If administrators can't be more creative than "Central", "Union", or "Ridgeview", they don't need to be in office! Tazewell Co. has enough history and geography that the names could be so unique that there may never be another school with the same name in the US. It's all right there in front of them if they could just see it. And don't let the stupid teenage kids pick the names either, they have no concept of the local culture, geography, and history of the County and they are far from knowledgeable enough to make that decision.

I say the East end of Tazewell County use East River Mountain in some way and the West end utilize the Clinch River.

THS6805 124 Report Share Posted April 9, 2021 Warhawks be good use. I know culture would be great. But have mascot like mavericks, jackrabbits, marauders and vandals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobsburger 25 Report Share Posted April 9, 2021 It would be kind of cool if one of them used Varmints as a mascot, given the history of the Burke’s Garden Varmint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw that they were going to stick with the 250 number from what I read. As far as the team I'm sure the lack of practice is going to hurt them.

I don't really want to speculate as to why a young man won't be available, but I do know a few will be out. Not 100% sure on the reason.

May not be a surprise for Union to give a good run and come away with the win depending on who it is. Still got to pull for the gmen and hope the Dogs come away with it tonight.

I should have been clearer. I meant that each Union player is getting 4 tickets, and Union HS is selling the rest of their allotment on a first come basis. I'm not sure how many they received altogether, but 4 x 50 would be 200 off the top. Bobsburger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
