The games I am most interested in seeing are Graham vs Bluefield.  Graham vs. Tazewell.  Tazewell vs. Richlands.  Tazewell vs. Colonial Heights.  Graham vs. Richlands. Graham vs. Union.  Richlands vs. Ridgeview.   Union vs. Richlands.  Tazewell vs Virginia HIgh.  I hope to be at as many of these as possible.

(1) Week 1 - Bluefield v. Graham (Runner-Up: Virginia @ Tazewell)

(2) Week 2 - Graham @ Tazewell (Runner-Up: Union @ Richlands)

(3) Week 3 - Central @ Ridgeview (Runner-Up: Richlands @ Graham)

(4) Week 4 - Graham @ Union (Runner-Up: Radford @ Galax)

(5) Week 5 - Galax @ Graham (Runner-Up: Tazewell @ Riverheads)

(6) Week 6 - Abingdon @ Central (Runner-Up: Richlands @ Ridgeview)

(7) Week 7 - Union @ Ridgeview (Runner-Up: Tazewell @ Richlands)

(8) Week 8 - Central @ Union (Runner-Up: George Wythe @ Galax)

(9) Week 9 - Ridgeview @ Abingdon (Runner-Up: Pulaski Co. @ Graham)

Probably going to come back to this list myself later on.  Good games to choose from.

Tazewell @ Colonial Heights??? That's unreal........

Yes, but Mt. View put them in a tough spot.  It will be a good experience for the team, but a very long trip.  I'm planning on heading up the night before.

No you dont.  It amazes me how many football stadiums in NET only have seating on one side of the field.

It is a lot.  Lol.  A lot in Knoxville area do too though.  William Blount, Bearden, Heritage, Jefferson County all have seats on one side.  A lot of seats mind you.. but all on one side.

Heck, D-B may as well have seats on only one side.  With the band now taking up the first section of visitor seats at J. Fred, it doesn't give very much space to the visitors.

I look forward to seeing Volunteer's stadium for the first time this season when the Tribe go to Church Hill.

You haven't missed much. I believe they do have turf now though. The last time we were there, their field was awful. I feel bad for Volunteer. For the most part, their athletic programs have been a 40+ year effort in futility.

Add Cherokee to that list. I have yet to see a one sided seating stadium here in Florida, but there's a lot of really nice stadiums that are a quarter to half full on game nights. Outside of a couple of places, the game atmosphere is terrible.

Hate quoting myself, but I see that Graham plays Richlands on Thursday, September 8th, Bluefield plays Pulaski on Friday, September 9th and Tazewell is at Colonial Heights on Saturday, September the 10th.  I believe I will go to all 3.  I should get my fill of high school football that weekend.

Richlands’ schedule has the game at Graham on Friday the 9th.

Bluefield’s schedule has Pulaski on the 9th but Pulaski has Bluefield on the 8th. Wonder who’s wrong
