EH31 2,518 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 I'm bored so let's get this started early.. Both teams are undefeated. When (if ever) has that ever happened before? Randyevala and Hokie Bound 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick_Vitale 342 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 Hurley wins by 3 or 4 TDS... maybe more. *Somewhere Rebel_Yell is dancing after my prediction* In all honestly, Grundy is probably the toughest opponent Hurley will face all year. Anything less than a "blowout" cannot be a good indicator for the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluefield researcher 1,195 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 2010 they were both 2-0 when they met. Grundy won 62-14 and went on to finish 9-3. It was the last time Grundy won a playoff game defeating Tunstall 45-14. EH31 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union_Fan 2,155 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 Know nothing about Hurley, but if they beat Grundy by 4 TDs that will be a statement for them. I realize that Grundy isn't Richlands, Graham, Giles, or Union, but they play soundly and with heart. Last night, they ran hard, passed well when they needed to, and didn't make many mistakes.

IRISH-FAN18 323 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 It's hard not to go with Hurley. But I don't think Hurley's going steamroll Grundy like previous opponents. And I won't be surprised if this isn't a closer game than expected or possibly Grundy getting the upset. I don't think any team Hurley's played so far this season has such a diverse group of players to go to like Grundy has on offense. They have a big O-Line, hard runners and a really good tall receiver. And their defense is pretty physical too. I know how Grundy's head coach Plymal is. If I'm guessing he's going throw everything at Hurley's defense and will keep them on their toes. Big test for Hurley. If Hurley does shut Grundy down and run all over them then will know more where Hurley stands but I expect this to be a "dog fight" game. Two undefeated Buchanan Co. rivals, bragging rights, but most importantly Grundy will win the BDD title if they win. Cooking up to be a good one at The Cliff.

Old_Rebel 37 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 Hurley comes out flat could be interesting. Hurley comes out and hits them in the mouth could get ugly quick. I think they'll be motivated. Hokie Bound 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewHampshireRed 94 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 I expect a close, hard fought game by both teams. The teams respect one another greatly, it's the "fans" I'm worried most about. IRISH-FAN18 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old_school 78 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 I think the Golden Wave have a tough two weeks ahead of them. Hurley then Richlands, sheesh I hope they come out healthy. It's great they are 6-0 this year, but I don't think they will beat Hurley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan4VT 4,554 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 I honestly see Grundy at 8-2. Which is a major improvement. Don't think they'll get Hurley or Richlands, but 8-2 could be enough for a home playoff game in round 1. Hokie Bound 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CzarYakov 70 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 Between this and Dan River taking on Appomattox this week, this could change a few things around in the 2A West race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hokie Bound 107 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 I believe Hurley understands this is the best team they've had in awhile and it will be down the road before they have another like it. Grundy is much improved and very well coached. Hurley wins a thriller but Grundy will be a force starting next year dropping to Division 1.

Ryan4VT 4,554 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 Hurleys opponents combined record (of they games they've played) is 8-21. That's why posters have questioned their schedule. Only Castlewood is a "good" win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honestjohn 90 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 Someone needs to help me out, I have never heard of that stuff, never needed it, but some on here have had the need for it I try to take a bath at least once a week, I guess if you must go longer you do get a little irritated.

SWVAFB 218 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 This should be Hurley's biggest test of the season, and a big test for Grundy too. Hurley is tough to beat at home, so I'll go with the Rebels by 7. Old_Rebel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance 228 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 Game of the week...when these two lock horns you can throw the records and everything else out the window and expect a solid night of big hits and drama...The Cliff is going to be as wild as its ever been....for sure.

NewHampshireRed 94 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 HURLEY, Va. -— It’s being billed as the showdown at The Cliff. If it’s anything like last year’s game between Grundy and Hurley this year’s encounter could be the shootout at The Cliff. It’s a county rivalry between the highest scoring team in Group 1A against a team with some weapons of its own as Hurley (5-0) hosts Grundy (6-0) in a battle of unbeatens. The only other Black Diamond District team is in action tonight as Honaker (2-4) travels to Norton to face J.I. Burton (3-3). Hurley features what is possibly the most explosive backfield in the state. Brady Justice leads this talented group of breakaway threats. He was the workhorse with 2,348 yards last year, but now Zack Lester and Devin Tester give the Rebels three backs that can score from anywhere on the field. Lester has scored 11 times on plays of 21 yards or more, via a run, pass or punt return. Six of them covered between 43 and 85 yards, despite missing two games because of injuries suffered in an automobile crash. Tester, who missed part of last season with injuries, has scored on runs of 60, 65 and 80 yards, respectively. And Justice, who did it all last season, has scored 14 touchdowns so far this year, despite fewer touches. They’ve added another weapon this season with addition of strong-armed quarterback Tayten Sykes, who adds yet another running threat. “We have a pretty good amount of speed,†said Hurley coach Greg Tester. “We’ve been able to utilize it and everybody’s contributed.†Grundy coach Craig Plymal says his defense has to be disciplined against the Rebels. “We’ll have to be well-disiplined with our keys and tendencies and win some battles on the line,†he said. “These guys have state playoff caliber talent and create match-up problems.†Grundy has allowed just 17 points in its last two games. The Golden Wave have a solid set of backs, too Jacob McNutt has been a rugged back and leads the Wave with 758 yards in six games, but he’s had plenty of help. Senior Daleton Anglin and sophomore Gabe Fiser have good speed. Last week sophomore quarterback Derick Endicott had his best game to date and connected often with sure-handed receiver Christian Jackson, who had six catches for 111 yards and a touchdown in last week’s 30-14 win at Central-Wise. “They have some good skill guys we have to contain,†Hurley coach Greg Tester said. “We have to tackle well and not let McNutt have too much space. “He runs hard and we have to wrap up and get to the football on defense. We have to come out focused and play with intensity all game.†Anticipating a packed house at The Cliff, Hurley High School Athletic Director Mark Cooper said the gates will open at 4 p.m. Grundy has dominated this series, winning 20 of 25 encounters. Hurley, however, has won the last two, including a wild, 48-46 contest last year at Grundy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWVAgridiron 1,469 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 Am I the only one taking Grundy in this one? haha honestly I know nothing about these 2 schools, didn't even know Hurley existed until last year(not trying to down them, just haven't heard of them). All I know about Grundy is that it's close to Richlands haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
