While the loss stung, the Beavers proved they were ahead of schedule, reaching the title game with a roster loaded with young talent. That postseason run gave an already gifted group valuable experience on the biggest stage, and the foundation is firmly in place for another championship run this season. With almost all of those impact players returning, it's no surprise Bluefield enters 2026 as one of the favorites to capture the Class AA state title.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>2026 SCHEDULE</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>8/28: vs Graham (VA)<br>9/4: vs Princeton<br>9/11: vs James Monroe<br>9/18: at Ridgeview (VA)<br>9/25: vs Independence<br>10/2: vs George Wythe<br>10/9: vs Nicholas County<br>10/16: at Fairmont Senior<br>10/23: at Greenbrier East<br>10/30: vs River View</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2025 Record:&nbsp;</strong>11-3 (State Runners-Up)<br><strong>2026 Prediction</strong>: 9-1</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>2026 OUTLOOK</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The outlook couldn't be much brighter for Bluefield heading into 2026. The Beavers graduated only a couple of impact seniors from an already young roster, returning a loaded 2028 class that's complemented by several proven seniors and a few talented offseason transfers. That combination gives Bluefield one of the deepest and most complete rosters in Class AA, with experience and talent at every position. The Beavers open the season as our preseason #1 team in Class AA and have all the pieces needed to make another championship run. After coming up just short a year ago, don't be surprised if Bluefield uses that experience as motivation in its pursuit of bringing another state title back to Bluefield.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>COLLEGE PROSPECTS TO KNOW</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1677416"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a4a77091ca8e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>RETURNING STANDOUT</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2027 LB Chadney Stanback is primed for a standout senior season after emerging as one of the leaders of Bluefield's defense during the Beavers' run to the state championship game. Stanback finished his junior campaign with 80 tackles, 12 tackles for loss, and three sacks, showcasing the physical, downhill style of play mixed with good athleticism. He attacks the line of scrimmage with confidence, plays with a relentless motor, and consistently finds his way around the football. His continued development has already translated into multiple college offers, with more recruiting attention to come. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src=u0022https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/23260609/6939f1b7cd68ed58eef21b68u0022 width=u0022640u0022 height=u0022360u0022 frameborder=u00220u0022 allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a6fb90beb748"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1154894"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a4a770921024"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>RETURNING STANDOUT</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2027 RB Willis Wilson gives Bluefield another explosive weapon in an already loaded offense. Wilson has good change of direction, quick feet, and lateral agility to make defenders miss in space. He sees running lanes develop quickly and has the burst to capitalize once he gets through the line of scrimmage. Those traits make him a difficult matchup for defenses and another player capable of producing explosive plays whenever his number is called. With the Beavers returning one of the state's top rosters, expect a now healthy Wilson to play an important role in an offense that should again rank among the best in Class AA.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src=u0022https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/19843144/69310b8bcd06d6b43c3735bbu0022 width=u0022640u0022 height=u0022360u0022 frameborder=u00220u0022 allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a6fb90beb7ad"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1616354"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a4a770920ebe"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>RETURNING STANDOUT</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2027 WR/DB Jamarius Smith gives Bluefield another dynamic two-way athlete to utilize this season.

He should pair well with fellow transfer Zion Pitts and other returners up front, giving the Beavers another disruptive lineman capable of controlling the line of scrimmage.

Simpson followed a quality freshman campaign that flashed his potential with one of the best sophomore seasons in the state, throwing for 3,400 yards and 41 touchdowns and guiding the Beavers to the Class AA state championship game. His development from year one to year two was evident, as he looked more comfortable and decisive while operating the offense. That production has already earned him his first FBS offer from Toledo, and more D1 programs to follow. With two seasons remaining, Simpson will be one of the top candidates for the JR House Award and one of the biggest reasons Bluefield enters the year with championship expectations.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src=u0022https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/22754970/68daa878a8416f3ef125dc63u0022 width=u0022640u0022 height=u0022360u0022 frameborder=u00220u0022 allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a6fb90beb960"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1311053"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a4a7709210e7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>RETURNING STANDOUT</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bluefield boasts one of the most dangerous receivers in West Virginia with 2028 WR Paxtyn Calhoun.

Calhoun is a matchup nightmare because of his size, athleticism, and ability to win in a variety of ways, forcing defenses to devote extra attention in his direction. He routinely finds ways to make wow plays and changes games any time he touches the ball.

His vision and footwork separate him from most backs in the state, allowing him to make defenders miss before accelerating into the open field. Every touch carries big-play potential, and his production backed up what the film showed.

Jones is an instinctive player, brings great range to the secondary, and will come downhill to deliver a big hit.
