Game change Va. HIgh---Brookville

**kmccall** · February 28th, 2007, 11:21 AM

The Va. High vs Brookville girls game has been changed from Friday Night at 7:00 to Saturday at 4:00. I have emailed the VHSL on why this was done, and I am waiting for a response. All the other games AA girls games are scheduled for Friday night in prime time. To me this just hurts attendence when you have a game in the afternoon and not at night. I wouldn't be surprised if this was done to appease Brookville. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

This change was made at the request of Brookville so they wouldn't have to leave so early on Friday and get back so late. Va. High had to travel 4 hours to Magna Vista on a school night and get back at 1:00am and I didn't see us crying. If Brookville didn't want to have to travel and be inconvienced they should have won their game. To me it's just another example of the VHSL helping another school up the road.

Why can't GC refuse to move? I thought the winning team decided where to host!!

Seems odd that they would be having games at Va. High and the administration at Va. High will be at John Battle at the same time. This just doesn't make much sense. If they would have thought it out a little they would have Va. High's game at night or vise-versa and maybe had more attendence at both sites. Why are they insisting that all the games be during the afternoon? My guess is to appease the schools from up the road. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wall.gif[/img]

It's about 200 miles from Brookville to Bristol. The VHSL will reimburse the school for motel rooms for a Friday night quarter-final game.

In the Bristol Herald courier today the time for the Va. High vs Brookville game is listed as TBA. Maybe they are [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]looking at another time change. This would make sense seeing that you would think that the administration from Va. High would have to be at the games being played at their school. I hope they move it to Sat. Night. It is still being listed on the VHSL website at 4:00 Sat.
