I will make a point to introduce myself. And thank you for serving.

Yea, they seem to be pretty big favorites. Nothing against Springfield, but I hope they demolish them.

Lol. I’ve got my handle wrapped with a baseball bat grip. So I’m thinking batters gloves haha. Swapping hands didn’t help. I had these two by the first qtr and they were busted. Devotion haha. Plus the bell is about six pounds. It’s not Thor’s hammer. Maybe it’s little cousin. 

That game was epic, what memories that brings back.

I'll be there.  I'll be the one guy in the park wearing a bright teal San Jose Sharks jersey.  Won't be hard to miss.  Lol

Also worth noting Thor's hammer has received some upgrades. 

Most of us "good ole country boys" would never question a high school kid's heart or effort. And that's the last comment I'll make on that. 

And there's no shame in that. 

Thanks Razor,  wish I could go,  I would love to be there with you guys watching this game !  I am just not able to make the trip and sit in stands.  Nothing too serious,  just enough to keep me from going.
  I believe it could be a heck of a game !  Hope you guys have a safe ride down and have a great time !  GO BEARS !!

Very proud of this team

?

Fun fact I just discovered.  Both 2A semi-finals are being played in a municipal park.  
Robert E. Lee-Staunton's home field is at Gypsy Hill Park. 
I would guess the more politically-correct residents of Staunton are not thrilled about the name of the high school or city park.
 
 
 

Just talked to Unions AD Mr. Goforth and asked him about the Giles train horn he said if they want to bring it. Tell then to come on with it. Just had to be on Unions side he will be getting Lee Highs train horn as well all we need now is the 1 from Gate City.

Good read here!  
Appo fan and dad of two boys on the team.  Want to take a second to shout out a thanks for all the support thrown Appomattox's way.  The program has flourished over the past three-four years under Coach Smith.  What a great Richalnds team we played in 15 and the Union and Richlands teams of 16 were good too.  That Raiders team of 16 was jjsut something special.  One the likes Union knows from back in their split days.  LOTS of respect up here for both of those programs!  You don't make the deep run they both have without good athletes, feeder programs, and coaching.
Also thanks for the respect given to Coach Smith.  Not in the matter of what he has done football wise for Appomattox but for what he has done "character" wise for the young men in Appomattox.  He goes so far beyond being a football coach to these boys!  I feel very blessed to have him coaching my boys and experiencing the love of Christ he exudes. 
 
Don't think we are all the "axis powers" over here.  :) 
 
GO RAIDERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Was just gonna point out the Union game is at 3 Ryan. I know you said 2 the first time and I'm not sure if you said 3 before the podcast ended. Either way, didn't want any confusion. 

If only you would have registered earlier this year to pass on the memo to us. 
 
Good for him. I hope the best for him.

APPOMATTOX has seen more than it fair share of heartbreak in the last few years loosing its young people to accidents and death at every turn, last year in the early morning hours on game day they lost a beloved teammate on the baseball team to a car accident but they still played on and beat UNION .within just a few hours the UNION family lost the mother of one of our cheerleaders JANINIA JEFFERSON (JONES)to a murder by ERIC MONROE JONES(WHO IS STILL ON THE RUN).APPOMATTOX WAS CONTACTED AND ASKED TO PRAY FOR THE FAMILY, THEY DID, AND ALSO LOWERED THE FLAG TO HALF MASS AT THEIR NEXT HOME GAME.This shows the true heart of the real football families from APPOMATTOX and it speaks of real class of the fine people that the football team represent.They also carry the PO1 slogan on their backs into every game and have their prayer circle before each home game, so regaurdless of the score they are winners,they have inspired me and even though I am pulling for the BEARS , I already know these young men on both sides will make us proud 

I was hoping he was gone its hard to go 80 yards every drive

Don't take that serious. That's more of a props to the athletes of those teams than it is a shot at the coaches. C'mon man

This Richlands fan will be there with my big mouth and my Blue Tornado Cowbell yelling "Go Bears"!!!!

Imagine that. They added actual seating unlike Appo adding “seating” for Richlands two years ago. It was two sets of bleachers that held 30 people each. 
Can’t wait for this game. Can’t express how much I want Union to beat the brakes off Appo. It may not happen, but I hope to God it does. 

I don't think he did. I think he just knew it would get a response like the one you gave.
