TDFN: Richlands High School Blue Tornado

RICHLANDS BLUE TORNADO

Coach Greg Mance
Richlands High School

Outlook
The Blues have used the crowd-pleasing spread option offense en route to three straight Group AA, Division 3 championship game berths. While he must develop some new receivers,  proven quarterback Joel Elswick is back for his senior season. Coach Greg Mance also returns eight starters and 22 seniors. The fun formula stays the same at Richlands.
