GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 They put AbingTON!!! I'm not an Abingdon fan by any stretch of the imagination, but for the governing body of high school sports in the State of Virginia to make that error is beyond pathetic... ghos88t, BlueRazor, Bluefield researcher and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FalconVoice 38 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 I'm not an Abingdon fan by any stretch of the imagination, but for the governing body of high school sports in the State of Virginia to make that error is beyond pathetic... Believe it or not, this happens quite often. The main reason: there are other Abingdons spelled Abington, but the one for which Abingdon gets its name (in England) is spelled Abingdon. So don't ask me where the other spellings came from, other than, throughout history, people have spelled the same words many different ways and sometimes more than one way has caught on. Still though, as you mentioned, the state governing body should know how to spell high school names within their purview...

trumpet1988 289 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 I got my BA at Berea College in Berea, KY. My sophomore year, Berea High School hosted Haysi. They had Haysi listed as Hayside. redtiger and Jason 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swva_havok_fan 1,261 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 Lol... I remember that. I wonder how many people from Haysi actually made that trip? I didn't go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swva_havok_fan 1,261 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 yours truly was there That was a long trip I'm sure. Why did we play them anyway? If I remember right, they didn't come to Haysi the following year. It was a one and done thing. WaveFan09 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trumpet1988 289 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 I walked from my dorm to the community school and watched it. As a Powell Valley grad I was glad to watch some football with other Southwest Virginia people from close to home. Berea was rough. They are traditionally the opposite of powerhouse.
