Richlands got a baseball field, Tazewell got rubberized track (they didn’t host a meet last year and don’t think they are this year), new dugout at Tazewell , both got upgrades to softball fields I believe but no lights or bleachers for Graham. Sorry…got off topic. 

That also might be because grahams baseball field just got lights a year ago I believe

That’s true but if we were to make a list of all things the past say 5 years, I guarantee Graham would be at the bottom. It is what it is at this point, leaders in school system & county are pretty much useless. Maybe they’ll prove me wrong and the lights & bleachers will go up this summer. If not, I say play every home game except Bluefield at Graham even if it’s on Saturday. It’s not like playing on Friday night but it beats having to play home games at Tazewell or Richlands.

I would encourage the fine folks of Bluefield, Va to demand better for their kids from those in leadership roles.  The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

Does anybody know who has applied for the job? 

I would presume Deacon Young since there was a whole social media campaign for him to get it. I have no issue with him. He deserves the opportunity. He’s paid his dues so to speak.

School Board meets on the 13th.  They will probably make an announcement then.

Problem is he already coaches two sports and from what I am told they won't let someone do a third.  I don't know if he would be willing to give up one or not.  I'm sure no way he gives up wrestling.

Tazewell really doesn’t adjust to ear turning so you’re saying J’Me Harris is going to be back st the helm?

I want the second choice. Don't need to go back to well that went dry once. Its time move on from that and get coach in here that going to compete with teams in the county and outside the county.

Sources tell me that J'me is back in the area due to parents health issues.  So with that said family issues come first as they should so how much does that leave for focusing on a sport?  I have nothing against him but I do hope for new blood that will reinvigorate and be part of the community (without getting to close 😉)

Tazewell will go to the recycling bin.

You all should listen to me more... 🤷‍♂️

It’s comical remembering back to broadcasts  of the Tazewell games last season and the commentary-how much Padgett was going to benefit the Bulldogs and what a quality coach, yada, yada, yada…once the kids got used to his offense, things would turn around. I’m kind of anxious to hear the first couple broadcasts next season. 
 

If only they had hired Deacon Young that go around 🤦🏻. He’s a top notch guy, knows football pretty well,  the kids like him, it’s just crazy he wasn’t given the nod. 
 

I’m not much on recycling because a lot of times that stuff just ends up in the landfill anyway. Good intentions but not always beneficial. 
 

Good luck to kids and coaching staff. I hope it all works out especially for the players.
