I have a feeling that the George Wythe game is a home game but the Wythe band calendar says it is in Wytheville. Lol

Kudos to Galax.  Just saw West Stokes when scrolling through that schedule and Wo Nelly, West Stokes is a bad outfit.  Down in 2020 by their standards with the Covid year going 2-4ish, but two of those 4 were nailbiters.  I think West Stokes will be as tough or slightly better than Glenvar and Radford, and not much further down, but a slight notch down from Graham.  Galax has a very solid schedule.  Very impressive.  The ten teams on their schedule better pack a lunch, or it can end in a loss for any of the 2 teams they play.  They will be good enough with their on field talent to possibly win all 10 of those games.  Odds are they slip up at least 1 time, but you never know.

All anyone needs to know about West Stokes, they gave East Surry fits during the 2019 season. East Surry may be the best high school football team I have ever seen play. They destroyed juggernaut Tarboro 56-28 in the state championship game that wasn't that close. That 2019 East Surry team has six player on D1 rosters right now. Three at UNC, two at Appalachian State and one at NC State. Another half-dozen are playing D2 at Wingate, Catawba, Lees-McRae and Lenoir-Ryne. East Surry beat West Stokes 35-10 in 2019 but the score was 14-10 heading into the 4th quarter. 

West Stokes has to be favored but Galax will come prepared.

I was told Bland was not playing a district schedule this year. I was told they refused to play Giles as well. this may be why those schedules are not out yet.

They're refusing to play Giles but yet are playing Narrows non-district and on the road?  Something doesn't stir the Kool-Aid here.

the Giles coach that I talked to shook his head about this situation as well.

Is this some kind of push-back from Bland directed at the VHSL for not approving their move to the Hogohegee?  

Seems like a form of self-sabotage considering VHSL could easily push back by refusing any Bland program from competing in post season play.

Bland in the hogo? That would make for some rough travel times

Cumberland County refused to play Goochland which was in their district a few years back, claiming competitive disadvantage. The VHSL approved that Cumberland did not have to play Goochland. They were getting blown out by 60 or 70 every time they played. Bland could certainly claim the same thing against a number of schools, given their recent issues fielding a team.  But there may be another reason in play.  Does seem a little odd to play Narrows twice, especially with the recent mediocrity of Giles

Bland refusing to play a district schedule while voluntarily agreeing to travel to Rye Cove and Castlewood!?!?!  

Is it really any different than Narrows pulling out of the MED to play Covington, Bath and Parry McClure?

Obviously Bland is rebuilding what little bit of a program they have. Obviously trying to play schools they have a chance to compete. As for Giles and Narrows. You know you are going to lose right now so why not keep relations cozy with a close neighbor that most likely has a better crowd when they come to your place. If I was in their shoes I would probably do the same thing for now and hope not to have to do that for very long.

Narrows changed districts, not that I agreed with it.  Bland, in this scenario, is just ducking theirs without switching.  Apples and oranges.  Try again.

Maybe, but the close neighbor and gate thing still doesnt really hold water.  Giles is 10 mins further away and would bring roughly the same gate or maybe more regardless.  Still not buying what they're selling.

Bland did try to switch districts. VHSL denied them twice just as they denied Giles the first time before acquiescing the second time around.
