public allowed to come?

 

VHSL is in charge.  Each player and band member will get two tickets each.  Then they will see how many are left for general admission.  But they will likely be limited to the participants fanbase by being placed for sale in he high schools office.

I watched the Appomattox game , I thought for sure that it was going to be a repeat of the Union game , but boy oh boy those Cougars came back. Best State finals in a very long time. Congrats to DA Raiders and congrats to the Cougars for  battling back, you should be very proud

I watched the Appomattox game, it appeared that the 500 spectators per team may have been exceeded by 2 or 3 —-hundred, just saying if they did , great , who cares what the VHSL thinks or king Ralphie 

It certainly did appear that way on the Appo side for sure.

Nope the VHSL needs to send a message: if Appomattox had more spectators, they should strip Appomattox of a title (not this year that's unfair, let's say the one from four years ago) and award it to the team they beat (but not the team they beat in the finals, that's not fair, so let's say the team they beat in the half state game).

I think that's clearly the right thing to do lolol

To me, it's clearly the most fair solution. Gotta send a strong signal that you can't be breaking the not at all arbitrary and seat of your pants rules the VHSL and state came up with. Don't wanna punish the current kids tho, so gotta go back four years to account for every class. I await the VHSL adopting such an obvious and fair solution.

VH$L isn't going to bite the hand that feeds it.  If Appomattox did have more, that's just more money in the VH$L's pocket, and I'm certain they aren't going to tell the Governor they got too much money from tickets...if you know what I'm sayin'...

I'd be shocked if fewer than 1,000 people were at the Riverheads Galax game.  But a lot were on the baseball field, outside the fence, looking down onto the football field.  A few were also lined up on the fenceline sitting in the back of pickup trucks near the east endzone.
