I'm still holding out for the Smyth County Scarlet War-Panthers.

It's frickin' embarrassing (kicks trash can across the locker room)

Scary part is, he still has room to grow. By this fall he's likely to be 6 ft 20.

Went to Tazewell for a forensics tournament my senior year. Being a Smyth County bus driver, but not from the area, he knew that he couldn't take 16 across Walker Mountain, but thought he could cut through Rich Valley to Tannersville, then cross Clinch on 16. We should have known this was a bad idea when he turned down Possum Hollow in Rich Valley thinking it would take him past Rich Valley Elementary and Northwood Middle. He managed to miss the turn to Tannersville at Bradford, and made it all the way to the 42/16 intersection before he realized it, at which point he figured, "that sign says turn left for Tazewell," so, he went for it. Big Brushy is not as bad as Walker, but it's not much better, and considering we had already turned around and gotten a new bus because the brakes were going out on the one we were originally in, I've never seen a more panic stricken human than that bus driver on the north side of Big Brushy.

Getting a little Whoopi you say?
