DuktheCook Walker......good one

Anyone have word on what Ridgeview is going to do?  Did they get a taker for their empty scrimmage date?  Also, any of the Gmen fans that can speak to what happened to the RV/ Graham benefit game and why Graham moved on from that?  It’s quite a bit of travel for sure.

That was last year. They don't usually do a home/home with benefit games do they?

[rjhall71 61]

Honaker @Marion 8/12 scrimmage 6pm

Marion @ Fort Chiswell 8/19 benefit 7pm

Got it.  I thought someone told me that Graham was originally scheduled for that slot.

Hedgesville, WV is going all the way to Galax for a benefit?

Si. Correcto. 4:42 by car, but add the bus time in, and it's a good 5 hour haul. I've learned that in many scrimmage games like this over the years where 1 team travels a long distance, there is often (not always), but often some connection most fans don't know about. For example, coaches are friends or some historic interest in the area the visiting team wants to see. Hampton High at the Pulaski Grid O Rama in the 80s comes to mind, but Mike Smith (Hampton), Joel Hicks (Pulaski), Glynn Carlock (Graham) were all close friends. So, what better way for Smith to see his friends and for some young 17 year old city slickers to see the mountains and other side of Virginia. If I'm not mistaken, Salem was also at that gridorama. I think this was before Salem started its Jamboree/Gridorama of its own, and Willis White of Salem was also in that coaching click with Hicks, Carlock, Smith, among others.

Im a fan of traveling for scrimmages (admittedly never done it), let the kids see new areas and if you think your team will make a run get them used to traveling. After a few weeks of practice traveling wouldnt be so bad, although id rather go to a grid-o-rama type setup vs a benefit game.

That August 13th lineup at Emory looks good.  I might had over that way to watch that.  A lot of good talent between those three teams.
