VAN West Virginia cancels football??

[OZZIEOHIO]

They canceled there football season because they didnt have enough kids for a team, Does anyone in our area play them????

[Gobigblacks]

It's Van High School that canceled football, not Man High School.

Man is a school, they were a playoff team last year. Lost to Williamstown in the second round. Van is a team too, they are more than likely the one that cancelled.

The news guy I watched said Mann.

[whs11]

Only 121 students at Van. A total of 11 boys showed up for the first day of workouts, only 10 the second day. At that point the AD decided that it was time to call off the season so that the other schools on the schedule could fill the gaps in their schedules. I'm pretty sure Van was not scheduled to play any Ohio teams this year.

let the mad scramble for scheduling a game begin!!!

yeah read this story in the paper.

[Mad-Dogg]

thats sad to hear

[edforshey]

The problem now is after they canceled their season 3 of the 8 teams have already scheduled other games.

Doesn't leave much of a season with only 5 games and way late to even find a few other games.

[carbon_dated]

I hope Van H.S. finds some games to fill those holes. I'm sure they can find some teams even if they have to go to Maryland, Pa., or Ohio.

I remember watching them a couple seasons ago simply manhandle Bellaire St. John Central @ Wheeling Island Stadium. I hope they get it done. That's a tough job for an A.D. at this juncture, but I think they'll play a schedule.

Good luck to the young men at Van High!
