I don't know what's going on with Grayson's program, but after watching the last two minutes of the game, if I were a Grayson player, I would quit the team because the coaches have quit on them.

Finish them!!!

I disagree while Chilhowie has a fine coach the bunch of talent that is playing has been playing ball together for years as had the groups before. And the coach has been able to keep them playing when they get to High School. Alot of people want to give the ball coach all the credit the bottom line is these boys would win with just about anybody coaching them at this point. Chilhowie has an excellent youth program and it has built this program to where it is. 

I think you skipped the Wild Turkey and went straight to Crack!
 

He’s a well respected member here, and you joined 18 minutes ago to smear him.  Who to believe?  Hmmm...

The sentiment from that post in 2017 still rings true. With Dixon’s leadership and strength and conditioning program, Galax has enough talent to win Region 1C four out of every five years. Especially with Region 1C being as weak as it’s been lately. Let’s examine how Galax has ended several seasons under Dixon. 
2012 - loss to Honaker
2013 - loss to Haysi
2014 - loss to Haysi
2016 - loss to Riverheads in state semis. 
2017 - loss to Chilhowie state semis
2018 - loss to Chilhowie state semis
Im not real popular around town because I’m very much a realist. Galax is the class of region 1C. But that doesn’t guarantee them a trip to Salem. It’s hard to get there, especially out of arguably the weakest region in Class 1. 
Galax’s success over the years is something to be proud of. But calling a spade a spade makes me a “hater”!

Bottom line is had Narrows pulled off the upset last week Chilhowie would not have complained a bit about the game being moved to E&H. For the 1st time this year I think the Warriors are somewhat worried about an opponent. IMO

I hate it for those boys; I would love to see them (CHS) achieve something that most of us dreamed about as players but the adults have made this such a mess for them. Hopefully both teams come out without injuries and may the best team win.

I wish that was true here...however I think it most from around the county will support the Warriors. I for one would pull anyone in the area to do good and to pull out a win. But you have some that can't put away childish rivalries away for the better of sportmanship and surrounding communities.

That's what most are overlooking. The players themselves could care less where they play at. The kids aren't the ones that made the calls or whined about going to Emory. So of course they may have some concerns or a bit of nerves but what young player wouldn't. But they aren't afraid or worried, they are confident in their skills and they know they can play great ball. It's people that don't play making a big deal out of the move. 

Everyone who had Northwood hosting a state semifinal in the preseason, come collect your money.

What sense does moving the game to Saltville make? How many weeks has it been since a game was played on that field and is it even ready to host a game that will happen in less than 24 hours?

What a complete joke and major distraction for those kids from Chilhowie.  Galax has to have all of the motivation in the world now.  Chilhowie fans, staff, and administration are acting like moving a game from a muddy field to a college stadium with wonderful facilities to a field with sinkholes and giant rocks in the corner of the end zone with pine trees two feet from the pylons is a great idea.  Also why did they go practice at Emory & Henry?  I smell ego city because VHSL moved it to Emory without consulting with them first.  I hope all that complained are happy with the outcome.  I hate it for those kids especially the seniors.  Reminds me of Tennessee trying to hire Greg Schiano lol!   

Drainage should be just fine pouring into those caves underneath it as long as another sinkhole doesn't open up...

This is bordering on the absurd! 

What happened to sucking it up and playing in the rain? I know they want it to be even matched for both teams, but football can’t always be played on a perfect day with sunshine and it be 65!!!  Man things have sure changed over the years!!

Get the **** out of here with that BS man. Just shut up. You don't know a damn thing that happened. Classless asshole. 
There's a real family out there that is grieving hard right now. There's friends and teammates that don't know what to think now that their brother and classmate is gone. And the LAST thing on this planet that they need is YOU coming on here with your BS Richlands hatred speculating on what happened. 
I wish I could say I can't believe you would do that, but sadly, this is right in your wheelhouse. 

You know what the Hell you were doing.  Your first post was absurd, and it’s preposterous that you feel the need to defend it.  Regardless the reason, a young man has passed away, and it’s basic human decency to avoid taking shots at someone.  Were this my board, I’d permaban you for this.

In soupy conditions, a win is a win.

To be honest, your 1-5 in pointless when you continuously leave out Bluefield.

The competitive phase of this game will be over in the 3rd quarter, if not sooner.

Allow me to clarify.  It's not that it had been 6 years since they beat Amherst.  Last night's victory was apparently the first for Liberty (formerly Bedford) Middle School in ANY football game since 2012.  My 2nd born son is a member of the team (mostly bench sitting WR/DB this year) and he was only in for a couple of plays.  But he and his teammates are walking a little prouder this morning.  I asked him what they did to commemorate a win the next day in school (like wearing their jerseys, for example).  He obviously didn't know.
Sorry that this isn't SW Virginia related or probably even of interest to very many people.  Just wanted to indulge in my own little Moment of Zen.
