It is not about an upside or a downside. It is about getting to play. I am getting to the point where I believe high schools sports are better without playoffs.
Because high school football is NOT about the playoffs. It is about teaching young men lessons thru competition. The only lesson they learn here is about how grown ups manipulate the system.
Rappahannock County played their 2nd game of the year last night. Lost to Thomas Jefferson Tech High School of Fairfax County 34-8. Thomas Jefferson Tech is rated the best high school in America by many publications. It is a "magnet" school that has been in the news lately for admitting too many Asians.
If there are two people in the booth stats can be done as described. The play by play man shuts up after the play and lets the color man do color. This is my biggest peeve against Graham broadcast. The color man needs to be quiet during the play. Add your thoughts after the play.
Bluefield wasn't going to play the most important game on 3 days practice. Let's not forget the favor Bluefield did Graham by not taking a forfeit in week 1. The road to the 2A championship game would be going through Appomattox and not Bluefield.
There are lots of products / meds that are used in animals and humans for the same reason and for different reasons. Insulin is one. They just vary the concentration between human and animal. Ivermectin is another. Is it horse de-wormer? Yes. Does it have other useful purposes in humans? Yes. The part that is troubling to me is that someone is controlling the media to the point that whenever an alternative or proactive treatment is showing positive treatment to Covid the Liberal slanted media (perhaps on orders from above) immediately describes in such a negative way and pathetically distorts facts. Then they have to back off when several months later the treatment that they attacked is actually approved as one way to help either prevent or lessons the effects of Covid. It just smells as if they are trying to push that the one and only way to attack covid is thru the vaccine and all others are some kind of voodoo.
Pass me that pipe. LOL. I understand what you are saying but this year Bluefield has had so little practice. Coach Simon's strength is coaching up kids. Bluefield's middle school program is so poor that Simon has to teach kids football. There are a lot of of players at new positions this year. They are talented but still learning the basics. It showed vs Princeton. Lots of minor penalties. Lots of confusion on where to set up. Bluefield has had one scrimmage and one game.
I was just too lazy to walk to the other side and take a photo of the massive home bleachers. I did film a game for Pocahontas in that box on the hill on Sept 9, 1994.
