Blacksburg is hostingWhere will this game be played?
It will be played at Christiansburg HSThe game is set for Saturday, December 1st @ Blacksburg H.S. @ 1:30 I believe!
No worries.
As a Highlander, it might give me & my Highlander wife time to drop in on the alma mater!
Should be a great game! I am far from an expert on either team as I have only seen Woodgrove live a few times this year and know little about Blacksburg other than the little bit of film I have seen online. I am very impressed with the little I have seen of Blacksburg - the fact that they are the team that is representing the very tough Region D speaks volumes.
Just to get the discussion going on the game - I see this game being won/lost out on the perimeter - specifically in the pass game. This will be crucial for both teams and where the big plays (or lack thereof) will happen and ultimately decide the outcome. One team I believe has a distinct advantage but we will see how it plays out!
Good luck to both teams and I hope the winner comes out healthy for the state final!
Lake Taylor does this as well. Traveled to North Stafford on a Friday for a Saturday 2pm game. Stayed in Charlottesville on Friday night in 2012, 2014, and 2015 for finals. Allows the kids opportunity to get away and get focused on game.Interesting that Woodgrove coming in on Friday to play Saturday game. I know Salem never stays in hotels night before game. Travels and plays. Making no judgement, just find it interesting
Cool..Salem doesn’t need to stay in a hotel.The last two years Salem did not stay in hotel night before State Championship game in Williamsburg. I think most Non Salem fans just assumed that they did.
Yeah, very cool, ain't itCool..Salem doesn’t need to stay in a hotel.
I believe that sitting on a bus for 3 hrs makes the players sluggish.Lake Taylor does this as well. Traveled to North Stafford on a Friday for a Saturday 2pm game.

I just didn't understand how a team staying in a hotel turned into how Salem doesn't need to stay in a hotel. They just show up on game day and kick tail. If Coach Mags wants to avoid a hotel and put his team on the bus for a 4pm start time thats on him for state finals, but semifinals for a 1:30 or 2pm start is kinda pushing it. I know playing at Charlottesville in 2012 at 12pm there was no way we were leaving Norfolk in the am for that game.Oof.
I have no problem with team staying in a hotel. Keeps the team more focused and unified. Some teams don’t do it due to cost.I just didn't understand how a team staying in a hotel turned into how Salem doesn't need to stay in a hotel. They just show up on game day and kick tail.

Funding always plays a key in things...Trust me I know..I have no problem with team staying in a hotel. Keeps the team more focused and unified. Some teams don’t do it due to cost.
How much does the vhsl reimburse for those type of situations?Funding always plays a key in things...Trust me I know..
It makes sense that they would do that. A 3.5 hour drive for a 2pm kickoff would mean they would most likely have to leave Woodgrove by 8:30am. Makes sense so that they don't have to rush the morning of.Interesting that Woodgrove coming in on Friday to play Saturday game. I know Salem never stays in hotels night before game.

I don’t know about video, but ESPN Blacksburg will be doing the radio (Mountaineer Mark on here) if you want the Blacksburg announcers. Mark and Brad Epperley do a great job. Might cover the Bruins every week but not as biased as you might think. A++ team. You can get linked by searching ESPN Blacksburg or find them on the tune in ap (espn blacksburg). I’m sure Mark will chime in with more info. Mark........?Anyone know if this game will be streamed video or radio online? Hoping to watch/listen here in Nashville.
