Ole PJ and his trusty sidekick Casey sure do like going to Bullitt Park it seems like.

Center ok ( will be back what I've heard)

Exactly right ,,if wasn't for j king & colabro on board wouldn't have happened... Guess you might ask cental what foundation they had before & after 

I can’t believe I’m coming out of retirement for this, but, it’s time to set the record straight.  Kids during Coach Reed’s tenure did not like or respect him. They loved Coach Colobro and Coach Amburgey (who was the OC during those years). 
Have you noticed how many ex-players come back now to help and tutor?  Amburgey creates that kind of atmosphere. Reed never could. All the players that I know despise him

If you think Colobro wasn’t responsible for about 95% of what went on at Abingdon, you could probably run a drug empire based on what you’re smoking.

No just once that  becauseAbingdon went into bullet Park and was not supposed to win!!

I think what they are getting at is that the last year Coach Colobro and Amburgey were at Abingdon there was quite a bit of disagreement between Reed and the staff. Reed brought in Colobro and once there was success he wanted total control. Not allowing the OC and DC to do their jobs. Majority of the staff left and that's why the staff looked so different last year.
Numerous players didn't play last year because of the head coach. Many of those returned this year to play for Amburgey. 
You do the math
Far as I'm concerned. GC can hire whoever they want. If they feel he's their answer. Good for them. Abingdon has a coach players go the extra mile for. Fans love what he is doing for the program and community and I am good with that. 

This is great I'm definitely a Union homer. But this is a pure laughing matter Did Appalachia, Norton or Pound who were Division 1 back in the day complain about Powell Valley Coeburn and Clintwood being in the LPD while being Dividion 2 Nope just went out there and played. So this argument is a mute point. Yes Union had 7 turnovers Friday nite but last time I checked abingdon played in the same conditions quit crying about it. We got whooped by a better team it shows we have a lackluster weight program plus our lack of depth and most importantly our will to WIN. 

Reed wouldn't be Right

Welcome to the board.  In '97, Gate City was in the Highlands district. They didn't rejoin the LPD until they dropped back down to A-Div 2 in 2000 I think.
I thought Dinwiddie was 4A. That's were they are listed on the master schedule and weekly ratings.

I certainly hope this was sarcasm.  It definitely isn't credit to Reed.  If he had still been here there would've only been about 30 kids out for football and their record would've been abysmal.  More than likely they would have been 2-6 at this point hoping to beat Lee and possibly be the 8 seed if they were lucky.
The credit here goes to Coach Amburgey. He has a staff and players who would run through a wall for him.  From day one he has empowered his assistants, players, senior leadership, even down to the equipment managers and trainers.  He has embraced/energized the school and the fan base like I haven't seen since he and Coach Colobro coached at Abingdon.  I was shocked this past summer to see how many kids came back to football when he was announced as the head coach.  It went from 30 some to 70 some in no time.  There is a reason for that.
Keep in mind, he knows nobody was/is giving them a shot at anything.  He's OK with that.  He just uses it to fire up his players.  He is fine being the underdog.  His players love him and the thing that gets said most is they are having fun.  Not just on Friday nights but fun practicing, fun doing team activities, fun watching and breaking down film. 
So just to be clear. The only thing true in the quote is Yes "Abingdon is big and strong" and "short time" 

Comparing VHS to Union's schedule isn't a contest.  I think the fact that Morristown West is a 6A school is why some may imply that was an impressive win.  They aren't good at all this season and you can't say just because they're 6A means that they are better than most.  TN High is better than them.  Graham is better than LCC and Chilhowie is better than Burton.

Listen, Abingdon is big and strong............ right now!!  This is all Darren Reed's doing.  They are still benefiting from his short time there.

Abingdon does not have a 500 student special Ed program..I know that for a fact. So I'm not buying it either. Union and Ridgeview lost, so I think it's time to get over it and quit making excuses. 

Just for the record RV’s loss to Abingdon was a glaring example of what I think the Packs two biggest weaknesses are. 1st play calling is usually awful and was that night too. 2nd the weight program is laughable, although it was better this year. This game was won and lost in the weight room long before the teams ever took the field. Big and tough is usually earned, so good for them.  They earned. I hope the kids enjoy it, and that’s not sarcasm. 

Finally I can say it. 
Keep sleeping on Abingdon. You'll get your feelings hurt. 
The only thing that the Falcons have done week in and week out has made believers out of people. So keep doubting them. This is a team that is peaking at the best time of the year. 

Abingdon does NOT "play down", they are in a "mixed" conference, like a LOT of other schools in Va.  Maybe you should go to 3A Christainsburg, where 2/3rds of their district foes are 4A or 5A.
They are NOT "allowed" to win a title - they have to earn it just like any school, in any sport.
Winning a district tite has NOTHING to do with making the playoffs anymore... hasn't in who knows how long. (Maybe it does in the 'minor' sports - I don't know.)
