Plywood_King 517 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 Anyone want to wager a guess on this one? On paper, Marion is returning nearly the entire roster who defeated the Warriors last year and should be favored, but you have to believe that Chilhowie will be viewing this as a revenge game, knowing that they were out-mudded and gave Marion their only win of the season last year. Given that it will be broadcast live on WCYB, both teams are expecting to take a step forward this year, and folks have football-cabin-fever, I expect there to be a lot of spectators and not a lot of points.

bulldog05-CO2017 102 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 Chilhowie gave Tazewell a run for there money in the first half last night, not so much in the second half. If the Warriors play Marion like they did Tazewell in the first half chilhowie will definitely have favor in this one. Good luck to both teams!

Offensively Fort killed them selves with dropped passes and not being able to catch the snap. #10 for Fort ran the ball really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigWinners 1,643 Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 1 hour ago, Plywood_King said: Yes. I wonder what other places have that reputation? Like if you're going to play at x-y-z, you know you're gonna have to deal with some hijinx? I know when Union would play in KY it was like that but I'm curious about local schools. Off my head, I've never felt that about Burton, Ridgeview, Battle, Graham, Abingdon, Lee, VHS, etc... GC used to have that reputation, it felt like the rabid fan base would pressure the refs sometimes, but that's gone. Do other schools feel that way about Union?

Mountain Football 1,532 Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 For the most part I thought in Virginia officiating crews rotated games on a weekly basis. To me that eliminates some of the home cooking. Now with that said I have seen the same officials at Richlands HS games that I've see at Richlands little league games. So I always say when you play at Erie Hicks you are down 14 points before the game starts......😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jags52 346 Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 The Marion Chilhowie game in 2015 (both teams combined for 3 wins that year with both teams beating Holston) the score was 20-19 but I remember there being 20+ flags that game. If i remember correctly the flags where split pretty evenly but Marion had at least 2 scores called back. It could be a Gate City effect where the crowd influenced most of the calls or just your basic home cooking. I just hope Marion has a strong showing in attendance to balance it out a little bit. This is a very intense rivalry even when both teams are not good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask any Tazewell fan and they can give you a real opinion about Chilhowie as well. Clock operators there are questionable at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lest we forget that the second to last flag gave Chilhowie a new set of downs to kneel out the clock after Marion stopped them on third down, and the final flag of the game immediately followed it: a 15 yard unsportsmanlike conduct and ejection against Joey Carroll, which given what I would imagine he said, may have been the only justifiable penalty of the game. 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double birds to the opposing bench/stands along with certain words tends to lead to you no longer participating in the contest. My crew and I worked this game. If I remember correctly 38 combined flags split basically even. It was an ugly game. Both teams were very young. One play late in the game I threw a flag on a Chilhowie WR and a player went down with cramps after the play. Robinson holler and asked me to come to the sideline. He at that time was typically pretty animated so I was expecting this to not be a fun conversation. He asked what they flag was for. Holding on the WR maybe 33 or 34 was the jersey number. He said that’s about his 3rd or 4th time tonight isn’t it. I said it was. He made a comment about the rough number of flags and even said sadly they are all probably legit. Not something you typically hear in a flag fest. Both coaches knew they were young. Thesebwere felony flags not misdemeanors that night. Just way more than anyone wants to see. Coaches. Players. Parents. Fans. Officials. Anyone. You just aren’t doing a team favors if you continually let felonies go and it impacts them down the road though.
