BigD4VT 11 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 I think Abingdon is headed in the right direction. I remember the old days when the Falcons were always at or near the top of an 11 team SWD. It still seems strange to beat them 36-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techfan 43 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 [ QUOTE ] they went for two for some reason and missed  [/ QUOTE ]  It was a bad snap and the kicker just picked it up and tried to run it the best I can remember.  Richlands has played AA schools the last two weeks.

BigD4VT 11 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 [ QUOTE ] y does richlands always beat up on single a schools? for their confidence or something? Â [/ QUOTE ] Abingdon is a 2A school. In fact if the new 4 class model happens they will be a 3A school. Gate City is a 1A school that should be 2A. Honaker could probably move to 2A if they wanted to.

bluekick 11 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 [ QUOTE ] y does richlands always beat up on single a schools? for their confidence or something? Â [/ QUOTE ] Â Richlands plays only three single A schools... Gate City, Honaker, and Lebanon. Gate City has a higher enrollment than Grundy, Graham, and Tazewell. Lebanon, which coincidentally is your school, has a higher enrollment than Grundy and Graham, yet still plays single A. I might add that Lebanon plays eight single A schools. Who was it that beats up on Single A teams again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zach 10 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 Our defense did good, I just hate we have to play more like 3 quarters of defense when offense doesn't help much. But once our offense does decent, we may win games. Richlands really did out man us, and McCracken threw more passes than I thought/remember him doing.

ghs73 157 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 most of the schools that are 1a that you mentioned are bigger than graham in fact i would dare say with exception to the smaller class in 1a a lot are bigger than graham. but why do they play 1a ball and graham stays 2a you would have to ask them but fro graham they like playing bigger schools because when play off time comes that does help you. myself i think that the schools that are larger than graham should ask to play 2 a but most use the travel distance to not. but look at graham where they have gone to play games over the years greenville tenn martinsville welch they will go to where ever they have to to find a team that will play them.

bluekick 11 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 I can see the travel thing with Gate City, but Lebanon is wedged right between two AA schools, Richlands and Abingdon... they're less than an hour away from Tazewell and VA High too.

BigD4VT 11 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 Graham and Grundy could both drop to 1A and likely dominate every year but where would be the fun in that? They choose to "Play Up" for the competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigD4VT 11 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 Lebanon belongs in the SWD where they used to be, and likely will be under the 4A model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghs73 157 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 travel should not be a problem if you want to play the tough teams to make your team a better team but the 1 a teams that you talk about dominate for the most part 1 a and would with the exception of gate city who was a good 2 a school would not do as good in 2 a and use the travel to stay 1 a i feel. but that is my opinion.

clodhopper 10 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 Was'nt Richlands in Division 4 last year? Why did'nt they petition the VHSL to stay division 4 instead of dropping to Division 3? Nobody is stopping Graham, Tazewell, Grundy or anybody else from going A if their enrollment allows it. If Lebanon should be AA and in the SWD, would'nt the VHSL make them do so?

ghs73 157 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 no the vhsl does not make them. if that were the case then graham would be in 1 a long time ago. they chose to play up in classification. i dont think graham would ever go to 1a unless vhsl said either go or dont play football anymore or grahams enrollment went down to that of pocahontas.

EH31 2,518 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 If i was Richlands, I would be happy to be in division 3. There are alot of different reasons, but one of them is (if)when they get past the regionals, they get to host the semi final again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
