That’s ridiculous! 5 hours from Danville/Martinsville, 3 1/2 from Roanoke area. Dang at least put it in Pulaski!Probably UVA-wise, least that's what I heard earlier this season

I wonder if E&H is a possibility?
If you honestly think that’s a good venue then you got it play boy! 2 hours from Graham.. 5 from Martinsville & Dan River and 3 1/2 for Radford. If you can read were talking supersites. Winning your Region has nothing to do with playing games there.Here's a Kleenex crybaby.
Win your region and you won't have to worry about it.
No. Ridgeview's gym seats more than Emory. Lol

Ok. Ridgeview's gym looks really nice when I googled it! I think the concern is more about a somewhat central location and making sense geographically for all involved. Putting a super site in a county that borders another state doesn't do that.
First of all, I’m not whining. No fans outside of the teams are traveling through Nancy’s barnyard to watch a game that could be played 3 hours East. Secondly, I did not know that they changed the set up for this yeat. Good for the VHSL.Well, the thing is, last year they said for 6 years that 2A QF and SF would rotate between JMU and Wise. That lasted all of one year, because if I had to guess, the 1A schools (Lancaster for sure) probably whined and moaned about having to come to Bristol last year. (1A was supposed to rotate between Bristol and Salem for 6 years)
If you want to make it fair for everyone in 1A and 2A anyway, then play it at Salem Civic Center, much like the football games are played.
I just get tired of folks like DSH who whine about having to come to the mountains. And before I get labeled a SWVA homeboy, you can ask Union fans, I scolded them as well for whining about travelling to Dan River and Appomattox last year and Clarke County the year before.
Bottom line, if you take care of business and win your region, you're going to get to play at the least a QF game close to home. If you lose in the region final, suck it up and hit the road.
Me personally, I think it's ridiculous for a 1A east team to travel across a whole state to play a game. Just think if Union or Ridgeview had to travel to King George Co or to Colonial Beach to play a game.

Martinsville has done it before and won and believe me, they will again. All we’re saying is...D*mn at least put the game somewhere that’s accessible to all parties. Put the 1a games at Wise and 2a at Emory or VA High if you’re going to play in SWVA. Smartest thing to do is use the Dedmon Center at Radford but hey gotta please you SWVA folks. But since you said that they’ve changed to the old way of quarterfinals at Wise, Salem, JMU, etc..Win or travel.I'd do it in an instant if it was earned. Meaning they earned the "home court" advantage. Martinsville and Dan River folks whine about having to come to Wise though to play Gate City when it is apparent that Gate City will have the higher seed. Suck it up buttercup and make the trip if you get that far.

You sure got me!You don't have any gas money to travel that far. Aw, that's just a darn shame. Maybe those Martinsville folks will loan you some.
DSH, if you need some gas money give me a holler. I'll meet you at Old Country Store on 58 west and you can fill up. Full tank from there will get you to Wise. Even give you enough money to eat at Cracker Barrel in Abingdon if you want.
Traveling from Lancaster to the west of va is crazy for a high school game nobody wants to make that long trip and we all are complaining about it lol
These games should be played at a neutral site halfway between schools involved. Most high schools don't have a gym suitable for tournament games.
