EH31 2,518 Report Share Posted December 6, 2021 I was looking at FourSeasonsFootball.com and seen that in 1990 Lee traveled to Yorktown to play Tabb in the playoffs. That’s well over a 7 hour bus ride. Does anyone know of a local team that’s made a longer trip to play a game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northampton is on the eastern shore (Onley), and is also where Graham played for the soccer title this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1inStripes 932 Report Share Posted December 7, 2021 I would think Clintwoods was the longest just due to the roads at that time. Both Clintwoods trip and Powell Valleys were a pain in the tail I imagine. Liam McPoyle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple that with the federally-mandated 55 MPH speed limit at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
