Well, I have no idea on how it's going to go. I have to believe grundy can win. So I'll go with them. I'm going to finally be able to get to go to this game since it's almost in my back yard.

I hope they put Lebanon in a district by themselves lol all they do is cry like little girls. They would be at the bottom of 1a too. BTW they will cry cry cry as long as they are getting beat to death witch looks like it could be for a long time!

How many damn times is Lebanon going to move between districts and/or classes? It seems like every few years or so we hear rumblings out of Russel Co. that the Pioneers aren't happy with where they're at? 

This stumped me for a second, not gonna lie. I wondered why we'd send two VA teams to the Great Lakes. ;)

Either you or your child must not be very good at sports...
 

This is one of the reasons jobs continue to leave the USA in droves. Until we get over to the entitlement mentality this county will continue to struggle. It has been stated many times; employers are unable to find workers that are team players and are willing to work for an honest day's pay. It starts with a word that's not always easy to say to your flesh and blood but is most necessary for proper development, NO. Failure and not always having things the way you want them, when you want them can be a great motivator if nurtured properly. 
We also need to remember it is not important to be a subordinate's friend when you are in an authority position. Make the tough decisions and stand by them. When I look back to many of my "old school" coaches and teachers, that I may have disliked at the time, I today realize how much I learned from these great people.  

I have no words other than, WTF is wrong with some people...

I'm flabbergasted.
 
Whining to the school board, at a public hearing, because your little Johnny isn't getting the playing time you think he deserves? Crying because you're ignorant about the game of football and can't see how a 20-point game is not out of reach in the 4th quarter?
 
I know this is WVVA, so take it with a block of salt. I do not know about what details of the coach's "personal life" are, but considering the school board didn't terminate him, it seems petty and slight.
 
Look, Tazewell, I want to want good things for your football team. Your kids deserve it. Your embattled coach deserves it. Many of your rational fans deserve it. But if people in your community whine and moan to this level, and are so brazen to put their names behind it...it makes me question whether or not Tazewell has what it takes to warrant a good football team.
 
You lost to Richlands...again...and part of that is the parent-sanctioned playing musical chairs with the coaching staff. Build a bridge and get over it. Give the man a chance to build something. For one of the few times since my youth, your team isn't horrible. In fact, even the kids are buying in, which has been a huge problem in the past.
 
/Rant.

I've stayed out of the spot light because I didn't want to take away for the complete domination of my Falcons.  I've been busy spreading my business around with all my ladies and haven't had time to entertain you bruisers on here.  Speaking of bruising, hows those bruises holding up Gate City after we embarrassed you?  Haha  I bring up Gate City because there's some talk that you want Randy Reid to come bail you out of the mess you're in right now.  Didn't you know that poaching was illegal?  Don't come cry the blues after you passed him up and didn't see the potential that ABINGDON FALCONS did!  Do you know what we do to Falcon poachers? . . . . . We take them behind the wood shed for old fashioned arse whipping!  My advice, leave Randy ALONE!  Next topic,  can this board get anymore politically correct?  I mean its good luck guys, don't get mad if we win, wheres a good place to eat, hope to play hard . . . . . . whatever happened to, "Hey, the Falcons are coming and we're going run through your town like Sherman did Atlanta?" You heard me right!  The Falcons are Coming!  "Fear the Beak!"  That's whats happening to our society.  No one tells em like it is and the next thing you know Iran has a nuclear deal.  While others sit quietly and watch the cars go by.  Well, I'm not going sit around and watch Gate City poach our Falcon!! No Sir, that won't happen on Falconman's watch.  I'll leave you with these two thoughts:  No to Iran Nukes;  No to Falcon Poaching!!!!
 
PS:  Tired of hearing about Union.  Union you don't want any of my Falcons!
 
Go Falcons

The Hurley/Grundy matchup has been set for Thursday night for quite some time actually. I wondered if it was moved to not compete with the VT game.

Can't tell you how many stories I've heard over the years about how bad the refs are when a Buchanan team plays in WV or KY.
Lloyd could write a book just about that. (hmmm... wonder if any of those stories are in his 'columns' book that'll be on sale in a few days?)

And that in a nutshell is why a lot of well qualified coaches don't coach anymore. Whether it be peewee, little league or at the varsity level and beyond, a lot of the parents are complete idiots.

Two words...
 
Hillsville, Virginia. 

Washington post as well..

Now,,, the snowball starts getting bigger,, ABC news is on board..

Well said Redtiger, and your probably right.
 Now people that really could care less about that young man and only care about showing their mug on TV or being quoted in a paper or magazine will descend on Hurly and this area to make a big issue out of this.
People that are not from around here already think that we are all a bunch of redneck, inbred, none educated idiots already..........don't believe me,  watch just about any show or movie about people in Appalachians and see how they make us look.   Maybe not all,  but most.
Now someone will think they need to swoop in and save the poor ole people of the mountains from ourselves...........ohhhhhhh,  it just burns my a__.
The kid seemed to be just fine with it and was proud enough of it to have it tattooed on his arm.  I guess I better shut up before I say something I shouldn't. 

Pretty good read but im afraid now Hurley will be descended upon by idiots trying to make this an issue. I did feel that the writer equating the beliefs/actions/bullshit of Trump with the people of Hurley was in an attempt to make them look foolish. The young man with the rebel flag tattoed on his forearm may be about to get judged by a lot of people who dont understand him or the feelings of people in Hurley/SWVA/Central Appalachia

Buchanan County has roughly 890 high school students 9-12 spread out over 4 high schools. There are very few counties this side of Lynchburg that have 4 schools in their county! The ones that do are pushing anywhere from 2500 to over 3000 students in 9-12.  Politics in Buchanan County continue to hold our students back. Every year, one of the county teams folds a sport in the spring due to lack of numbers, this to the blind eyes of the ones who can do something about it. Instead they have fought over a elementary school of 70 students, trying to re-open it! SMH….. No SMDH!!!!

Pike County is one step ahead of all of swva. They have been consolidating over there since what, the late 80s?
