Due to Hurricane Florence, the Virginia High Bearcats contest with the Wise-Central Warriors was moved to Thursday night. However, the Bearcats stayed true to their M.O. so far this season. After scoring two touchdowns in their first five offensive plays and building an early 27-7 lead, the Bearcats had to fight to hold on for a 14-point win over the young but resilient Warriors.
The game was not put away by the Bearcats until freshman running back Stevie Thomas scored on a 26-yard touchdown run, with less than two minutes to play.… 
For only the second time ever, the Virginia High Bearcats meet the Wise-Central Warriors on the gridiron Thursday night. Last year’s matchup in Wise saw the Bearcats roll to a 31-14 victory. This year’s contest features two very different teams.
The Warriors are led by former Virginia Tech Hokie football standout, head coach Luke Owens. Luke has a very young, but hungry team, led by junior playmaker Isaiah McAmis, who is also a standout basketball player for the Warriors.… 
Expectations for this game by most fans in the region, were for the undermanned Bearcats to go into the Stone Castle and get roughed up by the 5A Vikings. This game did not meet those expectations.
In an extremely physical game, the 2A Bearcats fought, scratched and clawed with the bigger Tennessee High squad before finally running out of gas late in the 4th quarter.
With one of the best teams that Tennessee High has produced in recent memory, the Vkings were able to make some key plays late.… 
Friday night marks the 102nd meeting all-time between the 2A Virginia High Bearcats and the 5A Tennessee High Vikings, and has been voted CoalfieldSports.com’s “Game of the Week.” The V-T game is one of the oldest high school football rivalries in the country. In 2016, Kirk Herbstreet of ESPN’s College GameDay, mentioned the rivalry during the national broadcast of the pregame show for the “Battle at Bristol” between Tennessee and Virginia Tech.… 
The Virginia High Bearcats received some preseason hype from fans and coaches around the region. For the second consecutive week, the Bearcats have shown flashes of greatness but have also shown to be sluggish. In a complete reversal of week one, Virginia High started off a little out of sorts before taking off in the second half to pull out a 20-13 week two victory against the John Battle Trojans.
The Bearcats were led by two-way standout, Aaron Rose, who had a carry for 0 yards in the first half.…
