They can hammer Giles but surprisingly get beat by Princeton. I realize the football players haven't had many practices but the GMen were getting out rebounded very handily against Bluefield and Princeton. I still think they'll win district and they'll improve more and more as season progresses.
Definitely, congrats to Richlands making it to the regional title game. Levi Forrest will be a bright spot for them next year. They may luck up and make it to the regionals again next year but I don't see them going any further. Maybe they've got some young talent coming up that I don't know...
Nothing against any current assistants at Richlands but I feel like the piece they've been missing the past two seasons is at Graham now. But wish them best of luck next season. Mance most likely gets his 200 win against GC. Congratulations to him when it happens.
I actually think a lot of the same teams will be back steong. Even without Cam Allen, I think Graham should still be impressive. I think Radford will be back strong and Appo too. Union in Region D will be good. Tazewell could be the surprise team if they get the kinks worked out. I don't know...
I had someone tell me Graham didn't have a chance. My reply, have you seen them play? He had not. To truly appreciate what this group evolved into about mid-season on, you have to see them play in person.
Congratulations to Graham GMen! Excellent coaching, excellent playing...dominated a great team in all aspects of the game today! Enjoy the moment GMen! You "finished"!!!!
Wasn't this the game where Richland's offense turned ball over in the end zone on the first play of the game and Appo recovered & got a TD? Sometimes these past games run together, lol.

Tony Palmer even commented in the interview with Brady Hess of SWVA Sports Podcast that Rex Bradshaw & Dennis Palmer have worked hard on defense together. Brady even commented D. Palmer was a mastermind at defense and bringing him on made a big difference. Richlands loss was certainly...
