Maybe it wont be another 23 years before you can find another article you can be proud of..... even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and then. and if you go far enough back in history you could find the worst team in any league defeating one of the best in that league at some point in history.

89Tornado 10 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Keep in mind, that Richlands team won 1 game that year. So, even with that win, it's not much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falconfan1 125 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Not saying a lot about the Blues then. The year before they were ousted in the playoffs by VA High. Yeah I know what you are going to say before you say it. Officiating cost em that game. I don't disagree with you over that bad call at all. Didn't they have some D 1 players on that team too. Chad King? Until Vaught's arrival, they were never perennial winners, were they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad King? Until Vaught's arrival, they were never perennial winners, were they? There were bad calls both ways in that game. V-High muffed a punt, we returned for a TD, should have been blown dead were we recovered it. The call with Chad, yes I thought he was in, I was on a pass pattern myself, right behind him in the endzone. But, I won't blame anything on the officiating that day, should have never went to overtime, I believe V-High should have won in regulation. I believe Chad was the only one that went D1, he played at VT. Doug Addison went on the play college ball at Lees-McRae and Concord. I think those were the only two that played any college football.

That team was our junior year. Our classmates Chad and Doug were the only college ballers from our class. But that team included Compton and Adam Lallande (who played a season for the prep team at the Air Force Academy). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Alum, I didn't know if we were talking about the team that lost to Abingdon, or the team that lost to V-High. I tend to try to forget about that senior year team.......

Chad King? Until Vaught's arrival, they were never perennial winners, were they? Forgive me for replying non-sequentially here, but.... IMO, before Vaught's arrival the Blues could probably best be described as inconsistent. We were generally competitive on any given night, but that was never apparent in the W/L column. The tenure of Billy Haun (Vaught's immediate predecessor) is a prime example. In four years, he went 8-3, 1-9, 2-8, and 4-6. Before him, Bruce Evans pretty much broke even (a record of 26-23-1 in five seasons). And Todd Heldreth's record from 1979-1981 was a lot like Haun's (6-4, 2-8, 1-9). Mostly, the highlights were big wins in the course of otherwise mediocre seasons (31-28 over Gate City in 1979, 35-14 over Tazewell in '84, and 33-7 over Bluefield in 1985).

I tend to try to forget about that senior year team....... A little confused myself. Although I'm still convinced that ours was the very best 1-9 team in school history.

GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Gman, funny thing is, the only team we beat that year was Graham. I remember that awful game, 6-3. That was early in a six game stretch that saw Graham score a total of 16 points (3,6,7) and be shutout three times. Graham had been decimated by injuries and literally had a JV team playing that season...Coach Carlock decided to "build for the future". It paid off the next season with a State Championship and an undefeated regular season in '90. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo777 10 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 Don't be too hard on Falconboy. I am sure that evntually Abingdon will beat Richlands again. Every Dog has his day. It may just take him a while to find a bone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasDenton 79 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 Like back in the 80s when John Battle beat Richlands one year We also beat Gate City in the late '80s and Tennessee High in '79 (last year they played us, my dad was on that JSB team....you know, since we're talking about daddy's glory days and all, lol).
