Fresh_Prince 10 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 I think they are not overrated and are the best team in the state right now. They have the most dept and heart I've ever seen. They are one big heartbeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EH31 2,533 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 I think its weird that they only have gave up 12 points (to this point) all season, and they drop to #2 in the state rankings.. salem had a 7-6 game too, just because richlands has one actually close game, they shouldn't have dropped them. But of course its Salem.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millertime8 10 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 I think the only reason we got dropped from #1 is because Salem's season is already over so they have more power points than we do, after the Lebanon game we should be right back on top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as far as the poll, it means absolutly nothing. Thank god this isn't college football where a poll would decide who plays for a state championship.

redtiger 1,742 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 mabey a little they are the best team in the state but some people seem to think they are unbeatable I dont think that is the common belief but it is out there but I still say they are the best D3 AA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluefield_Rules 46 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Richlands good? Yes. Best in the state? Maybe you should try venturing east to the area they call the Tidewater and see what the football teams out there look like if you think Richlands is the best in the state.

star 10 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 I am a little prejudice, But i think they could qualify in that description. Tide Water or not. The main word is team in that description. they have great goals and work ethics. You have to play them or watch them everyday to appreciate what all the fuss is about. As a team they are one of the best if not the best team that has represented the richlands high school. They have already proven that with all the stats you would like to see. So are they the best? They were ranked number one in the state. that's not just us fans and parents saying that. GO BLUES........one game at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluefield_Rules 46 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 [ QUOTE ] actually they have the top 2 rated receivers in the country..... Â [/ QUOTE ] Â They have two of the top 2, not the top 2. Landstown's Percey Harvin is considered the #1 receiver in the country by a couple of services. While other recruiting services have another Virginia kid, Vidal Hazelton, of Hargrave the #1 receiver. Harvin's teammate, Damon McDaniel, is another top receiver, but he isn't nearly as highly rated by either Harvin or Hazelton. Â Believe it or not, but four of the best receivers in the 2006 class hail from the Tidewater region of Virginia, which is extremely impressive. And if you go by Rivals.com ratings all four are rated among the top 9 receivers in the country.

ghs73 157 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 you know something that is what everyone said in 1989 about graham that we could not play with the big boys of eastern va and that when south hampton would come to blfd that graham would see what it was like to play with the so called big boys of the east. then south hampton had the biggest and toughted running back who was hugh and had run for well over 1000 yards in just a few games. but i think we all know what happened then. win graham. so dont think that richlands could not play with and win against the big boys of the east. they can and if they win against either graham or tazewell then i hope that they bring it home to swva and shut up the nay sayers in this area bout swva and region 4 teams. and that goes for those on the wv side that seem to want to believe that we on the va side cannot compete with the big boys unlike the mighty beavers who i know have won many state titles. but then again they dont play in va and against the big boys from eastern va.

babyblue 10 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 I'll say this to the Blues!! Dont get your heads in the clouds... Believe in yourselves.. Dont get caught up in reading newspapers when you should be in the weight room. Your attitude should be of a hunter hunting! Dont be caught off guard by a team being a hunter. Take care of business. Dont let a team hang around again like Carroll did!! Bad things can happen.. In the playoffs one bad night, a miscommunication or laps in mental.. Can send you home... Season over... Best of Luck... Go gettem.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleted Account 5,203 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Yes, no one is unbeatable, but also consider that those Tidewater region have 2 to 3 times the enrollment Richlands does. Those monsters that play on the line for Tech? From Newport News and Virginia Beach. The Vick boys? From the Hampton Roads region. If Landstown played Richlands, the score would be something like 45-0, not in favor of "The Storm". Settle with bein' the best in AA Division 3. As good as you are, I would bet a good sum of money that you could not take any team in this state you wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichlandsAlum 678 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 [ QUOTE ] Vick Boys, Brooks -NO Saints and Alan Iverson all from Warwick High School  [/ QUOTE ]  Iverson went to Bethel. You're closer on Brooks. He actually graduated from Ferguson (which was closed in 1996 and the kids were then transferred to Warwick).  I can't imagine that the original poster meant to infer that Richlands is the best team in the state spanning every classification. Then again, I can't speak for that poster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if I weren't functionally illiterate, I might've guessed as much. Â Here's hoping that the Blues and Liberty can both make it that far. A semifinal matchup between those two unbeaten teams would be one for the ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
