[/ QUOTE ] You should know the difference between the terms "alumni" and "alma mater." I'm guessing you actually meant to use the latter term instead of the former. Actually, it might not be a bad idea to let alumni suit up for the Falcons. Chip Thayer and the boys from back in the day could probably still bring some stuff.

[/ QUOTE ] Your welcome! Also, maybe the reason Washington Co. hasn't hired a football coach yet is because THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT FOOTBALL...Abingdon is a SOCCER TOWN...football is just a reason to provide the Soccer Team with a good field to play on...

Hacker 82 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Isn't it odd that Blacksburg can be competitive most years in most sports, including soccer. Maybe the folks in Abingdon need to take a field trip and learn a few tips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keeper1 10 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 i dont deny abingdon struggles to get to .500 in football most years. that being said, theyll probably beat you in most any other sport. calling abingdon a 'soccer school' does injustice to all the other winning programs there. gregory did not leave, he was fired. blevins is leaving to become the vp at chilhowie, a job that comes with a pay raise and higher administrative position. this kind of thing happens all the time. abingdon has no polo team or, indeed, even a water polo team. polo is for rich kids. you might check virginia high.

hoops247 10 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 You know, I really don't have a dog in this fight, but I would bet that Abingdon is consistently better than any SWD school in just about every sport besides football. The Abingdon hoops team was down this year, but better than any team in the SWD. Their baseball team has swept the SWD the past couple years. They have better tennis teams, cross country, girls basketball, girls and boys soccer, golf, Not wrestling-but almost, so, really, besides football, the soon to be defunct highlands is much stronger than the swd. No question about football, but overall, the Highlands is much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcecilgolf 11 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 Actually golf is not a tossup, we have beaten AHS in every match except for the Region, where you all beat THS by one. SWD golf has been much better than Highlands the past few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoops247 10 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 yea, that's like saying we didn't win the state championship game, but we beat the team that won it, so we're better than the state champion. but, even if the highlands and swd are even in golf, the highlands is still a stronger district---minus football of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
get_the_duck 10 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 No way the highlands district is stronger than the SWD, thankfully that arguement is about to end. The new SWD next year is going to be legit. Great teams in every sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoops247 10 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 what are you talking about?? just look at the districts head to head...the highlands has dominated the swd in pretty much every sport besides football. wrestling is grundy's, but come on.....its not even close in all the other sports.

hoops247 10 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 I'm glad I'm not the only one willnig to admit the truth. In football, the SWD is dominatiing, but in almost every other sport the Highlands prevails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
