Fairlawn Cat with the answer to a tricky one! It's Wade Field at Wade School, former home of the Bluefield Beavers and the maroon and gray Graham Panthers/Bears/G-Men. Both schools played here until Municipal/Mitchell Stadium opened in 1935. Fun Fact: (Per Bluefield Researcher) "Like most schools Graham did not have a mascot until 1929 when they were called the Panthers. In 1931 the team was called the Bears. 1935 is the first mention of G-Men"

Additional hint: -The school formerly known as the Panthers and Bears changed its mascot again in 1935 to what is actually a slang term. Its colors were Maroon and Gray.

-This field served as home for two different high schools in the 1920s and 30s, but neither were housed in the building shown. -One of the school's mascot was a Panther before changing it to a Bear.

SWVA Boy with another correct response! It's the home of the Fries Wildcats. The former booming cotton mill town is a terminus for the New River Trail and a stop on the Crooked Road music trail. Fun fact 1: Before they were Wildcats, the team was known as the Red Terriers Fun fact 2 (unless you're Fries): The only playoff game on this field was 42-22 loss to Rich Valley in 1978. It was mentioned in Sports Illustrated as the Steers' Mike Keith scored all 42 points on 6TDs and 6XPs.

-The last HS game was played here in 1988, and the school closed the following spring. -Look for this scenic company town, and its turn-of-the century dam, along a Crooked Road or at the end of a New bike trail. Seis Gato's alma mater

No. County Administrators work for and at the pleasure of Boards of Supervisors. Checks and Balances for Boards of Supervisors would include: 1. The Voters during elections 2. The State Inspector General when citizens report suspected illegal activity 3. The State Attorney General, who can initiate legal action for removal from office 4. The Circuit Court, when citizens petition for removal in the case of demonstrable misconduct, incapacity, or willful neglect in the performance of duties

Jeffro with the correct guess! It's Memorial Stadium, home of the Gary Coaldiggers, along with the segregated Gary District Bulldogs. Gary played their arch rival, the Welch Maroon Wave, in the annual Battle for the Barrel. Gary won football state titles in 1966 and '70. Players from Gary District

-The last HS game at this stadium was 1977. -The town's segregated school, with essentially the same name, also played here. -A+ mascot name -1966 and '70 were special -Played their brownish-crimson rival in the Battle for the Barrel

Not sure...Some of these closed WV schools are new to me

The Mayor wastes no time coming up with right school! It's the home of the Peterstown Pirates. Fun fact: The 34.48-carat Jones Diamond was discovered nearby during a game of horseshoes in 1928. It's the largest alluvial diamond ever found in North America

-Two different schools played here with the last game in 1994. -Go Pirates and Purple Horses! -Punch Jones pitched his lucky horseshoe nearby. -Narz neighbor

@Union_Fan I hope this helps. It appears Lil' Powell Valley Fan peed in the James River watershed

A survey to determine if your school has a proper high school stadium? -Are there features built by non-skilled labor such as students, coaches, or parents? -Are there any parts of the stadium that were donated used? -Is the field a good soaking rain away from becoming a mosh pit? -Are bleachers, buildings, or fencing mismatched by type, style, or era? -Are doors now secured with padlocks because keys were lost years ago? -Does the field serve double-duty for another activity, such as baseball or a county fair? -Is the stadium close enough to a public road that a vehicle could careen into the stands from above? -Do you pee in a trough? If you answered YES to four or more questions, Congratulations!, your school has a proper high school stadium.

SWVA Fan rings in first. It's Fanning Field, home of the Iaeger Cubs (pronounced YAY-ger). Iaeger closed in 2010 when it consolidated with Big Creek to form River View. The old HS and stadium were razed around 2015 when a new elementary school was built on the site.
