  1. Any pics of the baseball layout?
  2. Fun fact, Council Cobra cheerleaders were given Hazard Duty pay for their time and effort in the early 1990's.
  3. Union's windows are too small. Ridgeview is facing the sun. Central isn't bad, not enough room though.
  4. In no order. Ridgeview, Twin Valley, Union, Marion, Abingdon
  5. Honaker, Virginia High, Burton, Tazewell
  6. What is Bowman Field, St. Paul, VA?
  7. Top 5 press box in the area!
  8. Don't say HON-AKER, its HO-NAKER
  9. Castlewood up to no good.
  10. What is the Eagles Nest in the Cove.
  11. The 1986 Garden team was always interesting to me. Always wanted to see some film of that playoff run. One thing that was always intriguing, especially with your note on Powell Valley, was how did Garden have the home-field advantage in Region D?
  12. Maybe Graham can play a few games at Mount View's beautiful new facility? I'm sure some of the folks would appreciate not having to drive far to watch their kids play.
  13. Or you can go completely lazy and do "Eagles." Yeah, I'm looking at you Buchanan County.
  14. And Ridgeview. The facility as a whole is great but the seats are too far from the action. I hope the new Buchanan County school puts their track on a practice field instead of the game stadium.
  15. I'm a big fan of places where the seats are right on top of the field.
  16. Yeah, if there was ever an argument that regional tournaments need to be downsized for all sports, this is it.
  17. I worked in the North Country of New York years ago and I can vouch for this. The HS football up there for Class 2 size in VA put a very bad Class 1 product on the field. The hockey though... so good!
  18. Does anyone else find it frustrating that softball and baseball are on the same day?
  19. The problem with a few local Little League systems is that they cut teams and stack talent to win championships. It is sad that a few people value a title at the Pee Wee level like it actually means something. For example, when the Richlands program was in the middle of their most successful run, the league that fed into the HS program had 5-6 teams, spread fairly evenly with talent and 20-25 kids, allowing all kids to play and learn the game. Now, there are two teams, with 35-45 kids each, and many just watching from the sidelines. Not to mention that some of the poorer kids are not able to play because of the travel demands the current system has in place. Furthermore, I've seen firsthand some kids who may have hit a growth spurt early and dominate the lower levels only to find themselves peaking too early and leaving the game altogether once their dominating play has disappeared. As long as Pee Wee trophies are the goal, that's all you'll see on the shelves in the future.
  20. And birds aren't usually good pitchers anyways.
  21. As quiet as Double Gates will be on Friday nights for the foreseeable future.
