WeirFootball 10 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 We've had our differences, but I have had the chance to step back and realize the magnitude of the success that Bluefield has had historically and especially recently. Since 1997(including this year), Bluefield will have made EIGHT trips to Wheeling. That is unreal. This Weir fan is going to be there Friday pulling for Bluefield. They have too much athleticism and speed for Wayne. Bluefield by 10-14. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarMike 10 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 (edited) where do they have title games in nc? Â Well, there are 8 divisions here in NC. You have: Â 4AA & 4A 3AA & 3A 2AA & 2A 1AA & 1A Â All Championship games are played on College football fields. UNC, Duke, Wake Forest, and NC State rotate from year to year and each host a set of Championship games. I'm pretty fortunate that I live 20 miles from Winston-Salem and 80 miles from Chapel Hill/Durham/Raleigh. Â My high school has not had a winning record since my senior year. ['88] Horrible football program. As good as Bluefields has been, it's the opposite for my high school. lol [south Stokes] Edited December 1, 2009 by CarMike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to deliver tires to Eastern Tennessee. Morristown, Greenville, Kingsport, Elizabethton, Johnson City. Beautiful part of the state. That's a long ride for sure. lol  I may take my son out of school and head up there Friday. With Christmas around the corner $$$ has been tight. Still undecided. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have too much athleticism and speed for Wayne. Bluefield by 10-14. Â It really is pretty amazing...if you go back to 1995 this year marks 9 trips to Wheeling and the 15th State Title appearance for the Beavers in 50 years. A truly remarkable record and one any school and community should be very proud of. I think it is also important to note that in those 50 years there has only been three head coaches as well. Â Quite a long tradition of excellence to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a wonderful trip and provides good "bonding time" for father and son, etc. The drive up is filled with excitement and anticipation. The drive back is a time for reflection on the season and if you win it's even more enjoyable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to go to Wheeling for the game. Still not sure if I'll be making the trip, I've got a lot on my plate these next couple of weeks.

trublue 939 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 (edited) He might be from Richlands (have my doubts) but he's NOT a Richlands' fan. Read his first post about Richlands ("they couldn't play mumbly pegs) what kid would use that kind of language? Also, why would he be on here taking shots at Blfd. ....someone that wants to do a little stirring and obviously it's working.

Â Wish you could make the trip. Looking forward to meeting up with some folks from the board. Â They recently raised the tolls on 77 after much heated debate, I believe it's two dollar per car. Gotta keep those fat, criminal politicians in Charleston well feed. If I'm not mistaken you'll go through four tolls on 77. Â And ignore the trouble-maker. He's simply jealous, envious, etc. that his team isn't playing for a state title. Edited December 1, 2009 by Bluefield_Rules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hokie07 11 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 If I'm not mistaken you'll go through four tolls on 77.  I'm counting only three, am I missing one? 1.) Ghent, outside Winterplace 2.) Past Oak Hill 3.) Right before Charleston  Are there any past Charleston? I don't recall of any, but I've been wrong a time or two in my life.

hokie07 11 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 I wasn't sure about four. I thought there was one right after you leave Charleston. Â I'm 99% certain that there is no toll after Charleston, unless there is one up closer to Parkersburg and/or Ohio. I'm pretty familiar with the interstates around Charleston, and the toll by Riverside is the only one I can recall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
