JDHoss 249 Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 Anyone here remember when Lynch, KY came across Black Mtn to play Appy back in the early 70's? Appy thumped them pretty bad, but Lynch had a dynamite little RB named Joe Washington who rushed for well over 200 yards and 4 TD or so that night. There was also a great running back at Oklahoma by the same name back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t they play for over 100 years? 108 years to be exact The schools themselves have grown far apart in terms of enrollment (TN High has 1300, 5A in TN; VA High has 600, 2A in VA) and particularly money All that has resulted in a massively lopsided game (THS won 23 of the last 25) which ultimately didn't help either team's playoff standings. Covid caused the 2020 game not to be played and it was decided that year that the series would not be continued. The ideal solution would be for the schools to play a preseason exhibition, but that is unlikely because the TSSAA begins a week earlier than the VHSL Losing to them every year sucked but having the oldest rivalry in Tennessee and Virginia come to an end is even worse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when it comes to taxes. Hate seeing these old rivalries die ,but I can understand Va High not wanting to be a punching bag. Plus from what I’ve seen on here and been told Va High is more of a baseball school anyways. V-Cats 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
