This should be a good one! Should be a close game, but I see the Maroons winning the west. I feel now it is all about how much the fatigue traveling so far west will affect these east teams. Surry County is still the team to beat this year I think.

PM played Riverheads this year?Pm crushed riverheads twice this year..I know it's now and not then...just know they play each other every year....they are literally 25 min apart
You are right with that.You would think that vhsl would realize that Bristol is as far south west as you can go in va.lol
To much traveling it seems to me. When every team has to travel west, something is wrong with it. Anything west of Roanoke shouldn't even be considered. Can't complain though travel is part of it, a winner can win anywhere.
Virginia doesn't end at Roanoke as a lot of people think. You can drive another 3 hours and still be in Virginia.
Everyone knows where Bristol is and where the state ends and begins, obviously that is not the point here. Bristol is not a central point of Virginia, the people from VHSL making these discussions to play the first two rounds of the State 1A tournament in Bristol definitely aren't from anywhere other then the western area of the state.

30 minute travel for Altavista to lynchburgLook at the number of teams that are 1a not to many that are in the northern part of the state. That would put Lynchburg almost in the middle of most of 1a teams. Sure some teams would have to travel but don't to many would have to travel 6 hrs.The kids really don't bother them but the parents and fans that's really tough
I feel no matter where the games are played GW will come out of their side of the bracket. Then they are going to get on their bus and travel four hours to do it one more time. Teams just are not matching up with them. They have no real great talents on this team, but it is hard to beat someone that is willing to do anything it takes to win. They are big, physical, and prepared to do whatever it takes.
Congrats to GW...looks like they will prob play a rematch....best two teams[/QUOTE
I think you may be right!
