Final--Fort Chiswell 13 Essex 38....when you read the stats tomorrow...don't be fooled....They threw 6 flags on the last 6 plays of the game against Essex to "level" the numbers. When the Roanoke times tweets the uncertainty, you know there is something...... Anyway, Come on Haysi, lets get going....

Nothing against the Essex football team....but this would be a much better game if the officials would call the game both ways....NO doubt the Essex team is capable of winning this game, but to completely take one team out of the game with poor chain maintance, bad ball spots, and a lot of questionable calls is not fair to either team.
