With just a week remaining before the first full week of practice, the Blue Ridge football team is working hard to prepare for its first season in Class AAAA.
When the Blue Ridge boys basketball team takes the court this winter, they’ll be doing so under new head coach Richie Stevens, who was recently hired to replace longtime coach Ray Riley.
Riley stepped away from the program following the Tigers’ 2016 season, allowing his former player, Stevens, to make the jump to high school.
With new classifications and regions to work around, five local high school football teams finalized their regular season schedules over the summer.
