If Phoebus wins, either Salem or Sherando goes there, if Hampton wins, they go to Salemmor Sherando.

No matter who wins Champe/Tuscarora they will go to Dinwiddie/Varina winner.

It’s about the same for all opponents. All have very good highway systems around them. Salem and Sherando has 81 to 64 and Tusky and Champe will hop on 29 or 15 to 17 to 95. Straight shots. Lynchburg is a reasonable location for the winners.

I’m cool with that or putting it in the 804. University of Richmond’s stadium is too top tier not to be holding a big game.

William and Mary and Richmond do not want these games. Guys you just can't play where you want. The venues have to bid. We are lucky we have what we have.

I like it the way it is. Always been a huge fan of the games at Liberty. Wish all 6 was played there.

Liberty is a great venue for VHSL State Football Championships. I plan to come to both of the 3A and 4A state championship games as I now live in Lynchburg

As long as they don’t have the games at 12 and 5pm, I plan on going. That 3 hours between games are rough.

It's actually 11:30 & 5 this year. Last year they allowed you to leave and re-enter. We visited my parents between games. The house is up Candler's Mtn 5 min away.

Good to know they let you re-enter! Praying for a Salem/Varina game this year. We were robbed of one in 2021, hope we get it this year. I know C4 will get the 5pm slot this year.

In my visit to Liberty last year after the long drive from Williamsburg I was extremely disappointed at the next to none food vendors that were available inside the stadium. Only one on the home side with rather lousy food. I didn’t know until after I entered the stadium. The food concession on Fridays at our Wanner Stsdium were 100x better. It holds 3,000+. You need bigger? Great parking,

Hated this at the old U of R stadium. The wait would be even more tragic if the 2nd game was a blowout.

Agreed with the lack of food vendors. Two years ago, I think (and I may be wrong), they had a one food line on each side and the lines were tremendously long. This is something that needs to be improved at Liberty.

Salem coming 😈

Had a similar situation in 2016 with Blacksburg vs Staunton River. Both teams had to travel to W&M

Cool. Tell them to pick you up in 804 on the way.

You just brought back a bad memory 🤣🤣🤣

That 2016 Blacksburg team did some special things in the playoffs. They don’t really get the respect they deserve

From 2016-18. Blacksburg was tough. Now they can barely win a game

Difference between building a program and hitting some good talent. Good programs, even on down years athletically, will rarely dip below 5-5. On their up years, the sky is the limit.

They were even better in 2017 & 2018, but they moved up to C4.

I remember that. Also crazy. If the VHSL wants to raise attendance they may need to have games closer to the finalists home towns.

I agree with you on the attendance piece but I feel like if you love your team/high school football, you’ll go anywhere regardless.

What’s a huge dealbreaker for me are these horrid start times for football and these sessions for the basketball state championships. Who the hell is coming to a game at 11:30 (11 to get a good seat) and staying for another game at 5 o’clock? I get you can leave and come back but that’s just an inconvenience to the fans and a huge drawback for attendance. The sessions for basketball are down right robbery and ridiculous. No other state does this dumb sh!t but the VHSL. I was in Hampton last March to watch Moncan’s girls and Varina’s boys. After Monacan played Hampton, we emptied the gym just to go stand in a long ass line (over 900 people waiting outside) to watch Varina play Hampton’s boys. They don’t care about the kids or you, they just want your $.
