    Essex will get beat bacause......

    Haysi will also have a better game plan. Coach Colley's (Haysi's coach) son was on staff at Fort Chiswell last year when they played Essex. That will have to help some!!

    Crossbracket?

    Of course the goal is to get the 2 best teams in the state in the championship game, hence cross bracketing. But I agree with you. They should name a west champion and an east champion to meet in the finals. Imagine the money the VHSL would make this weekend if Haysi played Honaker somewhere...

    Haysi @ Essex

    This will be a really good game, two programs that don't know much about each other.The weather may play a role, if it is wet it will hurt the Haysi passing attack. I feel last year Haysi played Alta Vista better than Essex did. Most picked Galax over Haysi then Galax over Essex. Haysi 28...

    Fort Chiswell

    Word is Colley will be AD since he is about to retire. But year in year out he is probably the best active coach in SW VA. A state title has eluded him but taking his team to the state semi's 5 times in the past 20 years is pretty good. The Clintwood coach has a state title but I think they...

    Fort Chiswell

    Don't Ft. Chiswell have a couple Haysi guys on staff? One being Coach Colley's son? Would he be considered for the position?

    Haysi

    Haysi is not your classic small town school that plays 3 yards and a cloud of dust, they run a wide open offense and always have. Many different formations. They do suffer from declining enrollment, (hence the consolidation with Clintwood next year), probably14-16 players will see the field...

    Thanks refs for giving the haysi tigers a win

    I don't understand the complaining about the refs. They are VHSL appointed from a very wide geographic area. The call at the end with 2.45 left in the 4th was an obvious unsportsmanlike call, any person at the game will tell you that. To win the game Haysi had to go another 60 yards then get a 2...

    REMATCH OF LAST YEARS FINALS?

    Re: I have already posted this but here goes it again. Honaker will struggle if Alta Vista gets a lead. If Honaker can score first it will be a little closer than most think. How often has Alta Vista played on field turf this year? Haysi-Essex hard to say about this one. I think Galax was...

    Haysi vs Galax

    Re: Haysi makes History This is actually the 4th time Haysi has been to the State Semi's in the last 20 years or so In 93 they lost to Giles 8-0 at in a classic game I think 2005 lost to Giles again Last year they lost to Alta Vista 34-22 which by the way has been the closest game Alta Vista...
