futbolking 766 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 I don't know why he left. I won't act like I know, I was just playing around with UVAO and playing up what he was going off of. That said, I do know that he has moved into our county and into the area that feeds into Richlands. I won't say where for th privacy of the kid. So everything is good from the VHSL standpoint. He's a Blue Tornado now. The more tax payers in the county, the merrier.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futbolking 766 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 So.... back to the original question? Are they not playing each other in the benefit game? Did that ever get answered, did I miss it? Mountain Football 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger_Tilt 103 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 His mom moved to Richlands area recently. Dad still lives in Honaker. With that being said the kid basically had his pick of which school to attend and we see which he picked. Maybe that's why it isn't sitting well with Hubbard.

Mountain Football 1,532 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 I believe Mance is the one that shouldn't want to play the benefit game. Correct me if I'm wrong but it seems like every year Richlands loses a starter for the season due to injury in the benefit game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EH31 2,518 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 I'm pretty sure the easternmost portions of the 24649 are in Tazewell County. Interesting. I'll have to consult the Doran Bottom News Press for confirmation. GMan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futbolking 766 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 The Richlands attendance zone extends from Big Creek to Swords Creek..... They have been annexed, again we need the tax revenue. Hey..... those of us who have been around will need to get our annual "pre-season" jabs in before it's too late. It seems to be a regular thing on here each year.

SXSW 557 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 Kids transfer from schools every year , that is a fact of life you must learn to except or be pissed off all the time. With the demographics of Virginia changing a State champion from our end of Virginia is going to become as rare as it is from Northeast Tn. I'm not expecting a champion this year from S.W. Va. ( I hope some schools can prove me wrong and I'll gladly eat that crow) this season and to transfer just for a shot at a title is a little selfish, but you are dealing with 16 & 17 year old kids and parents that give them anything they want. With that being said if they transfer within the rules the adults have to make the decision to act like an adult or behave worse that the kid that left. Be a adult and just realize times are different now. Devil's Advocate and Ryan4VT 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichlandsAlum 678 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 According to quote from Mance in today's BDT, this will be the last occurrence of the benefit game. It's probably served its purpose and been beneficial for both programs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey..... those of us who have been around will need to get our annual "pre-season" jabs in before it's too late. It seems to be a regular thing on here each year. No part of Swords Creek has been annexed by Richlands. Towns aren't allowed to cross county lines. Now, there are sort of isolated little "exclaves" of Russell Co inside of Tazewell county in West Raven and Daw that are only accessible from Tazewell Co. Some parents from Mill Creek, Maple Gap, and Horton Ridge in Russell Co. also send their kids to school in Tazewell Co instead of Russell County and I would assume some parents in Russell Co around SVCC send their kids to school in Richalands instead of Lebanon.

falconfan1 125 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Kid from Honaker should have moved to Abingdon this year. The Falcons have the best shot at winning the state title from our area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
local_insight 146 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Kid from Honaker should have moved to Abingdon this year. The Falcons have the best shot at winning the state title from our area. Abingdon is going to have a great season. I agree 100% with that. However, Richlands will have the best offense in SWVA possibly the entire state if they can get the RB situation lined out. Richlands D is the question at the moment. Will find out tomorrow as they face Belfry, KY, Pulaski, and George Wythe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falconfan1 125 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 The Falcons' defensive should be very strong, especially up front. The Falcons also have a very good running back in Fulton. Oh by the way, they will also get in the straight T some this year. I don't think the Tornado will ever go under center. (personally, I think this has cost the Tornado more than one state title) I don' t disagree at all with Richlands having a great offense and possibly one of the best in the state. However, I will take a balanced offense and a stout defensive unit any day of the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

local_insight 146 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Y'all keep on sleeping on this defense. ;) Agreed! Watched some the other day. I like the new defensive and the adjustments the coaching staff has made to adapt. Very fast secondary, and some surprisingly good line backer play.

Very fast secondary, and some surprisingly good line backer play. And a downright nasty line. Once they gel, they have a chance to be at a level consistent of our best teams.
