old_school_blue 247 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 [ QUOTE ] i dont think that any area stadium can have more noise than mitchell stadium during the graham beaver game. so as far as noise graham has played with a lot more noise than can come from the stands at richlands. the stadium cannot hold near as many as mitchell stadium can and the noise level is extremely loud. so i dont think that will be a big factor in this game. [/ QUOTE ] It ain't Mitchell, and we are not Bluefield. The majority of fans in SWVA will tell you that Ernie Hicks is the most dreaded stadium this side of Lane Stadium. It is good to support your team! But, don't forget your ear plugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Correct! It is not Mitchell. The only reason a "majority of the fans in SWVA" think that EH is the "most dreaded" is due to the fact that they can't see anything from that pitiful thing you call bleachers on the visitors side. That is the only thing anybody dreads about going to Richlands. The "noise" from the home side disipates rather quickly in that vast openness...lack of an "echo effect" makes EH rather average in the relm of crowd noise vs. number of fans in the stands. IMO, Legion Field at Gate City is far more intimidating than EH...but that's just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigD4VT 11 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 You guys are all missing the point. Noise at the high school level (in any stadium) isn't going to disrupt the visting offense. It does however fire up the home defense and help them disrupt the visiting offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] In our last 17 trips to Ernie Hicks stadium, our record vs Richlands is 11-6, including this year. Of those 6 wins for Richlands two of those were 7-6 scores (1980,1985).So yes that is a real intimidating place for the Graham G-men. If you are the Virginia High Bearcats, or the Marion Scarlet Hurricane it may be intimidating, but not for us, we own you there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lee 10 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 yes but they only have too players back from then a qb and center witch is a big deal because you need the good and fast sanp from the center and then the qb used to the rb to hand the ball off so that waS a big deal but i still dont see it being enough to pull of a win against the blues esspecially at EH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that's all you and Richlands think that Graham has...the running game. Neither Workman nor Cole played vs. Richlands...Graham's passing game was non-existant the first time around. Keep dusting off that spot in the trophy case... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that is what they all think. This WILL be a close game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghs73 157 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 that may be true big dave but it also fires up the gmen at the same time playing at eh. every time i have been to a graham richlands game i only hear the cheering when i am at the concession stand difficult to hear that anywhere else at the stadium. and richlands should not need the fans to get them fired up for graham. i know graham doesnt need it to get fired up for this game.

ghs73 157 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 no one is too good to be stopped in highschool football. just ask weir hs. they thought they were unbeatable but lost earlier in the year. and bluefield from year to year thinks they are unstoppable but have found out from time to time that every team can be beat at any given time. so you and the richlands fans continue to count graham out of this game. just like beaver did on august of this year. and the results will be the same a graham victory. 21-14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
