SWVAgridiron 1,469 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 I know that Giles is returning a lot. Unfortunately we will be losing Pennington who really changed the O for Giles when moved to tailback. Luckily Chapman will be back and hopefully will stay healthy throughout the season. I can see them finishing the regular season at 8-2, 9-1 at best. Blacksburg returns almost everything so getting past them the 1st game will be no easy task. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mv91 259 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Richlands will be good again next year. They lose their QB and their top 4 wr's but I think Trey Brown will bring a different element to their offense with his ability to run the ball. I also think Horn, Brown, etc will step in and do well at WR. Bigrhsfan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swva_havok_fan 1,259 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 APPOMATTOX will now be in a different Region???  Yes, they will be Region C.  If I understand correctly, nobody from Region D will see Appomattox till the semis at the earliest.  Region D:  John Battle, Wise Central, Gate City, Graham, Grayson County, Lebanon, Lee High, Marion, Richlands, Ridgeview, Tazewell, Union and Virginia High  Region C:  Appomattox, Buckingham County, Chatham, Dan River, Floyd County, Fort Chiswell, Giles, Glenvar, Gretna, Jame River, Nelson County, Martinsville and Radford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GC_Quincy 582 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 GC will have to replace a 4 year starter at QB that was the majority of the offense. Hopefully we can get some help on the defensive side of the ball too. (Like a new DC) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose111874 967 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 What does Union have coming back? Union loses 3 on the o-line, fannon at Rb but Owens will step in there. Most of defense returns along with zirkle, turner mitchell on offense. Should be better team next year if the line can block.

NaderFan 39 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Let me be the first to go out on a limb, Richlands goes 6-4 or 7-3 next year... Not sure thats going out on a limb. They pick up William Byrd and Blacksburg who were strong teams this year. Not sure what those 2 are losing but if its not much then they should be strong again.

futbolking 766 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Graham may have a "few" signees of their own if the rumors are true (but you know how rumors go). Â Even so, with or without some outstanding transfers, Graham will be solid again next season. Â It will be interesting to see how Allen runs the offense, he has a rocket for an Arm and can scramble and take it to the house. Â Big issue for Graham will be improving the line of scrimmage. Â They got better as the year went on, but still need some more size and experience, but there are some promising young men coming back. Â Graham will have several athletes, Cousin will be hard to replace, but Jazaire Reed shows a lot of promise to carry the load at RB and Chris Chinault could be a good change of pace. Â Just need to shore up the line of scrimmage... Of course T. Cooke will be back at WR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futbolking 766 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 Union, Graham, Richlands, and Gate City will be the most consistent top 4 in D. Graham needs to focus on lineplay this upcoming season.

GoBearsGo 142 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 I agree with the above mentioned comments on Union.. O-Line will be the deciding factor. Running game should be as good, if not better IMO. We lose Fannon but Owens and Jenkins have the speed, just not the same power as Fannon.  Passing game should follow suit, all we lose there is Jenkins but Falin that's a sophomore should step into that spot easily and even adds depth at TE. Defensively, we lose two good DE's in Colot and Guerrant but there's some young talent there too. Should be another good year for Union. I expect 9-1 or 8-2 at worst. Possibly a postseason run. I'll go out on an even further limb and say that after the 2017 season you will see a significant drop off at Union. We have some young talent, just not enough to go around.
