SWVA_HOKIE 25 Report Share Posted November 30, 2018 What a complete joke and major distraction for those kids from Chilhowie. Galax has to have all of the motivation in the world now. Chilhowie fans, staff, and administration are acting like moving a game from a muddy field to a college stadium with wonderful facilities to a field with sinkholes and giant rocks in the corner of the end zone with pine trees two feet from the pylons is a great idea. Also why did they go practice at Emory & Henry? I smell ego city because VHSL moved it to Emory without consulting with them first. I hope all that complained are happy with the outcome. I hate it for those kids especially the seniors. Reminds me of Tennessee trying to hire Greg Schiano lol!

Worthy days this is not something that just popped up when we became Northwood. Both schools hated Chilhowie before they combined as to why nobody could ever answer that.

SWVA_HOKIE 25 Report Share Posted November 30, 2018 Northwood's principal was a good football player at Chilhowie. Probably has a lot to do with them offering to host. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a huge brawl that happened at the end of a basketball game in the 87/88 season. I know this to be true because I was in it and remember it like it was yesterday.

Topper24 14 Report Share Posted November 30, 2018 The fact that Chilhowie is ok with playing at Northwood shows this had nothing to do with losing concessions or money in the town. It's all about not wanting to play Galax on turf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Null 17 Report Share Posted November 30, 2018 Also, Why isn't their a rule that if they are going to change venues to give both parties at least a 48 hour notice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose111874 967 Report Share Posted November 30, 2018 6 hours ago, sup_rbeast said: IMO, Chilhowie earned the right to play the game wherever they choose. It's football, if they want to play in the mud then the game should be played in the mud. I agree with u on that chilhowie should get to choose. I can't recall any other season that has been affected by so much rain as this year has. I think since the week Union lost to Abingdon it has rained either Friday or Saturday every week except last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
