All in good fun.  Of course I respect Giles and their tradition and the train horn.  I don't like the announcements about the noise makers either.  I remember the days when all the teams had cowbells, air - horns jugs of rocks , those (vu - vu zela's - not sure if I spelled that right).  Just a little rib poking, all in fun of course.

However bad you think it is, it’s worse. 

This thread is so old, it used to smoke Salem Lights back when they were still called Roanoke County Milds. 

All (I think) the teams that have won a VHSL title 2004-present

I attempted to translate Dook's post. Not to brag, but I'm somewhat fluent in backwoods gibberish of the mentally challenged.  The last sentence was confusing, until I remembered Poca sits in the shadow of an AEP power plant. 
Just'n wunt to applegize.  Eye m coatchin one mo time. Up'n her n Poker.  Eye m a DOT . SEW kew!   Dook iz sew koo.  Bye da wave! Unk Vern teared up, dat 70 sum figurez aloud. 1 mo ting.  Dots R powr waze inning a sintcents! 
Just want to apologize. I'm coaching one more time. Up here in Poca. I'm a DOT. So Cool. Dook is so cool. Bye Wave! Uncle Vern teared up, that 70-some figure allowed. One more thing. Dots are power waves in a sense. 

For all intents and purposes, it looks like the top 4 are pretty settled in 2A-West. Still some movement in 5-8 to be had. 1A-West can still shuffle around with Honaker and Grayson Co the odds on favorites for #1 seeds.

After seeing Grayson Co take down Bluefield, I really like their chances against GW and Galax. Previously, I expected them to lose one of those. That will help Union in the race for the 2A - West overall #1 seed. If both Union and Radford take care of business, which is expected, they could be separated by as many as 12 pts(Radford) or as few as 1 pt(Radford or Union). Bears definitely need some help from Richlands.
Alleghany, Glenvar, James River, Patrick Co, Floyd Co, Carroll Co are non-factors for Radford as these teams play each other and the Bobcats will get 2 pts for each game regardless of the outdcome. Same is true for Lee, JB, Abingdon, Ridgeview and GC for Union.
So, assuming Grayson Co goes 10-0, that takes 4pts away from Radford by defeating GW and Galax. The remaining games of consequence are:
Tazewell/Giles
Ft Chiswell/Giles
Va High/Lebanon
Va High/Marion
Richlands/Galax
Richlands/Marion
SH/DB
Graham/Pulaski
TS/RC
Central/Grundy
There are several paths to get Union to the #1 seed, but these are the most realistic. Giles loses to both Tazewell and Ft. Chiswell, Science Hill over DB, TS over RC, Va High loses to Marion OR Lebanon, Graham over Pulaski. 
Now, couple those games with Central over Grundy and Richlands over Marion.....OR.....Grundy over Central, Marion over Richlands, BUT...Richlands over Galax.
Lots of ifs and buts in there, however, it is possible.
Next 3 weeks will be very exciting to watch!

Keep an eye on the 2025 schedule cycle 

No, it's not. There would be a problem IF....again....IF it's Union and Radford wants it at Salem and Union says hold up, that's further than Radford by a good amount and we ain't doing that. If....again....it's Union or Graham or whoever, the D school has some say in the game not being FURTHER east of Radford, but not nearly as much say if the game is around the Radford/Bburg/Cburg area or closer west, for example, Mitchell Stadium. 
Hers the thing though. If you are Turner or Palmer and Radford proposes Salem which is further than Radford, do you say no? I would bet, the answer would be..."yes." Why? If you are Turner or Palmer, what better way to have your kids familiarity with Salem and what "could" be. Your tell your kids, 'see this field, work your ass off today and you are right back on this field in 7 days playing for a state title." So, even though Salem is further than Radford for a Union, Graham or Ridgeview or Tazewell in the semi's, it's still very tempting for the Region D teams and not easy for them to say "no" when you consider the possible benefits it can provide your kids.

Prior to last score from VHS, Richlands had several chances where they shouldn't have went out of bounds that would have saved the last play possibly from happening.  On the last score, Richlands has 2 on trips side to defend while the safety was just hangin out in the middle of the field.  corner did the best he could, but should have grabbed the kid not allowing any catch.  One more play would have been played but I'm sure Richlands would've given the option. Richlands looked better than they did at the beginning of the season but VHS looking a little rough.  Maybe just an off night for the cats. Just bad awareness all the way around on Richlands D.

Jenkins did beat Phelps I think....
edit:  Nope, haven't played Phelps yet.  They play them in their final game.  They SHOULD beat Phelps.... or it may be 0-0 in 65 OT's till it's finally called a deadlock.
edit 2:  Actually Phelps beat Bland... so sorry to ruin your hopes V-Cats... Lol

Well there goes our quality win 😄

Your honor, the defense rests
