GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 How has the transition been so far??? Are the students feeling "accepted" at their school of choice? Are they seeing more or fewer academic and athletic opportunities so far? How are your Friday nights different now at Graham/Tazewell as opposed to how they were when Pocy was open? Are you finding it easy to cheer for your new school??? Isn't winning a few games fun??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBlueAlum 12 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 I have been in both of the school several times since the new transition, and I havnt seen or heard anything about the "Pocy students". I think that means the transistion is going very smoothly. The ex-Pocahontas students that I have talked to at Graham and Tazewell are loving it. We all know the ones that are playing football at Tazewell are fitting in well. But the ones that I know at Graham are also getting involved with things such as Band, Volleyball, and Cheerleading. I think they are all realizing just how much more they have avaliable to them at thier new schools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dawgs05 10 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 at one point in last weeks tazewell game 6 out of the 11 players on the field were indians last year. and its showing.3-0 Sounds like people are already making excuses as to why Tazewell has fielded a good team this year....W're glad to have the Pocy kids cause I can name at least 3 who are real contributors but don't forget the heart of the team is a punishing runner who has already committed to Wake Forest.

It was not an excuse of any kind. I am a bulldog fan!!!! I was only trying to make it a point to let people know that the kids that came from Pocy are doing a great job for us.

I was only trying to make it a point to let people know that the kids that came from Pocy are doing a great job for us. I was commenting with you...not against you. To the Graham fan with the observation. Yes last year Tazewell was 0-3 and the Pocy kids have really helped out alot. That #33 is a beast on D. But to say its only cause of the Pocy kids is pathetic. Thats a terrible excuse. Actually, they aren't Pocy kids anymore....they are Tazewell kids. Just like all the kids Richlands and Graham draw aren't Raven or Falls Mills kids but kids of their respective schools. Terrible excuse sir.

Hacker 82 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 The Bulldog's are a better team without a doubt. The additional experience they have with the offense, a year's maturity on the returning players, and an influx of new blood from both the Middle School and Pocahantas are all factors. Personnally I hope everyone has a great year and we have competitive games to enjoy each week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlraskul 10 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 I think they are all realizing just how much more they have avaliable to them at thier new schools. there aren't that many things available to former pocy students that weren't already available to them. phs had a band--an award winning band--before the sb decided to hire randy butcher, who didn't feel like teaching the class and used it as a play period instead. class offerings are mostly the same, thanks to fiber optics. the difference lies in the new school colors and the insanely long drive to pick up kids from practices or support them at games. that said, it is nice to see tazewell doing well again, and as many phs kids chose to go there, it's also nice to see them enjoying the on-field success that phs had under coach wyatt in previous years.

GMan 3,569 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 anyone wonder why all the football players came to tazewell I think the answer to that was posted three posts above your's... That and the fact they knew Tazewell was so bad last season that they might have a chance to play... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jets 10 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 or didnt think they'd fit in with the preps at graham. tazewell kids more like pocy kids... dont think their poop dont stink. or because they all knew the coach at tazewell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
