I'm anxious to see how Tazewell progresses the next two or three seasons. I think they'll definitely be in contention in a year or two, may even surprise some people this year.

SWVAgridiron 1,469 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 Just now, Union_Fan said: That seems very low for Giles. Very, Very Low..... also talks of not having a JV team this season. Just having 8th and 9th combined, and 10, 11th, and 12th combined. But that's all rumors right now. Maybe someone else can verify Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have eliminated the middle school team, and 8th graders are playing JV, like in other sports. SWVAgridiron 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

50kw 140 Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 I'm hearing several schools are struggling to field 8th grade and/or JV teams. Is the population decrease to blame or just a lack of interest in football? Bearcat Dad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountain Football 1,532 Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 We have around 30 7th and 8th graders for middle school at Graham this year. Probably more than we've had in a while. Now the problem is finding teams to play. If Giles doesn't have a MS team that will leave Graham with 5 or 6 games I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never thought id see numbers that low. I really enjoyed going to watch 8th and jv on Thursdays. I'm ready for a consolidation, but that's just me.

nrv_football 81 Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 Absolutely pitiful numbers for giles this year. A 2A team with the numbers of a small 1A school. I'm sure the coaches will do great with what they have but I don't expect a great season with those numbers. Unless there is some major talent in a few positions.

Wvumav 20 Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 Numbers are down in a lot of places. In a surprise though I heard Oak Hill WV has like 70 players out. If that’s true that’s quite amazing for them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
