Burton 34 Castlewood 13
Final

CNN has deliberately described Ivermectin as Veterinary Medicine
Know why? BECAUSE IT IS !!!!!!!
DO NOT TAKE IVERMECTIN PRODUCTS INTENDED FOR ANIMAL USE

And I don't usually do this, but this time, I will... you LIED!!!!
Unless you're splitting hairs by using the 'since he's already died, I don't know him anymore' train of thought.
Or the 'no one has actually died from it' lie.
 

Or, you know, you can get the f***ing shot that’s (1) free, (2) not designed to treat parasites in farm animals, and (3) will cut your risk of death by 98+%.  That beats any alleged benefit at eating horse worm paste.
 
Normally, I wouldn’t reply to this sheer stupidity, but I’m tired to seeing my friends die.

Union’s helmet logo should always use the contrasting colors with the shell color. If the shell is going to be blue, make the logo orange and white. If it’s going to be orange, make the logo blue and white. If it’s going to be white, make the logo blue and orange. That would drastically improve the helmet, imo. Just keep the blue facemask the same with any combo.

Akers is looking pretty good at Holston.

Began playing at Riggs when I was 8 never was as bad as people make it out to be.  Parking is the only real issue.  The field looks great now since no one practices on it

I would venture to guess that Graham is the only team in the area who would prefer to play Union at Bullitt Park than at home.

This ^. 

While on the field I never heard the crowd, band or cheerleaders, sounds other than the cadence never bothered me . If you know what you are doing you can hear your Q B over all the noise in the world. 

It’s a tough situation for sure. But, covid affects kids, too. A couple days before the Burton/Twin Springs game, a student from Twin Springs died from it. When you put it in that perspective, a game isn’t very important. It sucks that kids’ participation in sports is being impacted, but it is what it is for now.

Came to read updates, got a workshop on “mental toughness.” Just give the kids credit already and move on.

To be fair, Thomas Chambliss Williams was a pretty despicable human being. He even went so far as to ensure the use of “Eminent Domain” displaced only black families in order to build a new high school.....that would ultimately bear his name!

Hahahahahahaha you're a riot. If this is best youve got, no sense in continuing this. If you can't admit you were wrong even a bit, then there's no sense in this.
Graham was missing three players, not 30. And why were they out? Oh yeah your star got in trouble. You don't get to use that as an excuse. You told us Richlands would beat Union by two TDs when in fact, they went to Graham and won. You're acting as if Union was some massive favorite which is simply not true, no factual basis whatsoever. Union was a massive underdog going on the road.

Compared to the old LPD forum circa 2006, this forum is tame and serene. Haha

If a QB has to run away from pressure you have out executed the O in some shape or form, whether it is in coverage, blitz or overtaking the blocking scheme.  All you are doing in HS is making the QB throw it in the area of a receiver instead of just chucking it into the stands.  It doesnt say you have to hit them in the hands, it just eliminates the easiest way out when the D has taken the advantage in a play.  Going from 2nd and 1 to 3rd and 1 because you throw it away isnt as fair to the defense who may have performed better on a play than 3rd and 10 because of the choice of play call.

Or......why punish the defense for out executing or scheming the offense by allowing the offense to just throw it away instead of the defense creating the negative yardage play they earned?

Trust me, if Powell Valley and Appalachia communities can merge Hurley and Grundy kids will be just fine.

With the last part, you hit the nail on the head.  The county receives from state and federal funds more than 4 times the money it invests per student.  So, for every student that leaves because of a tuition fee, the school system will lose around $8500.  The county's net loss would be around $7000 per student.  My understanding is that the BOS pays the local fee, but doesn't see any of the state or federal money because it is sent straight to the school system.  If that is the case, all the county's taxpayers are still seeing a return in money for their school due to the state and federal money being a much larger amount than the local share...plus, all the state and local funding is sent to the school board, not the individual schools.  But, because of the way the money is accounted for, it's hard to explain that to someone who doesn't understand the way the school system is funded to begin with.

Possibly, maybe, but no.
To understand school funding you would need to understand the Local Composite Index calculation that determines a locality's ability to pay for their children's education. Since no Reg 7 school district's LCI is above 50%, that essentially means that the locality is getting more from the state than they are contributing. So, is your income tax/sales tax getting put into a general pot that goes to all districts in VA? Technically, yes. Is all of the money that each Reg 7 district being returned plus more? Pretty much.
Based on data gathered from VDOE and tax.virginia.gov, and using Scott Co as the example since they are the topic of discussion, Soott Co sent Virginia less than $20 million in income/sales tax. Virginia funded their school system $28 million. And this isn't counting the other state money that the county/town governments receive from Virginia.
The TN residents aren't the winners here because they are paying all those taxes to Tennessee and NOT getting a free education in return. At least not from Tennessee. The REAL winners here are the students of Scott Co, as they get to share in the extra Virginia funded revenue that each TN kid brings in.
So, are you or any other Reg 7 resident paying for these TN students? No, not likely. Are residents in Fairfax City, Falls Church, Alexandria, Surry, Highland, Goochland, Bath, Arlington and others paying for it? Yep, most likely.
Claiming that a resident of Washington county is paying for TN students to attend school in Scott Co is stretching it a bit or otherwise Washington Co's LCI would be over 50% rather than the 35.22% it is.

Is it giving them a free pass though?  The more kids a school system has, the more money the state sends to that community, and it's a significant amount.  Thereby, bringing more of your tax revenue back to your community.

That’s the thing...for simplicity sake, think of it like this: For every $1.50 the county spends on a student, they get $8.00 in state and federal funds. The caveat is that the locality has to spend that $1.50 in order to get those funds, and the BOS is allocating the $1.50 to the school system,  but the school system itself gets the $8.00. The total money is spread across the school system to pay employees and operate the system...not just at one school, but all schools in the district. So, if the county loses kids, they save some money of their own, but they lose out on a ton of state and federal money that is desperately needed in order to operate the school system itself.

My math back in October had us spending 10,990 per student roughly in Scott County.  The state average was 10,400 if I remember correctly.  State funding makes up over 70% with federal and county money almost split.  Yes, it costs the county some money in the end, but we are making far more than we are losing for the system we have.   If we lost those 300 we would be best off shutting down a couple of elementary schools most likely.  I had a lot in my district question me on this.  I told them I needed more info before I would commit to anything but at the time sided with the status quo.  I wouldnt mind seeing a small fee setup for the flood we may see doubling that number after next year.  Grandfather the ones in already.  Give all teachers children the option to come in with no tuition and all county taxpayers.  That was if anything was done but we dont need to make huge adjustments at this time.  If the state ever changes how they fund schools, then it could cause a major issue.

At this point I think everyone will agree that WINs > preseason goals
