VHSLhelper 571 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 He needs a better research associate ... Little said there is still a question if the Bluefield-Graham game will be broadcast on its website “It is going to be simulcast, each school gets a $500 scholarship..., and we’re going to have a player in the hall of fame,” Marrs said.

beaverbaseball 10 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 (edited) They might not be ESPN, but it's still nice to see both schools being recognized Edited August 20, 2010 by beaverbaseball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluefield_Rules 46 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 WVVA and the Bluefield Daily Telegraph have some egg on their face too...what a mess. Yes, because they listened to Marrs and didn't do any checking of their own for more information. Everyone makes mistakes, but to mislead the community, media outlets, etc. for an extended period of time is rough. I'm just glad he did take full responsibility.

Deleted Account 5,203 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 Yes, because they listened to Marrs and didn't do any checking of their own for more information. Everyone makes mistakes, but to mislead the community, media outlets, etc. for an extended period of time is rough. I'm just glad he did take full responsibility. What a fiasco. It proves two larger points: 1. That the local media is G-A-R-B-A-G-E. I'm afraid that my birds would get sick from the "stupid" if I lined their cages with it. But we already knew that. 2. Marrs's mistake is telling in two ways. First, it's an oversight that's beyond egregious. It shows that he's not paying general attention to his program (which he is, judging from the record). Second, it goes to show that he will persist in believing something, even to his own detriment, until called out upon it. Mule-headedness is a terrible thing, especially in a landscape that changes as often as HS football does. I weep for the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were told that ESPN was coming to town by the head coach of one of the teams involved. Why would they doubt that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance 228 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 sounds like an honest mistake to me...we've all made them...this one was just public, and a bit odd. The local media do a pretty good job for the most part...it would be pretty "stupid" around here without them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futbolking 766 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 if i was the team and community i would be more worried about 3 straight losing seasons. And the lack of participation and number of kids who leave the team..... I think a coach is somebody who inspires and motivates kids to come out for a team and play and be a part of something special...not motivate kids to quit.
