That ship has sailed. He's perfectly content riding his bicycle around downtown Blacksburg. Leave the man alone!!!

Some obvious holes in your plan, there. He's 66 years old and hasn't coached in 27 years, 28 by the start of next season. He never once managed to last 3 years in his brief coaching career without being suspended or fired. Not sure how his past transgressions help anyone from out-of-town respect the Blue Tornado? Likely the exact opposite. But for sheer entertainment value, what the hell? Hire the man. Should be a hell of a ride. Could even lead to threads that rival the one about Chris Akers.

I watched Galax scrimmage Glenvar last week and play the first regular season game against Alleghany (NC) last night. Galax is still missing three players who are on the football team. Two of those will likely start on the basketball team. Still, Galax more than held their own against Glenvar and beat the brakes off of Alleghany last night 61-34. It's hard to tell how good Galax will actually be but I think it's a marked improvement over what's been on the court the past several years. I'm sure Glenvar was missing a few still playing football and Alleghany didn't look very good. Galax will play Christiansburg next week.

Not that it really matters, but CalPreps shows me Galax 28 - Honaker 27.

There was a small project going on when we were there in September. It didn’t have any impact on parking though. That may have changed now but it wasn’t in mid September.

It's a very easy walk from the parking lot to the ticket booth, especially from the handicap parking. There is a slight downhill grade from the parking lot to the ticket booth but nothing difficult. The visitor stands are beyond the ticket booth to the right and nearest to the parking lot. The whole way is nice fresh asphalt and concrete. One of the easier stadiums to get into and out of I've ever been to.

Recruiting happens everywhere, including RH. I don’t believe CCC spent his formative years in Augusta County schools. I suspect several more in recent years didn’t either. I will admit, “don’t hate the player, hate the game” applies here. VHSL should have a smallest classification set aside for schools like Bath, Craig, Bland, Burton, etc. The smallest schools in the state should’t be competing with Riverheads, Galax, or George Wythe. Solve this whole issue by setting aside a division for the tiny schools, then divide the state into 3 or 4 even divisions.

I’m not a hater. You can look at other recent threads on this site where I’ve openly rooted for Riverheads to be successful this season. I’ve also been front and center suggesting RH would have been very nearly as successful in Class 2 the past 8 years as they were in Class 1. But professionally, I have seen the county legislative agendas over the past 15 years. Redrawing boundaries seems to be a common occurrence in Augusta County. Something that isn’t very common in other counties in Virginia. Seems a bit suspicious to me when that coincides with where the county high schools compete. But I digress….

I will never underestimate Crist getting less out of more than any other coach in this area.

This is just my opinion so, it’s sure to be completely wrong. This is also assuming the flat-as-hell team that played Grayson to end the regular season doesn’t show up. The Galax front 7 will be the best group Honaker has faced all season. They are physical, love contact and have two All-State players leading the charge. Ahmad Bryson could also be back from a leg injury he suffered earlier in the season. The DB’s are much better than Galax has had in a few years also. Galax has as good a defense as you’ll find in Class 1 football. They just lack any semblance of depth. Offensively, Galax is quite pedestrian and for whatever reason, don’t utilize the weapons they have. Instead, they settle for the same couple plays over and over and over. On a positive note, they have started to open up the playbook a bit the past two weeks. With that said, Galax has seen some exceptional offensive talent this season in Glenvar, Graham, Radford, Grayson (x2) and George Wythe (x2). I’m not convinced Honaker has seen a defense remotely close to Galax. I think it’ll be a whale of a ballgame but much lower scoring than people may expect. Honaker will score but Galax will provide much more resistance than they’ve seen all season.

I see we’re back to picking on poor Will again!?!?!

Augusta County decide to tweak the boundary lines again when VHSL denied the appeal to play down?

^^^What he said^^^

Wait, I thought the G-Men were being cheated by the officials? Where was the flag on that TD run?

GW has the ball 1st and 10 on the Galax 29 with 0:37 remaining.

With 1:44 remaining in Wytheville, Galax leads 17-14 with the ball 4th and 1 on the GW 22 yard line.

Is it a little kids shoe or did the drunk tailgaters from Grayson head west?

I’m out of reactions so, you get this. 🤣🤣🤣

Galax radio crew reporting the Altavista/Sussex Central score the whole game as if it were a live game as opposed to a final last night. Couple that with referring to multiple teams as “E”ssex, HUNaker, and Ryan Cove. These guys do NO research. GW leads 14-10
