Bluefield_Rules 46 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 http://bdtonline.com/localsports/x1535828447/Max-Effort Crane said, “They’ve got a good team. We’ve just got to get ready for them. Obviously, Bluefield’s out of our league. That’s why they don’t play many West Virginia teams, because they’re out of a lot of people’s league. “I’d hate to think they’re 50 points better than us. They’re definitely better than us — but we helped them with a couple of scores. “That’s why teams don’t play them. That’s why we’re probably not going to play them anymore.†Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillbilly 14 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Well I guess Bluefield could have gone up to the Middle School and played some 7th and 8th graders against them. They take a knee at the end of the first half to keep from scoring and play 9th graders the entire 2nd half. What else could have been done to hold down the score. This guy needs to coach his kids up to play better cause no matter if he likes it or not Bluefield does plays in his league.....Class AA WV football. No wonder his kids quit since he himself is a quitter. Let's not work to get better ourselves let's just QUIT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegendatLegion 109 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 That's a kind of stunning revelation from a coach. I'll bet his kids love to know they have no chance according to him. (Not that you or anyone else thought they did) You do have to give him kudos for his honesty, he is just saying what the other coaches don't have the guts to say.

redtiger 1,740 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Oak Hill is in the same group as Bluefield(AA), right? The guy has nothing to complain about, GET BETTER. If Bluefield was a big AAA and Oak Hill was a small A then it would be different. Poor leadership by a coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, and I'll buy a lottery ticket tonight. Bluefield is in a rough spot and it's only going to get worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillbilly 14 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 I hear Richlands has an opening on their schedule......A.D.'s should already be on the phone!!! Probably not gonna happen, the JV and middle school both went down there this week and came home with victories, so I think that may have sealed that deal. Such a shame really.

kevin 13 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Scheduling is becoming a major issue for Bluefield and James Monroe. We lose Scott for next year and the ohio team we are playing is a one year deal and from what I understand they are paying our expenses to come up there which is just crazy considering there are so many other teams we could be playing in the area!

BeaverHokie 35 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 Well, I guess that explains why we're gonna keep Charlotte Country Day on the schedule for next year. As it used to be, it's really difficult to get 10 games, I know we had 9 games quite a few years. Oak Hill must be really awful, but not every AA team in WV is that bad. I wish Bluefield could get games with teams in the Charleston area, go back and play Poca, play Winfield. One thing that is mind-boggling to me, maybe it means my illusion of WV high school football being really good, is how we've had our butts handed to us by Charlotte Country Day two years in a row. That is a SMALL school, they only graduate about 100-110 students a year. The student population looks big because it's a K-12 school, so it's like 1500-1600 or something. I'm down here in metro Atlanta, and I see teams here place 5 (or more) seniors on college rosters every single year. Yet, in the Bluefield area, it's a good year if 2 or maybe 3 kids make it to a small college roster. Is the football that much better down here? Just to keep track, does anybody know which AA teams in West Virginia are hiding from Bluefield? There are quite a few AA teams that aren't playing us, and I wonder which ones are trying to hide.

Ryan4VT 4,552 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 I hear Richlands has an opening on their schedule......A.D.'s should already be on the phone!!! As much as I wish it would happen, Richlands dosnt have an opening on their schedule. Next year it will be Tazewell, CC, Abingdon, Marion, Graham, Gate City, Honaker, Patrick Co., Pulaski Co., and Powell Valley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blu_Man 10 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 CCD is on the schedule next year bc it is the second game of a home and home. The above mentioned teams hiding from Bluefield, I wouldnt want on the schedule. The schedule is what makes Bluefield who they are each year. They know what it feels like to lose, be down, fight back, get hit in the mouth, have their weaknesses exposed. Come playoff time, they are battle tested and know how to respond.

bhokie 10 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Maybe Bluefield and Richlands could get together. With Grundy and Graham dropping to single A, Richlands will need to pick up a team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigrhsfan 884 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Maybe Bluefield and Richlands could get together. With Grundy and Graham dropping to single A, Richlands will need to pick up a team. They've already picked up Pulaski co and I think Patrick Co and I say I think because I heard they were still talking with Patrick Co, but it may have been finalized by now.

Pirate1 10 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 My understanding last year was that Scott wasn't playing Bluefield this year because of their new conference alignment, and would be dropping JM after they finished out their contract this year and would be picking up Bluefield again next season......that could've changed though.

Rhschamps04 15 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Ive heard from a member of the Richlands team it is a done deal Bluefield goes back on the schedule as of next season. Richlands is losing Honaker, Leb, Powell Valley, Grundy, Graham, and if im not mistaken there is one more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichlandsAlum 678 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 I find it hard to believe they will be dropping Graham from the schedule. If this information is correct, I've got to believe that it isn't Richlands dropping Graham. The variables in that equation would seem to be reversed. Also wondering when the cardinal law was repealed which said something to the effect that schools like Graham and Grundy will "always" play Richlands.

GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 For the umpteenth time...teams on Graham's schedule for next year... Bluefield, Princeton, Tazewell, Richlands, Marion, Narrows, Bland Co., Fort Chiswell, Galax, and Grayson Co. Unless one, or more, of these teams has contacted Graham High School and asked out of the series, these are the teams Graham will play for the next two years (except for maybe Princeton).
