Sleepin nuts 27 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Starting dates do not matter. All teams will have the same number of practices before their fist scrimmage. Some coaches had their teams start back on Thursday but they will do fewer 2 a days than the teams that went back on Monday. The numbers on the 2 teams I have seen so are Northside with 90-95 and Cave Spring with 45-50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great City 210 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 Judging from the team picture today, it looks like Gate City will have around 53 players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
be4g-men 11 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 Graham looks to be just over 40 in uniform, 3 kids in street clothes and 1 on vacation. Could wind up with 45 -47. That's more than the last few years and they are big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance 228 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 Grundy had a couple of injuries or freak accidents, whatever you want to call it the first day...lost 2 or 3 kids that should be back ...and a few more that should be out soon that couldnt make it to the first few days for various reasons. I figure they should end up with around 25-30? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance 228 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 went to Honaker yesterday for Media day...they had kids lined up from the goal line past the 50 yard line taking pics...and about 20+ SR's....some good sized kids. They should be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V-Cats 472 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 Anyone know how many Virginia High has out this year? Someone told me 80 but I don't think that's possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redtiger 1,740 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 I drove by JI Burton today, 42-47. I didnt stop to count for sure. Those are pretty weak #s for Grundy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulldogs52 482 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 All schools could have those numbers, It makes me sick to sit and think of all the talent sitting in THS that don't even come out to play! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtiger 1,740 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 This is a little off track but with the talk of school size it seems appropriate. Several years ago when JIB was REALLY good i went and watched them play JJK, well we bailed at half (It was an oldfashioned cow tromping) and went down to BSG to watch Richlands come from behind to beat PV, anyway JIB had about 50 players, 50 band members, 15 cheerleaders and a full volleyball team(Im guessing 12-15 players). Thats right at 130(probably just under 50% of the schools enrollment at the time) involved in something during the fall. VERY impressive, its hard for me to understand how big schools just cant get kids involved in something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixcat 2,919 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 According to the Galax Gazette, Carroll County had 70+ turn out for varsity and 40+ for jv. That would be double the average number that turned out under the previous coaching staff. The turnout was so unexpected, they had to order more helmets.

This was Graham in my day, also. 110 in the band, 60 in football, a full varsity + JV cheerleading squad, a full varsity + JV volleyball squad, and the county scholastic competitions. At one point, Graham and Richlands had the highest two (band members / school enrollment) ratio in Virginia. I know that for a fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 The Graham band of today pales in comparison to the Big G Marching Bands of yesteryear. Also, the last time I saw Richlands' band, they had but a fraction of members that they used to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtiger 1,740 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 I hear about 30 for Haysi 9-12. Thats probably up a little from last season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the last time I saw Richlands' band, they had but a fraction of members that they used to have. Both Graham's and Richlands's bands are shells of their former selves. Graham's, because the transition from Mike Brown was bungled by literally every person involved with it. Richlands's, because of Swartz. Even as a G-Man, the Richlands situation is more heartbreaking. That was a Top-10 marching band in this entire state in its heyday. Just heartbreaking.

May not have affected them too much. Richlands though, had a very sad situation with how they turned out now. It's sad how participation has gone down in a lot of school activities. redtiger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trumpet1988 289 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 Both bands made the atmosphere more like a small college game than high school. Now, not so much... At the annual Lonesome Pine Band Competition, when both bands came, no one had a chance. Grand Champion and Reserve Grand Champion were deservedly awarded to both.
