Wonder if they are taking a pep bus or fan bus?

I hope they do. Is the band going? 

[EH31 2,518]

Only 1 charter bus so only 55 can travel including coaches. Cheerleaders are bringing upperclassmen separately. Band can’t make it. No fan bus but they’re are plenty of people carpooling on the way up. 
 

It’s an expensive trip. But the kids are excited. I know I would be if I was in high school getting to travel, stay overnight & play a bigger school from the eastern part of the state.  
 

I think as adults we take for granted stuff like that. There are some kids that don’t get to take trips, stay in hotels & get fed multiple meals per day. Regardless of the outcome of the game it should be a lasting memory for them.

For the experience of just traveling it's good, for the football experience of traveling it's good. 

If Tazewell has the money to do it I don't see a problem

And for any Tazewell fans not familiar with the area, do not, under any circumstance, stop in neighboring Petersburg.

For Bulldog fans, the Inn at Blackstone is really cool.  Nice resort and Blackstone is a nice place to stay the night before the game without having to go into the I-85 and 95 traffic mess and crime.  Nottoway High is in the Blackstone/Crewe area and they play Halifax County at home Friday night, so it might give them some flashbacks to see a bunch of Green Tazewell Bulldog shirts in their stadium.  Their middle age to older generations will remember all to well.  Serious though, I recommend staying in Blackstone-Crewe area off of 460 the night before instead of going into the Petersburg area the night before.  For any military guys, Fort Pickett is in Blackstone and an old WW2 era Army Base that has since been turned into a National Guard Base and very neat to see.  It still has the old WW2 2 story Army Barracks with the steps in the back and the wood-coal fired stoves for heat.

Y'all be sure to check out Crewe's water tower.

Watching Colonial Heights vs New Kent on NFHS, think the Dogs can take this one.

I was skeptical about this game, then I watched there game, and all my worry’s went away. Nothing against them, but they are probably the worst team I’ve seen in a while.

Is QB1 out for this one?

[THS6805 124]

I think he ve playing. But I heard he was 100%

[THS6805 124]

Wasnt

[redtiger 1,740]

Was it Harris that was injured in a 7 on 7? How's he doing?

[THS6805 124]

My prediction is tazewell will be very physical in this game. I'm seeing.

He had a groin injury, but progressed well through rehab and is back at 100%.

[Tru Blue 72 423]

Good luck to the Bulldogs and safe travels to everyone going to the game.  Hope for an injury free game and a win for Tazewell.

Qb1 will not play and will be out for a few weeks.  1, possibly 2 more starters out injured.   I look for a much closer game.

Who is QB2 or do they just go Wildcat with Harris?

QB2 is a freshman Finn Moss.  Good kid. He will be good in the future, just not ready for varsity yet.  Wildcat for the next few weeks.

Since the cat’s out of the bag, Carter’s been ruled out for 2 weeks, mostly precautionary, and should return for Riverheads.  One DL has a hand injury, which will take a few weeks, but there is ample depth there.  Everyone else is good to go.

 

I know I sound like a broken record, but I don’t think the QB change will affect the final outcome.  It comes down to the line executing blocking schemes.  CH’s coaching staff isn’t exactly Alabama’s.

 

BTW, the Dawgs should rest well tonight.  Good hotel accommodations here!
