Next year, you all will go down.  I didn't join the board till a few weeks ago, so that's the only reason sixcat didn't crumble this year.  :D

I'm not just going to beat everyone on here... I'm winning that million for picking all winners correctly...
 
Not....

It will be a successful season for me if they beat Tennessee and Tennessee only next season.  My hatred for the Vols can not be quantified.

Your fellow Haysi boy (me) is making the trip.  I'll be channeling my inner James Colley and will be wearing shorts.  :D
 
My buddy from Coeburn is meeting me in Abingdon and riding up with me.

I bowled last night.  I scored a 113.  Don't be hatin... Lol.

I think fans everywhere criticize coaching, whether it's another team or whether it's their own.
 
Section of crowd I sat in at Wytheville Saturday were getting all hostile with GW's coach for not throwing the ball, or when they did throw the ball, they wanted that screen pass to be a deep ball.
 
People that used to wear red were calling for Rick Mullins' firing about halftime of the Wise Central game in week 2.  My Facebook timeline lit up... Lol.
 
Obviously things got much better as the season progressed and things quieted down... I'm from Haysi, and I can't criticize.  Even though Colley had the offensive mastermind, it's Mullins who has a ring.
 
I think I seen another thread on here where fans criticize their own team (Giles maybe?).  Like I said, I think it happens everywhere.  Haters gonna hate when adversity rears its ugly head, but they'll be your best bud when things are peachy keen.
 
If Richlands had beaten Appomattox, I'm sure Mr. 4A would have been like... "Boy, I sure wished I worked for coach Mance, cause he's so cool..."
 
My two cents about the original topic.  As far as golf goes, I once hit a hole in one on a putt putt course.  :D

P Wade made the covered wagon trip over Big A, through the thickets of Swords Creek and is now coaching at Richlands.

We would very much welcome him.  Maybe with a new head coach coming in at Wise, he would be utilized to the best of his abilities as well.  :-)

Thank you.. We may keep my son in SWVA. Possibility he may play at UVA-Wise.

The Haysi/Essex game was moved to KWHS. Great facility but the stands are far from the field, much like Ridgeviews setup. From what I understand there is a heated rivalry between EHS and KWHS, I know the field was painted up in KW colors and had a KW on the 50 for the HHS/EHS game. Haysi did not request that the game be moved, that was the VHSL responding to complaints from 2013 for the FC game. Personally I think Essex should have been allowed to host at their field, they earned that right. That being said Haysi had around 1,500 fans at that game and the Essex visitor section wouldn't have held half that. As much as I feel they should have been able to host if I would have had to stood by the fence I would have been pretty upset.
 
If they are gonna have this type of success then they need to upgrade their facilities but its my understanding that $ is tight and they don't have fan/community support like we do here in SWVA.
 
Not having enough bathroom facilities and not having bathroom facilities are very different things. Idk that they have bathrooms at their home site, just port-a-johns  Most of the games over that way are played before crowds of 300-400, not 2000+. Essex had 80 fans(many showed up after halftime, Haysi had 1,000 90 minutes before the game started). They simply aren't used to that type of turnout. Hard to justify upgrades for 1 game a year that isint guaranteed. Easier and more cost efficient to just play at a neighboring school.
 
If Galax doesn't bring any more fans than they did to Norton Saturday then Essexs home field will probably be sufficient.

I thought I saw it posted somewhere on here that it started at 1:30.

Steve Honaker's crew...'nuff said..

As a guy who writes blogs making 2A picks each week... I'll be glad to take a stab at this.
 
Richlands 28 Appomattox 20 (Richlands is my new favortie team now that Ridgeview is out, and really hope they beat Appomattox worse than this since the Raiders have talked LOTS of smack on Twitter)
Union 28 Glenvar 24 (My dream of seeing a Richlands/Union state title game in Salem stays alive with a Bears win here)
Abingdon 21 Lord Botetourt 20 (Falcons beat Northside who beat LB, the Cinderella run for Abingdon continues)
Radford 48 George Wythe 35 (Bobcats laid the smack down on GW in the season opener, and though GW has improved leaps and bounds since then, Radford is still the better team)
Galax 42 Burton 20 (Coach Dixon of Galax is a class act which is a whole lot more than I can say about crybaby Jimbo... if Burton and GW win, wonder if Jimbo will try to get Essex to move the game to UVA-Wise?)
