Wonder what the chances of any of these being played on Saturday is... Union-DR seems like it may be a Saturday game, others not so sure.There are some good matchups:

That DR/Union surprises meGlenvar @ Richlands 7:30 Friday
Union @ Dan River 6:00 Friday
Those two are confirmed.
Not the most popular of decisions, but looking forward to it nonetheless. Just hope it doesn't prevent our fans from showing up.That DR/Union surprises me
Good luck to Union! Hope that the "Running of The Bears" spectacle continues in Dan River!Not the most popular of decisions, but looking forward to it nonetheless. Just hope it doesn't prevent our fans from showing up.
It is a spectacle indeed! Even for home games. I'm anxious to see how many of our fans do come at such a "unique" time.Good luck to Union! Hope that the "Running of The Bears" spectacle continues in Dan River!
I don't have an exact explanation, but Wise Co. Schools already had a previously scheduled 12:30 dismissal for Friday, and IF Union were to continue advancing they are looking at several long trips, so I can only surmise that it is to keep the Friday night continuity while minimizing the late night driving for the fans. Just a guess.Why in the world would they play a game at 6:00? It the rational to allow folks to get home a little earlier? Heck most JV games are even at 6:30. I can't imagine that anyone coming from all the way from Big Stone Gap would mind a 7:00 kickoff.
Is this trip as far as the one you made last year up to Clarke? If not, I think you guys fill the visitors side again! Hope you take your band. I dunno if ours will show up this weekend either. Apparently, the Band Director doesn't like to do his job.It is a spectacle indeed! Even for home games. I'm anxious to see how many of our fans do come at such a "unique" time.

Clarke was right at 6 hrs. DR is going to be around 4.5 hrs. Our band will definitely be going. Just not sure how many members yet. I think we took 87 to Clarke last year.Is this trip as far as the one you made last year up to Clarke? If not, I think you guys fill the visitors side again! Hope you take your band.

Since the trip is over 3 hours, it would have been Union's decision for the day, but I don't know about the time. I would imagine a joint agreement for the 6 pm start.Who made the decision DR or Union

I'm not sure if I follow what you mean.It's thanksgiving break, I think they usually schedule it this way.
They DO care about getting a good gate.Most schools and VHSL, do not care about the fans. I have seen games scheduled to suit the agenda of administration, and to heck with team/fans.
Yeah, that scheduling is a real head scratcher. Why aren't the powers that be explaining the irrationality of it?As a Union fan, the 6pm kickoff irritates the hell out of me. How is someone supposed to work then go to the game? 7pm is tough enough with a four hour drive, 6pm is insanity. Saturday made much more sense, but its not up to me. The staff and school shouldn't even be entertaining thoughts of a next round game, none of that matters if you lose.
I got no horse in the race, but this game should be played Saturday. fans could catch another good game Friday and go to Dan River Saturday.
It'll be the same way next week unless Union upsets DR. If Richlands and Graham both win, they will play next Friday at 7. If Appo and DR win, they'll play next Friday at 7.
