And they took the 3B from Lebanon too.  

Congrats Marion girls!  Great job,  My great neice is on that team.

Point Pleasant only had nine games this season.

That is the Saturday of VT/UT in Bristol. Smart move playing on Thursday lol.

Capital and Beckley were scheduled to play several weeks ago, but from what I understand the conference (MSAC) forgot to schedule any officials. So the teams arrived to play, but the officials did not and the game was not rescheduled.

I have this so far:
 
NARROWS
9/9 (H) Montcalm
 
TWIN VALLEY
9/2 (H) Montcalm
10/21 (H) Rye Cove
11/4 (A) Hurley
 
BLAND
9/30 (H) Montcalm
 
GRAHAM
8/26 (H) Bluefield
9/2 (A) Tazewell
9/8 (H) Richlands
9/23 (A) Giles
9/30 (H) Abingdon
 
GRUNDY
9/2 (A) Riverview
10/7 (A) Hurley
10/14 (H) Richlands
 
HURLEY
9/2 (A) Eastside
9/16 (A) Castlewood
9/23 (A) Montcalm
10/7 (H) Grundy
10/21 (A) Twin Springs
11/4 (H) Twin Valley
 
 

I'm not trying to start any rumors or speculation, but I've heard minor rumors of Hurley's RB who rushed for 2400 yards and 35TD's last year may be looking to transfer. Anyone know of this?

Major congratulations to Graham High Coach Tim Woodward, a great performance in the states.  One state champion...  Really brought the program up from nothing.

Regardless of tomorrow nights outcome, GMan has won this years bracket challenge!! Congrats to him and thanks to all who played this year.
 
Up next: football pick'em!!

Why the Thursday night game? I assume Beaver will have Mitchell on Friday but I would think that the Graham game is still good enough to have on a Saturday night.

Often times, localities, universities, companies and even high schools will have a preferred company for supplying specific items.  That is usually found in the technical specifications of a project and will often be slightly different than what you see in renderings.  
 
Plus, its an architects job to make it look pretty.  It's an engineers job to make it work. 

Congrats to both Grundy and Rural Retreat!!! Both programs are doing really well and representing SWVA.  We had several individual state champs and state placers from our area.  A great weekend for a sport that gets very little recognition.

Im ready for some baseball, our schools game was cancelled today but im sure theres some games that got played today, any scores anybody would like to share?

VT released a press release today regarding updating the Merriman Center and all of the wording in th renderings have a new look font. What do you guys think of it? I like it.

Interesting in AAA, that I see three teams that finished with 9 games.  Capital (9-0), Point Pleasant (9-0), and Woodrow Wilson (6-3).  That was the problem that Bluefield used to have, having a hard time getting 10 games.
 
So, #3 Bluefield will play #14 Ravenswood at home.  What I am curious about is how good Bridgeport and Frankfort are...

I may live in Big Stone, well not exactly in Big Stone more closer to Norton in a split foyer inside the BSG city limits.
I realize people may not like what I post on here but I calls it as I sees it and I also hears it.
Wow! And has I been hearing it! I happen to be a person in Wise County who knows a few people who are friends "on the inside" of the inner circle of some of the Gate City "elite" as he calls them.
I think these people must be like what the shadow government is like to our own political system? That's another story though. (Go Trump!!)
The big news I am hearing from the Elitist be that GC didn't have any person man or woman good enough experienced enough or that they trust enough to coach the Devil program from the inside.
Now the plan is to try and bring in a certain DB coach over to the real football state out of retirement and put him in the same position he held with DB in Kingsport.
Maybe he can bring over some of those Kingsport recruits as well and help GC become good enough to actually try and beat us for a change. Seems like those GC people can finally see the writing on the wall.
We, Union, are going to be around for a while and they want someone who has the capability to beat us.
I know other people from Big Stone who have close dealings and work in Scott County and have friends there. Not "elitist" friends though. Common peasants friends is all.
They had not heard anything as of yet so I know this person knows whats up.
Whoever your applicants are I think GC has this job in GC.
If it is for sure, then welcome Coach C to SWVa football and the Union BEARS.
We welcome the uh.... Challenge. We hope you do because you are in for one.
 
As a spectator I think the GC coach has some major obstacles and here is what I see that has to happen:
 
1) Play people you can beat. Union does and it doesn't hurt us one beat. Gate City isn't the Dallas Cowboys. Wait bad example. They do not beat anyone either. You get my picture though.
 
2) Energize your fan base.
BEST FANS in SWVA
A. Tie Union and Richlands
B. Gate City fans have about as much energy at a football game as Powell Valley Memorial Gardens does at midnight. Idk. That place may actually have more.
 
Whoever gets your program good luck to them. Beware though new HC at GC. The fans are only great when when you win a state championship. They are not even close to happy when you just win a region championship. They are very upset when you just win a conference championship. Very angry if you just win 6 games. Ready to tar and feather you if.you win 5 or less.
Points wise:
They yell and scream when you are winning by 40. They sit on their hands win you are winning by 20. They criticize you if you are winning by 10 or less. They start cussing you if it's a tie game. They look to slash your tires and buat out your windshields if you lose. Then they go to church on Sunday and praise Jesus!
Yes! See?? I DO know people who know the ELITIST in GC.
Good luck coach! You are going to need it!

great state

Still hasn't mention the US military members murdered by a terrorist this past week. With that being said she has found the time to tweet about women's equality, Nelson Mandela, beer koozies, and Rahmadan.

Pics!

For those of you who may be coming, I am the drummer for Jake, Milady. We play at 5. You should come say hello!!

I agree it is too much money. Great series in terms of teams, fans, and overall product on the field. Too good to let go. But it was alsmot dropped last cycle.

WTF is VATop80 and WTF is Phenom Hoops Report???
 
Never heard of any of that garb...
