Middle School Jamboree Set For Saturday
By David Gravely
Football fans will be able to get a taste of preseason action this weekend, as both of our county middle schools will be hosting and participating in the 2011 Pulaski County Mini Classic this Saturday.
The Dukes will be playing at Dublin Middle Schools Soldier Field, and the Orioles will be playing at Cool Springs Field on Dora Highway in Pulaski. In all there will be ten teams in action. Each contest will consist of two ten minute period, with each period treated as a half of a game. There will be no kickoffs, with each possession beginning on the 35 yard line. Teams will be allowed to punt, but the only action will be the snap and the kick, with the ball being spotted where it is caught, downed, or where it rolls dead. All other regular rules will apply.
Dublin Middle School will start the action off at Soldier Field at 9 am, as they take on Floyd. At 10 pm, Blacksburg will play Tazewell. Scott Memorial Middle School will face Floyd in the 11 am spot, followed by Dublin and Tazewell at noon. The final matchup of the day in Dublin will find Blacksburg taking on Scott Memorial at 1 pm.
Pulaski Middle School will get the action started at Cool Springs when they take on Patrick County at 9 am. Radford and Fort Chiswell are featured in the second matchup of the day starting at 10 am, followed by Patrick County and Christiansburg at 11 am. Pulaski and Fort Chiswell are both back in action in the noon game, and the final game of the day will be Radford vs Christiansburg.
Full concessions will be available throughout the day, with proceeds from those sales going to help the middle school sports programs. Be sure to come out and support some of the future Cougar football players as they get their 2011 seasons underway.
