Parkersburg supports its HS teams in ALL sports..Not just football and hoops. Attendance at all games is very high. And they travel well also. My kids went to a school in the southern part of WV and when 'we' hosted either the Big Reds or the Patriots of Parkersburg South, the crowd from the visitors matched or sometimes exceeded that of the home school.
I'd like to see Parkersburg win this contest, but am realistic enough to know that some large city will win..
