SWVA SOCCER RECIPE
Ingredients: 
1-22 Unskilled and overly aggressive players
2 Woefully ignorant, yet vocal fan bases
1-2 Obnoxious coaching staffs
1-3 Incompetent officials
Instructions:
Mix thoroughly and place both fan bases on the same side of the field for 90 minutes.
Watch from a safe distance and ENJOY!
 
 

So what is the score of the union-graham game?

Coach Grande was a top notch guy, coached myself and older brother. He is currently at Iowa State doing big things with their coaching staff. Coached at E&H and Ferrum; tough lose for VA high school guys moving on to the next level.

Everyone knows this job is going to Chris Akers:)

Isn't Akers a Tazewell Co native? There's great potential for overlap in this thread! Haha 

Johnson County, TN 15 - Holston 6 2nd Quarter

This topic is old enough to vote.

Keep an eye on the 2025 schedule cycle

Former Union QB got his first start for Dobyns Bennett Friday night. 

Anybody else see the video clip posted from NFHS footage? What are the chances that was John Paul Justus’s last game as head coach? It was some kind of spectacle. 
 
I know we all have our moments but man, that was a bad moment.

Also has a great “mother figure.”

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.

Wait a minute...
I thought Gate City was homegrown and Big Bad John Marshall was the only one benefiting from transfers?

Don't trust him?  I've named my kid after him.

That's my fear.  It is always a high spirited game and if Holston doesn't exercise some discipline, the flags will kill them before PH's running game does.

Yes, the flu may be comeback player of the year with its performance so far! Lol

Yep.  No audio either.
 

Dang boys it looks like the International Space Station is supplying the video footage of tonight's VH game. @goose you were not kidding!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

They need to go ask their big brother Abingdon. 😆

I bet they just posted in this message...

First take a big deep breath and hold it for 5 seconds and exhale. I like the banners but I am not sure there are 27 street lights in Gate City to hang one for each championship, if there are them honor them with a street light. Gate City is suffering from the perfect storm of apathy, changing culture and the death "of the greatest generation"...let me explain! First the support issues Gate City athletics were supported by a mix of "old money" "coal money" and "community money" all that has changed. If Gate City needed anything the Smith family, the Kilgore family or the Humphrey family just wrote a check to get it, but the old money has died off, the coal money has dried up and the community just doesn't care that much any more. The opioid drug crises has crippled families and kids just don't care about playing sports like they used too. As a late 80's Alumni of Gate City you didn't need to display pride, we had it in our hearts and wore it on our sleeves at football games. The last decade of GC football has been horrible but there have been bad decades before and if they never win another State Championship at anything they have given me the the best days of my life (I have witnessed 4 of the 5 state championships) (and numerous other titles) and for that I am forever grateful. The Community support will return when the wins do in football. But by all means honor each state champion and also honor the 6 VHSL Hall of Famers who played or coached at GC ( Fry, Baker, Colobro, Reed, Sheets and Bishop) and realize that there are more HOFer's coming (Mac and Coach Gardner)....The banners are a good start but Basement Baller you are now the generation that must carry the torch and quit complaining about the past and do something for the future. Lead by example and fight on! Start an Alumni Group and raise money to buy the banners and the paint for the murals. Oh and I am proud to be from a Hick Town like Gate City!

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. 

That means I can go watch Bluefield Friday and influence officials Saturday ---- I mean do the P. A.
