rabidbeaver 90 Report Share Posted October 4, 2019 This is why Princeton is a losing football program among other issues. I recall in 2017 I believe, when during the WVSSAC football playoffs their was a possibility that Bluefield was going to have to play their game at Princeton due to Bluefield College having a scheduled game at Mitchell at the same time. Fortunately the issue was resolved and it didn't happen. I had a friend on Facebook say that Princeton almost achieved their ultimate dream of hosting a home playoff game. I thought that was funny.

My friend was making a reference that the only way Princeton can host a playoff game is when other teams use there stadium. Princeton went 1-9 last year so they didn't make the playoffs, and on rare occasions that they do, it is always on the road due to their low seedings in the playoffs.

Clearly, children have been hurt, why further hateful relationships. A peace offering should be made to forge a relationship that brings forth enduring peace and harmony! How about the peace offering of you going to the chair for that stupid comment...that'll forge a relationship... 9 hours ago, stu_bean said: Maybe on that. They were all piled together when he went down so I'm not accusing but easily could have been an extra twist in there. Also love how the family of the chain gang is calling out tazewell players for being dirty after the fact: Maybe not, but a message was sent from the parents of the injured boy from the hospital that #6 better hurry up and get on the bus!!! Tazwell came out on the first play with intentions of hurting our boys! Our kids were punched, pinched, kneed after they was down, the coaches repeatedly said things to our kids, but we are the dirtiest team they ever played according to the parents. My family has run the chains for 40 years so I know what is said and done on the visitor sidelines. That is typical Princeton...always saying the other guy started it first or was doing it too. I've heard that shiz for years. Ryan4VT, Deleted Account, cityofRaven and 1 other 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody remind me. Princeton is still ineligible for the playoffs regardless of their record. What was the reasoning for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The WVSSAC mandates that you must play at least six teams that are in the same classification or higher as you. Princeton has five AA schools on there schedule this year. The AA schools are Bluefield, Oak Hill, Tazewell, Graham, and James Monroe. Deleted Account 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Princeton was under the understanding that Oak Hill would be in AAA at the beginning of the season, and they weren’t classified as such. Whoopsie daisy!

Is it also true the reason they have a hard time picking up some local AAA teams like Beckley is because they are banned from playing teams that were in the conference that they dropped out of for five years?

Bluefield researcher 1,195 Report Share Posted October 4, 2019 Princeton only has four AAA. Nicholas County is also AA. The ban on Princeton playing MSAC teams is over next year and they can play anyone that they want. They will be playing Woodrow Wilson for sure.

Bluefield researcher 1,195 Report Share Posted October 4, 2019 Princeton has had some respectable teams over the years. They have actually hosted 3 playoffs games of their own at home and are actually 2-1 in those games. They beat Morgantown in 1995 (18-0) and beat North Marion in 2002 (14-7) before losing to Parkersburg South (8-9) the following week.
