1inStripes 932 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Holston also would have had to come up with fencing for around the field before Saturday to play at home. I believe that is a prerequisite for hosting a state semifinal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1inStripes 932 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 I thought when I played against Holston in high school they had a fence all the way around it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lohead 10 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 I believe I was told the fences were taken down so they can put hedges around the field a la Georgia Bulldogs. Could be wrong but I have heard that from a few people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VivaFutbol 10 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Another thing for Holston might be field goal nets. If you get a good kicker there, they can easily hit it to the road and lose many a football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WE BETTER GET OUR ANNOUNCER! IF NOT, I'M GOING TO PICKET THE VHSL OR WHOMEVER ELSE WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE. SURELY, David will announce. If not, why not just have it at UVa Wise?

alwaysacavalier 10 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Not quite right.Your admin. HAS the say as to where... they coulda done like Essex (seating-800) or Poquoson last year and brought in portables. They coulda picked PH or Abingdon. But they picked E&H, THEN all the VHSL did was rubber-stamp it. As to WHY E&H & not Ab or PH - my guess is that the admins are taking a jab at the SB. Bringing in portable seating that is ADA approved costs money...a lot of money. Our county is suffering with severe budget cuts just like the rest of the school districts in this state. Maybe our administration thought it would save someone their job in the long run if they didn't spend that money on seating for a football game. We do not know all the factors that must be considered for these decisions. Stop speculating and deal with the fact that we are playing at Emory. The coach is thrilled with it and so are the players. Isn't that what this is all about...these young men? They got us to this point. Let them enjoy this experience. GO BIG RED! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VHSLhelper 571 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 (edited) Speculating? I said "my guess". Not even an opinion. Nothing behind it. Just like a score... it's a guess... far from speculating. Why ADA approved? What's involved? Essex is bringing in portables. Poquoson did last year. Don't think temps have to meet that requirement. (yes, I'm speculating again.) And how much does that cost? Paying 2 guys 2 days to move them in, then back from whatever field they came from, plus gas. Maybe some local business woulda donated a trailor, or the guys, or the gas... might not have cost the SB a penny. (Gee, I just can't stop speculating, can I?) "Deal with the fact"??? Huh??? You obviously have me confused with someone who gives a rats about it. I don't care where they play. Coulda played at Galax for all I care. But if Lebanon wasn't so close, I might have went to this game, since I knew some Damascus girls years ago and know the band director (AGAIN, I'm speculating, since I don't know for sure if UD's still there). Emory would have actually been closer for me, esp. if I went down 80. Edited December 4, 2009 by VHSLhelper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those of us who "spouted off" without knowing the facts are uninformed, to put it nicely, and we put our keyboards in action without thinking it through. We were wrong. It will be fun! Coach Adams put it best in this morning's paper by giving credit to Coach Matlock in saying that at this point in the season, it's not about the communities it's about giving the guys the opportunity to play in the best facility available. He is right too. Congrats to the Cavs, Congrats to the coaching staff - great job this year, and can't wait for tomorrow! Go Cavs!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From thefreedictionary.com: speculate - talk over conjecturally, or review in an idle or casual way and with an element of doubt or without sufficient reason to reach a conclusion; Synonyms: guess, venture, pretend - put forward, of a guess, in spite of possible refutation; Sounds to me like "my guess" and "speculate" are really the same thing...
