    Yes, but that's going to change if Bluefield High adds a 6th home game at Mitchell against Graham. They are then going to pay More per season. Bluefield, WV, isn't going to let that 6th game go for free. Additionally, will TCSB agree to pay Bluefield High rent, and if they do, what are the odds...

    Here's my question. Does Bluefield come out ahead then? If Bluefield agree to take all of the home games if Bluefield pays rent, Bluefield, WV, still wants their money, and that means Bluefield is now paying for 1 extra game at Mitchell on years when they don't regularly do that. It's all about...

    True, but you alsonhave two teams paying for a full seasons rent right now. Thats going to change shortly. Makes sense if you can make a ton of money fron one game at a huge stadium to keep playing there. There's still the payment though. When Graham is the home team against Bluefield, does...

    With the first game ever played at Graham HS at the new stadium, that place will be bonkers packed. Historic type event and for all of Grahams historical football prowess, the first game ever played in Blueield, VA, or at least the first game ever in Bluefield, VA, since before Mitchell Stadium...

    Can the people of Bluefield, VA or TCSB refuse to let the Shoots Foundation pay? Them paying is actually hurting Graham in the long run because TCSB simply puts the stadium off the radar when they pay, and all it will do is delay the finishing of their stadium. It's like kicking the can down...

    Gridiron, do you think it will hold? I recall reading over the years on swvasports that Graham occasionally finds itself in this situation only for Tazewell County and Mitchell Stadium to reach a deal a month or so before the season starts. Wonder if Tazewell County will stick to its guns...

    Some of this stuff might rest on Graham fans, but not sure. Going by what I have read on the other board. For decades, Most Graham fans were in favor of playing at Mitchell, keeping tradition alive. Over the years as rent went up, there were some concerns. Back around 2016 or 17, there were...

    Bluefield, WV from what I've been told is a dying town. The local population out of the coal fields have moved or moving on the VA side of the border to Bluefield, Va or to Princeton, WV. Bluefield, WV has lost much of its old money tax base. Many of those people are either dead, living in...

    Gotcha. I thought you were saying the last contract with Mitchell Stadium was in 1960, the year. I was thinking...what on earth are you talking about.

    Money in 1960 ain't money in 2025, and even words in 1960 are identical to 2024 or 2025, if one signature or date is renewed, then it's legally a different contract.

    Tazewell County knows there are complaints coming their way from Bluefield, VA, to finish the stadium, but getting complaints from the County Seat could be a game changer. I wouldn't budge if I were Graham. I would demand to set on the home side in Tazewell with no disrespect to Tazewell Fans...

    In the 70s and 80s, Marion was a basketball powerhouse and won some Region IV titles and Region runner ups. Of course, Huskly Hall and tha Dawgs were always standing in the way in Region III, but Marion had some solid teams out there. My mom worked at Marion doing nursing travel (3 month...

    LCA gets another recruit

    Going to play at a school a whole lot higher level than Liberty in College. No offense to Liberty either, but he will get many P5 offers.
