May just be what it is, just a big rumor. Cousin Claude works over in Kudzu County and told us that someone mentioned that a SWD Football Coach was thinking about resigning. We’re not going to start or spread any rumors by mentioning a name or school, however, has anyone else heard such a story? Uncle Percy always says, “A rumor is just like a Poison Ivy Rash, if you scratch it, it keeps spreading”.
For the unknowing, Kudzu County is Buchanan County. From the top of Shortt’s Gap to the Kentucky State Line, Kudzu is everywhere.
Gage Sawyers of Graham gets offer from E & H. One of the best athletes on Graham squad this year.
Why would he want to go to Ellen & Helen? Has 3 options, Bluefield U., Concord, Bluefield State, in his backyard plus UVA-Wise. Could even try a walk on at ETSU. Ellen & Helen, always been tooooo snobbish, ever hear of a place called “Abington” and now getting too politically correct according to some grads.
LWC sounds just like several of the experts on the football forum. One question for you LWC, “If you know so much about basketball, why didn’t the School Board hire you”?

If your going to have the guts to mention it have the guts to put some names to it. Otherwise it's just noise. And I don't believe it.
I guess we’ll have to wait and see if it happens. However, Cousin Claude was telling us about this a few weeks ago and he lives 3 counties away from The Hokiebird7. You remember that old story about where there’s smoke.
Umm you are going to have to help me understand. I never once mentioned Grundy in my comments , so not sure what you are on about or on period!! I was speaking about Essex coaches. As far Rural retreat and Chilhowie again I am lost. So there that!
You made a very rude comment about the Grundy coaches. Then again, being obnoxious, rude, and arrogant are common traits by certain schools and people along I-81 from Abingdon to Salem. This has been observed and noticed for years, especially in Wythe County and Washington County. Some of the comments made by people from Rural Retreat and Chilhowie this fall when a certain school requested to join the Hogoheegee were just plain rude and uncalled for. I can think of a few better terms to describe you and this, however, if I use them Mr. G-Man would probably kick my “ar$e” off here and I couldn’t follow Cousin Liam.
Didn’t think I would ever be saying this statement about GW but Riverheads will be facing a better coaching staff next week in Salem against GW than they did today. Lol
Well since you know so much football and are such a good judge of coaches and players, I have one simple, easy question. Why are you not the Head Coach at George Wythe? I guess if you were the Head Coach, George Wythe would be going for their seventh consecutive State Football Championship instead of Riverheads. Well, is that so?
Say the VHSL mandated that week 8 of each season, be every schools bye week. On that week, any team that had a game cancelled on them, or have one coming up, should have no problem finding a replacement game. What say you?
No. Only thing that’s going to end it is strict and financial penalties that must be strictly enforced. Also, may have to fire a few Principals, ADs, Coaches, and maybe add a Superintendent or two to that.
You want to put a stop to it, put a monetary clause for forfeitures into a signed contract. If you lose a home game, forfeiture fee - $4000. Lose an away game, forfeiture fee - $2000. If you can find a replacement game for a forfeit, you would still receive a forfeiture fee of $1000. This Friday, Giles receives $2000, 11-4 George Wythe receives $4000. If forfeiture fees are not paid (District & Non-District), then none of that school’s teams can compete in winter and spring district competitions thus eliminating them from Regional and State competition. Harsh, NO, means that ADs and Coaches are going to have to work harder to field a team, especially in the offseason.
Should be Winter and Spring District Tournament not competition.

1996, afraid to play Grundy @ Grundy in State Semis. You people should have heard some of the lame excuses they used in getting the VHSL to move the game. Played at Tazewell. Field conditions, they were better at Grundy with a lot less wind. You want some Legends? How about these gentlemen, Cummins, Riggs, Fry, Joyce (Andrew Lewis) and probably one of Mr. Researcher’s favorites, Gainer (Big Creek & Bluefield, WV). White, not on my list.
Uncle Percy
By the way, Joyce wasn’t afraid to come to Grundy. State powerhouse Jefferson Sr., E.C. Glass, William Fleming, and Patrick Henry-Roanoke were not afraid to come to Vansant Ballpark or County Stadium to play. “Legend” White was.

Galax is right there with em. Come playoff time, the Maroon Tide are going to be battle tested with the likes of Graham and Radford and some other tough class 1 schools. If all things are equal (and they are pretty close on the field this year) Galax has the more difficult schedule advantage in my opinion, and they have been there and done that. If both teams get that far, you and I both know Grundy has its hands full (as does Galax).
Right now, the website on the left coast has it at 31-21 Galax over Grundy.
PH and George Wythe are good. George Wythe is not at full strength and wasn't at full strength against Graham or Grundy. You could see a state semifinal game possibly that has George Wythe vs PH in it.
Uh. Grundy wasn’t at full strength either when they played George Wythe.
