Bearcat Dad 439 Report Share Posted September 26, 2018 24 minutes ago, Union_Fan said: I thought my question was pretty simple and fair. No way was it meant to slight Chilhowie whatsoever. That's why I asked for a justification BOTH for AND against. Weigh the pros and cons. Never thought it would have been controversial at all. However, this ^^^^ is what I was looking for. Something other that "cause." Kudos to YOU, sir! It's very hard for me to rank teams when A.) I haven't seen them all play. B.) If they have no common opponents to compare. or C.) They don't have the same schedule. I have been fortunate enough to see both Chilhowie and Union. Union has the definite size and strength advantage. Avery has legit speed but Chilhowie has more team speed. Coaching is pretty even. Union also has the numbers advantage. In my opinion, this is the one big issue when ranking teams from different classes in the same poll. They’re probably not going to play each other. With that said, I think the pros outweigh the cons in doing it this way, and makes for some pretty awesome discussion!

Hokie101 153 Report Share Posted September 26, 2018 I agree. The polls are a good discussion starter for us to have on a message board. Disagreement doesn't always mean disrespecting. We all have our opinions but it's fun talking why one would feel team a is ranked higher then team b. Ultimately, the VHSL doesn't crown champions based on the SWVA Poll so it's all in fun anyways.

The song on the podcast, What is the name and who is it by. Maybe someone can answer that without putting it in the podcast though. Thanks They are from Beckley, WV. The singer is from Tazewell. I’m good friends with those guys and have played in several bands with them over the years. They let us use the song. You can find them here https://m.facebook.com/kindthievesofficial/ They play in our region all the time. I HIGHLY recommend getting out to see them. Amazing musicians.

Thank you sir, The wife and I really like local bands and will definitely look them up. Maybe we could start a thread somewhere on the site and everyone list some local bands they really enjoy.

THS6805 124 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 It's awesome Ryan. I do like the mini helmet. It's part of county history. I like to see all the county schools helmets when they started with logos and colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
