BlackWolf5 26 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 I think Richlands LB's are going to be ok with Eliswick & Johnson replacing two of best that ever played that position at richlands. Defense is going to surprise a lot of people this year! Can't wait til season starts Go Big Blue!!! Bigrhsfan and Ryan4VT 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan4VT 4,546 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 It may take a few games to gel, but I'm of the belief that this defense could surprise a lot of people. They are very athletic all over the board. By the time the playoff roll around, they should be in good form. Bigrhsfan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWVAFB 218 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 The question is; Will Richlands make another run? My answer is yes! Richlands football stands tall in SWVA as the best football program West of Roanoke. There is a couple of other schools that can play with Richlands year in and year out, but in my opinion, Richlands is THE program with the complete package. Good community support, great Coaches, good Adm.support, & great tradition.I expect Richlands to field another quality team this year!

Ryan4VT 4,546 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 Giles is west of Roanoke. Salem is west of Roanoke. Salem is also 4A and not a part of what he was saying. Giles has had some down years in the last decade mixed in with great successes. Richlands has been the most consistent program in far SWVA since 2004.

goose111874 967 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 Yes they will make another run but I believe appo. will be the best team by far looks like they didn't lose much from last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan4VT 4,546 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 Their season will be largely dependent on if their new QB can be consistent. They have weapons galore, they just need the QB to make smart reads and plays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountain Football 1,532 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 Couple of Richlands guys I work with showed me some pictures from their Bench a Thon. A few of those kids were pretty dang big. If they have any drive at all they will be hard to handle on the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigrhsfan 884 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 Yes they will make another run but I believe appo. will be the best team by far looks like they didn't lose much from last year. I believe that Appo. is the team to beat again this year also, but I don't know that I would say by far. I think there will be a couple of teams that has the potential to challenge them.......including Richlands, but of course I am a little..........just a little.. biased.

Your right Richland's is the only team that could beat them I think. Union is a year away Giles lost too much gate city isn't there yet so who is left. I don't think people are giving Graham enough credit though they're gonna surprise some people I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain Football 1,532 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Graham has the weapons to to go far. Cooke, Ballard, Allen, Meade should be hard to deal with. Oh yeah the Cousin kid too. This group of Graham Gmen should be fun to watch. I for one can't wait to watch them take the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think people are giving Graham enough credit though they're gonna surprise some people I think. Graham is one of the teams I was thinking of, maybe not going all the way, but could make a fairly deep run. They have the weapons and speed, it mostly depends on how their D comes along this year. They seem to finally have the coaching, and the kids and community have bought in so it's going to be interesting to see how much they progress this year. If their D improves from last year ( which they should with another year in their system ) they will be a VERY dangerous team and fun to watch. Can anybody tell me a little about what Tazewell might have this year ? I haven't heard much about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adsi97 35 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 They will be same as each year. Make their run, then lose 12th or 13th game of the year. No state championship again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigrhsfan 884 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 Yea, you may be right seeing we only have "2" state championships, but at least we have a shot at one almost every year, and I'll take that any day then not being in contention at all !
