I am not saying Region D schools are crap. I am talking about how it is runned. The politics are crap.

I mean what is everyone afraid of?:D

Huh?

They can let everyone in for all I care. The ones not deserving to be there will be weeded out.

Why do so many get their panties in a wad when someone says Lee County High School? Just for this reason I will now refer to them as Lee County High everytime I mention them.lol!:D

Because Region D is crap! Best thing the VHSL can do is do away with Regions and make things uniform one way or the other. Besides the only championship that should matter is for State. I do not like that each region controls how the playoffs are played or where they are played. Region D is the worst in the state forcing the top seeded team to travel to UVA Wise to play for a Region title. Region D is and always will be run by Wise County.

The only honor that should matter is to win state not just make the playoffs.

I like what a guy said on another board I read. Just do away with the 4 regions and go with 2. For instance in single a combine regions c and d and combine regions a and b. Let in either 8 or 12 teams and the playoffs would become very interesting! I would pay 10 bucks a game to see some of those matchups! Just think of a first round matchup in the future of Gate City vs. Giles VA High vs. George Wythe Powell Valley vs. Floyd Kelly vs. Radford Lebanon vs. Chilhowie

Coeburn and Honaker would be automatic bids every year being that they are the only D2 teams in their District. They could go 0-10 and still be in the playoffs. LOL!

Why is a team not deserving with a 6-4 or even a 5-5 record? In 94 Gate City lost in the State Title game by a score of 12 to 7 after going 6-4 in the regular season. In 88 Jonesville not only played for a State Title but won it after going 5-5 in the regular season. Appalachia also won a State Title after going 5-5 in the regular season. That is three teams I can think of right off that made the title game after going 6-4 or 5-5 and two of those teams brought home State Crowns. Where they not deserving to be in the playoffs? Would have been bad if Suprbeasts logic was in effect then. Open the playoffs up to 6 teams. If they are not deserving teams then they will not last long. It will really make things more interesting. Right now all Honaker needs to do is win three games a year to make the playoffs and could make it in with a 3-7 record one of these years. It will not be a big deal to have a 6 team playoff. It is a win win situation.

Wonder if Bluefield will ban Tazewell from ever playing at Mitchell again?

If he had stayed at Battle do you think he would have still won 7 state titles?

No one said you had to sign it.;)

UVA Wises stadium is to small to host that game. They are installing Field Turf at Wise within the next year or so.

yep. they only movedthem due to Liberty having renovations done.

I kinda thought you did. lol I like the State Title games the way they are though I would like to see the D1 and 2 games at Virginia Tech.

Play it at Bluefield or Carrol County. lol I dont find it fair that Region D is the only Region out of 12 Regions to force this. All or nothing.

Where does Richlands play?

Region D is the only Region to do this. Regions A,B,and C is #1 seed hosts the finals. In fact I think Region D is the only Region to do this in all 6 divisions(24 Regions). I truely feel this is an unfair situation. The Region D principals voted for this. Should have been voted on by the coaches.

The only reasons that was ever voted in place was to keep the Wise County Schools from having to travel and give them the better advantage. That place is a joke. The visitor stands are smaller than most High School visitor stands. It really pisses me off to see this happen every year. There has to be a way to get this changed. It is not fair to anyone outside of Wise County. I just wonder if a petition could be made to the vhsl to over turn the Region D buttholes?

Division 1 Clintwood @ Holston Division 2 George Wythe @ Lebanon

Someones got to put a little comedy in this post. lol:D

Actually I thought Battle was more impressive than Tazewell. That would make a great close game if the two could play each other.

Graham 45 Tazewell 24

The Spread sucks.
