Abingdon @ Northside

I was at the pre-season controlled scrimmage.  It appeared that both teams were evenly matched.  Northside has a good running back who is shifty and runs hard.  Northside also has a solid defense as well.

 

What is really hard to tell is how much better did both teams get since that time.  I believe that the Falcons have a chance if we play well in all 3 phases of the game.  I will be there cheering on the Falcons.  

 

Good luck to the rest of the SWVA teams next Friday and Saturday.  Hope everyone plays well and stays injury free.

I'd love to see the Falcons beat Northside,  but it will be tough.  Both sides of the Falcons line will need to play well.  The O line will need to give Sturgill time to pick out his receivers and the D line will need to eat up blocks so the LB's can stop the Northside running game.

I will be pulling for you guys and hope you guys take another big step !

Good luck Falcon fans !

Likewise guys I would like nothing more to see Richlands keep rolling.  There were plenty of moments this past friday where the Falcons could've laid down and quit but they didn't and once Sturgill and Co. found the chink in Rustburg's armour they took full advantage.  Thank goodness this season the Falcons had to win a close one in OT with Blacksburg.  That definitely helped them maintain their composure and pull off a win in the face of adversety.  I was shocked to see them go for the 2pt conversion in the first OT.  I guess it just proves sometimes you just have to go for it.

Well i personally think this one comes down to Abingdons defense. I think they can score on anybody. If Abingdon can hold them under 27 points.....I think they win. I believe Abingdon can and will score at least 28 points. I'm hoping this happens. The Falcons under Reed and Colobro have brought a different swagger to the players and they love it. They play with intensity and want to knock you back to your bench so to speak....lol.

 

I really believe they have a better chance than most expect......Good Luck Falcons!

What's the status on Yates? I know he went out of the game last week after the head to head hit and never came back in.

Yates is back at full speed.  He was kept out as a precaution.  He is fine.  Did lose Vandyke though.  But from what I understand there will be a few that will play both ways.  I think the Blankenship kid and Crosswhite will platoon to fill his loss.

The Falcons impressed me with their composure against Rustburg last week.  I picked up the game right before Rustburg scored their last TD in regulation.  I thought, that's the game, but Sturgill took command of the situation and marched them down the field, with 3 helping penalties from Rustburg.  Reed going for the 2 pt conversion in O/T--he knew it was do or die time for the Falcons.

 

I have a feeling that the Falcons are going to make this a game.  Their offense is not in question, but they will have to bring their "A" game on defense. 

 

With Sturgill's leadership, and aggressive play calling by the coaching staff, taking the Falcons for the win.

 

GO FALCONS

That right there. 

 

We are also rooting for the Blue Tornado to bring the win home against Buckingham.

This......

 

Great job Falcons! So glad you guys shocked all in the Roanoke area. Getting a little more confidence and playing loose can really pay dividends. Now go get LB!

 

One proud fan here.....Go SWVA!
