Go back and read again. The answer is no the won't be harmed. The vast majority will actually be helped because beating Bland would lower most schools rating vs not playing them.

Good teams are better off playing 9 games rather than taking a forfeit from Bland.

Another thing an a lot of us were talking at Battles media day is travel ball football, it has killed little league now starting to take its toll on football, rec football is gone. The league here we travel all the way to Pigeon Forge, then to Ridgeview an Union. A lot of kids parents can not make trips like that either because of work or maybe a car that might not make the trip so the kids cant play. That was brought up an we were told that parents had plenty of time to work out something, an what if their child gets hurt far away, so the kid does not play. If we want HS football to continue we have to have the feeder program.

Speaking for young families in areas like Bristol, Va and Scott County, they head next door, across the state line to NETN to work in cities like Bristol, Tn, Johnson City, Piney Flats, Kingsport, and others, where there are a plethora of opportunities in the world of manufacturing. I turn 40 in a couple of weeks, I live in Bristol, Va, and in all of my working years, I’ve only spent four of those years working in Virginia. One year of which I worked in Va. Beach, when my kids were little, where I found out that I wasn’t made for living in a big city. There are just more opportunities in NETN, than in SWVA. Definitely true about the competition for jobs in the rest of Virginia. Even with the Hampton Roads area housing 1/4 of the state’s entire population, there is always work available, but there are plenty of people looking for work.

5:30 start time.

But it also increases the value of bonus points received from your other opponents. When you play 10 games each bonus point is worth 0.10. When you play 9 games they are worth 0.11. Just a fraction of a difference but enough to put you ahead of another school.

3 times including the playoff game

Graham and Bluefield did it.

That’s a bold prediction considering Trenton Adkins plays in that region.

Graham/Beaver game this year will have 6 or 7 D1 athletes playing. Pretty impressive for such a small area.

Unless the point system has changed this year, an 8 win 3A school or a 10 win 2A school would both yield 16 pts to the loser.

They could always play the Oct 4 game at Auburn and the 11-8 game at the Fort.

No rules against it.

I think it was the hometown that ran him off before he headed to Bland Co.

Is any parent ever happy with the play calling unless it's their kid getting the ball 100% of the time

Lame excuse

You go tell Olivia Bailey that hahah. That’s 4 foot 10 inches of honey badger right there.
