The meeting was earlier today. We should know something shortly.

It’s my understanding it’s 3 superintendents

Thanks for the info. I believe the composition of the Appeals Committee and the transparency with which they operate will be critical to how the final result is perceived. By the transparency with which they operate, I mean not only the disclosure of the decision but, discussion and disclosure, as allowed and appropriate, of the information and arguments from BOTH sides that they considered in reaching their decision.

One question, does anybody know who the members of the appeals committee are and, if so, has that information been made public any where?

I also agree with OCBoy that this is already a disaster or, maybe more aptly, a bad joke. One group does an "investigation" and fully exonerates while a second group does an "investigation" and recommends a 2 year post season ban. Now they want a third group to call balls and strikes and decide the outcome? The disparity in the findings between the first two groups makes this far more than a difference of opinion to be resolved by an independent third party. I also doubt anyone is coming out of this vindicated or looking good.

Yeah but that was after they both dove straight for each knee. Only reason he didn't get hurt was because of a defensive reaction backing up. It's on film tape doesn't lie.

Nothing illegal with diving at the knees. Holding on afterwards, yes. But that is just an old fashion cut block that you are talking about. You can only cut block players that start on the LOS. Can't cut block in high school down field like you can in college. Also the players doing the cut block must start on the LOS and can be no wider than the tight end.

If those points are relatively close (or dead on) I wonder if it's possible for Salem to take the 3 seed from Sherando with a Handley victory this Friday.

I’ll save my opinion on this until after the final matter

Hard to know what is real, but this looks like the latest.


Over the next 48 hours, an appeals committee for the Virginia High School League will review and make its decision regarding whether Hayfield High School is eligible for the postseason in 2024 and 2025.

The committee met Monday to hear from the Virginia High School League and Hayfield officials.

The VHSL has recommended that Hayfield be banned from the playoffs for 2024 and 2025.

I know Central has their QB back. I know those kids now feel like they have a lot to play for after winning their appeal and getting their wins back. Having said that I feel like Strasburg is the better team. They have the better trenches on both sides of the ball. They have 3 solid RBs and I don't think Central can stop their run game. I have a score somewhere 21-7 21-10 Strasburg. I will be there watching. Hopefully it's a good game

My #'s are the same as what the VHSL has, except for Gate City. VHSL has 19.56, I have 19.78. I double checked and didn't see anything wrong?? Looks like they awarding 2 less rider points for Middlesboro, KY. Anybody know anything I don't?

Middlesboro didn't get credit for a win over a private Christian school.

Lafayette said:

Ha!!! Pretty funny. There is still old Cooley Field now used for JV only but used to be the football varsity field when Lafayette was the only HS here. Needs visitor stands to be added though snd is grass, but in nice condition. Would useful to at least eliminate the Thursday games when Wanner is “double” booked.

They need to invest in the kids activities. Big time.

Whatever you want to call 2 different linemen each grabbing and holding on to a different leg of the same defensive lineman.
