Tonight, the Richlands Blue Tornado (1-2) look to end their two game losing skid as they travel to Vinton to take on the undefeated William Byrd Terriers (4-0) at Robert A. Patterson Stadium.
The Blues are coming off a 49-17 loss at the hands of the Blacksburg Bruins last week. Due to Hurricane Florence threatening, the game was moved up to Thursday and even had a change of venue. The newly installed turf at Evans King Field in Christiansburg held host to the Tornado and the Bruins.… 
As good as advertised.
That’s about all you can say for the Blacksburg Bruins.
The Bruins showcased exactly why they have earned the distinction of a contender for the Class 4 title. A poised gunslinger quarterback, that the PA announced actually compared to Brett Favre, matched with a plethora of receivers led by UVa-commit Tiquest Terry were too much for the Blue Tornado.
In a game with no atmosphere (being played at Christiansburg instead of Blacksburg), the Blues came out flat.… 
A score can be deceiving.
The scoreboard at Ernie Hicks Stadium read 42-28 when the dust settled. However, the game was far from a blowout.
The Tornado drove down the field looking to tie the game. However, Bryce Guerrant snagged an errant pass from Richlands quarterback Race Moir and returned it 18 yards for the game sealing touchdown.
While this game broke the tradition of the game being decided by six points or less, there was no shortage of excitement.…

No close-proximity tension. No county connection. The two teams aren’t even in the same conference. However, Richlands and Union has become one of, if not the biggest rivalry in southwest Virginia. .
Since Union High School opened, the teams have met eight times. Seven times in the regular season with a lone playoff encounter in 2017. In those eight meetings, the largest margin of victory is a nine-point Union victory in last season’s regular season matchup.…

Another chapter in the Bears-Blue Tornado series unfolds this Friday in what has become Southwest Virginia’s most exciting rivalry. The 2A powerhouses are always near the top of their respective districts and are always in the hunt for the Region D crown.…

A football game was played Friday night at Legion Field in Gate City, Va.
At times, it seemed as if only one team was out there.
The Richlands Blue Tornado used a resurgent offensive performance and a strong defensive performance to cruise past the Gate City Blue Devils 42-7.
In front of a subpar crowd — by Legion Field standards, Tornado quarterback Race Moir unleashed three touchdown strikes, while running back Trey Brown added two scores on the ground to produce a 35-0 halftime lead.…
