Lance 228 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 I'm not familiar with the southwest district playoff schedule. Would Richlands have to face perhaps Christiansburg to take it all this year for a state title? they are the top two seeds in Region IV D3...if they meet it would be for the Region IV title and the winner would move on to State Semi's.

RichlandsAlum 678 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 i thought cburg was division 4? Christiansburg is Division 4. On paper, Richlands should have a pretty clear shot to the regional title in Division 3. Although it's worth noting that the games aren't played on paper.

Jason 299 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 that will be a great day if true. Just wonder how the people at Richlands would like this if it is true. It would probably be the night cap game if it is true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techfan 43 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 I heard the Region IV D3 Title game will be played at UVA Wise as part of a triple header. I can't say if true or not but it wouldn't make the least bit of sense to me if it was true, Richlands had to go to Cave last year and play them on their home field now Richlands earns the right to play at home and they agree to move the game 2 hours away I would be completely shocked if this was anything more than a rumor. Ernie Hicks gives Richlands one of the most clear home field advantages in Southwest Virginia why give that away? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legion Field has been a huge Home Field Advantage to GC in the playoffs too but they have been forced to play at Wise the past two years with the so called #1 seed. With that being said if this is true Richlands could be the next #1 seed to be forced to play at Wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys can still run out of your inflatable football helmet and play sandman...and all that sort of thing...be just like a home game. I can see wanting to play at home as well...but either way i think it would be ok....worst case, if it is at Wise then I still think it would be a good experience for the kids.

I haven't heard anything about it. It is a nice stadiim but it's not the same playing surface. They have 1970's style Astroturf. They do have slightly better lighting though, so I wouldn't be too upset if it were true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RHS1987 10 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 (edited) I heard the Region IV D3 Title game will be played at UVA Wise as part of a triple header. It's my understanding that Richlands has home field through regional semi-finials and will have to travel for regional title game. And I have not heard anything about the title game being at UVA wise. And I don't think any Ronoake team or any team further east would agree to travel that far.

This is the first I have heard of this, and if I were a betting man, I would say that this is only a rumor. With that being said, I really hope they don't move the game. I mean I love Wise, I went to school there, but I really don't see any benefit for Richlands in this. I do however see several negatives. One would be the concession stand. The Richlands Lions Club, which runs Richlands concession stand, would lose a lot of money from missing out on that play-off game...not to mention the school gets 1/4 of the money they bring in. I'm not sure who would run concessions at the game, but I don't see any community organization being able to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume the games were moved there to make sure playing conditions were optimal....I wouldn't think that's a concern at Richlands.

barondawg77 115 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 So Region 4 division 3 championship at Wise? With all this talk, wouldn't it suck for Martinsville and Cave Spring if they both made it? Its posssible... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtiger 1,742 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 Wise makes sense for Region D because its centrally located, it makes absolutely no sense for Region IV because it is WAY farther west than any of those schools. My guess is its just a rumor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason 299 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 Found out last night it is just rumor. But to answer the concession part each team gets the money from it. The Lions club would get to run it and still watch the game had this been true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lions club would get to run it and still watch the game had this been true. I figured as much. But that would have been an interesting situation with the concession stand had it been true. Trying to get everyone's supplies in and out of the stand in between games. Not to mention transporting all the food an drinks from Richlands to Wise.

LegendatLegion 109 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 But, if so the not sure how they work out the concessions. Hopefully if it doesn't end up who did it last year, they ran out of soda before the end of the 1st quarter of the GC game. Yet another reason this one place for the games isn't all it's cracked up to be. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
