SW_VA_boy 492 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 That would work. I wad thinking other possible candidates would be Roanoke Catholic on that 9/6 or Montcalm on 9/27 given theyre both off that night. Hopefully they can find someone to come to Narrows and not be short a game worth of gate money since Bland would have been a home game.

FootballFan67 62 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 Bland County does have a middle school team. A very sad day, not having a high school team affects so much more than just football; football is the sport that brings communities together most. It'sheartbreaking for the coaches and boys that wanted to play. Two players had already transferred prior to the official decision. For schools like Bland County, 7 on 7 would be a blessing but even with just 11 players , that's still not adequate even for 7 on 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SW_VA_boy 492 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 Come on down and join us. The boys try to represent Wolf Creek well. I feel the fan base and the community. It's hard to imagine what that situation would do to the community in Narrows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

footballfanatic 59 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 I talked to the parents of a football player who said they really didn't like playing for their coach. They weren't happy with the play calling and that he only ran like 5 different plays per game and he was unwilling to change after 15+ seasons.

Single A west 113 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 Most coaches are pretty good but we had one that in his one and only one year here has left us still in a tedious situation five years later. That would be Tom Hale and he ran the same plays to a point of not only not effective but would leave a running backin no win situation of taking on 3 defenders each play. So that excuse not completely lame. The great coaches are the ones who actually help build your program in the 3rd grade and helps and shows up but don’t micro manage.
