I highly doubt any HC would ask for the town for a parade. As long as they community wants it then go for it, let the players, cheerleaders, band and everyone else involved enjoy it. Like someone stated earlier, enjoy now and let the past be the past. This ^^^^ also, I don’t think everyone from Richlands irony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players on this year’s team were very small the last time the team had any significant success. Witnessing a football related celebration might motivate a few more kids into participating next year. I don’t disapprove. SpillBoss 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever the kids want but I guess I’m old school when it comes to a parade for winning a game vs a bad team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu_bean 1,058 Report Share Posted October 9, 2022 Nothing wrong with community showing support. Look how many fans were at that game. Football team has doubled in size from three years ago. Not the only factor but community support has a lot to do with it. Show me one kid that wouldn't love to be recognized like that as it may be their only chance in life or even their first recognition that leads them to some important life decisions. We love our Bulldogs, always have always will. I challenge any other town/city/county to see if they support their team as much as we do. Sadly couldn't make it to Colonial Heights but was told we had more people there than they did. That's the support any team should be thrilled to have.

I’m as old school as several on here, but agree with this post. I believe the distinction comes from who is celebrating and the context. I believe community support is necessary. As long as humility is maintained, and not a sense of hubris, these celebrations are meaningful to each person in every stage of life. Sometimes, the little thank you’s make it easier to show up for the next event. If it leads to encouragement and further more wins, even just one, then what’s the harm? Football teaches toughness, but don’t forget reliance on others. Life is hard enough. Enthusiasm is infectious. In my life, I have learned it is just as important to receive help, and celebrate the good times, as to simply be independent and survive the hard times. At Richlands, we may have taken success for granted over the years. Right now, we could use some excitement. I applaud the Tazewell community for supporting their team. stu_bean, rabidbeaver, Deleted Account and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
