The young athletes from Floyd County High School continue to excel and bring the school. The Varsity Girls basketball team won the state title earlier this year and now the varsity football team is in the state final after a heart-stopping 14-13 come-from-behind victory over Lebanon in the semi-finals in Floyd Saturday.

Led by senior quarterback Luke Harris, the Buffaloes have, so far, compiled a 13-0 record — one they put on the line in the state final against Gretna at Salem Municipal Stadium this coming Saturday.

Floyd’s girls volleyball team qualified for the district tournament last month and the girls basketball team is projected to return to the state finals in Richmond for a fourth straight year.

An incredible record for a small school in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Southwestern Virginia.

I’ve been trying, off and on, for the past four years to get FloydCounty.Com off and running.

At one time, this was a static web site featuring photos and article about Floyd County, Virginia. I hadn’t updated it for a long time, so I took it offline for retooling and there it stayed…until I decided recently that it was time to try, once again, to jump start this site and turn it into a community information resource for the residents of the area and, hopefully, spice it up with some news, photography and multimedia.

We’re set to relaunch on Dec. 1, 2008.

Please check back then. With luck it will worth the visit.
