15 straight weeks? That's a little much, dotcha think?
Shoot, SW VA teams that opened a week after the KY teams get 2 off weeks. Yeah, I think that's a bit much, but Eastern/Northern VA basically controls the rule-making and most of them don't want to play a game before school starts. And since they rely on kids for Summer help at the beach & Kings Dominion, the state rule says schools open AFTER Labor Day - unless you have a history of bad-weather, which is how we get to start "early" - around Aug. 21 or so.
Anyway, I think mid-August has been too early for either school or football to start. I just hope we see more OOS match-ups. Who wouldn't like to see Matewan play Pikeville or Belfry? And maybe Haysi can get East Ridge back.
