Seems like Union has an escort to the field before every game and no one cracks on them? They get praised for the awesome community support. 

 

Good for Tazewell 

Well it's not quite the same, but if someone thinks that's silly, I wouldn't get offended and argue.

I recall Graham's coach Williams going for it on 4th and 1 from his own 14 against Union a few years back and not making it.  I think that was Grahams first possession in that game.  Baffling 

That's a great example of bad coaching...

Union has a valid reason, but they make a big show of it. Not much difference.  The community is excited, good

That's exactly my point as well. The issue wasn't going for it on fourth down, it was going for it backed up at your own 12 in the second quarter of a low scroing, defensive game, basically giving away three points if you don't get it and in a game this close and low scoring, three points could be the difference and it was.

Anybody remember that year when E&H beat UVA-Wise (CVC) with that fake punt from their own 11 yard line?   Two memorable games in that series for sure, with that one and the punt return for the win for UVA-W at Wise.  I for one will be glad when they take this "cold war" rivalry back to the field when E&H joins the SAC.

Don't they do it every game? Same for narrows they may do it every home game...I know they do everytime Giles plays at narrows

Tazewell does it once every 15 years...big difference

Just home games, they dress at the high school and bus the players down to the field with a police and fire escort.  Nothing wrong with it, but its intentionally showy

Teams can do what they want...but I think it's stupid to have police and fire escort for a regular season game...that's just me though

I guess the thought is every game is important, idk. This is the same bunch that get to games 7 hours before Kickoff to get their exact seat when I can get there 45 minutes before and set 2 seats down from them 🤷‍♂️

There's not really a whole lot else going on around here give us something, it's not like the streets are full with people screaming like we won state it's literally just an escort not really a big deal

1. 7 hours is not accurate at all. If you get there 7 hours before a game you aren’t gonna be top 10 in line. 😂

 

 

2. for those of us that do that, it has nothing to do with seats. More of living in an area that has nothing else going on and nothing else to do. Some of the best times I’ve ever had has been sitting at the gate. And it has nothing to do with HS football, just spending time with people I enjoy being around.

That's not entirely accurate. Only the police escort the football team to the park. The fire truck escorts the band and cheerleaders. 😂

You'll get no arguments from me if you consider some of the things Union does a little silly or overboard. But if the kids are into it, cool. It's not for me so it doesn't matter what I think.
