The Galax fans after winning by two safeties and a last second field goal that boinked across the crossbar.

No one in the state lost their minds as bad as Kelly Wilmore (Grayson county superintendent) did when that field goal bounced over. Especially after stating that his coach when he hired them had never lost to Galax and wouldn’t in the future.

Shouldn’t of never been a play anyway. The half should of ended after the prior play.

Essex was averaging 45 points coming into the game.

To drop 49 the week prior to winning the State championship with two safeties and field goal that bounced across the cross bar. You can make this stuff up. I need a drink and I don’t drink. Thanks for the support from all you guys.

You just won the day

Greatly appreciated Sir . We are going to need all the help we can get.

A couple things blatantly obvious this first half. CCC is a stud which we all knew. Clark is special, special. And these announcers are so RH biased it’s horrid

Talbot didn’t know where he was at after that hit

19-14 Radford. RH is getting picked apart on defense but Radford can’t stop CCC

Having to have watched Galax play Riverheads for the past 7 years I cannot explain just how Freaking maddening it is to defend that offense. You stop it and they make a slight blocking adjustment and bust a long run. To beat Riverheads you have to be able to run against them. So Radford will have to mix it up and be successful when they have the ball, as they won’t get it often.

You guys had a great team. Very explosive offense - nothing to hang their head about.

I will say Honaker had as explosive of an offense that I have seen in quite a while. Although Galax’s line wore on the big boys up front and Tucker was just punishing people today.

Honaker has a explosive offense and can fly . Great season although I wonder if the Honaker coach believes if Galax belonged now?

Scuttlebutt is Honaker coach stated on a podcast that he felt really good about the matchup as he didn’t think Galax should be there! He may very well win but wow big statement about a perennial team in the semis - Bold move Cotton let’s see how that works out for him.

Holston announcers are pretty good as well they give credit where it is due

The more they get the ball into Ashworths hands the better the outcome of the game is.

He was a class act.

Lol Galax has been so one dimensional all year they would probably have to call a time out and reassess if they saw less than 9 in the box.

From the game film I have seen Honakers whole offense is based on finding a mismatch and exploit it on-a play. They will change the play at the line frequently trying to do that. Honaker is a high flying offense that certainly has talent. On defense they are big across the front. Galax is Galax so it will be an interesting match up.

Who is the better team of the two in your opinion?

A couple of items Redtiger made an outstanding point that RH had got to coast into the finals each year since really 2016. As they had a first round bye plus the competition I the regionals will be better than the past. Sixcat made this point several times in here - the gap between 2A and 1A is light years wider between the two this year than it has been in the past in my opinion this could help RH if they make it to the final game as it make them more prepared.

Galax rattled them early and the QB and coach struggled the rest of the night. Galax dominated the line of scrimmage all night- something they did not do the first game

This is not a knock on Riverhead or Giles although their offenses can cover up alot of talent issues (if there is any)just be shear schemes. Much easier to block a D lineman at angles with help and you are just trying to get them turned a certain way than straight up try and man handle a DT with a gap assignement by yourself
