Overall it was a great game the kids who played really put on a good show. The gray team won 22 - 12 but had the blue team made their two point conversion in the fourth qtr. they would of been within reach of tying the game. Both teams played with a lot of emotion in the 4th qtr. as some knew this was their last game, as you would expect of any game of this magnitude, and a few penalties late. But overall i think some thing SWVA can be proud of. I will commend Coy Bays and the Coalfied for the coverage, not sure i seen any of the other news stations or papers.
Outiside of that a later start time maybe 8pm and possibly on a Saturday, so the heat can drop some, and people can have more time to prepare to get there.
Great event and to Butch Fritz, EMATS and others, who put this on and help support it, i wish you much success with the future games. Also the game was taped by ARC in Norton, Virginia if anyone would like a copy of the game on DVD. It's $20 dollars per DVD and the number is 276-679-4000. 
Personally i think it was great for the area kids, who were standouts at the highschool level, but may or may not of been selected for the VHSL all star game, and perhaps a chance for a few college coaches, to fill a few open spots, with some of the talent they seen tonight.
