I hope so too

Jason, I can't argue or disagree with that point.  It's a legitimate one and I agree with you.  

The class divisions only existed for football at the very end. Previously divisions only existed for football, all other sports played A/AA/AAA

Actually, that's TRUE!!!!

I think it helped Appy playing all them D2 schools come playoff time.  Doesn't matter if Abingdon kicks everyone's ass in district anyway because they're not taking any spots in the playoffs

I like having them in the district though makes everyone else better.

I left the game, but Abingdon scored again as I was walking out the gate. Great game Gate City!

Great effort Devils you just wore down

No it starts in half an hour.

I watched the GC/Union middle school game the other night (GC won 22-0) and was encouraged for the future. If I'm not mistaken, we have more on the middle school team than we do on varsity. Flag football had around 90 kids involved this year. So hopefully things will be rebounded soon. As for tonight, the kids will play their guts out. Hopefully both teams will stay healthy.

No way, Union lost?
Check this out. Union and Graham had the same number of total yds, the same number of passing yds, the same number of rush yds. I've never heard of that on the history of football at any level on all time. Exact same rush, pass, total yds. Has to be some kind of a record that would hold up likely a Ross the entire country.

Because Union can ONLY play conservative. It works in keeping you in games. But, it hurts sometimes in the ability to pull away, even when you are outplaying the opponent.

Heck of a game.  Credit Gate City for about winning the game.  They got the best of us up front  They did an incredible job of neutralizing our speed.  I hope our kids learn a valuable lesson that you can't just show up and win.  Gate City threw some vicious licks on us.  As for the Jenkins kid, he is all that is advertised.  Actually, that's not true.  He's far, far more than advertised.  There is no way in one can tell me and make me believe this kid can not play MAJOR, FBS level slot WR with that speed and those hands.  We have some guys on our team that have track speed.  There were a few times when we were in perfect position defensively on some of those sweeps with Jenkins and our very fast defenders had the perfect angle, and the Jenkins kid would just "outrun" the angle.  He has absolutely BLAZING speed.  If this kid isn't offered higher than William and Mary, I will be surprised   
My take away from this game is not necessarily that Radford is "not as good" as thought.  I think we actually are pretty good.  I don't think it's necessarily that Gate City is far, far better than what we thought.  My take away is.......Richlands is the real deal.  They handled Gate City up front and we didn't.  Gate City, slightly got the better of us up front.  For a team (Richlands) that we blew completely out of the stadium about 6 months ago, they in my opinion have completely turned it around and are going to cause problems, major problems up front for Graham and Union in my opinion.  I just can't see Graham or Union beating Richlands by more than 10 points.  Time will tell.  Lastly, this game speaks to the strength of Region D.  Gate City isn't likely a top 6 team, arguably the 7th best team in 2D and they nearly won the game over the team in 2C that is right there with Glenvar and Gretna as the second best team in our Region.  Region D is very, very strong and has some great football teams.  

I wasn't able to go last night, but sounds like GC played Tennessee High pretty tough (heard it was 5-3 but not confirmed). I'm sure we'll find out more in the benefit game next week but that was at least encouraging. 

The Gate City LL has a lot of Tennessee kids that come and play and then go back to Tennessee and play middle school and high school. I hope that some of the kids hang around now that the Sullivan County consoladation has occured and maybe some of the kids will play football as well as Basketball. Football in SW Va is changing and not for the good because of the population declines and the lack of interest by the kids. The parents are scared to death by the CTE data and other safety concerns and the kids just have other things they care more about than football.we are  expecting our first grandson in September and our son who played high school football has already said he would steer him away from football. These are the times that we live in and we might as well get used to it.

Surprised me when I saw Radford on there. 

Watched the first half of this game. Was really impressed with the sportsmanship number 4 for Appo was showing.

Watching some of their games this year I noticed their sportsmanship several times. Pretty impressive. Appomattox Football kinda reminds me of Grundy Wrestling. When you go to Grundy for the Aggie Skeens or a dual there's not a person there that doesn't treat you like family. By the time you get back to Oakwood you realize everyone on the team got pinned in the first or second round and you somehow have a smile on your face because of how nice they are.

Twitter is back 

I agree. There is nothing wrong with this name change. If you look back you realize he was not a good person.

You have 8 posts on this site and 2 of them are bashing a teenager.
 
You are likely the parent/relative of one of the backup QBs....but if you aren’t, then you seriously need to re-evaluate your priorities in life. 

Two tickets for football player parents. Band members and cheerleaders get to be there but no tickets for parents. 

Says the person with WVSSAC crews. 😂😂
