I taught and coached at Marion for 2 years, I know the current administration. There is no way that they knew about this prior to the Chilhowie game, if they had known, they would have immediately suspended those players.
 
Those of you who are trying to create something from nothing, let it go. The situation is now under control and the administration acted properly in suspending the boys. Doing what is right is much more important than winning a football game and the administration is more concerned about doing what is right than winning a cross county "rivalry!"

We don't hide like Falconman and Southy when we lose I care if Marion wins I'm a diehard fan but I don't lose sleep over losing a game and I definitely ain't going to hide from a chat board when we lose my life ain't that bad

I live in the County, and while I had heard about the mailboxes being damaged, I must have been in the half that didn't know who was responsible for it. The first I heard about the whole thing was the day before the Marion/Northwood game. And if it's true that half the County knew about it, why is it that no one reported it before hand? Sure, they're juveniles which would have kept it out of the widespread public eye, but I'm pretty sure that it's still a crime that the kids should be prosecuted for. Maybe UVAObserver could clarify that a little bit better; I don't pretend to know enough about the law to say that with certainty. Regardless, I find it hard to believe that the same school that expelled their star runningback for breaking the law, opening the door for him to transfer to their chief rival, would have let this slide.

I think you need to get your facts straight. You must be sipping on too much tea. The authorities found out AFTER the Chilhowie game. Funny how you try to call out Marion when they suspended the players immediately but yet it was fine for Chilhowie to play all of the players involved with the hazing the same week against a district opponent.

An epic storm of funny fail. Pretty much sums up Abingdon football through 2013.

hey man I have been waiting for the season to get started I expect the blues will have a good year even when you dont have as much talent you guys always win games great coaches and and a good program as for Marion I think we will be fine if the line develops Wagner is back at RB and I expect him to have a monster year who knows we may rollover to ole Ernie Hicks sometime in November lol

The Champ is here lol 

I figured they'd get a recruit or two this year.

Congratulations, Panthers! That certainly makes the race for the Smyth County Championship more interesting. I had a feeling they would surprise some people, and a rivalry game against a somewhat overrated Chilhowie team is the perfect place for that to happen.

Thanks guys and Thanks Ryan for the work you do

Congrats man 

Thanks guys! I really liked this and hope we do it again next year! Thank you UVAObserver for putting this together this year. Very understandable about the young one. I know all to well how busy a father can be after the arrival of a little one. You did a great job with this.
