jmarcum 10 Report Share Posted November 15, 2003 I assumed that Bluefield would have the field Friday night and we play you guys on Saturday. Is this right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluefield_Rules 46 Report Share Posted November 16, 2003 In the WV playoff system the visiting team in the playoffs gets to pick the day and the time of the game. Bluefield will face Weir High School, which is six hours north of Bluefield and as such the game will most likely be played at 1:30 on Saturday...

gmenfootball 10 Report Share Posted November 16, 2003 I dont guess Graham knows yet,They are talking about Bluefield possible playing sat.,because of Weir having to travel six hours.If Bluefield plays friday I would say it would be at 2:00 pm like this game today..As soon as I hear anything for sure I will post it..

Bluefield_Rules 46 Report Share Posted November 16, 2003 We'll know for sure tomorrow morning after the remaining coaches of the teams in the playoffs meet in Parkersburg. At that time the day and time of each game will be decided... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance 228 Report Share Posted November 16, 2003 I figured they might want to play Friday since the field will be pretty bad Sat for whoever ends up with it. Weather calling for rain and snow all next week last time I checked. Probably won't be overly bad for Friday game, but Sat. might be nasty.

ghs73 157 Report Share Posted November 16, 2003 is it also a possibility that beaver could play at 130 sat and graham play at 730 sat night that is something that i have heard going around also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghs73 157 Report Share Posted November 16, 2003 i also have a question about the game. is it a possibility that if mitchell stadium was in bad shape that graham might get the school board in tazewell to let them use tazewell high schools field for the game.

GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted November 16, 2003 <font color="800000">Why use Tazewell's field??? Mitchell Stadium's field on a bad day is better than the Tazewell field on a good day! </font> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluefield_Rules 46 Report Share Posted November 16, 2003 Did the field really get in bad shape yesterday? It was in great shape on Friday night for the Bluefield/Oak Hill game... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmenfootball 10 Report Share Posted November 16, 2003 In my opinion I dont think it is all that bad,The middle of the field looked like mud yesterday, but it was that big football they painted back on the field.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't let a group of Chinese midgets play chess on Tazewell's field. Mitchell Stadium is definitely the better option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swvafootballfan 10 Report Share Posted November 16, 2003 I have picked up from the VAPREPS board that ALL regional finals are to be played Nov. 29. As not to give an advantage to the regions who could finish up this week. Looking at the memo on VHSL they show split dates for Regional Semi, but Nov 29 as the date for all Regional Finals. Anybody heard anything on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghs73 157 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 the only good thing about tazewells field is that it still has grass on it instead of mud at mid field and on the sidelines granted seating is poor but i think as far as the mud last time i was there i did not see any which is better for bradshaw less slipping if it is muddy at mitchell stadium. that was what i was concidering. i do not like the seating at tazewell high.

gmenfootball 10 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 From what I understand about this is Graham -Grundy will play this friday and the winner will have a week off before there next game,I guess the other teams will get caught up on that off week,..

DemonDeuce 10 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 I was at the game saturday and the end toward the new concession stand was tore up pretty.. as for the middle, I asked one of the Graham coaches what was up with the painted football at mid-field and he said they painted it to cover up a huge bare dirt spot where the grass had been worn out... lets see.... dirt + water = MUD... However the upper end of the field should be in good shape... thank goodness carlock called off the dogs in the second quarter and second half because thats the end martinsville had to go to so there wasnt much action on that end... Grundy might get the local fire department to go up there thursday night and soak it.. they will need all the help they can get.. maybe even natural disaster to hit mitchell stadium to help them..... good luck to all.. play fair.. and accidentally run into a ref.. i love seeing those bright white pants get muddy..haha (of course I'm Joking.... I never like to see anyone get hurt or I would never try to persuade a player to hit a ref... even though I would like to knock one of them out sometimes on a bonehead call... but they are human and I hope they call a fair game... let the boys play and may the best team win with no excuses... anyway you have to admit it is funny when a ref get knocked down, even funnier in the mud... unharmed of course).. .

GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 <font color="800000"> The bare spot at midfield was caused by painting the football there back in August...the paint killed the grass, not the playing of football games. Anyway, looking at the forecast for the rest of the week, the fields are going to be muddy where ever the games are played!</font> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
go_big_blue 10 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 Wat about richlands feild then, since You dont like Tazewell?.....Ernie Hicks Stadium would be a prefeect place to hold the game if conditions dont improve at Mitchell Stadium because Richlands is the halfway point between Grundy and Graham?? Good luck to both teams by the way.....nothin like a good 'ole' SWD showdown.....even tho i dont think Grundy has a prayer of stopping Ahmad Bradshaw!!!

GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 <font color="800000"> I wouldn't want to force Grundy to sit in those crappy visitors bleachers at Ernie Hicks Stadium! As for the field, they might as well play at Tazewell!</font> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmenfootball 10 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 So true!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance 228 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 I'm pretty sure most people from Grundy would rather play at Mitchell Stadium if the game is not at Grundy. Grundy had to go to Tazewell a few years back and play a "home" playoff game and it was horrible. I myself, like Mitchell Stadium better than any of the other places in the area, Virginia High has a very nice place to play as well...My choices in order would be Grundy, VA High, Graham, Tazewell, Richlands.
