There is no doubt that Marion is a very good football team,too bad they lack class. It's pathetic that they run the score up on smaller schools & should not even be in Hogo district.

Beating a dead horse? By your rules, we need to kick Abingdon out of the Southwest since they are AAA and everyone else is AA. Marion isn't hugly larger than the others as a whole. We've went over this time and time again.

Team A scores points. Team B doesn't. Team A benches their starters. Team B doesn't. Team A still scores points. Team B still doesn't.

Listen, I don't like Marion being in the Hogo, but like it or not, they're not going anywhere; it's a geographical fit. Two of the three forks of the Hogoheegee River (The Holston) start inside of Marion's school district, making them a better geographic candidate than Rural Retreat or George Wythe, who have both been members of the Hogo for 20+ years. Geography is the only concern of the VHSL when it comes to Districts, and unless someone finds a way to pick up and move a town, nothing is going to change them being there. Above and beyond that, I don't know how many players Marion fields, but you would be hard pressed to find a 2A school in the state that fields a smaller team. They're usually matched man-for-man by all the 1A teams in the Hogo, and in the case of George Wythe and Chilhowie, they're probably going to be outnumbered on the roster list.

If you somehow think that it's better for the kids' self-esteem for Marion to start kneeling the ball in the 3rd quarter, I'm sure that Coach Carroll would be willing to oblige you, but aside from that, I don't know what more you expect from them.

We here in Salt Vegas have always known that Marion in classless. About time others are starting to notice. Come playoff time they will get the role reversed. KARMA

The way things are set up now all that matters is the playoffs, districts are just to help fill out a schedule. It actually helps the small schools playing a 2A team.

You can't get the people from "Saltvegas" and Damacus to understand that. All they want to do is play the "we are so small playing these bigger schools" card.  I know I'm from there, I've played it myself in the past.  Yes it might be a loss more often than not but it does 2 things; POWER POINTS, POWER POINTS, POWER POINTS, and it is a step up in competition which will better perpare them for the playoffs.

Northwood has played Marion every year since Northwood became a school, thats not going to change.  As far as classless, as in running up the score when you have the jv's in the game and you still can't stop them, well that just can't be helpped.  I have my own thoughs about the classieness of the wrong side of walker mountain (Chilhowie/Marion) but that is biased because of where I'm from.  I have no doubt they think porely of us as well.

If the VHSL had placed Grayson, Carroll and Marion in the Hogo they would have a legit beef but just 1 school ising a big deal with the current setup.

I agree, everyone in the Hogo has played Marion in recent years with the exception of Holston and they already play a 2a school.  I mean it's not like they will play them again in the playoffs or in tournements.

Did Falconman and Southbound change their screen names?

I can see why you'd think that but I know who this guy is.

I know most of you have already viewed the video but if you have not google Northwood Hitler. That is funny.

I think someone posted it on here at one time. If anyone hasnt seen it its definitely worth a watch.  Also the same video has been dubbed over a Brony Hitler and its great!
