One thing we really noticed was how large some other 2A towns are in comparison to across Plains. Cross Plains boasts 1,800 people, one traffic light, a Dollar General, Piggly Wiggly, a gas station, a Mexican restaurant, and a family pharmacy/soda parlor. The line gets blurred a little with White House 15 minutes away, but Cross Plains on its own is very small.

Sound pretty rural, never been there. Sounds about like Rn Mountain which is really rural.

I think Parsons has a traffic light and they do have people who know how to use a stove. 
 

I don’t know what 1a has to do with 2a?  Look, as a Huntingdon fan, I  don’t pull for McKenzie, but what they have accomplished this year is impressive. No one in the state thought they would even make it past Moore Co. I’ve heard about the qb for S Pitt being hurt and it would have been a different game if he wasn’t. Do you think McKenzie didn’t have kids that were hurt. They had a big back and linebacker that was hurt and didn’t play half the season. They only lost by a TD. There were at least 3 or 4 equally as tough teams in the west in 1a.

Riverside may not win tomorrow, but they came out of the toughest region in the state. They are a tough bunch. I think it will show tomorrow. Good luck to both teams.

Think it really comes down to whats within 30 minutes. I know several 1 and 2a schools that have big towns.

Seems like an all-time bad idea to interview players before a game. They don’t do that college or the NFL, let alone high school kids.

Yeah it hasn’t worked good for us all year. Always next year right

Have you been to Decatur Co? If you’re not standing in the middle of Parsons, you’re in small rural. Heck, they have the world’s largest coon hunt there. They invented rural.

We have land outside of Parsons, Decatur and Cross Plains are RURAL.

Neither of these teams knows what small rural is. Go to Hancock and you'll figure it out.

Spent many a night in Sneedville, had family friends up there, and I know what rural is. They may not be mountain rural but they are both small country communities.

Part of ER student population comes from Orlinda.  Orlinda has a bank, lodge and a library
