bhs7695 185 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Why would they have to be replaced? If there is a contract and Byrd does not honor it...Bluefield wins by forfeit. AAA points and no risk of injury to the players. I don't think it would be a "forfeit" game on the schedule. If it is a two game signed contract and one school wants out of the second game, then I believe the school that wants out of the contract has to compensate the other school monetarily.

That's one way to get out of a contract but I also think if a school wants out and leaves the other one hanging, it is considered a forfeit...

GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Why don't Bluefield and Tazewell ever play? They did for a while but the most "recent" games were kinda one-sided thus the series ended... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan4VT 4,557 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Why did RHS drop Bluefield? To pick up better competition???? I know the AD well and I have his kid on the Youth Basketball team I coach and he told me personally that we dropped them because the contract was only for two years and the two sides couldn't agree on a new one.

Catch11 10 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Bluefield got lucky and started playing Richlands at the right time. Richlands should have never lost the game in 07. should've, would've, could've! Two seasons ago, it really doesn't matter at this point. 5 1/2 pages of BS and all we wanted was Bluefields schedule for 2009. I guess Richlands hasn't got lucky on their schedule somewhere. Sometimes it takes luck but I can guarantee that there was a whole lot of skill involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you mean "couldn't agree on a new one"??? What more does it take than saying "OK, we'll play" and then finding a date to play (which they already had). I call BS on that one...

Well, I've heard from a pretty reliable source that William Campbell wanted to come back this past season to play at Bluefield, but Simon didn't want to play them again after the '07 game. Not being able to agree on a new contract with Richlands is a possibility for whatever the two sides couldn't agree on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GetMoney55 11 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Bluefield got lucky and started playing Richlands at the right time. Richlands should have never lost the game in 07. Bluefield got lucky and played Richlands at the right time? Could that also be said that Richlands was unlucky and played Bluefield at the wrong time, having a state championship team one year and the Kennedy Award winning year of Cole the next? Richlands just got beat, plain and simple. No "luck" involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluefield_Rules 46 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Well, I've heard from a pretty reliable source that William Campbell wanted to come back this past season to play at Bluefield, but Simon didn't want to play them again after the '07 game. Wrong. William Campbell starting their season a week earlier than last year is what caused the game not to be played in 2008. The game would have fallen on the same week Bluefield was scheduled to play Princeton in 2008. Obviously, Princeton couldn't rearrange their schedule due to the MSAC, so Bluefield needed the W.C. game to be moved to another week. A mutual week couldn't be found that worked for both schools, so the game wasn't played 2008. But I'm sure Freddy much rathered traveling three hours to Charlotte to play a game rather than playing another home game as you said W.C. agreed to do. That makes perfect sense...

parsons 178 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 That, along with Martinsville's pre-season win against Salem in 2005, makes it one of the two most memorial wins in the annals of sport. Pre-season football tells you all you need to know about the true quality of a football team......... memorial = memorable I must have been sniffing glue that day.

buzzsawBeaver 12 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 people will always be biased for their teams, while they certainly had a sound d, I've seen quite a few title teams which considerably more firepower on o. In my honest opinion graham's '01 team was stronger than their '89 team, they were very strong in '89, but I thought that graham's '01 team was the best team they've had in decades.
