smiley 24 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 There is no doubt that Marion is a very good football team,too bad they lack class. It's pathetic that they run the score up on smaller schools & should not even be in Hogo district. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By your rules, we need to kick Abingdon out of the Southwest since they are AAA and everyone else is AA. Marion isn't hugly larger than the others as a whole. We've went over this time and time again. Deleted Account 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redtiger 1,740 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Weve been down this road before. The VHSL placed Marion in the Hogo. If the some of the small schools dont like it then im sure the Mountain Empire or BDD would welcome them. Like it or not for now thats just the way it is Ryan4VT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plywood_King 518 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Team A scores points. Team B doesn't. Team A benches their starters. Team B doesn't. Team A still scores points. Team B still doesn't.Listen, I don't like Marion being in the Hogo, but like it or not, they're not going anywhere; it's a geographical fit. Two of the three forks of the Hogoheegee River (The Holston) start inside of Marion's school district, making them a better geographic candidate than Rural Retreat or George Wythe, who have both been members of the Hogo for 20+ years. Geography is the only concern of the VHSL when it comes to Districts, and unless someone finds a way to pick up and move a town, nothing is going to change them being there. Above and beyond that, I don't know how many players Marion fields, but you would be hard pressed to find a 2A school in the state that fields a smaller team. They're usually matched man-for-man by all the 1A teams in the Hogo, and in the case of George Wythe and Chilhowie, they're probably going to be outnumbered on the roster list.If you somehow think that it's better for the kids' self-esteem for Marion to start kneeling the ball in the 3rd quarter, I'm sure that Coach Carroll would be willing to oblige you, but aside from that, I don't know what more you expect from them.

About time others are starting to notice. Come playoff time they will get the role reversed. KARMA falconfan1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtiger 1,740 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Did Falconman and Southbound change their screen names? The way things are set up now all that matters is the playoffs, districts are just to help fill out a schedule. It actually helps the small schools playing a 2A team.

Chappy 72 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 The way things are set up now all that matters is the playoffs, districts are just to help fill out a schedule. It actually helps the small schools playing a 2A team. You can't get the people from "Saltvegas" and Damacus to understand that. All they want to do is play the "we are so small playing these bigger schools" card. I know I'm from there, I've played it myself in the past. Yes it might be a loss more often than not but it does 2 things; POWER POINTS, POWER POINTS, POWER POINTS, and it is a step up in competition which will better perpare them for the playoffs.

redtiger 1,740 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 If the VHSL had placed Grayson, Carroll and Marion in the Hogo they would have a legit beef but just 1 school ising a big deal with the current setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chappy 72 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Northwood has played Marion every year since Northwood became a school, thats not going to change. As far as classless, as in running up the score when you have the jv's in the game and you still can't stop them, well that just can't be helpped. I have my own thoughs about the classieness of the wrong side of walker mountain (Chilhowie/Marion) but that is biased because of where I'm from. I have no doubt they think porely of us as well.

I agree, everyone in the Hogo has played Marion in recent years with the exception of Holston and they already play a 2a school. I mean it's not like they will play them again in the playoffs or in tournements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
