Hell of a game and one hell of a season for the Beavers. Hope they hold their heads high on the trip home because that was one hell of a ballgame. Easily the best HS game I've caught this year. Yeah, obviously I caught it on the radio but I was lucky enough to catch it all without missing a play on the radio here in Peterstown. (Which shocked the hell out of my anyways) Congrats on the great season.

I send my condolences to you and you're family.

I got it on wvmetronews.com

Feb. 3 @ Fort Chiswell Feb. 6 Galax The MED looks more wide open this year than ever in recent memory. But Narrows is lucky to be returning all but 1 starter from last years team and should be the front runner for the MED title this year. Looking forward to those Giles and James Monroe games though. Those are always fun just for the atmosphere.

I don't know about the Wheeling feeling. I witnessed my first real game at Mitchell last week (Grundy and Graham) and was impressed with the changes. The last time I was there was the '94 Grid-o-rama and a lot of upgrading and facelifts has been made since then obviously. The field was in great shape also. It seemed to me that it has restroom and seating capacity needed for a state final game(s). The only problem I could forsee would be maybe parking. Why not get the Final 6 in Bluefield?

It couldn't be any worse than my senior year there. Their only win came against Marion. The JV beat them everytime that the varsity and JV scrimmaged. Very sad in my opinion.

The VHSL gets their enrollment numbers from the schools themselves. Stop whining.

The way I understand it, Narrows and James Monroe won't be playing each other next year.

Who wins these games Friday night?

Well, I'm obviously a Region C guy but here goes nothing: Graham 44, Martinsville 10: Lack of offense keeps Martinsville out. Grundy 27, Fieldale-Collinsville 13: For some reason I like Grundy's D to step in this one. Magna Vista 20, Richlands 16: Magna Vista has plenty of playoff experience when it comes to playing at home. Carroll Co. 31, Abingdon 17: Jordan Johnson will get his yards but so will both of Carroll's backs.
