Lil’ Leonard’s Losers

[ghos88t 68]

Uncle Percy said We might as well call this the Wednesday Edition since so many games are being played during the week. First oft, did you hear about all of the flash flood of tears in Northern Virginia. Seems like those Old Republicans went out and won a bunch of elections yesterday and flipped a House. If you haven’t read about it or seen the TV News Programs, there’s more finger pointing and accusing going on than in a packed room of people where someone discharged one of those smelly silent farts that just clings in the air, on the walls and you are asking people quietly “Is it on me?”.   Yes Sir, Rachel Maddow is blaming Fox News, a bunch are accusing Weak Knee Joe Manchin of WV for not supporting Woke Joe, blaming Donald J. Trump, uneducated, Wal Mart shopping Deplorables, parents who are concerned about their kids education, you know, those “Terrorist Parents”.  The list goes on and on.  Great-Grandmother Chloe always said “When you point your finger at someone, you have 3 fingers pointing back at you”.  Best not say what Grandpa Cletus said about excuses. There be some young readers on here, and it would really, really upset the Politically Correct Mamby Pamby Millennials who get on here.  Now for the Losers.

Believe it or not, this game is one of the most important games of the year. It’s for a District Championship and a playoff spot. The Loser of this game could miss The Playoffs depending on if Eastside and Thomas Walker win and how the Bonus Points shake out of the Bag. We all know Dean Hubbard, The Dean of Coaches in SWVA, is retiring after this season. You know he wants to retire with another BDD Championship and playoff trip to go along with this year’s Buzzard’s Roost Trophy.  Talk about Flipping the House, if Coach Ward can get his Knob Cats’ claws sharp enough and find a way to break the Poison Pen Hex of The Bristol Newspaper, A Twin Valley win could mean a BDD Championship and a possible playoff encounter with Chilhowie.  A Lost could mean no playoff game for the Knob Cats.  However, The Big-A Cats definitely know what’s at stake and will want to deliver for Coach Hubbard’s last regular season football game in a big way.  Look for Coach Hubbard and his Tigers to cross Drill Mountain and give the Knob Cats a drilling they want forget because they probably want find a cure for the Poison Pen Hex in time.

We hear that this game may be played on Thursday, so we decided why not.  We all know that The Revenuers are going to be the #1 seed in the 2D Playoffs and that the road to the semifinals runs through Mitchell Stadium. We keep hearing something about a 1-4 across District standings instead of 1-8 power points. This is Ridiculous in our opinion. Uncle Percy and Cousin Hoyt say that whoever “thunk” this up is a lot of sandwiches shy of a picnic or are trying to pull a 1996 West Roanoke  to get away playing someone (Graham), in this case till maybe the 3rd round of the Playoffs and hoping for an upset before then.  For you younger people, in the 1996 semi finals, the West Roanoke Banty Rooster’s Coaches and a certain Assistant Principal kept whining to the VHSL about having to play at Grundy. One of this whiny bunch Claimed that Grundy’s field didn’t meet their conditions and standards, also afraid of Crowd control. All this was brought about by a certain person from Abington after Grundy gave them a good thumping in the Regional finals. It got back that this person told a Salem Coach that if they played at Grundy they were a 2TD underdog.  Thus started the whining and the game was moved to Tazewell to worst field conditions and weather. So we hope someone is not trying to pull something here.  So the only thing The Revenuers have to worry about the Candy Canes is that no one chips a tool.  Candy Canes, Christmas is coming unless Woke Joe and Dr. Fauci decide to cancel it.

Footnote:

Now you know why Uncle Percy and Cousin Hoyt always refer to West Roanoke and Abington as being the Biggest Losers.  They were witnesses to all this. Oh the tales these two can tell about football from the 60s through the 90s into the 2000s and who they saw play.

Mudgate was and still is a crime to Buchanan County football. Don't let them forget Leonard.

Was at the 1996 Grundy vs Salem game in Tazewell.  Grundy outplayed Salem, and I mean really outplayed them, only to lose the game.  Many of the younger generation of footballers wouldn't believe how tough Grundy was in the 90's.  Had some good teams in the 80's as well with the Perkins brothers playing at different times, but it's incredible to think Grundy in 1996 was actually Div 4, or equal to Class 4 today.  Officially, they would have been AA/Div 4 or AA"big".  They were a better football team than Salem that year I think, and Grundy may have very well been the best Div 4 team in the state that year, and for sure, left a state title game appearance on the field in the semifinal loss to Salem.  Neither team moved the ball well, but from what I recall, Grundy moved it a bit better during the game.   Salem always bitc*d like a little child whenever they had to come west in football.  There was always going to be a complaint or something.

Those mid-90's Grundy teams were loaded. Dressing over 50 players, many went on to play college ball, and just humongous on the line. Salem did not want to make that bus ride across the mountain and at the time, Grundy had no visitor bleachers. That was the nail in the coffin, not the field conditions, but separate bleachers. The field in Tazewell that day was much much worse than the one in Grundy that week. 25 years have passed and I still remember that day and week like it was last week. I still have a field pass and program from that game somewhere, I need to look for it when the season ends and I actually have free time again.

That was a great game. Man it poured that day though. Grundy was the better team, but the best team doesn't always win. They had their chances just couldn't put it in the endzone.
