Bluefield_Rules 46 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 What is it with all the "Wave" nicknames for high school teams in Southwestern Virginia? There certainly aren't any oceans around here, so what's the story behind it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djr4hurleyfb 12 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 The expectations may not be high and the cupboard may seem a little thin (in comparison to years past), but Grundy has consistently been a strong team for well over the last 10-12 years. I don't see anything changing this year, but teams do have down years. Could this be Grundy's? Very well might be. Is it going to be? I don't think so. This team has a lot of players who have seen Varsity action since they were Freshmen. They should be strong, and should have a good season. I think Grundy beats Clintwood; even if they shouldn't, they'll still pull it out. Just a hunch. I may be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djr4hurleyfb 12 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 Pretty soon, one of the oceans will file a lawsuit, claiming that all the Wave nicknamed teams are degrading and stereotypical of all ocean waves. As for the Red Waves and Brown Waves, both of those bring up two bad thoughts that would be just too terrible to write about here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Type "Beavers" in on a Google Picture Search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrundyWinsAll 10 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 I think the wave references goes back to the use of a splash dam to transport lumber down river. A dam would be built backing the river up, the logs were tied together, then the dam would be blown up releasing the "wave" to be rode to the destination, Around here it was pikeville. Yes, I did say rode. Someone had to ride the logs . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
