Seating going to be an issue?

Good hard nosed game ....neither team performed well offensively but both teams played hard on defensive side......Grayson made many uncharacteristic mistakes....some of that had to do with Richland defense. Hard fought game.....Grayson pretty limited offensively. Richlands was better team tonight regardless of stats

Weather good...field looks ok.....Richlands has big advantage based on eye test but we will see. Big recievers!

Wow....I somehow forgot Appo....I agree , they might have something to say about it

Region C is a little down this year but teams still strong enough to pull upsets......personnally think Graham substantial favorite in D 2 this side of state.....Chilhowie may be 2nd best team in SWVA overall?

Just saw Richland roster ...if accurate they have MAJOR size advantage at skill positions.....Grayson skill on both sides very small

Gate City needs to be patient and find right fit for kids....tune out noisy parents etc....find a guy who will work ,establish relations and build with emphasis on kids. After all this chaos etc it is a big hire go GCHS

This is a pretty good assessment Jags 52 ....Grayson pass D has given up a ton of yards past 2 weeks.....they just have very little team speed

Suprised even having discussion concerning Grayson this late in year as 2 seed......definitely over-acheiving again which makes them "little" dangerous. Last night huge contrast in speed/athletes with GW. Grayson just grinded away and survived...much like they have done all year. Next 2 Fridays could be rough for them

Grayson will lose both...IMO....dont mean to be harsh if you have seen them play you will know why

Other than the score this outcome should not come as a surprise...Graham has by a significant margin the best athletes currently in 2D...they arguably have had the best the past 5 years...if they can continue to reduce self inflicted wounds which was evident last night they very well could win it all

Fort also had a ton of returners ....based on eye test they have by far best looking kids in MED

475 was set as a hard number...if you are 475 and under 1A ...if above 2 A.....they are below=1A.....I think Roanoke paper had their current enrollment 447...it will be under 400 very shortly

Good point Sixcat

The players Grayson lost were all 2 way starters and MAJOR contributors....they are decent but no where near the were at end of last season

I think this will be a close game...neither team has any real speed and both want to grind it out

Grayson has been a team for the past 10 years that would throw stops and fades galore...always big part of offense ...have had 5-6 receivers with monster numbers during that period...they are really struggling in that area...even more so in secondary where loss of the tall safety has been huge.....they gave up all kinds of big pass plays yesterday...their running game was solid.....very little speed however

Excellent point......PE has turned into a joke......many PE teachers caoch for a few years and then just step down and monitor recess for rest of career,

Shocking when you consider where they were numbers wise 10 plus years ago

I stand corrected ...here was info sent home to parents 12th 109 11th 117 10th 124 9th 129 8th 99 as of March 30 2018

That is actually spring 2017 number......Grayson is 481 as of this moment and looking at 450's Fall 2018.....petition to drop already in place

Grayson for overall purposes based on travel and rivalries is exactly where they need to be....had no affect on basketball where they were a 2 seed and no affect on baseball where they were a 3 seed and outpointed a Lebanon team with 16 wins. Softball team will learn from this a prepare a little better schedule in future. Unfortunate for them but not a reason to question decision of school system which has to consider a ton of other factors. With Grayson move to 1A next cycle will take care of these issues.

Grayson is in MED because of travel and more importantly enrollment....the last VHSL figures from spring 2016 have them at 532......they are under 500 as of right now and look to be around 450-60 when HS opens next fall. Shocking when 10 years ago the had enrollment of 675+. They are right where they need to be enrollment and travel wise

Awesome job!!! Really enjoy reading these .....do see one correction needed...1991 William Monroe defeated Page County in Region B Final (2nd Round) not Luray...score was 20-12 was 2nd round rematch from reg season,,,,page QB was Beaver Dean with Buck Gordon at FB....Buddy Comer was Page HFC. Page had upset a previously undefeated Clark County the week before in 1st round Thanks for all hard work!!

Per Roster from Saturday game Galax starts 6 Seniors and 3 Juniors on Defense. Not sure that is a young Defense
