SWVAgridiron 1,469 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 I understand it was your opinion and respect it. Just felt i should comment on it and tell how i see it. However, saying the majority of his passes were lob passes is not an opinion but a false statement. As far as Sturgill goes i cant make the comparison. They are different QBs. But from the 5 or so times ive seen Sturgill he wasnt quite as accurate as JLA but of course, more mobile. Ive not watched high school ball for the last 20 years so ive not seen a lot. But hes the best true passer that ive seen. Just curious, who was the best qb youve seen?I know what you're saying. Maybe I just haven't seen enough games from JLA but 2 qbs that really stand out to me would be Shawn Christian who led East Mont to state in 2010 and Luke Watson of Floyd who led them to state in 2009 I believe.

parsons 178 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 While it was an ill advised throw into double coverage it was perfect placement. I wouldn't consider it ill advised with only 8 seconds left on the clock. Ryan4VT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigO 316 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 First, you gotta know Im a Sturgill fan....the kid commands (or commanded) the offense like nobody else in the area..IMO. The RPO they ran was top notch and he ran it well. Having said that, what impresses me about JLA is the fact the defense knows he's going to throw it every play...that's not even a question. Yet he still completes a ton of passes. He also has the benefit of really good WRs and that most definitely makes a QB look better. But I can't help but think that if they (Richlands) had any kind of run game then he would be even better. I'm not blaming the coaching staff, if you don't have a kid that can run then you go with what you have. And they've done that very well this year.

Shawn Christian was an excellent leader but an absolute headcase. I saw Jake Phillips play at Bath County several times as well as William & Mary. Pound for pound, probably the best "local" QB I have seen. I saw Brock Berlin and Drew Brees play several times each while in the military. Nothing I have seen locally compares to that. No offense intended to anyone, just sayin. Deleted Account 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trublue 939 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 The THROW....The CATCH... perfection...(photo via print in Bristol Herald Courier) Emily Ball | Richlands News Press Richlands receiver Scottie Ball hauls in a touchdown pass over a pair of Stuarts Draft defenders with seconds remaining. The score set up a game-winning 2-point conversion, also caught by Ball. rvtne216 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NaderFan 39 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 I wouldn't consider it ill advised with only 8 seconds left on the clock. You make a good point. But if you look at the fan video on the blue tornado facebook page, Booker is wide open in the middle of the field and also wouldve been a TD. parsons 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NaderFan 39 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 For those of you who are more familiar with the drive, what time would i have to leave Cedar Bluff to get to Salem Stadium by 4:30? I know google maps says 2 hrs 18 mins. Was just wondering if that was accurate. Sadly i have to work and probably the earliest i would be done would be around 2. So it would be close.

swva_havok_fan 1,261 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 If there are no wrecks past that 118 exit to Salem, or in the city of Salem, you should make it no problem... if there are, you're screwed blued and tattooed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I interned with the Salem Red Sox this summer. I made countless drives after a home stand back to Richlands. It never once took me longer than 2:20.

SXSW 557 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Quality place to watch a game, I will wish you good luck now and I'll do it again later in the week, maybe we can even throw up a prayer or two. Appomattox is as good as advertised and I hope everything that can go wrong for them does but then Richlands is going to have to be near perfect to win. Is Appo the best team in any class?

They're the best in 1A-3A. I'd probably favor Salem and Dinwiddie in 4A, but it would be a very competitive game. 5A and 6A is a whole different beast...
