That’s what an Appomattox person posted. No one was allowed on the Appomattox school premises all weekend.

Appomattox.

The current head coach at Auburn has coaching experience in New York. Coupled with the fact he's been in the Riner area for quite some time now, makes the hire even more sensical. I don't think coaching can or will fix the issues at Auburn. I don't think the community as a whole value football to the same degree thye value every other sport. Which is proven by the amount of success they have had in virtually every other sport. Speaking of Jack Turner, nobody in my memory has ever failed up with more gusto. He is now the Offensive Line coach and Strength and Conditioning Coordinator for Ferrum College.

Grundy has always been great at the LOS against Tazewell, pounding that ball every play. We do have a better line this year but Grundy will make you work for it.

Grundy will not have the athletes to match up, even if Tazewell isn't performing at it's best. But then again, if Grundy plays physical keep-away and can score, they could pull it off. They'll need it if they're thinking about pairings in November.

They'll be in the playoffs, just not in the spot they've been accustomed to. Either way, they gotta play Glenvar or Radford and if they win it'll be both. Tough task this season as they appear down from usual but they'll still bring it and be a tough out.

Battle is up and down so much it's hard to say who's going to show up. Lebanon D is suspect as much as Battle offense is inconsistent. Last possession wins kind of game. 38-35 could go either way

FBI shut down which campus?

Jack turner? Haha

Lebanon will not have an edge in the passing game. VHS secondary will be able to cover and the Pioneers cannot run the football.

I do agree that VA high will control the LOS in this one but the new QB for VA High threw for 104 yard 88 of which where on one play. That play was a heck of a play by that kid but I think its too early to compare him to Reese O'Quinn or Creasy. The most impressive thing that freshman QB did against Graham was not absolutely crap down his leg against the defending state champs. I would give Lebanon the edge in the passing game by a lot in that match up.

Bandana you are always professional in your posts and I enjoy your insight on this board. I was thinking Auburn would hire out of house and bring in someone who is known for building programs. The current coach may do so. I don't know much about him. I just know a former head coach who was rumored to have applied that would have been a great hire for Auburn.

Who would have even been talking about this being a competitive game two years ago. I think Rye Cove is one of the most fundamentally coached teams around. Coach Norris and Coach Salyers were both excellent head coaches. Now they are assistants on the same team. Wow!

If they happen to make it in the top 4, I would not be surprised if they won every away playoff game in their region. They just have that magic come playoff time. It will be a big shocker if they don’t make the playoffs though, we’re all used to seeing them there.

With a current 1-4 record I’d be surprised if they even make it in to the top 4 even if they win out. They’ll probably be traveling all throughout the Region C playoffs while breaking hearts for the home teams.

If you ever do get the job, bring back those sweet '86 unis on Day 1.

It’s beginning to look like with this forfeit if Appomattox wins region C, they will most likely be traveling for the semis. I know it’s a big if at this point who will win region C. It could be one of several teams right now. I find it interesting they decided the game would be a forfeit when the FBI were the ones who shut the campus down so the game couldn’t be played on Saturday after it was canceled Friday. It seems totally out of Appo’s hands at that point. This decision certainly helps LB. https://roanoke.com/sports/high-school/football/lord-botetourt-appomattox-county-football-game-ruled-a-forfeit/article_48bb0c20-5c92-11ee-97d1-3b52d5cde6be.html

I’m sure Tazewell is like other programs. Politics and favoritism takes control and ruins it for kids. I don’t know how you fix it or if it’s fixable. Tazewell has had several talented athletes the past several years and those talents were limited or never focused on because of personal agendas. I think it’s sad for any school that goes through that.
