of Richlands. He had the speed to get outside, the power to run inside, and the ability to hurdle over people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tid_Bit 10 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 All mentions RB's were very good. Here are some others that have been forgotten. Sandy Roger-Richlands. quentin Reed-Tazewell, Tony Palmer-Graham, Brian Beavers-Richlands, Bo Clements-Tazewell, Marcus Gilbert-Tazewell. These may not have been in the ranks of the Jones or Clarks of Wise county, but they were very good backs in swva. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigD4VT 11 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 [ QUOTE ] Def. sandy rogers has to be in there. didnt go pro or nething but from my dad talkin he was a show to watch. Â [/ QUOTE ] He really did put on a show. I think his size kept him out of the pros. He was built but not very tall. The pro backs were bigger in those days. He did have a pretty good career at Emory & Henry. He broke the D-III single season rushing record Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbie Cruey and Johnny Knuckles were very good for Richlands too. I played with and/or against all 3 of those guys in midget league.

VHSFan999 10 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 There is no way Garon Marcum is the 4th best running back in SWVA history. He is a good back but not top 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
