Bought a new blocking sled over the summer too, which I think has paid dividends already. Several of us on here like to give Tazewell a hard way to go at times. Myself included. The parade still makes me laugh to this day. But............the amount of support that team gets year in and year out is very impressive. Local businesses, parents, community members, etc go all out. I love it. I've really enjoyed watching the interviews on Facebook. Good stuff. bulldog05-CO2017, Deleted Account, EH31 and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My plan is to go even if it's just me heading that way. Real question is do just make it a day trip or head down Friday eve? A day trip would be rough to make. I would either go up Friday night and stay or head up saturday morning and come back Sunday. The best way to go is 81 to 460 to 307(just past Farmville) to 360 (Petersburg) to 95. Unless you like driving the interstate the whole way, then it's 81 to 64 to 95. Not much difference in drive time. About 6 hours. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love it. I've really enjoyed watching the interviews on Facebook. Good stuff. I’m amazed at the support, as well. I don’t know whether to credit the coaching staff, Bulldog Radio, Shake Rag Forever, certain members of the community, or all of the above. It was not always this way. I remember being a “neutral” party, rooting for and sitting on Tazewell’s side and the fan support was terrible with yelling at the players in addition to the modest attendance. I will admit it was from the Wyatt era and during the coaching carousel. I’m glad to see the enthusiasm.

Considering the Drive down 52, it's a fair trade off. I may be in the minority here, but I like the road trip and think it will be good for the boys. Different experience. A lot of those kids have never been out of the area. redtiger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would they go 52 or could they cut across coalwood? It’s been forever since I have been that way, but seems like it would be a lot shorter unless the roads have gotten so bad you can’t get a bus over it.

If it were to have happened I’d say Stoney ridge to Bishop to the head of Abbs Valley and over 14 Mountain to Gary would probably be the best way since they built that nice new road over 14.

Hate quoting myself, but you can actually go 460 all the way to Petersburg. forget that part I said aobut going 307 to 360, that'll take you down Hull Street in Richmond (That's how I used to go to stop by and visit old friends). easiest to take 460 to Petersburg then 95.
