  1. Rookie Post...not Rookie LPD I was fortunate to play against Coach T. Dotson..Mr. Riggs..Mr. Harry Frye..PV Coaches..Coach Dave Ryder and Mr. Cummins. We would have taken care of this situation in the locker room or on the practice field..BEFORE it occurred on the field/court/diamond. The Helicopter Moms..Lawnmower Dads..Grandstand Usta' Bees have weakened the character and ownership responsibility of our student-atheletes. I will not be popular on this Forum so bring it.

    Graham vs Virginia High

    The times he has played at QB I have been very impressed. If Cam was to be injured, it obviously would hurt, but Lester can hold his own. Great athlete.

  3. My thing is i have no problems with any team in our region. I pull for the gmen no matter who they play.and will pull for any team from our region if the gmen end up staying home. We as adults should never have problems with high school teams, they are just that high school kids. They have yet to really grow up and live life and have many different experiences outside of school.yes some may have what we say are attitudes but i see a lot of that on here also. So as adults we need to maybe cut the teams a bit of slack and let the coaches and schools deal with the rest. As for graham it seems to me their lack of discipline early on has gone away and they have improved a lot. Now i know i will get flack on this and probably deserve it but this is just my opinion

  6. Chilhowie beat the #3 team in Region D by 35 points, and doubled up (23) the #2 team in Region D. Those were the only two teams to score more than 10 points on Chilhowie this season. Galax will be the first real challenge Chilhowie will face (and a challenge they are).

  7. I will gladly cheer on whatever team makes it to the state for Region D and be happy for them. After all, they are all high school kids working toward the same goal no matter the school they attend. Are they always perfect, not a chance but they are kids. As adults we should be the standard bearer for sportsmanship. With that said, Go GMen! If another team comes out on top for Region D, then I'll cheer "Bring it home to SWVA boys!"

  8. What happened to sucking it up and playing in the rain? I know they want it to be even matched for both teams, but football can’t always be played on a perfect day with sunshine and it be 65!!! Man things have sure changed over the years!!

  9. Lester would be hard to handle for any defense at the QB position. Smart, very fast, and has a nice touch on the ball with his passes.

    Eastside vs Chilhowie

    I don't disagree, but it seemed like he was throwing a lot of shade at Chilhowie.

    GC Head Coach

    He would be good for most of the kids and is probably what the program needs. Hed get alot of kids to come out and play for the simple fact of who he is alone and probably breathe life into the program. But the special snowflakes and their parents would faint when he got on their arses and tried to toughen them up. Would be an interesting hire though.....however, not a snowball's chance in hell. He would have been a nice hire after Colobro left when there was still plenty of spine in the program. Still some tasty food for thought.

  18. Another member posted this has been an issue all season with Ridgeview (on this thread). I don't pretend to know and do not know Coach Mullins but if that's remotely factual , it wasn't nipped in the bud. Hopefully, playoffs will go off smoothly without any unacceptable behavior occurring from any teams or players.

  19. Graham has the best athletes in the region and it’s not even close. Speed kills and they have plenty of it. The only thing that will slow them down at far a region D goes is injury, a team dominating them at the line of scrimmage (they are much improved in that department from years past), or a muddy field. VA high has a thunder and lightening back field with Rose and the freshman. The Mulumba kid is a freak on the d line along with #77 but they played before and it wasn’t close I’m not sure how much losing their leader early in the game had to do with that but as long as graham doesn’t over look them it should be the same result.

  20. Galax would have won that game last year 4/5 of the time they played. Chilhowie caught them on time #5, and Chilhowie out-executed them and out-hustled them. Galax would have given Riverheads a much better game, but Galax didn’t earn the right to be there.

    As much as I would like to see Eastside make a game of this, I just don't see it. Chilhowie rolls.

    Eastside vs Chilhowie

    Being able to have one way players is a huge advantage for them considering they are a 1a school. Chilhowie vs PH round 2 might be a good game if Palmer can make adjustments the second time around but I still don’t know if they will help. If everything goes to as it should and everyone stays healthy Chilhowie and Galax should be fun to watch

    Richlands 1st rd game

    Richlands doesn’t have over whelming speed but they are always going to be in the right spot so that makes up for it. I think the QB is accurate enough to hurt Grayson outside. Grayson should have some success moving the ball with the veer but Richlands will have all their gaps covered it will be hard to break the long one.

    Akers Out at GC?

    If GC wants a run only guy then reed is the answer. The problem is that he builds no relationship with players. He is a jerk (can’t use the proper wording) and within 2 years the whole team will hate going to practice. Good luck.

    GC Head Coach

    He can stock his coaching staff with some of the other GC posters. If that happened, GC state champs in 2019 And 2020 And 2021, 2022, loss in the 2023 finals because of a referee conspiracy, and then winning again in 2024.

  42. Very saddened to hear of the passing of Devon Johnson. Him and my eldest son were good friends,so it has hit hard here as well. He was a tremendous football player and a good guy. Please lift his family,friends,and this community up in your prayers tonight and the days to come. He will be profoundly missed:(
