That’s what a collective fanbase did after the excitement of a thrilling overtime game had faded from Gene Malcolm Stadium.
Staring down the uprights, Levi “Fle” Forrest had missed his three previous attempts, including an attempt at a game winner just moments earlier.
This one was true, however, and it lifted Richlands to a 17-14 victory over Southwest District foe Virginia on senior night.
Richlands drove the field on their opening drive, only for Race Moir to be hit and fumble the ball in the backfield.… 
Friday night at Gene Malcolm Stadium will be a night of emotion and reflection for the Virginia High seniors and their families as the Bearcats welcome the Richlands Blue Tornado on senior night.

The Lebanon Pioneers (1-7) travel to Ernie Hicks Stadium in Richlands to face the Blue Tornado (4-4). Kickoff tonight is scheduled for 7 p.m.. No strangers to one another, the two faced for the first time in 1962 with Richlands leading the series 23-7. Last year’s meeting ended in a 52-7 win for the Blue Tornado.

Graham and Richlands have played football since 1926.
Thursday night’s 45-0 win over the Blues was the largest win ever in the series for the G-Men.
The previous margin? Graham 30, Richlands 0 way back on Oct. 7, 1932.
