Saw the video. Brutal and kind of arrogant.

Ah. Yes. Been there. Close to Virginia Beach. Rough area. I was thinking of the Hampton in Carter County. Very good program.

Are you talking about a different Hampton than the one I’m thinking of?

Welcome all high school football fans. As you don’t actually play the game, just watch. Athletes and coaches are the only ones who matter in the end. We are fans who are watching.

Quite frankly that is a twisted way to think about it. If the city owns the stadium and you all just rent it, then you all don’t get a say. Get over it.

The way I see it, Graham may pay a bundle to use it every season. But I didn’t see the harm in—who’s the town? Bluefield?—allowing this team to use it for ONE evening to practice on. From the looks of things it doesn’t appear to have given this Appomattox County TOO much an advantage. I’ve seen videos of both teams this year. Both have speed. Appomattox County has more discipline. Don’t be surprised if some key penalties will decide the outcome.

I think Appomattox has a good chance. If Graham can stop with the holding and senseless penalties then they win. If not then Appomattox may make them regret it. Flags can kill you if you get too many. It’s part of the game.

It can cost a team a state championship.

I say this as a neutral observer: Both programs need to get that fixed if it’s such a problem. Those holding penalties will do nobody a bit of good.

What’s with the Stick it In chants?

People in Virginia Beach are jerks. I’ve had bad experiences with them. Having said that, take a look at Kempsville’s recent program history. They were on a 63 game losing streak. Now they are a 1 loss team playing in the 3rd round of the playoffs. It’s hard not to pull for a team who has done a 180 like that.

I love to see Unicoi County do well. Hated that they lost a couple of heart breakers. But I am not butthurt. I didn’t rub it in to Happy Valley fans or Cloudland. It’s just a game. I don’t live my life through their success. Even with the Vols. I’m damn happy and proud of the Vols. But if they were 1-9 instead of 9-1 I’d still be proud of em. My overall happiness does not depend on their success. If it did then I’d be a Bama fan 🤣😂. Lol but in all seriousness, it’s just a game. The point is: don’t base your happiness on K-12 sports.

If there was a closure half the entitled parents would throw a fit. They’d throw a fit if they didn’t close. You had parents saying they “homeschooled” their kids during COVID when they were just virtual. Parents probably didn’t provide them with one iota of instruction except for saying “Did you log in and do your work?” “Yeah I did.” “Good job.” Then when it turns out they didn’t and have an F for that reason then the parent would be raising cane with the school. Kids today have no more a problem than 50 years ago. The only reason it feels that way is because their parents won’t be their parents. They’re just their pal.

Chest thumping over a high school game eh? Sad. Do you live your life through high school football?

Drugs are all over the place dude. I don’t think I-26 would have changed it. We have drugs in Unicoi County.

I hope the guy fries. And all the druggies get put away for a very long time.

I have looked at the series. It looks like Gate City used to be in a higher classification but with a smaller enrollment. I saw multiple seasons where the former Powell Valley and Gate City played. PV won a couple of them in regular season. Gate City would get their revenge in the playoffs. Looked like that happened in 2001 and 07. Both teams looked like they were very good those 2 seasons. I also looked at another season where it seems like Gate City was a heavy favorite in both the regular season and playoffs. Yet Powell Valley swept them. I think it was 2005. I think Powell Valley won regular season 17-14. They won in the playoffs by a score of what? 49-20 or something? That playoff game from 05 is on YouTube. I watched a good bit of it yesterday. Powell Valley scored first. Then Gate City struck back and scored a couple times. Then Powell Valley went up like 21-14 at the half. Third quarter started neck and neck for much of the time. Powell Valley scored after a Gate City muffed punt or something. Gate City couldn’t adjust. Powell Valley took over and piled it on. That Quarterback from PV on that team looked alright. Like he was trying to emulate Michael Vick or something. Y’all may be in for a doozy up in Virginia.

That’s too bad. I don’t like seeing teams have to forfeit. Hate it for Union because if they’re all that sick and can’t play then they lose by forfeit. Hate it for Gate City because know they won’t wanna win for that reason. But it’s not Gate City’s fault. Or Union’s. That just happens. This is going be a looooong flu season I’m afraid.

Welp. It wasn’t a good trip to Gatlinburg last night for the Devils. We got our butts handed to us by Gatlinburg Pittman 56-28. Most of those Smoky Mountain teams are simply on a higher level than the NE Tennessee teams. With the exception of Cosby, Cocke County, and maybe Seymour.

In the words of Ike Turner: D-d-d-d-dayyyyummm!

Gentry Stadium is fairly nice. Want some pizza? Go to Rocky’s Pizza.

Hey! That hurt my feelings! Haha

It’d be cool if y’all played us and made the trip to Erwin.

I mean nothing against Union. Lol. I just don’t see Union beating Science Hill. I would love for Union to put Science Hill or DB in their place.

Science Hill will stomp Union.
