Bluefield_Rules 46 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 [ QUOTE ] and also beating them when they were the top ranked team in WVa, [/ QUOTE ] You've beaten Bluefield before, BUT never in a season when they were the top ranked team in WV. Please don't make things up, stick to the facts. In fact, and someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't recall Richlands ever beating a Bluefield team that finished with a winning record. Recent scores of Bluefield/Richlands games I know: 1998: Richlands 34, Bluefield (4-6) 6 1999: Bluefield (12-2) 51, Richlands 7 2000: Bluefield (4-6) 24, Richlands 21 2001: Richlands 49, Bluefield (2-8) 6 2002: Bluefield (9-5) 17, Richlands 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLU 10 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 TRUE. The closest they came was a 21-20 lose in 97 (at RHS) when we went 14-0 (A little home cookn' there.. but we don't cry about it) we just make it happen!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The past is the past, both teams have been on the bad end of some questionable officiating in the past while on the road. Hell, play the freakin' games at Tazewell and Princeton. The fact is that two of the better programs in this region should be facing off against one another every year they possibly can. It would only help both teams greatly down the road come playoff time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It goes both ways and some Richlands fan have ran their mouths are much as some Bluefield fans. It sickening to me when someone tries to chastise another group for doing the same thing that members of their own group are guilty of doing. Again I say, those in glass houses...

old_school_blue 247 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Same old Bluefield crap!!!!!!!I'll admit Bluefield has a great West Virginia program. Now picture this. How many of those "STATE TITLES" would Bluefield win if they were in Virginia. Maybe one or two. Bluefield would certainly not be in the state finals for numerous consecutive years. That is not a shot, that is a straight up fact. At this point I think it would be in Richlands best interest in scheduling a team from the Roanoke area. Not Bluefield, and not because we are dodging a good team or officiating. It's because that's who we end up playing in the VIRGINA playoffs. To be the best you have to beat the best! Bring on Salem, Amherst, Liberty, ...etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzzsawBeaver 12 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 "How many of those "STATE TITLES" would Bluefield win if they were in Virginia." My guess is they'd have at least 8. While agreeing with you about earning the title game opportunity comment, because there's a lot less teams, 2nd place is 2nd place. As for the titles themselves,, any 1 of bluefield's title teams would have been more than competitive in va in those seasons, as with any title team, there's something special about the group of players that actually earn the title, and '84, '97 and '04 all had exceptional teams. Prior to that, chmara's '75 team was loaded and gainer could have had titles anywhere he coached. In fact as the inside story told to me by my uncle goes, gainer moved on from bluefield because he felt there was nothing else he could do and people in bluefield started to complain when bluefield's games weren't all 40 point margins of victory, they had become spoiled. coach gainer prefered building a program, and prefered challenges. From bluefield he went to patrick henry in roanoke where people there said he couldn't win at patrick henry, their program was among the lowest in va in their classification, and they had quite a few 0 - 10 seasons when he started coaching. Their 1st season under gainer they were around 3 - 7, 2nd season they made the playoffs, 3rd season they earned the state title. off topic but a good story. Anyhow, perhaps a lot of people are aruging over nothing, noone has confirmed that bluefield and richlands won't start a series in '07, perhaps they actually will. ..

techfan 43 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 I have a question and this is not just to stir up trouble although some people might take it the wrong way but, why does Bluefield have trouble year in and year out getting a 10th game, one year they had to play Graham twice, then the series against Grundy seemed to come at the last minute, why is it that Bluefield can't get 10 games?

olewave 44 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 In a way look at it as a compliment. Your track record of a winning program has alot to do with it. The overall team speed factor comes in to play. Most teams on this end of the state may have one or two at the most who can fly. But from top to bottom no one matches the team speed of Bluefield. Graham comes close as anyone. This is also the reason Powell Valley has been good. The same goes for J.I. Burton. Yet none reach the level of the Beavers. Some teams like to line up and knock you down, that can take care of some teams speed factor. ( the idea they do not like being hit ) But once again Bluefield brings that hit me in the mouth attitude and the speed factor. All around their program is strong from top to bottom. Coach Simon has carried on the the tradition that he was taught from some of the best.( Chmara, Carlock, Colobro ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzzsawBeaver 12 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 bluefield is fast for certain, even more than that conferences in wv and district schedules make it harder for quality teams to schedule games. aa in southern wv really only has a few teams that can compete with bluefield and they're scheduled, and those that can't don't care to schedule bluefield and vise versa. They used to have some long time common aaa teams on their schedule that could be counted on, such as greenbrier east, and even beckley or pc from va. were on and off their schedule commonly. But anymore the aaa teams in wv aside from princeton aren't going to schedule bluefield because of already being in a hard conference with only 1 or 2 non conference games. On the va. side, bluefield's quality competiion for lots of teams, but sort of the odd team out being a wv school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
