Your right no one should worry at all about Abingdon. They seem to be very weak this year. Good luck to everyone it looks like the district is up for grabs.

1-0 at the half. Abingdon scored on an on goal from Marion. Neil Henry scored on a header in the second half. Possession was about 80-20 Abingdon. Marion other than a few set plays had no shots on frame that i can recall. Abingdon probably had at least 15 on frame the keeper played really well for Marion. Abingdon also had a goal taken away for an offsides. Marion to their credit fought hard the whole game and actually applied some decent preasure at the end but it was to little to late. Pretty steady game for Abingdon. Marion played the game they had to make the score close. Good game by both teams.

"Get blown out in the regionals every year"? I don't know if anyone has ever told you but Abingdon is the two time defending region IV champions and they only lost 1-0 to cave springs last year in state. Cave springs went on to become state runner-up. Abingdon has already, scrimmage or not, played tennessee high, cave springs and salam. Because john battle is in the same county and five minutes down the road they have to play each other.Abingdon dropped PH and kept Va high because they were a better match-up and a rival the rest of their games are all district. Besides, and i mean no disrespect at all, Graham did play Blacksburg last year and it has not made them an ounce better. You either have a good team or you don't. Feeder programs and off season work outs as well as travel teams all make your team better. By the time the season rolls around other than some minor adjustments your team only has so much potential regaurdless of who you play. I think it's time everyone in this area stop being afraid of everyone else in the state and start realizing that we can play soccer with all but a handfull of teams across the state. I am proud that soccer in this area has improved every year but i am amazed at how much we put ourselves down. Good luck to everyone.

Abingdon has already tied Cave Springs and beaten Salam and Martinsville defeated Hidden Valley while Carroll County defeated Christiansburg i believe. I would say that would seem to dispell the myth about teams here having no chance. The river ridge is very beatable this year with the exception of Blacksburg.

Abingdon defeated Tazewell 5-1 but should of had at least 10 0r 12 goals. Two or three goals were wiped off because of offsides and they missed at least 8-10 break away shots from around the PK area, they just rushed the shots. Tazewell only had about 4 shots on goal. TJ had a hand ball that caused everyone to stop play the ref told everyone to keep playing so he kicked a high ball with the wind and scored from about 35 out after the keeper had walked off his line on the hand ball. Tazewell played hard and did all they could but Abingdon was just to strong for it to even be a game. Hats off to Tazewell they never gave up.
