Jason 299 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 We all have been reading about Richlands schedule changes. What are any others throughout Virginia and West Virginia? Gate City looks to be no longer playing Tazewell or Appalachia next year and are in talks with JJ Kelly and Sullivan North. I read where another poster here said the Bluefield game is still up in air. I hope that game stays as is. Since it looks like the GC vs. Tazewell game will be no more do any Bulldog fans know what their schedule will look like next season?

I have heard that the Graham will stay on the schedule even with them dropping down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89Tornado 10 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 Wonder what happened there? my best guess is, the thought of losing the gate $$$$. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadoball 18 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 my best guess is, the thought of losing the gate $$$$. I still think it should just be a benefit game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan4VT 4,557 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 No doubt about that!!! Bring Bluefield back on Richlands schedule!!! 100% agree. Honaker needs to be the benefit game. We need to bring in a high caliber team in their place, such as Bluefield, Cburg, Anybody like that. Bluefield being the best choice.

VHSLhelper 571 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 y'all are forgetting... 1/3 of the benefit game gate goes to the VHSL; keep the game in the reg. season and keep that extra $ here. I was thinking the reason was ratings points. Honaker could get more points for a win over anyone than a loss to Richlands. But it looks like they're solidly in Div. 1, which SHOULD be losing teams next year, so they wouldn't need to worry about ratings. EXCEPT... A changed the format, so they're fighting D AND half of C for a high seed and an extra home game or 2. Anyway, that's my thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VHSLhelper 571 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 Back on topic... I wonder how much sheduling has been done in Reg. D since a final decision hasn't been made yet about Appy, Coeburn & St. Paul. I'm thinking that's why there's so little talk this year... (not just here, but the other boards, too)... not much has been done yet.

TrojanAlumni 10 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Battle is dropping Honaker and Castlewood and picking up Sullivan Central and Volunteer (may be dropping one or two others and picking up Elizabethton and someone else). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigrhsfan 884 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Battle is dropping Honaker and Castlewood and picking up Sullivan Central and Volunteer (may be dropping one or two others and picking up Elizabethton and someone else). Why are they picking up so many Tenn. teams next year. I can understand with where your located that you would want to play a game or 2 against a Tenn team, but 3 or 4 ? Not saying it's wrong or anything, each school has to do what it thinks is best for them. I'm just trying to figure out why, when there are several A teams in our area ?

TrojanAlumni 10 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 I think we are just going to play Central and Volunteer. Not really sure on the others. Coach Witten of course has connections with all those area schools and probably just wants to play them. He gets really excited and dreams big, but most importantly, he can make it happen. I guess he really wants to step up the competition too. Should be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtiger 1,742 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 I dont know for sure but I assume Haysi will be be dropping Giles(long trip), Sullivan North(long trip), and maybe Castlewood(seems like we only play them 2 years at a time) and Thomas Walker(long trip). I wouldnt mind seeing Tom Walker and Castlewood stay on the schedule but I would like to see Giles and North off it. I would like to see Giles and North replaced with JJ Kelly and Powell Valley and if TW and Castlewood end up off the schedule see them replaced with Coeburn and St Paul. Maybe a KY or WV school or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted Account 5,203 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Graham - Bluefield, Princeton, Tazewell, Richlands, Marion, Bland Co., Narrows, Fort Chiswell, Galax, Grayson Co. Wonder if Graham could pull off the 5-5 (5-0) next year? From the looks of that schedule, definitely looks possible... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Wonder if Graham could pull off the 5-5 (5-0) next year?From the looks of that schedule, definitely looks possible... I'm not sure they could win three games this season vs. that schedule...Galax, Fort Chiswell, and Grayson Co. would definitely give them all they want... You think going 2-8 or 3-7 vs. that schedule next season might be enough to grant Graham fans' wish???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
