There's got to be some balance to it all. We (my wife and I) went on vacation, I shopped and went pretty much wherever I wanted. We also didn't go around our parents or grandparents for months until we knew more about what was going on and how to handle it. By my standards what we did wasn't reckless but by others standards it certainly was. To each their own.

Y’all got good numbers! Our numbers were down a bit. Graham loses 4 Seniors, Fritz will be hardest to replace. That boy was a workhorse. Graham only had 16 solely varsity I think maybe 36ish with JV added in...we need a few more bodies. We didn’t have enough to run live plays that Wednesday & Thursday before Union game when varsity came out of quarantine. They had to line up across from trashcans until JV was out of quarantine on the Friday before the game. Trashcans are good for trash but not getting prepared for a playoff game. Hopefully, numbers are up next year for everyone.

Went back and watched play he wasnt off sides just unblocked

Literally their recipe for success. Tough to beat a team like that

Nope, we have almost a full stable returning this fall. Our QB is only a jr. Our roster is filled with freshmen and sophmores and i know of atleast 1 RB from jv that is going to be a killer.

I've picked them to lose 34-0 every week so I'm gonna pick em to lose all the way to state hopefully

Since all my other predictions in 2A have gone well, I’ll go with Union by 34. I mean, they’ve ridden a cosmically improbable set ot circumstances to this point, why not get into “win the Powerball” territory?

May the odds be ever in their favor! Is this a Quarter Quell year? 😁

And so it is decreed that, each year, the various districts of Class 1 Region C and D would offer up, in tribute, one team of brave young men to battle the Riverheads Gladiators in a pageant of honor, courage and sacrifice.

Again-my post may not apply to you. The point remains that plenty of people, especially in our area, have used the mantras of “freedom” and “no fear” to act irresponsibly in the midst of a deadly pandemic. I have disagreed with Ralph plenty lately for what I consider to be nonsensical guidelines. That said-this thing spreads rapidly in close quarters-we have an abundance of evidence of that...

This is great! After all the Covid crap, this one wins for getting the board back on track, lol!!! I’m torn as to which one will be the most worthy sacrifice, lol!

Can some of you be more dramatic or judgmental? Good grief! Live your life, let others live theirs; agree to disagree. Every life lost is tragic no matter the circumstances. I took (continue to take) precautions, & even got the vaccine but I also chose to live my life, traveled & went on two vacations, visited family, had holiday celebrations...unlike @Bluefield Researcher, I have children and grandchildren and we have wonderful memories. Be blessed friends!

So your happiness is more important than potentially the lives of others. Got it. If you can't see how that's incredibly selfish and harmful, I can't help you. People don't always have the option to stay home. But I'm glad you're willing to let other people die as long as it doesn't inconvenience you in the slightest. And you called me selfish for just pointing out that the risk is not just to you. I'm sure you favor getting rid of drunk driving laws, all laws surrounding AIDS, etc... since you believe personal freedom completely outweighs public.safety.

You are spot on here. Shane has done a great job and I sure as hell wouldn't want to come in after Dixon but he has done it the right way in my opinion. The QB was down certainly not a fumble and Galax got pass happy after the first drive of the second half. Although Galax had people open many many times that the QB just didn't see which hurt them and got them behind the chains. Although he threw some strikes last night as well. Cole is an athlete for sure. I give Narrows front seven alot of credit they flowed to the ball extremely well and was physical (certainly the best we have seen all year.) like in stated earlier Galax had receivers open for days all night, Narrows just hadn't seen that type of speed all year and it showed against the their DBs. Although I cannot figure out why Narrows NEVER ONCE covered our slot receiver when we went trips? I also have to give Galax Defense credit to shut down Narrows like they did and hold them to less than a hundred yards total offense was an impressive showing. They will have to repeat it next week against a very athletic and mobile QB in Holston.. Congrats to Narrows to a great year.

My second born son was just named to the varsity soccer team at Liberty-Bedford. Pretty sure he is the only freshman that was taken. They had good numbers at tryouts and it's a very deep pool in terms of talent. All three of my boys are pretty gifted physically. But #2 is the best athlete among them by far. He also wrestles (won three event medals in his first year) and played pretty much every down on the JV football team this spring season. Kid has also suffered mightily this past year due to the various shutdowns. So this good news is certainly welcome and I just can't help but crow about it.
