Off week came at a good time for us. Wished Mullins would have still been in the Central lineup when Battle played them Friday night, so there could be a comparison because you can't deny they're an entirely different team without him under center. We beat them with Mullins under center soundly. Battle beat them without him under center soundly. I'm going with the Pack in a close one. A blocked XP makes the difference: Wolfpack 28, Trojans 27

This is MUST READ material. Great stuff! http://www.heraldcourier.com/sports/history-with-hayes-neil-johnson-told-it-like-it-was/article_23d8c5e2-aa1d-11e7-a003-1fdc6ccc812a.html

Really? I did not know this. That is interesting. I had Grayson winning tonight but losing out from here, maybe I am underestimating them as well.

The Grayson County win by such a small margin would seem to throw up a huge red (scarlet) flag to me. That's why I said what I said about 5 of the 7 M7 teams could beat Marion. Like I said, I think we'll all see come playoff time, if not tonight based on what the final margin is at Legion Field tonight.

Are you asking me that or Canes00? If you're asking me, I would say GW or Chilhowie.

I call Central Walmart Warriors all the time. Lol

So, I had a couple of Lee fans, one who is a friend of mine and one who just follows me on social media message me yesterday and are very upset over the unionbearslive tweet of the picture showing Lee brings a My Little Pony lunchbox to work. So, now Lee is mad. I, on the other hand, thought it was hilarious and cute. Lol. Even if that had been said to Ridgeview, I probably still would've laughed. Rivalries are awesome. Hope it's a good one down at 5 star tonight.

Hey, I may be wrong. Wouldn't be the first time, but I think we'll both know more, if not tonight then certainly in a month or so from now. :)

He originally committed to Carson Newman, then de-committed and went to UVa-Wise. He played one season there, then dropped out and haven't heard anything from him since.

Every other team in the M7 could beat Marion I believe except Central.

No. Just no.

I don't even know what affects it... Lol... Likes of posts I am assuming?

Good deal man. Might have to do that. Ha ha! I think Heather at WCYB is finally coming around a little bit on Wolfpack Nation. Other than that, yeah still not a lot of love. Heck, even the Dickenson Star makes mistakes on a regular basis covering our events from what I hear, so when you can't even get love from your own local paper who covers you... Even though I am from Dickenson County originally, I actually live in Bristol now, so other than one game on the Tennessee side which sounded appealing (Johnson County at Happy Valley), this is the only other intriguing game on the docket tomorrow night, and I have already seen Johnson County this year, so made this game a little easier to choose.

Very likely, but I would pay to see a Union vs. Belfry or Union vs. Johnson County (KY or TN for that matter) game. Or even Paintsville, if Paintsville is still as good as they were the last couple of years.

I plan on being there. :)

Not trying to understate the argument as Union did win both games and they're both good wins, but Morristown West only classifies as a 4A in Virginia and Letcher only classifies as a 3A in Virginia.

I can agree with this. 1B has 6 teams. 1A has 16 teams. I'm not very knowledgeable on where many of the 1A or even 1B schools are, but you would've thought they could have slipped in some of the more western 1A teams into 1B to make it more even. Something even more strange to me is that, at least from Bristol, I think you can be at Altavista (1B) faster than you can be Covington or Bath County (1C).

So, you're a Gate City fan and don't even know who your competition is in your classification and region? How is that possible? I wish we were 1A, sure would make getting to Salem in December a whole lot easier. Absolutely Riverheads would beat us by that margin, but boy I'd sure hate to see what they would do to Gate City.

Jenkins makes the playoffs every year by default because there are only so many 1A teams in their region/district whatever. And we all know how bad Jenkins is. So, I will use 1A Region B as an example. There are only 6 teams to begin with. Most likely, only 2 of those are going to be at or above .500 by season's end. All 6 are going to get in the playoffs, which includes a Cumberland team which very well could go 0-10. Riverheads and William Campbell will already be getting 1 bye as it is with the short field in their region. So, what is the solution, since only 2 teams are going to be .500 at the end of the season? Do we let only Riverheads and William Campbell in and give them 2 byes straight to the region championship game? Perhaps, but I believe both of those schools would not want the second bye. Maybe I'm wrong. But I think they would want to stay in game shape, have a tune up game, whatever, before playing each other.

Union Bluefield Graham Giles Abingdon Virginia High James Monroe Pulaski County Ridgeview Marion

I don't know anything about the West Virginia side except Bluefield, but the fact that UVAO and Bluefield Researcher have James Monroe in the top 10 is all I need to know about putting them in the top 10 as well. Union Bluefield Graham Giles Abingdon Virginia High James Monroe Pulaski County Ridgeview Marion

I would say the state championship game representatives in 1A and 2A will come from Region C out of the C/D semifinal.

Why do you have Abingdon in the top 5 AND receiving votes?

Looks like I missed 1 bonus point from you somewhere looking at the official ratings. So, now you are 4th and would play Appo in the first round if the season ended today. Lol
