    Chilhowie Field

    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!

    Look I understand your and their concerns and disappointment. Although the post I have seen in social media this morning about calling Galax a bunch #$$##0because they didn't want to play in the mud and they are the reason it got moved is petty and simply not the case. That's not how the VHSL works, three games got moved. I think the surrounding areas would be more simpathetic to the communities complaints if all that was not being spewed all over social media. Galax had no say in it, the school admins no this to be true yet they continue to let their community think this is the case. Look Galax beat us twice this year and I am all for Chilhowie getting the win, although people saying what they are social media is just making Chilhowie look bad. To be honest it is placing an ugly blemish on what is a stellar moment for your community. I completely get the financial impact to the community, I heard Galax had went out and spent a couple of thousand dollars on new cleats for their players just for this game. I am sure their is people on here from Chilhowies administration reading this, so step up and ensure the misplaced anger at the fans of Galax is placed where it should be on the VHSL. Sorry rant over and good luck.

    I think they should move it to the Tazewell Middle School Gym.

    Drainage should be just fine pouring into those caves underneath it as long as another sinkhole doesn't open up...

    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.

    Chilhowie is the favorite anywhere on Earth; however, the lower gravitational force on Mars would clearly favor Galax's passing game. How Would Football Work if You Played It on Mars? https://www.wired.com/2015/10/physics-how-would-you-play-football-on-mars/

    VHSL should have stood their ground. What dumb decision! The audacity of a politician to step in a situation involving high school playoff venue is ridiculous. Good luck to both teams, not thinking Chilhowie bettered themselves any with this venue change and the they look like a bunch of cry babies, no offense to those Warriors who weren't cry babies.

  12. It's too bad that the VHSL doesn't decide who gets to be in the state game by attendance, if they did, then Ridgeview and Union would be playing in it. 😄

  21. It is so much more than that. It was earned by the VHSL power points system. Its home field advantage (self explanatory). Its the concession money that benefits the sports programs. It is the positive financial impact that the town businesses and community will benefit from. Its the community rallying around this team and hosting game day events and functions. Chilhowie is a small close knit community and feel these things were taken away from them without any consideration. Its one thing to know you were going to be playing at a neutral site for the last 4 weeks. Its another to change it less that 48 hours before the Kickoff!

    I mean any grass field in Smyth County is going to me a mess. It’s done nothing but rain and snow over the past 2 weeks. Hell you can’t play at Marion because even though both goal post and visitor bleachers are up the right field fence is already going across the 30 yard line. I don’t understand why you wouldn’t want to play at Emory with more parking, everyone can find a place to sit, and you don’t have to worry about getting any of your studs hurt playing on a muddy field! There were several times Sanchez got up limping last week in those same conditions idk why you would risk it. I think they win either way it will be fun to watch a full game without the jv team getting to play. But now you are stuck in the sink hole that is Saltville on a field that is just as bad as chilhowie and HAS A TREE ROOT AND ROCKS in the corner of the end zone... but hey you got a 5 minute shorter drive. I honestly how chilhowie makes it to Salem again but how about y’all focus on playing the game instead of where it is played.

  30. What sense does moving the game to Saltville make? How many weeks has it been since a game was played on that field and is it even ready to host a game that will happen in less than 24 hours?

  33. If those officials are wearing Muck Boots that may be a good indicator the game doesnt need to be played there. Poor VHSL, they have changed their mind more than my wife trying to decide on an outfit to wear to dinner.

  34. Disappointing for sure. Attendance went down immediately after the Abingdon game. There was a glaring issue in that game, everyone knew it wouldn't be corrected, and a lot got frustrated and didn't come to the last games. I'm hoping attendance will be back to normal next year regardless of our record.

    In case you're thinking that folks from Marion and Saltville are universally pulling for an embarrassing end to Chilhowie's season, Marion's tourism and economic director has written the state legislature about the subject. I. Kid. You. Not. So the VHSL has moved Saturday’s game from Chilhowie stadium to Emory & Henry - from natural surface to artificial turf - just three days prior to the big game. I’m reading folks have called the VHSL to express their concerns, to no avail. I’ve reached out to our legislators, knowing this isn’t a decision of theirs or one of which they even have say, but I’d imagine their voices might carry a little more weight than mine. Here’s my email to Senator Bill Carrico, Delegate Jeff Campbell, and Delegate Israel O’Quinn. I have tremendous respect for these men, and I’m certain they’d like to at least be aware of the situation. In the meantime, let’s pray for a safe, clean, honest game for our young men. And personally, from this former resident - GO WARRIORS! Gentlemen: As you’re probably hearing, VHSL has, three days before the playoff, decided to move Saturday’s game from the natural grass field to the artificial turf at Emory & Henry, citing poor field conditions. It is my understanding that the VHSL met with Chilhowie staff and provided a list of corrective actions, which I also understand have been completed, but the governing body decided to relocate the game anyway. The CHS concession stand is stocked, the Christmas parade moved, and the community is ready for a fair shot at winning. I’m all for safety for everyone, especially the student athletes competing, but this just seems so wrong. I know this isn’t necessarily your purview, but it’s an issue that is very important to a great number of our neighbors, your constituents. While you all serve a large geographic area, with fans from both teams, I’m certain neither would want the perception of changing the rules to suit their team, so I can’t imagine either team (or their fans) supporting this move, especially at this late date. The forecast for both Chilhowie and Emory has a chance of showers and temperatures in the 50s. Football has been played in much worse conditions for generations. Let’s let them just play ball. Any assistance or insight you can offer, as always, is appreciated. Sincerely, Ken Heath
