I heard that it was due to divorce and liquidation of assets. May tied together on that. Wish it and the the Kone were still open. Nobody beat those hotdogs.

Mountain Football 1,532 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 I used to work in Richlands several years ago. The Kone was always my favorite place to eat in town. Went there a few weeks before they closed and it wasn't the same to say the least. I don't know if I just caught them on a bad day or if it had went downhill.

Future colleague, you will learn two things. One, by presenting the most negative fact yourself (26-3 Richlands since 1991), you weaken the impact it would have if opposing counsel had introduced it first. Two, virtually anything objective can be turned and twisted to argue that which you want to argue. 😉 rvtne216 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are referring to that atrocity in Wytheville 🤢 Red Flower is best Chinese anywhere and Peking in Wytheville is still below Tray Ting in town.

Once you've had Peking, you'll never want Red Flower again. There aren't too many reasons to go to Grundy but that's one.

On the left in the big shopping center after you leave Vansant but not quite in Grundy proper. A few law firms had made that plaza a home through the years.

He had offers from Notre Dame and Tennesse when he graduated from Tazewell. He went to Tennessee, but his scholly was pulled when he was found out to be married. He then went on to play for Casto Ramsey at E & H and did well there until he was diagnosed with Bright's disease (kidneys). Tragically he passed away when he was 29 years old. Wonderful wondeful person. Matter of fact his great-grandson is now a student at Tazewell, Brent Anderson. You’re welcome! Thanks for the story about Cokie! I had not known any of that before hand.

bgibb 207 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 17 hours ago, UVAObserver said: Tazewell actually has a better winning percentage in its state championship game appearances than either Graham (3-1) or Richlands (2-4). Richlands has also needed a 26-3 run since 1991 just to pull ahead 41-51-2 in the all-time series. Put another way, Tazewell has spotted the Big Wind nearly 30 years in the rivalry, and Richlands’s winning percentage is still just .553.

The 1962 championship was earned, not awarded. Every game that year was a championship game.
