No chance in hell of Smyth County giving the revenue of a state semifinal to Washington County. 

Good on Holston and congrats to Galax. It's been a long time since the Cavs' state tournament runs under Matlock, and they've been the underlings of the Hogo for longer than they'd like to admit. Hope this gives them some experience to stay competitive the next couple of years. Good to see one of the lower enrollment VHSL schools swing above their weight class, and hopefully the Tide can pull the upset against Riverheads.

Woah there, BW, let's not get too braggartly 😂

I have two problems with the rules stated.  First it should be treated equally the same and no different for the band vs noise makers.  A sudden noise is much more distracting than the band playing something.  Secondly, I have been at many games that the band starts playing and it carries through several plays.  So there isn't even equal enforcement.

Interesting about the train going by. Would have never thought about that. I did do a search and found this. Guess they added it. One note of difference..."live ball" is defined differently for the band than it is for an amplified noise maker.
 
54-18-1 Bands-Participating schools' bands/pep bands are not allowed to play during
live ball situations at any VHSL event. Any deviation from this policy will constitute a VHSL
Sportsmanship Violation under Section 30 (Penalties/Fines) and may be defined as excessive unsportsmanlike conduct ($300 fine).
Note: For the purpose of this rule in football, live ball situations begin with the offense breaking the huddle or for no huddle offenses when the offense begins getting into a
formation.
54-19-1 Artificially and/or Amplified Noisemakers-The use of artificially and/or amplified noisemakers (examples of this include, but are not limited to, train or diesel horns,
amplified guitar note or riff ) are not allowed during live ball situations at any VHSL event.
Any deviation from this policy will constitute a VHSL Sportsmanship Violation (Excessive
Unsportsmanlike Conduct - $300 Fine).

Note: For the purpose of this rule in football, live ball situations begin with the ball being handled by the snapper.

Grew up a quarter mile down stream from the muck dam. Can relate.

I believe he went on to become "fake Undertaker."

Sure is, even faster than my auto correct 🤣

I think he did that in the first half last week in Radford.

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

Didn't like Union at first but it was more creative than Central and Eastside i guess.  Appy Valley BullVikes just wasn't meant to be.

It's a hard life pickin stones and pullin teets, but as sure as God's got sandles...

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

Are you saying Josh Shoemaker's only 6'7"?  He's 6'9" ALL DAY LONG! I'll find a relative to come on this site and confirm.

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