I'm telling you right now, if Tazewell Co. doesn't get creative with school names when consolidation time comes, I'm going to be pissed!!!  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.

West Tazewell Kudzu and the East Tazewell Stink Bugs.

And please, no "Twin" or use of the color purple. 

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

Problem is that requires common sense and that seems to be as rare as anything in today's age.

Come on now Twin Tazewell Purple Dragons would be a great name.  Puff the magic Dragon could be the mascot

I've heard some rumblings of Graham not being at full capacity this weekend. Any truth to this?

Team or fans?

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.

Team. Missing a couple players. Some starters. 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.

That won't be good for them then.  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.  Want that rematch badly 🙂

I think they're giving the other 250 to Union. I know each player is getting 4 each, and they're selling the rest on a first come basis.

The Bluefield New’s paper mentioned they are offering to seniors instead of selling to the public.

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.
