great state

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?

Graham most likely has Tazewell on 9/2 right? If so, with Richlands playing Union that day then Graham should benefit greatly from that short week.

Losing to Mendenhall in Blacksburg would be a lovely "reboot".

I agree with his concern that the sports were all using their own fonts and stuff. I like that it will all be central now and all of our teams will look the same.
 
I think we see the throwback jersey at Bristol, IMO. They are defiantly using black and grey as the "secondary palate" as the article said. Intersted to see what the do there.

Better candidate? Absolutely.
Better leader? Definitely not.

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

....and she is still a better candidate than Donald Trump!  
 
Doesn't speak highly of our current political landscape at the highest levels, huh?

I think from a Tweet I saw from Babcock was that there was concern about the amount of creep there had been in logos, designs and fonts.  This brings things back to a single unified look.  He did not that they had licensed the old style VT, and mentioned that the original colors were black and gray.  He could be hinting at a throwback look.

For anyone not busy Sat we will be doing FCA Hogoheegee versus Cumberland District Basketball game tom at 4pm at Eastside. Coach Chad Bailey of Marion and Coach Matt Snodgass of Chilhowie coaching the Hogo team. Great coaches. Free Admission to all students. Snow ought to be moving out in the morning. We have had rain , snow and then more rain here at Wise tonight.

Virginia Tech released the new brand identity today. Looks AMAZING!! I love that all the teams will use the same fonts and colors as opposed to what it had become.

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

Whit has said in a few interviews that VT will have a brand reboot next year. This seems to fall into that category, with a new font to go on everything as we reboot the athletics dept. 

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.

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. 

Yea Honaker didnt lose much at all off of the semifinal team from last year. It should be another deep run for the tigers in 1a

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
 
 

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.

The article lists him as "player 1A"...
 
 
Ironically, he isn't listed in their Class of 2018 Top 35...

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.

Congrats to the Marion girls Volleyball team...

No idea. Some sort of camp that was held recently at VA Tech....I believe.  I found it on Mac's Mother's FB Page. Thought some might find it interesting. Maybe not. 
 
Google tells me that: "The Virginia Top 80 is the most prestigious showcase camp in the state. In this annually held camp, we utilize scouts, coaches, and programs to help us identify the 80 best players Virginia has to offer. Virginia is traditionally a basketball hotbed, and that tradition is not slowing down anytime soon."
 
NO idea if any of that is true. Again.........just sharing. 

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