    Southern Gap question

    I haven't seen anything official, but it's my understanding they are mostly going to follow Grundy's 2025 schedule. If that's the case, their first home game will be against Ridgeview week 1. I'll post when I see anything official.

    It's official. Lord Botetourt 's Jamie Harless is the new head football coach at Union. From the BHC... Having guided a high school football team in the Blue Ridge Mountains to its peak success, Jamie Harless is returning to far Southwest Virginia to call the shots for a Region 2D powerhouse...

    As for his replacement, nobody on staff seemed to want the job. Probably a good thing. There was an immediate front runner until some surprise outside applicants came in. The rumor mill seems to have settled on one name, but the official announcement will be made March 9th after the school...

    Him leaving his house and walking into the woods with a gun appears to be very factual. Erroneous reports that he was dead came about from purported police scanner traffic indicating a body had been found. However, after a K9 tracked his scent from his house, through the woods and then...

    Strasburg-Glenvar

    Didn't Union win by a TD in that game?;) Ridgeview has a ton of talent. Line might be a weakness next year, unless they find some beef. Union has some young players that can step up big time next year, but the coaching hire will determine the Bears' ceiling next year. Graham is for sure...

    Feeder Schools/Eligibility

    Interesting wording on this as many counties this way do not have attendance zones. Parents are free to pick the primary/elementary, middle or high school of their choice. Given that the whole county is the attendance "zone" along with the wording of the rule, students would be eligible to go...

    Union

    The stadium was constructed in the 1930's, so the overall accessibility is not the best, but the visitor bleachers were replaced in 2008, after a tornado, and they are fully ADA compliant. They're also only about 17 ft from the field. The only sightline issue would be people walking back and...

    Union

    I don't know if there are any Glenvar folks on here anymore, but for anyone attending this game, please keep in mind that Union plays all football games at Bullitt Park, not at the HS. In the past we've had fans/students show up at the HS and were late to the game. Parking inside the park is...

    Union

    I'll echo what Sixcat said and say that the Union football team is getting extra love due to the, literally, worldwide media attention concerning the coach situation. They actually had to practice at undisclosed locations because of the hounding by reporters. Helping your neighboring community...

    I guess I missed that entirely! I remember seeing your explanation, but I don't think I went back to that thread again until Saturday. Just went back and looked. Your explanation is gone, but nothing else mentioned.

    Game is on. Players are fired up. It is just a mess beyond immediate comprehension. I think they were worried about liability on the other board. They're waiting for an official press release, which is coming this afternoon/evening, and they're going to open commenting back up on the subject.

    **** the VHSL for what they did to Brookville

    The article below, dated 10/31 is the latest I've seen. As an independent observer, over 200 miles away, this is not a good look for the VHSL. Keeping track of the news articles, as I have no first hand info, it does seem like there are some odd/inconsistent actions on behalf of the VHSL...

    **** the VHSL for what they did to Brookville

    I'll be the first to admit that I don't fully understand how all the eligibility determinations are made/approved. That's why I'm so interested in this situation. I can definitely see why Brookville folks are upset/confused by this whole mess because when you look at the very top of the 27-8...
