Very interesting OpEd! https://www.dailyprogress.com/opinion/opinion-commentary-a-voice-from-the-past-outlines-a-plan/article_b9e35df8-c8cc-11e8-9228-73d89bf86a0a.html "If you were to take the Rural Horseshoe and hold it up against the Golden Crescent, the contrasts are stunning," Baliles said. "Two Virginias! If the Rural Horseshoe were considered a separate state, it would be tied for dead last with Mississippi and West Virginia for educational attainment levels — dead last for citizens with high school diplomas; dead last for citizens with college degrees. Think about that."

Dyer didn't hire Derrick. Derrick was basketball and baseball coach at Fort Chiswell for a decade before Dyer came to Fort Chiswell. Dyer was at Rural Retreat.

I grew up down the road from Dyer and Derrick. Their dad coached me and my brother for many years. I don't know the status of Wythe County politics but this doesn't sound like the family I have known for 35 years. Derrick replaced coach Jonas as the head basketball coach well over a decade ago at Fort Chiswell while Dyer was the assistant principal at Rural Retreat. Derrick has also been the baseball coach for 12 years. Dyer has only come over to Fort Chiswell in the past couple of years. I'm not certain that rises to the level of "nepotism" given they were at different schools on opposite ends of the county for much of their early careers. Maybe I'm missing something!

Region B has 10 schools but 3 don't field football teams so, this is correct. Sussex, Surry and Franklin are moving from Region A to Region B next cycle to give the playoff format more balance.

1. Bluefield 2. Ridgeview 3. Pulaski 4. Graham 5. Union 6. Chilhowie 7. Galax 8. Richlands 9. Radford 10. Mount View Seems like some of y'all have forgotten, Galax beat Radford by 3 scores a few weeks ago, at Radford! 😉

The JV/MS kids are equally as impressive. They have boatloads of talent coming into the varsity program over the next couple of years. I'm curious to see what they decide to do given Grayson is dropping to Class 1. Being the lone Class 2 team in an all Class 1 district would be a tough spot to be in.

Josh has done extremely well given the hand he was dealt. Having the head coach resign 3 weeks before the start of the season would be difficult for anyone to overcome. I was very impressed with them Friday night.

Fort lost Jukubiak in the first series of the first game of the season. Losing Brown as well will be a lot to overcome. Fort was very well prepared for Galax and gave them all they wanted for a half. The wheels kind-of fell off when Galax scored two touchdowns in the opening 3 minutes of the second half. Take away a turnover and a miscue on kickoff return and Fort would have been in position to win against Galax. Tazewell should win this game but I think it will be closer than most people expect.

That’s just obscene!

I've slept on it, very well too I might add! Let's try a different tact and see if we can both be civilized adults, shall we? By starting a topic titled "Richlands Controversy", you are opening up the potential for a free-for-all. I hope you can understand that. It may not have been intentional but of all the topics that tend to go very south in a hurry, anything slamming Richlands tops the list. Usually by a troll attempting to create chaos. Given you frequent the other site far more than this one, I attempted to head something off before it got started. In mentioning Ryan in my opening post, I simply meant he is a proud Richlands alumn and supporter as well as a moderator on this board. I felt like the topic needed to be monitored for the potential of it needing to be locked before it went off the rails. As for the thread on the other site, I have re-read the entire thing and came away with the same conclusion. Whether intentional or not, it felt as if you and a couple others were ganging up on me over something you were all completely wrong about. Here is further proof in the links provided. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/tebow-bill-defeated-by-virginia-education-committee/ https://www.richmond.com/news/virginia/government-politics/general-assembly/republican-led-education-committee-defeats-tebow-bill/article_90377982-7547-5e48-9d0e-d40004a82163.html Homeschool kids are not, nor have they ever been, counted toward public school enrollment figures in Virginia. As a matter of fact, the last 3 governors of Virginia have stated publicly, they would veto any bill that were to make it through the state House and Senate for signature into law. Grayson's enrollment figures aren't fluctuating very much as a result of homeschool children either way. The VBOE website states Grayson has 93 total homeschool children residing in the county. 93 kids spread across 13 grade levels would average out to be roughly 7 kids per grade level. So, if the Tebow law were in effect in Virginia, 28 kids wouldn't be much of a change for Grayson. Full disclosure, I was born and raised in Grayson County and a Grayson County High School graduate. Despite what has happened in this thread, this board is really far more welcoming and far less judgmental of the Appalachian stereotype than the other site. That's why we like it here far more than the other site and want to protect it from the random troll from over there. It happens far more frequently than you think. Welcome to the board. Please stay and enjoy and hopefully, we can put this fiasco behind us! Feel free to PM me for further civil discussion if you would like.

You may not have said all of it but it was in pretty equal thirds between the three of you guys. You certainly seemed awfully eager to back your buddies play!

Maybe I should change my username to “threecat” and “break it down Barney style” for you while your buddies “ win the internet for the day!” Should I keep going or has this been enough of a refresher for you?

Disagree all you wish. Anyone on here can attest to me being accepting and respectful of differing opinions. What I won’t stand for is bullying and ridicule!
