There can be many reasons for a mid-week scrimmage.  Beginning of the school year can be one significant reason.  Community events can be another and may play larger roles than many people realize.  Galax has struggled for decades scheduling a first scrimmage to the season because it's the week of the Galax Fiddlers Convention.  Fiddlers Convention brings a lot of tourists and money into the region but it also disrupts everything locally for the entire week.  If you haven't been, its truly a spectacle.

 

Galax and Mount Airy, NC began scrimmaging a few years ago on Wednesday of that week in an effort to combat similar experiences with the local disruption.  Mount Airy is almost as heavily involved in Fiddlers Convention as Galax given the proximity.  Many Fiddlers attendees stay in hotels in Mount Airy as Galax and Hillsville hotels fill up years in advance.

 

The sheer volume of people in such a confined space is difficult to deal with.  It also attracts a small percentage of folks lacking judgement, morals, and respect.  They often bring their baggage to our area and we must deal with the ramifications.  The event is an overall positive for the community and region but difficult to not get annoyed with for anyone living in the area.  I can't blame Galax coaches and administrators for wanting to keep the football team secluded from that disruption as much as possible.

Start time for that has been changed to 4:00 instead of 5:00.  That's the first day of school in Tazewell Co. as well.

 

August 18th - Mitchell Stadium

 

4:00 PM - Graham vs. Glenvar

5:20 PM - Glenvar vs. Gate City

6:40 PM - Gate City vs. Graham

 

Each scrimmage is 2 quarters.

I heard today that bluefield and Giles will scrimmage. Can anyone confirm this

From everything I heard about a month ago this is happening...Don't know if it's a scrimmage or a benefit game? And I'm assuming it's the 2nd week of scrimmage weeks. I know Giles usually has a controlled scrimmage against Hidden Valley the first week. And i would almost guarantee that the game will be at Mitchell Stadium because I can't remember the last time Giles had a home scrimmage

That would be better than Bluefield scoring 70+ on Shady Spring as they've done the last several years in the second scrimmage...

Update. The Richlands Jamboree will feature Richlands, Belfry, KY, Pulaski, and George Wythe. That's 4 very, very good teams. Should be a good guage of how your team stacks up.

Wish I could go to this one.  Will be watching Graham vs. Cave Spring and Floyd on that day.  Bluefield vs C Burg the next and probably Graham vs. Gate City vs. Glenvar on the 18th. Then either Bluefield vs. Giles or Richlands vs. Honaker.   Thank the lord that football is almost here.  I can't take it anymore.

Eastside

 

Home vs Holston 8/11 6:00

They will play in the Ridgeview Jamboree 8/19

 

 

The teams last year in it was Twin Valley, Chillhowie, Ridgeview, Wise Central, and I'm pretty sure Hurley.
