Wow, that's a lot of kids for DB

Kingsport is growing fairly quickly. The 2010 census had them at 48,205. 2020 at about 55,442. 
 

No surprise that DB enrollment would increase.

The Botetourt v Dobyns-Bennett game is going to be played at E&H tomorrow, according to our grandson, who plays for D-B.

Wow. DB actually having anything to do with a Virginia team half their size?

That’s a shocker.

If I remember correctly most of the Union guys on here had said they didn't lose much to graduation either. So if that's the case that game at Mitchell Stadium should be a good one. Unless Union lost some key players I still have to give them the advantage.

If I'm coach Palmer I would put a big screen TV in every room of the field house and play that last play of the playoffs on a continuous loop. I have talked to many former and current Graham players and that play has really left a sore taste in their mouth. 

That’s how a few Union/Richlands games have gone. 

Union or Graham

Given that 8 of 11 teams in Region 2D will make the playoffs, at least getting to the 8-seed is not impossible if Lee can notch 3 wins.  At least two of Virginia High, Marion, Lee, Battle, and Gate City are going to qualify for the playoffs.  

I have seen 1A teams make it with 3-7 records. Appalachia made it at 3-7 in 1998.
 

That was when district champs got priority seeding. Rye Cove, as the only Region D Division 1 football team to win their District Regular Season Title, was first seed. They were 9-1, so likely would have been 1st seed even if they didn’t win the Cumberland District as the rest were Burton (5-5), Twin Springs (4-6), and Appalachia (3-7). 
 

Rye Cove was one and done, losing to Appalachia 35-18. Rye Cove had a very weak schedule. Appalachia, while VERY WEAK, did have a bit of a tough schedule. They had Powell Valley (98 PV team, enough said), a pretty tough and stout Lee team who played PV closest that season out of anybody and still lost, a young but very good Clintwood team who lost only to PV (49-20 reg season, 27-14 playoffs), a Sullivan North team who went 8-2 and lost first round, Lebanon who won the Highlands.

Against union never.  Unless you wanna count the fail mary game.

I mean won a game at all. I know they’ve never officially beaten Union. I know how they have usually fared against the U.

I don't know I think Union can hang in there longer than that Lol

When is the last time Lee High won a game?
