Gridiron60 2,555 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 Heard new coach will be hired at March school board meeting, not sure if that’s true or not. Also heard Mance might be taking a Richlands person along for the ride to Loris, once again just a rumor. The next month should answer a lot of the questions that our pondering minds want to know. 😂😂😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigrhsfan 884 Report Share Posted February 26, 2020 Well, we had a good run ! I will always be grateful for all the fun we as Blue Tornado fans have had over the last 20 years. A lot of programs have never come close to the kind of success Richlands has had under Coach Mance ! I have a feeling that some of the fans I heard complaining about his coaching ( it was a small minority ) will find out that you better be careful what you wish for, sometimes wishes come true. Thank you Coach Mance for all you have done for our little town............you will be missed, but I wish you and Ann all the best in your new journey ! Also a big thanks to all the other coaches on his staff over the years for all their hard work ! tbgfan, Tru Blue 72, FoxTrot and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're probably going to hear a lot of speculation going around, but I can't see a player going to Loris due to all that would involve, I mean you're talking about uprooting an entire family, so no I don't think it would be a player and Webb is staying put. Changes will come throughout life, and those who learn to look to the future and not live in the past, will be the victor's. Richlands has had a good run, but that doesn't mean we have to close the lid on the coffin just yet, could be an ever better run coming.

McClung was never considered by Oak Hill. His senior year, they were already over-committed on guards. They had seven guards signed to D1 programs including current Oregon Duck starting PG and Florida Gators starting SG. Oak Hill also had three sophomore guards on that team that everyone is currently fighting over. No offense to McClung intended. Steve just didn't have space for another guard on that team! cityofRaven and Deleted Account 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger 2000 73 Report Share Posted February 26, 2020 I’ve heard plenty of rumors as well. An assistant, that is a friend of Webb’s family has said that 100 percent “ that sage has immediately family in loris and would love to play for coach Mance but didn’t think his family would move. Also I’m pretty sure Webb’s dad and mom work in the area and are involved in the Richlands community. Can’t see them moving ... but I have heard his ties with the bluefield area would be more likely as a landing spot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of relocating to the beach area, how would that help him get to the next level, just asking. IMO Webb would be the go to guy for Richlands, and let's face it, probably his best chance to get next level recognition.

Tiger 2000 73 Report Share Posted February 26, 2020 Webb will be fine wherever he goes or stays. From all accounts he is a good kid with hard work ethic. I’m sure I speak for the Richlands faithful In hoping he stays. I’m pretty sure though he /his parents have some concerns about the time frame of a new head coach. The sooner the better IMO , if they get the right person. I’m still hearing wells as a possible front runner but I’m wondering if there is a few more names that may get in the mix ?

I’m not Blues’ fan obviously but I respect the program that was built and the coaching staff over the years. I would hope Webb stays put too. He’s going to get the offers regardless. I can’t see uprooting the whole family to play for Mance in Loris. Sports makes parents do peculiar things, though. Ronnie Davis, current defensive coordinator applied according to someone he told personally. Take that for what it’s worth. I can see him giving up softball after this year with his star pitcher that won them state graduating this spring and focusing completely on coaching football . Football is a different bear to head coach than girls’ softball though. For the players and parents, I hope they make a decision sooner rather than later. Then the rumor mill can quit churning, lol.

Gridiron60 2,555 Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 Heard there's 99% chance from someone at RHS that it's going to be Wells. Now take it for what it's worth which probably isn't much, lol. The question is if it's Thad Wells, does he keep any of the current assistants if so, who? Or does he bring in his own people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said this a while back talking about mance retiring not moving and some Richlands fan basically told me no way it would happen....can't remember who it was And since one of ours is no longer there. In not as big a blues fan as I was. And if wells does get it I will be less of one lol Gridiron60 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
