I like it that here in Virginia the smaller classifications aren't made to play their home playoff games at someone else's field because the powers that be don't think your school doesn't have enough seating capacity. It's worth a little discomfort in order for your kids to play state playoff games at home. I know several states that would demand your game be moved in a heartbeat.
Sadly they will move games away from a team. Essex had to a few years ago and I know a few other teams have had to move. Galax has enough space for alot of people with the hill they have its plenty of seating.
Would like to know too since everyone I know that is directly involved said it was because of facilities too.
I'm going to go out on a limb and think he's suggesting it was more than seating capacity. IIRC, after the FC game there were complaints about crowd control (that was funny because the complainers were the ones out of control). In essence, EHS has no permanent barrier at the rear of their end zones.
Yeah that was one of the complaints but to me that still falls under a facility issue. Everyone knows that FC complained that year. Not even going to go into that again but yes a barrier would have been nice. Then maybe their fans wouldn't have surrounded the locker room and vehicle that the refs were in
It's been that way in Virginia for as long as I can remember that the state semis and championship game are on Saturday. I guess maybe because when you get to this stage there is more travel involved. I obviously love a Friday night game as well but when it gets to this stage the atmosphere is electric no matter what
Yeah all semifinals are Saturday at 1:30 and the 1A title game will be at Salem which is a HS stadium.
First time in 4 years that they haven't been to at least the semis. Very young team this year and just ran into a buzzsaw in Riverheads in the playoffs. All of the top skill guys will be back next year and the qb and rb are only sophomores and the jv team won the district. Sometimes there are just seasons that don't go your way but the kids will hit the weight room in January and start preparing for next year.
Yea it looks like injuries took their toll down the stretch. And Riverheads is rolling right now. If Galax stops them it will be about like two freight trains hitting head on.
I have no doubt Essex will be back with a vengeance next season. Well coached squad with kids who want to succeed. The rematch with Altavista a few years back in the title game was a blast to see in person. I truly feel either of those schools could have won D2 that year.
Yes injuries definitely hurt down the stretch. Had 3 or 4 guys playing out of their normal position the last couple games. Was not the same defense that began the season that held Goochlands offense scoreless at the beginning of the season. Between injuries and the big 400 lb dt quitting it really changed things. But no excuses from anyone and next year is a new beginning.
