Grundy, Hurley, and twin valley combining right?

Been approved. Set to open fall of 2026.

Will will this school be built? Hasn't this been discussed for years now but nothing ever happens?

Former Abingdon QB Jake Hess officially the new HC. Her served as an asst for the last 4yrs.

There are some very good ideas for Scott County in this post, and the Big A's of B.C. is great!

They need something like the Upper Keen Wildcats, the Big A's of B.C, or the Coal Canyon Miners. Heck even the Buchanan County Buchs (Bucks). Who am I to say though. If it was us here in Scott County we would need something other than the name of a high school already in place. Something like the Midway Commanders (if it was in the Midway area of the county on Veterans Memorial Highway), or the Moccasin Gap Trailblazers. All I know is if Buchanan County can consolidate Scott County may not be far behind. Travel time in Scott County is nothing like the mountains of Buchanan...and they aren't even including Council either.

I thought they already chose the coyotes.

Wish the man luck.

I'll give him 1 possibly 2 years before a bunch of losses happen and he develops 'health problems- once again

Wish him luck. That's a tough gig.

Don't know about the situation and haven't heard this. I hope Turner does well at Pikeview. Tough school to win at in football. Nice area around Athens/Princeton area. Pikeview is off I-77 and not far from Beckley, close to Princeton, Concord, Pipestem. Nice area, but in football going to be tough. Bluefield, Princeton, Graham on the VA side ain't that far, James Monroe ain't that far from Pikeview, and deceptively close up in Coal City is Independence High.

Didn't Pikeview just hire a new head coach a couple months ago? Anybody got the inside scoop what's going on up there?

Named: Terry Barrett - probably S&C and assistant HC type duties. Jordan Seals - not sure positional responsibilities Brandon Breeding - probably RB, not sure defense; previous Richlands coaching experience Eric Phipps - probably OL/DL, previous Richlands experience Bobby Adkins - not sure position but has previous Richlands coaching experience; I think article mentioned being a volunteer assistant. Not formally named but assuming will be: Bubba Edwards - OC, QB coach; not sure if he will help on defense So, I'm not seeing LB, DB and WR yet.....but Seals could be helping out in those areas.

ATW put this out a couple of years ago with some potential names and mascots for Buchanan County (This was the 3rd poll ATW conducted) The original Polls included a head to head Mascot challenge. This is not OFFICIAL (not related to the formal BCPS form) so feel free to chime in, would love to hear some ideas from this group. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Gcd7VslcTSjSJK5hk67SMyNQdEp5S8uVU1cSjzc9ugA/edit

They Buchanan county neighbors of Kentucky

Name the school after a man's man and a great American. "Smiley" Ratliff Rowdy Rebels School Motto:The Pussification Ends Right Here, Right Now!

In all honesty I have seen discussions online about keeping it as Grundy High. If they do, how much of that is because of just wrestling?

In tribute to the coal inustry, the 'Powder Monkeys." In tribute to Grundy's rowdy past like many SWVA towns, the "Pistol Whippers," or "Curb Stompers" would be cool as well. The "Ace and Gary Rolling Thunderball," "Angry Anglicans," "Butchering Baptists," and "Pissed Off Presbyterians" all need to be off the table!

Hounds does have a nice ring to it, Black and Blue

Coal Canyon Coonhounds

Coondogs.

Is "We Borrowed Money From Former Rival Graham's Hidden Funds High School" too wordy?

Who plays who and when will they be played? I assume first round games are at the higher seed then where?

If I had a "VOTE", I'd go with the Buchanan Co Blueticks.
