Big Orange 1 10 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Can we dub this week as Rivalry Week in SWVA ? John Battle - Abingdon (The pride of Washington Co. at stake.) Tazewell - Richlands (Tazewells "bowl game", if you will.) Clintwood - Powell Valley (LPD legendary programs fight for the LPD) St. Paul - Castlewood (Good ole fashion, just dont like each other and only a couple of miles apart) There must be others. What does everybody think about these and the others I failed to mention? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

battleftbl 42 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 we like honaker up here at exit 7. Great atmosphere, great games, great gates. They just have a bunch of hardnosed kids that play hard for 4 quarters. Nothing fancy, just hardnosed football. We have atleast 2 more seasons of playing them. I'm Hoping that the series continues long after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only speak for myself here, but I don't think Richlands hates Honaker. Our communities actually get a long pretty well. We want to beat them because they are on the schedule. But I don't think they are hated like some other teams we play. I'm sure there are some from Richlands that may hate them but I don't think so as a whole. Any other Blues fans have an opinion here because I may be in the minority here ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hokiefan1712 10 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 The Twin Valley-Hurley game is a big rivalry game has been since they started playing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Orange 1 10 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 In the 70's Va High and Gate City was as big as it got in SWVA. The VA High - Tenn High used to be huge too. The games were alot more competitive, it was always the last game of the year. Bon fires, snake dances on State Street, freezing cold temps, now its just an annual butt kickin.

rebel1 35 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 I wouldn't say Hurley "hated" Honaker. I would say it is one of the (for lack of a better word) "friendliest" of the district rivalries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In retrospect that does make alot of sense.... Richlands and Honaker are very similiar very egotistical... not very in touch with reality... think that the County revolves around them.... I've played against, and beaten both Richlands and Honaker in varying sports.... nothing sweeter than putting that reality check in for them... Don't quote me I may be wrong, but I think that collar popping originated from Richlands.... anyone know for sure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm sure nothing makes you feel better than the thought of bringing others down to your level......

MrSocko 136 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 I wouldn't say Hurley "hated" Honaker. I would say it is one of the (for lack of a better word) "friendliest" of the district rivalries. Hurley dislikes Haysi more than Honaker. Colley is arrogant and it rubs off on his players. Honaker and Hurley were at E&H football camp and they discussed there dislike for Haysi.

If you think a reality check is losing a game in a high school sport then you have a lot to learn. When you grow up and figure this out come back and will talk. And one other thing no know one around hear thinks the County revolves around them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
