Bigtom 42 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 But really he does have a Point. Just because of the special ed enrollment puts them over the numbers. Sorry bout it. As i see it, it really doesn't help either side. Mnt 7 teams have to play a AAA school and like this yr get beat but it also doesn't really prepare Abingdon for 3A playoffs.

50kw 140 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 Beat them and it's not an issue. It should be a good challenge for M7 schools. Skipper, Way to make your first post a memorable one. starcityfootballfan and Bearcat Dad 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody complains when the Mountain 7 teams beat Abingdon like last year, and they end up with bonus points for beating a bigger school. Plus, the comparison of school size versus a 4 year age difference in teenagers is asinine. Now, if Abingdon’s varsity were playing M7 JV teams, then yeah. I really hate the fact I’ve been forced to defend Abingdon. Bearcats hate Falcons and vice versa 🤣 Gridiron60, BigWinners and Hokie101 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose111874 967 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 If from Union and I love it because they're in our district. It helps prepare all the other schools come playoff time. And you may want to do a spell check next time. Bigtom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think its good to play them. I just wish VHSL would alow them to drop down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigtom 42 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 Abingdon is very good this year and should be proud to be mnt 7 champs. They beat 2 very good teams to do so and earned it Gridiron60 and mv91 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think its good to play them. I just wish VHSL would alow them to drop down. I really don’t mind Abingdon being AAA, for the reason you posted earlier. If the special ed department is the reason they have such a high enrollment, then that should have absolutely no bearing on whether or not they have stronger athletic teams. As far as getting them ready for 3A playoffs, outside of Northside and LB, their region is not very good this year. Abingdon has played at least 4 of the 2A playoff teams this year. Being a supporter of a 2A rival of Abingdon’s, I have no real issue with them being in a 2A district in football. They are in a very unique situation.

goose111874 967 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 If we fumble 7 times again this week we'll lose to Battle a 2a school so it doesn't matter how many kids they have. Union_Fan and Hokie101 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union_Fan 2,155 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 I have no problem whatsoever with Abingdon being in the M7. If Union is going to Schedule Mo West (1551 enrollment) they shouldn't have a problem with Abingdon's 924 students. A rising tide lifts all boats. Win or lose, it will only help us come playoff time.
