3 that I have heard, not sure how long

Chilhowie is quickly turning into a Richlands, Graham, or Union type program in 1a for this side of the state.-- lol two years of success past the district level does not make you a Richlands and Union. Let's be honest here. Do you really think your kids are more supported by your community than PH, Marion or GW? 
 I get having pride in your program. But your not there just yet. 

Point taken, absolutely not every fan. My apologies for lumping all fans together. It's a shame the disgruntled were most vocal. I even had people that I know personally and are friends with on FB who for all practical purposes are good, rational folks , post crazy ridiculousness. To be honest, every team has "those" types of fans. 

I just found out that coach Dixon from Galax lost his father Friday night before the game!! Wow, I am amazed that the man could pull himself together to be at the game. Between this news and his interview with Coalfield last week, my respect for him went way up. Prayers for him and his family.

Searched Chilhowie Football Field on Facebook. They should be embarrassed! Blaming Galax accusing VHSL of showing favoritism to visiting team. Everyone will remember their pettiness and whining over a game they could have won just as easily at E & H. I still want them to bring 1A title home to SWVA especially for their players but their fan base is as you said ridiculous! 

I fear no one son.  I may walk through the valley of the shadow of death, but I fear no keyboard warrior.  😄

Truthfully that's not bad strategy. The officials won't call it every play and if you're afraid the WRs will burn you deep,.you'll be way more physical and dare the officials to call it a every play. Maybe not the most honest strategy but it's extremely tactical.

Galax may not have played their best game yesterday or was good yesterday although anyone who watched the game will tell you they have talent. Their D line was very, very good. If anything yesterday shows you Chilhowie is legit. In 5 out of 5 games are they 3 TDs better than Galax-No. Although Chilhowie is not a fluke, good enough to beat Riverheads? We will see. But to say that Galax is not Good shows you are  either trolling or do not know football. 

Another newb to the board who's going to "educate" us on good football... 
Welcome to the Thunder Dome lil guy, good luck.

The story coming out of the roanoke press rumor mill is the reason that the vhsl changed their minds, the first people that was sent first was from local schools. I don't know which. After a couple of PH fans contacted them about the game the next day  they decided to send someone from Charlottesville to look at it and they decided that it was unfit. If they moved it like the others because of safety and game sconditions they should have left at Emory and not cave because a politician through his weight around.

I hate it for those boys; I would love to see them (CHS) achieve something that most of us dreamed about as players but the adults have made this such a mess for them. Hopefully both teams come out without injuries and may the best team win. 

That's what most are overlooking. The players themselves could care less where they play at. The kids aren't the ones that made the calls or whined about going to Emory. So of course they may have some concerns or a bit of nerves but what young player wouldn't. But they aren't afraid or worried, they are confident in their skills and they know they can play great ball. It's people that don't play making a big deal out of the move. 

You should see the Facebook messages we've gotten on the WCYB Facebook page in the last 2 days......it's insane. 

Everyone who had Northwood hosting a state semifinal in the preseason, come collect your money.

VHSL should have stood their ground. What dumb decision! The audacity of a politician to step in a situation involving high school playoff venue is ridiculous. Good luck to both teams, not thinking Chilhowie bettered themselves any with this venue change and the they look like a bunch of cry babies, no offense to those Warriors who weren't cry babies. 

The fact that a delegate can throw his weight around to get a reversal of a game is just crazy.  

Yes this throws all my reason for wanting it to be home out the window.

Roanoke Times trolling this fiasco!  

I wouldn't stress too much about it. The VHSL has another 24 hours to change their minds again. 

What a complete joke and major distraction for those kids from Chilhowie.  Galax has to have all of the motivation in the world now.  Chilhowie fans, staff, and administration are acting like moving a game from a muddy field to a college stadium with wonderful facilities to a field with sinkholes and giant rocks in the corner of the end zone with pine trees two feet from the pylons is a great idea.  Also why did they go practice at Emory & Henry?  I smell ego city because VHSL moved it to Emory without consulting with them first.  I hope all that complained are happy with the outcome.  I hate it for those kids especially the seniors.  Reminds me of Tennessee trying to hire Greg Schiano lol!   

Look I understand your and their concerns and disappointment.  Although the post I have seen in social media this morning about calling Galax a bunch #$$##0because they didn't want to play in the mud and they are the reason it got moved is petty and simply not the case. That's not how the VHSL works, three games got moved. I think the surrounding areas would be more simpathetic to the communities complaints if all that was not being spewed all over social media. Galax had no say in it, the school admins no this to be true yet they continue to let their community think this is the case. Look Galax beat us twice this year and I am all for Chilhowie getting the win, although people saying what they are social media is just making Chilhowie look bad. To be honest it is placing an ugly blemish on what is a stellar moment  for your community. I completely get the financial impact to the community, I heard Galax had went out and spent a couple of thousand dollars on new cleats for their players just for this game. 
 I am sure their is people on here from Chilhowies administration reading this, so step up and ensure the misplaced anger at the fans of Galax is placed where it should be on the VHSL.  
 Sorry rant over and good luck.
