The current field actually runs in a different direction now. I'll try to find a photo showing the difference. Quote

I figured that would stump Richlands people who were looking in the background for context. I wouldn't have guessed Richlands either. I assumed the current home grandstand had been constructed when the high school opened in the 1950s. Quote

I guessed Tazewell because of the fence and gate and pictured entering on the field house side. Quote

The house threw me off, but the ticket stand was what I based my guess on. I am delighted the current field has been renamed the Mance EMATS field. I think it is well deserving. Lord willing, I hope to be there for the dedication of the field. Liam McPoyle 1 Quote
