big ugly vol

23 was a good number on the first day of two a days at Pocahontas 

Gate City has the talent. They do have a couple big uglies up front in Kert Gibson and Logan Davidson and two big backs in Calhoun and Tomlinson to go along with some other scat backs like Jenkins and Mack. Blanton is a tough runner and Reed is capable of making plays at quarterback. Gate City has normally played us tough with the exception of a few games 

I've always seen it like this
rec league - developing players 
travel ball - winning
@sixcat has talked about Galax playing 8 man rec ball, lots of kids playing and the focus is on developing players. Best idea I've heard of as long as it doesn't turn into daddy ball

I agree with you both. However, when I think about it, the games aren't for the fans or the money they generate. 
They're really for the players. If it weren't for the kids that wanted to play, there wouldn't be a team. No team, no game.  No game, no fans. No fans, no money.
Does a 1-9 team "deserve" to be in the playoffs? No.
Does that senior that loves the game, and maybe is in a bad situation due to inept coaching or poor turnout deserve one more chance to put on that uniform and play the game we all love? Absolutely!!
If I was a HS senior, I would be ecstatic to play just one more time. Even if I knew I would get beat to death. Lol
Just a thought.

Holy Cow!!! Big deal on upsets in aisle 7.

Dude, since you are an Appy guy, a true story for you that makes this a small world.  I would stay with a local guy and his wife when I would go down that way for derailments which was about 5 times. He was older than me, but was kind of the local railroad host, him and his wife when I would go to Andover and that area in the early 90s for derailments. His son played on two Appy state title teams I think in 91 and 93 or 92 and 94ish, and he started on the line for three seasons. I lost contact with this local dude by 1995. We just fell out of touch as I left the railroad.
Fast forward to 2018 and I get a condo at the beach. I'm moving my stuff in and the wife and I are getting it ready for renting and a guy offers us help moving some stuff in and boom, it's him. He lives next door.  He and his wife had lived at the beach for 19 years. I hadn't seen him in nearly 25 years and out of the blue, there he is.
My wife and I just went to the beach this past Saturday and returned yesterday. The first thing he asked me this time was, "what happened to them G-Men." I knew he would go there, but oh well, a good dude. He's a lot older now, and a die-hard Union guy that follows them closely.

Play calling is RV’s Achilles heel. Many in the staff could get the ball to their athletes in space. The ones that matter Have no interest in that kind of silliness. 

A good attitude means the world. Hard for a lot of kids to see that until they’re not kids anymore. 

He also shuts his mouth and lets his pads do the talking. No showboating when he houses it either. He plays the game with the respect that it should be played with.

Union looked beastly. Although Ridgeview's receivers made some good catches they had almost no separation when they threw the ball. The Bears definitely looked like the big bad wolf last night. 

It has gotten a bit stuffy around here lately so I thought we could use some football laughs.

I’ve watched him. Thought he’s looked really good.
