If Union beats Abingdon and Battle they are the 1 seed

I apologize, I started crap without meaning to start crap. I am just a big 1A fan and beating down the little schools for the schedule they play based on location and size is stupid. 

i Understand the jabs started when coachT made the comment about Gate City, but UVAobserver starting his bashing about weak schedules and downing a small Thomas Walker was what I was questioning.

No one trying to push drama at all, just wondering

I thought you and UVAobserver were both Gate City, so I pologize for the jabs at Gate City

Gate City 20

John Battle 14

All those are valid arguments, and I see your point with the BDD schools. Chilhowie plays a tough schedule, but they have 400 kids which is a big plus. Patrick Henry plays Chilhowie and John Battle, and this year Honaker is improved, but they don’t play a tough schedule. Twin Springs is last in points without a win and plays one of the toughest schedules of any small school and you see what happens. Holston, Northwood, Hurley, Twin Valley, Castlewood, Eastside, Thomas Walker, Rye Cove all play week schedules becuase they are small schools, they should be playing other small schools. It is a toss up how the teams each school plays is gonna be. One cycle they might win 8 games the next 2, you don’t know that when you schedule.

I guess my question is why are Gate City fans bashing little schools for their schedule when most region d teams do it too? Thomas Walker isn’t a world beater, but who said they were. If they win 7 or 8 games and win 1 playoff game that is great for any school that size, and it is a start. It happened a few years ago when Hurley was good, same group bashing them when they were winning because of schedule. I don’t see anyone in the BDD or Cumberland or anyone not named Chilhowie winning state, so why hate on small schools all the time, just be happy for these guys when they do good. 

Who should these schools be scheduling? Bluefield, Daniel Boone, Tennessee High, should they play Union or Richlands or Graham and take a beating just to say they played someone bigger. 

Gate City needs to realize there aren’t any Houserights, Beasley’s, Humphrey’s, Spivey’s, or Collier’s coming through anytime soon so you might want to drop about 4 teams and pick up some wins to build that program back up.

What Single A school schedules to excel? Every team in Region D plays cupcake schedules.
