    A lot of Norton people make me LOL. Refer back to some of Appalachia's past opponents. They used to play schools outside the district a lot bigger than they were awhile back and did quite well against many of them. So that excuse is not exactly valid.

    Not sure why all the hate on Norton but that's fine, comparing football now vs the 90's is pretty much a complete joke anyway. Not really sure what your point was based on my initial statement. My whole point to my statement was why were people making fun of our schedule when most teams on it are twice our size and due to consolidation scheduling this year was very difficult. Not for sure what excuse I was making, I wasn't aware I was making an excuse for anything. We are 5-0

    I wasn't making fun of the schedule, but I was defending it. It was someone from the PoundCent area.

    Re: Burton

    In my opinion I agree, Burton should play schools with similar enrollments, like they do (Div. 1). But, with that being said, I would like to see them go out and pick a quality out of district opponent like a radford, george wythe, etc. Just for the simple reason of seeing where they stand against these teams. I think JI Burton is very solid possibly the best team in the "old region d" and would definitely only benefit from a game like that. I would just like to see them tested against someone other than a district opponent. I also realize scheduling is sometimes a problem and doing this isn't always possible.

    DANG! You think the punctuation and spelling on this board is bad now, you just wait. Wise County schools were consolidated to improve the educational opportunities for the students and what does the school board do, they eliminate PACE. The one school competition that really mattered..........................................

    When did PACE involve basic grammar skills?
