Very proud of the Clintwood fans today. They probably outnumbered Sussex 2 to 1. I was told their principal said it was the largest crowd they had had this year.
Was a great game and worth the long ass trip there. Me and Counts logged almost 1000 miles today and I'd do it again tomorrow. Proud of the kids and hope they keep it up next week.

Seeing as how regions were done away with....and all the schools who participated in the State Playoffs from this area were eliminated except Clintwood......to me says a whole lot about this team and how good they are. In this format, you have no choice but to play the team who is playing the best football right now....and for Clintwood to take the Southwest Va banner into Salem ....that is a great accomplishment. Congratulations to them.
UNION HIGH SCHOOL BEARS - THE NEW ERA BEGINS
It surprises me that there wasn't much of a turnout by the Sussex fans, especially considering they were at home. I was at the Galax game Saturday and Lunenburg Central brought a couple hundred fans, tops. The visitor's side at Galax is tiny and it wasn't even filled.
I was wondering yesterday how much better the VHSL's take would have been had the semifinals been Galax vs. Clintwood and Lunenburg vs Sussex, but based on what I've heard and seen it wouldn't have made much difference on the eastern end.
Saturday should be one of the VHSL's better crowds for a Group A final. Galax had a good turnout Saturday, plus it's their first-ever final, and we all know how Clintwood travels. The VHSL is probably happy about an all-SWVA final, despite what some people want to believe.
Great point Hoard. VHSL is about the almighty dollar.
