Remember a few years ago when everyone on this board was certain that Richlands and Union were going to meet in Salem and everything in between was a waste of time? I remember. It's week 5. Simmer down.

The fact that no one has tried the "Speed Trappers" yet disturbs me.

Folks, I have the pleasure of being around a few athletics programs due to my profession and I see an alarming trend going on locally in the aspect of discipline. Programs that used to have depth and stability no longer have that and are grasping at straws in regard to talent. If you hold some of these young men accountable, they will leave the program and never return. Sometimes that will snowball to other players leaving, "Come on man, we don't have to put up with this." With the lack of numbers, I see coaches afraid to be tough to make players better men because they are scared that their numbers will dwindle or at worst their parents will go and cry to an administrator who will back the parent regardless of the situation just to please. It's not what it used to be and let's not be too fast to blame the kids because a lot of this starts at home. Just my observation...

How will the great Hilltoppers play in such a meager facility this week? Maybe they can move it to the Astrodome to make all parties satisfied.

Culture shock? Some of you all are acting like Bullitt is the Cliff.

What in the hell is going on at these stadiums?

That may happen a few more times this season unfortunately.

Chmara wasn't the only Beaver coach to head up the Fauquier progroam. AT Howard did as well, for only the 1963 season.

Probably after a great year at Abingdon, she'll declare for the NBA draft.

I can't tell you what my favorite thing about the NFHS Network is... Is it the fact that despite paying for it, I have to see the same ad every time I bounce between games. Or is it that most places can't even get their equipment to work. Or maybe the fact that there was just some random kid by himself roaming the field in Saltville..

Fun Beaver/Graham fact - Bluefield has never won a state title the same year they lost to Graham. Graham has won a state title the same year they have lost to Bluefield. Per our great friends at Four Seasons Football dot com.

All the local colleges are grabbing the kids from Alderson Broaddus, maybe Bland can do the same?

The 1980's Garden Green Dragons home units were hard to beat.

Might want to call Alderson Broadus.

Who knew there was a magical portal at the state line that erased all previous athletic accomplishments?

Someone please tell me that Jenkins @ Virginia High is a typo...

The Bearded Moose did it to himself with his ill-informed take. And it's sad, because I would eat there at least once a week before that.

Lebanon will be in 2D and the SWD for the next few years until they can send a few kids back to Castlewood and Honaker to drop again.
