Got to schedule a game... but they would be better served by playing Tennessee High. This may be a ploy 😉 THS played two M7 teams this year. It's just that it is a part of Bristol history...
Mt Airy will be leaning heavily on Ernest T Bass this season. STRENGTHS: While best known for his strong and accurate arm, his speed and elusiveness make him a true dual-threat. CONCERNS/WEAKNESSES: Issues with authority make him nearly un-coachable, Vandalism, Academics. OUTLOOK: Despite the legal concerns and apparent illiteracy, Bass remains a top target for UNC.
Congratulations to Graham and Galax for advancing (bring back the title to SWVA) and to Abingdon and Holston on great seasons. As always swvasports.com continues to bring it year after year.
Galax started the 2015 season 1-4 with losses to Glenvar (20-15), Radford (33-26), Wythe (28-27), and Giles (35-24). They won the next 10 games in a row, beating Riverheads 7-6 in the state championship game.
Blacksburg went 5-5 in 2016 with losses to Giles, Salem, PH Roanoke, Hidden Valley and Abingdon. They won the 4A state championship game that season, beating Lord Botetourt, Brookville, Heritage, Phoebus, and Staunton River in the playoffs. You don’t run that postseason gauntlet without being prepared in the regular season.
Virginia High is vastly improved, with a significant improvement within the coaching staff. The schedule needs to be the next thing the school addresses.
VHS should bring back Tennessee High. Should have never been eliminated.
