You've got Wise (or Central) moving three or four of their games to CVC. Now you've got Norton talking about moving the Clintwood game up there.
Just play the damn game on your field. Hell, Wise's field can't be that bad. I know Norton's is rough and all, but it's rained less than an inch this week.
Go to Sam's, buy a big jug of Shout and play the damn games at home.
Good question. A few years ago RC was supposed to host St. Paul in the playoffs and moved the game to Friday because of the rain to play in it.
I'm just glad it's been windy today to dry out TS's craphole.
Central's games at UVAW have nothing to do with the field at WiseQuote:

It had been much discussed and we tried it and the kids loved it,so we antied up and ran with it is what I was told.
That isn't what the quotes in Friday's Coalfield article said.Quote:

I'm not saying anything because JIB likes playing there in the playoffs and should it they are able too.
But I thought the high school kids all hated playing at UVAW. :)
whatever gave you that feeling???? lol.
I heard a bunch of people say that once (for several years).
lol, maybe it mostly came from one fanbase that always raised utter hell about playing at UVAW??Quote:

CW seemed to like it, JIB LOVES it haha, WC seems to like it, from what I understand the UHS kids loved it, etc...
I usually got to the finals games early and had seen the GC kids go on the field before. I mentioned it to Jason and GC1 and never got a responce back on here but (I think it was two years ago) I was on the fence when the GC kids took the field. I heard more than 1 kid say how awesome, cool, wild it was and they looked thrilled.
If I was GC, or RC I was the higher seed, I wouldnt have wanted to play there either. It would be dumb to when they earned the right to control where they played.
I think very few "wanted" to. It's just that it wasn't anything to throw a hissy fit over. I'm sure Clintwood prefered to play at Clintwood, yet there was never any whining or crying.
I just never understood why schools agreed to it. If you annually have a terrible football team or no football program at all I understand it since it doesnt affect you. If you have been a 1 seed in the last decade, and you prefer to play at home, theres no reason at all to go along with it.
Not our kids. We were unbeaten thereQuote:
