If Strasburg gets to the 2 yard line, they’re scoring; of course, I also thought that last week. I just hope it’s a good close game and not a blowout. Championships should be close and have folks biting their nails. The WV championship games last week were championship worthy, I hope the ones today are also.

im still sick we didn't win last week. I finally watched the game again and how we didn't win by 2 tds was jus bad luck. I hope glenvar wins but I still think the best team is at home. I guess that's why they say the best teams don't always win but man that was tough.

Better be, thats the only reason I applied for the OL coach job!

Do you think playing on a faster surface and a neutral site will help the offense? Having another WR hobbled is a huge blow, if his brother is the only fully healthy receiving option, it’ll allow the defense to really hone in and focus coverage and make tight windows even tighter. The QB can clearly throw into tight windows but just judging off last week, he prefers down the field throws trying to take the top off the defense. The initial TD against Union was a perfect laser down the field off his back foot but the receiver had a step and was open. It felt like the Glenvar crew is more worried this week after being pretty confident last week. I think they maybe thought they were considerably better than Union and would win with ease and now know they’re somewhat vulnerable. Glenvar has to continue to cash in on their opportunities and play that smothering defense in the red area, can’t count on Strasburg getting to the two yard line twice with no points.

No two ways about it 😂

There is no comparison between wvmetro news and nfhs covering their respective championship games.

NFHS is probably only option.

I think Glenvar wins 28-7. Hoping for a closer game though.

Anywhere to watch ?

Truth. Agree with 100 percent of that. Game will go down to the wire. Clifford hasn't been discussed much on here. H Well coached program for a long time. Clifford is elite at the HS level in my opinion and about as good as it gets, not just in Class 2, bit all classes in Virginia. Good luck to your boys Memorex. I hope you all win another one and bring it back to the Three Rivers District.

Reasons to think Strasburg will win -The 2 teams Glenvar played with similar offensive styles scored the most points on them this season: Union 20 and Carroll 19, and I believe Strasburg offense is better than both -Glenvar is decimated with injuries. Best receiver has been gimpy for weeks and not much of a factor as a result and now they've lost another receiver. Both of them were starting safeties as well, and now neither start defense. Additionally they lost a 2 way starter on the line against Radford that is very very good. Remaining receivers solid, but not game changers. -Glenvar was outscored 13-0 by Union in the 4th, that is concerning - I believe the Union game took a quite a bit out of Glenvar both physically and mentally. Not sure what's left in the tank. -A lot of people have referenced the Graham game with Strasburg from last year and while Glenvar has a better qb, Graham had MUCH better receivers (not close) -Strasburg won the state semi game by 21...that raised my eyebrows Reasons to think Glenvar will win -They will have the best player on the field for either team, and in 2A ball, that always gives you a chance. -Kevin Clifford is an elite defensive game planner and his kids will be well prepared. Gimicky offenses rarely work on him consistently (ask Giles when he flipped the script on them to win his 1st state) -Glenvar has one of the best scoring defenses in 2a yielding 5 points per game. Their defense makes you earn it, rarely giving up home runs. -Kevin Clifford has previously won a state championship. Been there done that. -Glenvar led a similar style team in Union 21-7 through 3 quarters of play. -Glenvar runs the exact type of offensive system that can really challenge this type of team and that always keeps them in the game.

This isn’t a University of Michigan type secretary is it?

Strasburg also runs ridiculously wide OL spacing. Seems like the OL stretches half the width of the field. That will be interesting to watch. Glenvars LBs are very disciplined and technique oriented. They will have to be because Strasburg, with its crazy wide OL spacing and there lightening quick/very quick acceleration running back is often at the 2nd level of the defense (past the initial DL) just due to their OL wide spacing and the QB getting him the ball quickly and hes immediately through the hole. Last year against Graham, Grahams DL was quick enough to shed the blocks and got lots of those initial contacts on the back before getting through the hole and Grahams LBs were so fast they covered down when he did get through the hole, Except in the 3rd quarter, they actually gave Graham some problems on the ground. 1 quarter wasn't enough to make a difference, but in that qtr, they actually had some success on the ground against Graham (but far to late to matter).

Couldn’t get spacing right. Someone please apply as secretary. 18+ years old mandatory!!

I just think across the front, they're more athletic and disciplined in their blocking scheme than union as a unit. Doesn't hurt that they're not small youngins either. Basic line play and fun to watch. They don't give up their inside gap, block down, kick out and go.

From what I've seen I just think Strasburgs dline is better than unions and u seen how union limited them. I think that will be a problem for glenvar. Especially glenvar not being a strong running team. Plus Strasburg looks to have 3 very good backs and also a very good offensive line. I think will make it easier to remove Dawyot from making a lot of plays on defense with their misdirection. Still saying Strasburg 24-21

Strasburg can throw but not all that well. Very run heavy. Also they are not the best in the secondary. The defense line however is very very good along with the offensive line. Watched some film I believe this is in Glenvars favor but Strasburg can also win. I'm going Glenvar 28 Strasburg 21

Glenvar player that went out injured, Forster is confirmed out for championship game I was told. Broken foot? Ankle?

Union had open WRs whenever they did throw the ball, so I’d imagine a similar situation this week if Strasburg can run the ball effectively. Interesting matchup in my mind is the Strasburg secondary against the Glenvar WRs. Glenvar will be missing a key weapon, 6, but I’m not sure if the opposing secondary can limit the open throws as much has last week. Unions front seven got a lot of love but the back end is very, very good for a HS team. They did a very good job limiting big plays most of the game and made a lot of throws turn into check downs or easy outside breaking routes.

One thing to keep in mind about Strasburg and concerns with them being to heavy run and not enough balance is........Can Glenvar Run the ball well enough? Is Glenvar balanced enough offensively? If Strasburg pulls it off, make note of how well Strasburg defends (or how well Glenvar moves the ball when inside the Strasburg 15 yard line) Grahams WRs from 2024 were better than Glenvars in 2025. Yes, Glenvars WRs are outstanding, but they aren't Edwards and Blake Graham..Those guys would get open all day against most HS teams at any level. Glenvars WR have great hands, are great route runners, and athletic, but they aren't Blake Graham and Edwards athletic.

Strasburg can pass, but I don't believe enough for Glenvar to be worried much about it. Graham's receivers were wide open all day in the finals last year. Double team #74 and keep him from getting to Dawyot...and Glenvar should have success. Im picking Glenvar by 7-10.

If he ultimately decides that he doesn't want the Union job, it will be interesting to see what he does do.
