Was your reliable source “reliable”?

5 - four lost fumbles and the interception. GC put the ball on the ground on several other occasions that they were able to recover. No other way to say it, it was just plain ugly.

What was wrong with Calhoun?

Then there is Lee High traveling to Appomattox if true, that's close to 300 miles from Ben Hur

From what I viewed from Friday night it will be a long night against Abingdon for the V-Cats I am afraid.

According to the Bristol paper, JSB was 3 for 11 in passing attempts for 17 yards.

Not to nitpick but it was 40-7 @ half, 77-33 final. Wise Central actually came out colder than I had seen them early on but go in tempo. I have no horse in the race but a Floyd-Central game would be a great game to witness IMHO.

I beg to differ, most of them making the noise have been on the CMD board for quite some time and are established posters that in the past used to be fairly reasonable. The one JSB fan leading the charge with idiotic posts leaves no question to what his identity happens to be. Nope, no Falconman or Southbound there - they're the real deal and it's very obvious at that.

Don't repeat that around John Battle fans, they'll scream foul lol

My money would be on two of these three: Glenvar, Appomattox, Grundy

Here is a list in order of the 2012 strength of schedule for Division 2 teams within the state according to opponent's rating up to this point from the VHSL reference website: 1. Gate City 2. Arcadia 3. Glenvar 4. Union 5. Gretna 6. Lee 7. Graham 8. Nelson County 9. Page 10. William Monroe 11. Clarke County 12. Stonewall Jackson 13. Manassas Park 14. Floyd County 15. George Mason 16. Chatham 17. Wilson Memorial 18. Stuarts Draft 19. Amelia County 20. Fort Chiswell 21. Washington & Lee 22. King William 23. Nottoway 24. Bluestone 25. Central (Woodstock) 26. Lebanon 27. James River (Buchanan) 28. Virginia High 29. Goochland 30. Randolph-Henry 31. Luray 32. Windsor 33. Grayson County 34. Essex 35. Dan River 36. East Rockingham 37. Buckingham County 38. Madison County 39. Appomattox 40. Buffalo Gap 41. Nandua 42. John Battle 43. Riverheads 44. Giles 45. Strasburg 46. Wise Central 47. Grundy I'd say Virginia High's schedule is a little stronger myself.

I agree to a certain point, however the jury is still out on some of those mentioned.

You are very correct Rebel1, but be careful because even so that's the case, you may be called an "idiot" as well

Very nice, you post on here about how a D-4 Abingdon "shocked the world" by losing to a D-2 team who finished last season @ 5-6 & lost numerous skilled position players to graduation of that team from last year, telling people on here to "man up" and admit they were wrong? Then you turn around and call me an idiot due to me expressing my opinion? Wow, sounds like you want to be heard but you can't handle the opinions of others - especially when it gives you a reality check. What do you expect people to say, "Wow, that loss to a team with an enrollment around half your size that finished below .500 was impressive - please accept our apologies!" Messageboards such as this one as well as others aren't set up for you a la Burger King where you can always "have it your way", and that goes for everyone else here as well. If you're going to come on here and start pleading for apologies in the way you have for a loss to a team given the info above you're going to have to "man up" and take some criticism yourself.

I don't think I have ever seen someone so excited about his team losing to another sub-par football team before...

Thanks Lance, I appreciate it...

Okay, thanks - I appreciate it. We're heading up around 4 p.m. today, I'd say it's been over 25 years since I've been there...

...the first time in a long, long time. Where does Grundy play their soccer matches - at the school or elsewhere around town? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Virginia High's line most of the time cut blocks and are very skilled at doing so.

Gate City lost 2 of the 3 "tough" games on their schedule last season and went on to win the state championship. Because of being 8-2 in the regular season no one (outside of themselves obviously) gave them any chance in the postseason. If you would look at the schedule from last year and compare it to this year you would notice that it is actually a tougher schedule this season. Yes they lost a lot to graduation but they're still pretty competitive.
