Most:

Union

Richlands

Va High

Galax

Graham

 

Least:

Marion

Burton

George Wythe

Glenvar

Tazewell

 

In no order. Union and Richlands did well as expected, Va High/Galax/Graham all did better than I expected.

The 5 on my least list did way worse than I could have believed, George Wythe and Tazewell I was really pulling for along with Graham and Galax.

Most - Union and Richlands

Least- Norton and Gate City

 

 

Norton stands out the most though because all the hype.  Gate City will improve as the season goes just hopefully after the Union game

Central was very impressive last night as well

Central looked solid last night, but Eastside was pretty bad. So, difficult to truly judge how good they really are. May find out next week after their game vs Ridgeview.

 

A couple of observations...

 

QB was Central's best player. Several solid looking kids at multiple positions. Not much speed. And I don't think I have ever seen a 300+ lb kicker at the HS level.

 

Do you like the red helmets? I thought the black ones were sharper.

I like the red helmets. Clearly Union is the team to beat in the MD, but no way will the Warriors finish at the bottom of the league as folks have predicted. This team is pretty deep and versatile. They may surprise some folks. Ridge view will have their hands full Friday night

Definitely not last. With the MD this year Central has the potential to finish anywhere from 2nd to 5th. While I do think Union is the favorite, there is no guarantee they will finish undefeated in the MD this year.

Abingdon was very impressive, even though it was a game they were supposed to win, they still looked great.  Have some things to work on of course, but looked good nonetheless.  Least impressive was GC....just because they are always so good.

I don't expect Central to finish last, next to last is more like it.  There is no way Central can gauge their selves with Eastside.  Now show well against Ridgeview and I'll come back and apologize for the prediction.

Poor Jenkins. Just like Rye Cove last year, my heart really goes out to the kids on teams like that.

 

Did you want to just go out on the field and help them at any time last night?

I couldnt have felt worse for them. The 2nd team put it on them and the 3rd string was superior to them too. 

 

Being a big school is gonna take some getting used to for me

I thought Abingdon looked tough on offense but their defense is suspect. I think a ground and pound team may give them fits. Their QB  and skill players may be the best in SWVA though. They remind me of a PAC 12 team with a lot of offense and not much defense. John Battle is rebuilding but they weren't terrible. I think they can win 2 to 3 games this season.

Most impressive---RIchlands....destroyed a Gate City team that is always tough....Richlands is going to be hard to beat folks

 

Least impressive---Narrows....Blown out by Auburn(that is average at best) and all i've heard from Narrows fans is this set of players are the ones that will turn the corner for the Green Wave...well guess not huh
