If the VHSL has an opportunity to screw something up, they will.

Every. Single. Time.

I think the ghosts of controversies past are haunting the search for assistants.

The often overlooked best sport.  VHSL 1 Wrestling in Va 0.   The 5 tournament rule has not helped the sport 

Yeah the 5 tournament rule is killer. Not a fan of that at all, especially if your team has a handful of girls on it. You’re forcing them to pick between a girls tournament or being with their team fighting for tournament titles. 

Congrats to rjhall71!!! Back to the winning ways in fantasy football with a 265.72 - 265.54 victory. That is INSANELY CLOSE. Congrats!

Congrats to... ME!! Thank you everyone for playing again this year! We'll be back for March Madness!

I have a question, did coach Davis, every play football, at Richlands ? I am not from Richlands .

He did, but he had a heart attack during two-a-days before his sophomore year and it ended his playing career. 

500 replies on this topic... wow. The infamous Akers post only hit 438. So this thread has now surpassed it.

Yep. Congrats to Ronnie! Excited to see the staff he puts together, starting with his brother lol.

What is the over/under odds for a 30 pager for this thread!

I would say under. We have to be close to finding out who the coach is — and I expect it will quiet down after that. Lol

The Galax band left for John Battle at 6:00 am this morning for Regional Band Auditions. They are hoping to get to Salem by kickoff. 
 

Just got a text message that the band organizers haven’t even made it through the middle school bands yet. The Galax band will probably be late arriving like the George Wythe band was last year. 
 

Administrators need to get this fixed. It’s been this way for at least 12 years because the Galax band was late arriving in 2011 for the same reason. It’s senseless to schedule something like this at the same time as the state championships. 

When I was in band we played in the final in Lynchburg my sophomore, junior and senior years. They let ALL Richlands band students go first so we could make the game. I believe maybe GW or GC was in the title game one year as well and they let them go first, too. 
 

I don’t see why they stopped doing that for kids who need to get to state title games. If you aren’t gonna change the date of auditions — at least let them go first.

It seems to me that Tazewell & Graham were both well represented as well as several others from SWD. Congratulations to all the players listed above from Region D. 

If only we knew who was represented on the SWD team...

Sources tell me the next coach is gonna be named tomorrow as Coach Rick Vice. We'll see.

Oh I'm dumb, but not dumb enough to interview for a coaching position in Tazewell County hahahha. I don't need that hex put on me. 

Does anyone have the actual full list? It's impossible to find.

when are interviews starting?

They started today, but from what I've heard, it's just doing them to check off a box. They already know who is getting it...

I remember when Erick Green was named ACC POY in a season where VT had a losing record and finished last in the ACC. Oh, and he was a 3rd team All-American. The best player doesn't always have to come from the best team.
