Ryan4VT 4,554 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Ryan, in your predictions for the year (page 1 of this thread) you say that AHS will lose 2. Which 2? I'm not debating you (yet), just wondering who you think AHS will lose to. Richlands and either GC or Blacksburg. I think GC rebounds a bit this year, and Thad will have the Bruins looking good again, and that game is on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsons 178 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Wade will definitely be hard to replace. I don't even think you can to be honest. I think you guys are forgetting about Holmes though. Kid was probably one of the best overall defensive players to come through Richlands, same thing for Wade. I don't see there being a defensive lineman that reaches his caliber for many years at Richlands. No doubt both were great players.....but I recall similar statements being made when Richlands lost Travis Payne, Brandon Gayheart, and Garrett Arms after the 2005 season.

We've been blessed at Richlands to have some amazing LBs over the years. You could say these same things when we lost Wicks, Claybourne, Thomas (rip), etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#1BLUESFAN 169 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 I do think Richland's is gonna be hard to beat this year but you look at schedule and there are a few teams on there that's gonna be scary good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon Mania 235 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 Richlands and either GC or Blacksburg. I think GC rebounds a bit this year, and Thad will have the Bruins looking good again, and that game is on the road. We shall see. Richlands has to play on the road. Its been back and forth the last few years with the home team winning. Advantage AHS Gate City isnt going to improve that much in the near future. They lose to RHS, AHS, and Union again in 2016 Blacksburg is trying to fill alot of holes due to graduation. We'll have to see what they have in the cupboards. On a side note: AHS will have the largest senior class on their roster in a decade with 18-21 seniors with significant playing time under their pads. If AHS is going to make a run at a 3A state title this is their year to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan4VT 4,554 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 AHS will be a great team. They could easily go 10-0 if everything gels right. Or they could slip up a time or two. Same goes for RHS. I think RHS, AHS, Union, and Graham are the top 4 of SWVA this year. Bigrhsfan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West12aaa 99 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 I see gate city improving and beating one of the three, realistically Richlands, Abingdon should be a steam roller and plow to the semis in 3a, then the magic begins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#1BLUESFAN 169 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 A team better be able to score a lot of points to beat Richland's because the offence should put up as many point as they want.in my opinion anyways.Howie and ball are gonna be hard to Stop....

Bigrhsfan 884 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 I also think that Abingdon should be the best team in our part of the state. The experience they got last year in the playoffs will be huge for them. Should have them really believing in themselves and have a lot of excitement in A town ! Richlands should be a strong 2nd and "maybe" as good, but it all depends on how they replace the losses at D. The O will/should be really good especially if they get a couple of guys to step up on the O line. A lot could happen to all the local teams between now and the start of the season........injuries,transfers and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swvafbfan88 0 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 2A is a toss up between Richlands, Graham, or Union. In 1A I don't think anyone can compete with GW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West12aaa 99 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 Galax has the potential and I'll take a dominate line about any day of the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixcat 2,919 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 Galax has the potential and I'll take a dominate line about any day of the week. They have to replace two all-state caliber (one voted, the other snubbed) linemen. I believe the line will actually be a year older, wiser, stronger and better but time will tell. I have said it before, with the kids between 7th and 9th grades right now, Galax could be in the beginning stages of something truly special.
