    Rapp Raiders 2026 Football

    Heck of a football team that arrived in Salem. Rapp was well coached and those boys could play. I think Northside was a quick scheduling kind of thing last year where both teams needed a game and it wasn't meant to be a 2 game series.

    What’s the best team Pulaski has ever fielded.

    Broke the rules? Yes. Cheated if that means intentional? You are wrong. As for Richlands not "having the courage and belief in themselves to play Salem straight up," as I told you in the previous post. Thats nonsense. And no, every other point is not "moot." The other points matter. Intent matters.

    My final thought on this. I also dont argue about the prowess of Salem/Andrew Lewis football. Way better program than Richlands historically and most Va schools. I knew nothing about Salem as a young kid raised deep in the mountains other than it's near Roanoke, they were big, and they were damn...

    As for the field. We couldnt get it dry all week. The rain and wet snow came on and off all week and it remained cold. Literally could not do anything with the water. It looked the best it looked all week at about 2am in the early am of the game and then at 4am, down came the snow again and by...

    What’s the best team Pulaski has ever fielded.

    I would tell you this honestly. I've said this for years. We're the cleats illegal. YES. Would those cleats give an advantage? YES. How much of an advantage? I think very very little on that day because the mud and water was so bad it wouldnt have mattered (in my opinion). I couldnt cut and the...

    The officiating crew was from the New River District. One of the officials received a complaint by someone that our cleats were too long. He, supposebly the white-hat inspected our cleats and he apparently inspected one of the Salems Players cleats at half time warm ups. He told the VHSL...

    No question or argument here about your chances of winning on a dry field going up with the speed you all had. I would be a fool to argue that. The cleats were ordered for the playoffs literally because of the anticipated mud and bad field that was common in Swva back the due to the rain and...

    1. BS. As stated earlier, Richlands got permission with the VHSL when ordered and it happened 2 weeks Before the Salem game. Salems cleats were the same length as ours. 2. BS. Common Opponents. Means nothing. Transitive property. Richlands beat Salem. That happened. 3. More BS. as you use the...

    Never want to duke it out with the Salem Spartans over the long haul. Helluva program and as good as it gets in Va over the long term dating back to Andrew Lewis. All I'm saying is, I didnt do a damn thing wrong NOR did my teammates nor did our coach (intentionally). Our coach and coaches...

    I know what Im talking about because I also played in that game. I went to Richlands and had kids that went to Graham. I know for a fact that the cleats Salem had was the same damn length as ours. Our coach and our team watched film for 3 days on Salem and we knew that our front 5 from tackle to...
