Blake Brown scores from 21 yards out. Galax 34 Narrows 0

Sorry fellas. Had to sell 50/50 tickets until the end of the 1st quarter. Life of a band parent! Galax is dominating the line of scrimmage. Galax leads 28-0 6:57 left in the first half

That's the point, your fact doesn't make it absolute fact! We've had some nasty weather for the past 3 months. Planning for a game time that would benefit everyone involved in playing the game makes the most sense. It wont benefit all of the adults but that's life. Moving the game to Friday does adversely affect some. Having the game on Saturday adversely affects others. People work on Saturdays too!

There are two things I feel compelled to respond to within the post. First, you say "no one said it wasn't the right move" followed by "although the weather as it stands right now doesn't support the move." Those two statements are disjointed and contradictory in nature. Which is it? The right move or the wrong move not supported by the weather forecast? Secondly, who have I attacked? How have I attacked them? I have attempted to express my opinion articulately, fairly and honestly. Mine wasn't the first response. I simply stated what precipitated the move, as expressed to me by an administrator. The first response was "could have and should have been Friday night." Which doesn't solve the initial reason for moving the game, as I pointed out. Nothing "attacking" within this board or the other. I have a proposal. We have known one another for 40 years. We don't particularly care for one another in any capacity. Lets leave it at that and avoid each other on this and the other site! Shall we?

I understand being disappointed and sympathize. As I said on the other board, I'm sorry if your employment doesn't allow you to attend a Friday afternoon game. But that employment status shouldn't place others in potential jeopardy to ensure your ability to attend. This isn't just about the Galax kids or parents. Narrows kids and parents have to travel two hours to get here. I applaud our school coaches and administrators for ensuring they have the safest trip possible. If you look at the weather report for Friday/Saturday and don't see what precipitated this move, then in my opinion, you're either naive or "hopelessly irrational."

Some folks on that other site are pissed at Galax for not playing Friday night or Saturday. Given the circumstances, Galax is doing the responsible thing and I applaud them for it. Some people are just hopelessly irrational. If attending the game is that important to them, take a sick day.

Indeed! No disrespect intended to PH. Just pointing out, moving the game to Friday afternoon is the responsible thing to do.

How many times has that been said over the past 18 years only to have the Patriots end up in the Super Bowl? I'm no Patriots fan by any means, but they are the best managed, best coached organization in profession sports history. Underestimating them seems counterproductive when they already have an advantage over the rest of the league. With that said, nobody is playing as well as the Saints right now. Nobody!

It's my understanding, the move is in an attempt to not have a "worst case scenario." The weather report for the Twin County's for Friday night into early Saturday morning is sleet and freezing rain with a temperature between 30 and 32 degrees. If sleet and freezing rain do occur and force the cancellation of the game Saturday, a Monday game would be a significant disadvantage for the winner having to face Chilhowie on a short week.

Sounds like the one I saw. Embarrassing behavior to say the least.

If it's the same one I saw, it didn't show much of what happened on the field. It did, however, show embarrassing behavior by adults in the stands!

Mallard Creek is 4aa and Mooresville is 4a. I think Mooresville can win two games in the postseason in 4a. Wells has improved them tremendously. If anyone stays with Mallard Creek for 4 quarters this season, I will be shocked. They are ranked well inside the USA Today national poll. Deservingly so!

I don’t have family that play. My nephew attends Hough. They looked to be world beaters until the final two weeks of the regular season. Mallard Creek and Vance beat them handily. Thad Wells team at Mooresville is the 5 seed in 4a. I think they will make a solid run and will be playing for two, maybe three more weeks. I saw Tarboro thrash Mount Airy last season. By all accounts, they are better this season.

No. Same two kids they have rotated all season!

Playing defense in major college basketball is almost always the last thing a freshman grasps. It's hard to comprehend the level of energy needed to be a solid defender at that level. I don't question whether he can become a solid defender. I question whether he wants to become a solid defender. For that, we will just have to wait and see. He was always going to score the basketball. His jumpshot will improve as he gets used to playing against max-effort defenders. He is rushing his jumpshots a bit as a result.

But, but, I thought Gate City was a "one man show" last season? Seriously, congrats to the kid. I saw him at Floyd last season. He played a secondary role to one of the best players SWVA has ever produced. That takes a special set of skills unto itself! Looking forward to seeing him as the centerpiece.

Abingdon will be putting air in the basketballs before halftime!
