Hard to keep coaches in Smyth County when you can 10-15 miles either way on 81 and get a 5 to 10 thousand dollar pay raise. 

Let it begin.....

GMen show off their state championship rings! 

I hope Gate City posters realize what they have accomplished. I am officially calling it: in the previous six months of material posted on SWVASports, they have officially surpassed Abingdon as the "most disliked fan base by their neighbors" in SWVA.

Someone gets it. 

A really nice article today by Nate Hubbard in the Bristol Hearld Courier about Abingdon's Head Coach Garrett Amburgey being the prep coach of the year.

0% chance this HoF thread gets locked lol. This thing is a gold mine. 

I wonder why he interviewed. 🤔

Boy is it getting hot in here or what?  Ouch.

Yeah you got it finally genius. Not everyone gets a trophy in life might have been different in your Powell valley days when you rode the bench.

This is what is wrong with today's society everyone gets a trophy. 24 kids that's it. First team and move on 11 off 11 defs. Utility player and kicker.

Give honors to 40 kids?   Is this what you are saying?  If it is, then I hope that there are plenty of trophy makers out there, since everyone should get one.  Life is about making contributions and working behind the scenes from time to time.  You may not always get the credit your deserve, but can you honestly say you gave everything you had.  Players are going to get overlooked and it happens.  There are many times that these things are nothing more than a popularity contests for the coaches.  Players should work hard to EARN those accolades. 
They already have two first team QBs?  That is a joke in itself.  Coaches call each other and say vote for my kid and I'll vote for your kid blah, blah, blah.  Did the kids tie and nobody wanted to break the tie in the meeting?  Stats and wins should account for the people that make it to first team.  Standouts should make the team as well, when a super talented kid may not play on a winning team.  Coaches know who those kids are when they watch film and  play each other. 

He is good though and to the victor goes the spoils and comparing then it would be a toss up for POY between him and Polier.  Why not give it to both of them Hell they don't care to give two awards to everyone else

First, I think Coach Colley is and outstanding coach.  Second, you people crack me up....
I am glad that you (Larry)  have a personal relationship with Coach Colley.  I bet he wouldn't know you at all.  The funny thing is, all you do is complain about throwing the football and not being in the T.  You wouldn't get your wish if they hired him. Maybe LHL's wish list should include a new baseball bat, the one he had in high school didn't work.

I'll help too.
Why is Grape so bitter?  If anyone else has success, he and a few others just try to tear it down.  I do know that he was wanting to help Coach Reed at Abingdon.  How is that for sour grapes?

And no, I'm not LPD 1967...even though he sounds like me...

Rookie Post...not Rookie LPD
I was fortunate to play against Coach T. Dotson..Mr. Riggs..Mr. Harry Frye..PV Coaches..Coach Dave Ryder and Mr. Cummins.
We would have taken care of this situation in the locker room or on the practice field..BEFORE it occurred on the field/court/diamond.
The Helicopter Moms..Lawnmower Dads..Grandstand Usta' Bees have weakened the character and ownership responsibility of our student-atheletes.
I will not be popular on this Forum so bring it.

Let me get this straight, you went to practice and set up on the hill at THE EASTMAN (joke in itself) Credit Union and know for a fact that they didn't work on the fundamentals?  Hmmmm.  Then I guess you should apply for the job (shut up and apply) l get so sick of these posts about how you are the only ones that know football. Since we are talking about coaching,  neither Coach Fry or Coach Colobro were from Gate City.    It is the few of your keyboard warriors that make everyone else sick and tired of hearing it.  You are also the problems when it comes to your kids (in the community) getting coached because all you do is bash people.  Get over it.

Yeah right! As long as there are plenty of Fathead Larrys running around, it will be the same ole same.
