bam777 10 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 No money is given by the VHSL for rings, the money for the rings must be raised by the community. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's funny right there, I don't care who you are!!!!  Those bastards aren't going to pay for anything they don't have to pay for...and its near impossible getting them to pay for stuff they do owe on. Richlands will be lucky to get their full reimbursement from the VHSL for expenses incurred during the playoffs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigD4VT 11 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 The school has to raise money for the rings. The VHSL keeps every penny they make to ensure they have the necessary funding to screw things up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBlueAlum 12 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 I have heard from several people that the cheerleaders will be getting state championship rings. Is this true? I didn't know if the cheerleaders normally get the rings with the football team, or if this is some kinda new thing. I personally don't like the idea, it seems to take away from he meaning of the ring if everyone has one. Im not saying the cheerleaders dont deserve one, because they were at every game. However, so was the band and a WHOLE LOTA fans, so what is the difference? If the cheerleaders got a ring for just going to every game, then alot of perople would be entitled to a ring. I'm not trying to start anything, just wondering what everyone else thought about it, and trying to find out if it is true or just another rumor.

dcecilgolf 11 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Cheerleaders should not get rings, nor should the band. They have their own competitions to win rings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rahvamil 10 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 I can tell you in 89 our (Graham) cheerleaders got rings. They were miniature rings, and I'm sure they meant nothing to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBlueAlum 12 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 [ QUOTE ] Cheerleaders should not get rings, nor should the band. They have their own competitions to win rings. Â [/ QUOTE ] Â I agree completely, i didnt mean to imply that the band should get rings. i was just making the point that if the cheerleaders got rings it would be like the band getting rings, because they are only there to support the team, just like the fans. Also, it dont see it as a big problem if the cheerleaders were to pay for them themselves, but the way i understood it, the rings that the cheerleaders will get will be payed for out of the money raised to buy the players rings. and from what I've heard the team is having a hard enough time getting the money to get their own rings. i may be wrong, because this is all just what ive heard around town.

mudmaker 10 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 my understanding is that if the players were depending on the school, school board, or vhsl then they are all SOL. fortunately our community is very generous and takes care of its kids so the money is being raised thriugh private contributions. that being said i cant imagine why anyone not contributing fiancially should care who gets rings. this is a great accomplishment for our team but also our community, who has worked very hard in seeing that our boys have what they need to be competitive. why tarnish this great achivement with a who gets what sqwabble? imo the varsity should get their ring the jv should get their commemorative ring and the cheerleaders should get a ladies commemorative ring also.for that matter there could be a 12th man ring ,available for anyone who wanted to buy one,(good fundraiser).so relax everybody and enjoy the occasion, besides its christmas!!!

blacksburgsoccer 12 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 We have some experience ordering state championship rings. It is usually up to the booster club or school to raise the money. Our booster club buys the players/staff plaques and then it is up to the players to buy their own rings. I treasure my rings (I have rings from 6 of our championships, 1 playing 5 coaching). Congrats to Richlands on their state title. Way to bring the title to SWVA!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SALTSHAKER 10 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 Get the Lions Club to help with the rings.with 7 home games this year they sold enough of them Greezy Hot dogs to buy a ring or two. Or the fans got rid of those dogs to make a ring or two in the commode at Ernie Hicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
