the school opened around '24, so it mighta been the 50th HC win.

no that would have been the old high school. used to sit where the appco sits now

"The 1924 Wise County Football season saw Wise and Appalachia come into the picture. In their first game Appalachia defeated Wise 33-0."

and like i said, that was the old high school that isnt there anymore

But that should probably count toward their totals still as long as it was called Appalachia HS.

i agree, was just stating that this was a newer school. maybe this was just the 50th homecoming, just because you have a school doesnt mean you have to have a homecoming

So Blacksburg HS had their 1st HC last night, right? After all, they aren't in THEIR old building anymore, either.

just so you know, appy opened in 1916-1917 as well.......... 1924 was the first year of the football team. i would assume 50 years of homecomings altogether. or they dont have old records, im not sure why it was done when it was. so like you said, if you are going to try and be a smartass at least know what you are talking about. you have a bad day or something? apparently you didnt read my post above yours.........? i didnt say it was their 50th was just stating facts in here.

yeah... sorry, mis-read there.

First, I thought... maybe 50th at Riggs. Then, maybe it WAS the 50th GAME for Appy.

Dad said he thinks the 4-lane across Shortt Gap between Grundy & Richlands opened in the mid 50's. With the way the roads were back then, most ppl. didn'r move far off, and drving more than 60 miles woulda taken a while, so maybe HC's took a while to catch on.
