    I just took the time to read your thread, @RichlandsAlum. 
    It's so refreshing to have a parent who has a realistic view of their kid's athletic potential at the college level.  
    Kudos to you for helping him make HIS decision.
    The future is bright for your son.  Nice job, Dad!

    People from Marion should choose to go to Chilhowie, so they'd have a better shot at a state championship.  :D

    I think the real MVP is "vhsl.org".  The beauty and functionality of that website is amazing.

    Mitchell was 1st team. They weirdly put the PR on the defense and KR on offense.

    Taymon Cooke was 2nd team KR, and I would give him that nod simply because his punt return against Marion likely won Graham the SWD championship.

    The best team I saw in person this year was Northwood; however, I don't get out much.

    I have spent time in virtually every corner of Virginia, both professionally and socially.  The lack of awareness by many outside SWVA concerning anything involving SWVA is astounding.  I've said it before, folks in other parts of the state will send their kids to Virginia Tech but never bother to explore the communities southwest of Blacksburg.  Hence, the feeling in SWVA that most Virginians not from SWVA believe the state stops at Exit 118 along I-77.  I once had a coworker argue and ultimately lose a bet to me that Oak Hill Academy was located in Tennessee.  He couldn't fathom anything in Virginia being south or west of Blacksburg. 
    Just this Monday, a "headhunter" contacted me on Linkedin, gauging my interest in a career move to the Norfolk area.  I politely told her I live well over 300 miles from Norfolk and that's as close as I will ever live to Norfolk!  She couldn't understand why "anyone would chose to live in that part of Virginia who had options".  The quoted text is taken directly from her email to me.  She was dumbfounded that I would chose to stay in "that part of Virginia", meaning SWVA, when I had opportunities in Norfolk.  In my mind, this clearly shows a bias the rest of the state harbors toward SWVA.  And many have never even been to SWVA!
    So, it should be no surprise that anyone from "Central VA all day" can't have an objective and unbiased opinion of our little slice of heaven!  SWVA respects one another in a way other parts of Virginia cannot understand.  When our school is knocked out of the playoffs, we show up in droves to support our neighbors in their quest to reach "states".  What a bunch of hillbilly rednecks we must be to support our neighbors!  But it's this mindset that makes living and raising children in SWVA so rewarding.  We can have pride in our community and show similar pride and support for a neighboring community without our community believing us to be disloyal.  We may fuss among ourselves from time to time but when push comes to shove, we have each others backs.  
    I'll step down from my soapbox now!
