SXSW

I thought a lot of the schools up that way had turf anyway. Hmmm!!

Devils 42-28.

As far as Abingdon playing Sullivan County schools Sullivan North's numbers are around 500, and South's in the 700 range, when combined in 2019 they will be 5A. (6A is going away in the new classification) North and South and Central will all stay in there current classification. I don't know if Abingdon would benefit from playing Sullivan County schools but like as posted before Tennessee High and DB would make a place for them. I don't know why Abingdon hasn't tried to schedule Elizabethton or Boone or Crockett easy trips win or lose your gonna get a bunch of points, Heck a trip to Morristown is closer than some of the other AAA in Virginia.

I can't believe you went there West12aaa, really, that's all you bringin'

Why all the Lee hatred SuperX, Union has owned this series, I don't hear the Lee fans on here talking smack. Of course Lee is on a high horse, their General would look kind of ridiculous on one of those "little horses " riding around wouldn't he. I wanna pick Lee but my mind is stronger than my heart. Union by 10.

I really believe this is a coin flip, so I flipped a coin and Battle won, it was tails. In modern football everything goes through the quarterback and if Mullins can't play Central can't win!

I would like to congratulate the Graham G-Men on an awesome win against a really good team, I know as fans the Graham faithful have had to endure years of mediocre football by their standards, so welcome back and I hope you win many more big games in the future. Their at one time was a big five in Southwest Va. ( Gate City, Powell Valley, Appalachia, Graham, and Richlands) I hope Graham can return to their on time excellence.

Questioning Stripes or any other official's integrity is not something Hurley or any other fan base needs to do. It just goes to show how ignorant some people really are.

I don't think that Hurley is looking for a game, I think that they are looking for someone to play and blow out to make themselves look good. There are teams that would be more than happy to play you if you would just grow a pair and play them. Till you man up and play up just shut up!

Two suggestions: Call Sullivan North in Kingsport or get one of your conference members to double up with you and just count one of them as a conference game, Cloudland has had to that a few times to get a tenth game. Call Union or Lee or Wise Central it will help you long term, playing up never hurts anyone.

Two or three stops on defense and you never know, I didn't say "would have" I said "could have" listen and read before you type, and as with most Union fans you all are suppose to win every game against anybody, including Alabama if they wouldn't be scared to play you.

A lot of GC fan's, especially the friends and family of the Houserights, are still pissed that Jeremy didn't get the head coaching job. He has proven one thing this year and that he is clueless a DC, If GC could be 3-2 right now instead of 0-5. I think that CCA has employed an "old trick" my bosses use to do to a worker they wanted rid of, instead of just firing them they just gave them enough rope to hang themselves, riding the management of the uncomfortable responsibility of firing them. I think that until there is major turnover in the coaching staff there will be major problem's. I hope Coach Akers sticks around to see the process through and outlast the "vocal minority" because the vast majority of GC fan's knew that it was time for a change.

The streak will be over, CCA get's his first of many wins at Gate City.

Patrick Henry still plays football, they have been irrelevant about a long as Notre Dame has been in NCAA football.

My son started in eighth grade back when he played. I wouldn't think you would want to start any earlier than that.

Richlands 69-20.

I would expect maybe a handful from North and maybe one or two from South, my boss who lives at Eastern Star is sending his two sons ( BB players) to DB, he is moving them in January, both in middle school. I was told that the construction may not start now until middle of next year and would push the opening to 2020 or later.

In my deep explorations of the Southwest U.S. ( Arizona in particular ) the Apache had a sacred place that was roughly translated "the finger of God" it was a mesa with one large straight rock pointing to the heavens, anyway, legend goes, that to even think about lying or being disrespectful meant being killed on the spot and the elders or the Chief just had to think you were being disrespectful for them to order your punishment, so think before you type and remember G-Man is watching.

I think if I were Marion I would kick a couple of kids out and get them off that number. It's now wonder athletics struggle at Marion if you have 666 students. (that sends Chills down my spine)

As clique as DB is I don't think they would welcome any new players from North, now South players at DB would probably work since both have basically the same attitude, except fro the city limits sign those two fan bases and players are identical.

That escalated in a hurry and ended just as fast. Long live the rule of law, what G-Man says is the law, is the law! I still don't think the kid has any idea what he did.

I know that GC will receive at least three because my sister who lives in Rock Springs is moving her three, but the consolation isn't until 2019 at the earliest and the GC being 3A is just wishful thinking from a Union fan. I think as the population shifts that what GC gains will take the place of the families that have to move out. By the time this occurs the cutoff number may increase, who knows with the VHSL. I personally don't think that Scott County will ever consolidate because it is just to big geographically. A GC-RC combo is more doable than a GC-TS combo. I am for building a football field over at Midway somewhere for all three schools to use that would solve all the stadium issues at GC and give RC and TS a nice place to play.

The only reason Union would claim titles they didn't win would be to make them feel good about themselves and until they win (or if they ever win) one, that is all they have, a feeling of history! I don't know if Union will ever win a State Title in football, the competition is stacked against any team from S.W Va. (the talent level in Eastern Va. is insane) but when they do it will their first. It is like in college all these teams have all these "mystical" championships, I guess Sir Elton John was right when he sang "What ever gets you through the night"

I would love have all Coach Smith's notes and records to compile and complete. I would be more than Happy to add all those stats up. Mr. Smith was my favorite teacher of all time and do finish that work would be an honor.

I think that football has evolved to where it's all about the QB. There was a day and time, not so long ago, that the QB never had to anything other than hand the ball off and not turn it over. With the spread system, it puts your best athletes in space and the QB has taken the place on most plays of the RB and it has been that part of the game that has passed most of the program's in SW Va. by. Until recently the QB position here just didn't get developed the way it is now. But every school now that is competitive has a good to great QB or knows how to develop one. I think Richlands got ahead of the curve on that and that's what holds Union back, and Abingdon has a special QB and have been very successful. Gate City and Wise Central have good QB's too, but haven't developed the team's around them. If you brought the old coaches back from the beyond, that used to prowl the sidelines of SW Va. I don't know if they would like football now, let alone want to coach it, but things change don't they!
