Seems like the use of Black before Raiders comes and goes. When I was in school they were just the raiders and didnt use black in their name or color scheme at all. Then a few years ago black came back. I may be 100% wrong but I think there was a racial connotation to the us of black back in the day at Norton High and they kinda of took it and ran with it. Then it became a no no, then it was used, now its a no no again. Who knows???

I would watch 3 on 3. Its better than not having a program at all or watching a team struggle every season

Ive argued for a few years that the small schools from SWVA(TW, TS, RC, TV, Hurley) plus some of the small schools from EKY(Harlan, Jenkins, etc) and maybe some of the small schools from TN(Hancock Co, etc) should drop VHSL football and form their own 8 man league. There would be some issues but the competition would be better. Single A west, why do you feel that way? Ive never watched 8 man ball. Just curious

Tony did nothing at RC and Tester wouldn't be a good move(why leave a successful Hurley program to take over a worse program to compete against your son?). Finding a good candidate will be tough this late in the game

Yeah, legit offers. Which is what I was trying to figure out. Lots of players get interest, not so many get offers. Pretty impressive for a Freshmen from SWVA.

Yes, MUCH more than I ever received. My high water mark was honorable mention all district lol. But the subject here isint my very average high school career, its about whats going on with a local player. Im glad for the kid, I truly am and I hope he does very well going forward but interest and offers are very different things. https://247sports.com/recruitment/trenton-adkins-120183/recruitinterests Very exciting for him. Keep working hard young man

Are we talking "sure, we wish you would come play for us" or "here's a scholarship to play for us".

How did we go from stadiums like that to the bull$#!+ were building now????? I mean Central and Ridgeview have excellent football facilities and both along with Union have excellent schools but they pale in comparison to the layout, architecture and overall design to those above. I do understand that money is an issue but schools like Castlewood look great and would be incredible with a stadium out front. I love the stadiums where the football field is right in front of the school and its all a little crowded together.

Post of the year nominee

Last year at the Bates the parking lot was full, if anyone shows up to watch the all star game it will be a mess. UVA-W doesn't have the best parking setup anyway. Cant be helped though, theres so much going on this time of the year

The all star game is the same day as the Bates Wrestling Tournament at... the Convocation Center. Traffic will be a nightmare. If you're not there at 6am then you're not getting a parking spot

Go Warriors!!!!!!!!! I hope they win, don't think they will

I just saw a screenshot of a Twitter tweet(?, I don't use Twitter, don't know the lingo), I cant remember exactly what was said with the pick but if I was Abingdon I would have taken it as disrespectful.

Its disrespectful imo. Nothing wrong with taking a flag to games and proudly waving it but imo you don't put it up at another teams place, especially by the gate.

Maybe it had something to do with Union fan/s putting up a Union flag near the gate at Abingdon
