The season will be here before we know it and it's time to start up the annual SWVA Sports Top 10 Poll! Bearcat Dad has passed the reigns to me for this fall and I'll be accepting responses for the preseason poll through a Google Form until Aug 28th To fill out the poll, go here: https://forms.gle/4aje4MHRDpnojyEA7

Will these be made public? As always, if you’re so obstinate as to not place teams like Bluefield and Radford on your poll for various idiotic reasons, I feel as if the rest of this site should be aware of the fools skewing the poll, and judge that accordingly.

For me it is reservations more than pessimism. RV is replacing ALOT of skill players several who were 3 year starters. RV will be replacing there QB and that is always an unknown. The Bright point on there team (Outside a Adkins) is there line which is bigger stronger and deeper (Overall) than any RV team up to this point. For me until I see how the New QB and skill players work out I will temper my enthusiasm.

Abingdon had 65 on media day and there's a few stragglers coming in late. I would say they'll be at around 65-70 per usual

Adkins and Sexton were 2 different types of runners Sexton was a homerun hitter no doubt but needed space to work with and have Adkins in the backfield allowed him to be a scary 2nd option. Adkins also had big play capability but I was more impressed with his yards after contact becouse last year he showed that he could get his pad level down and pick up some tough yardage. The Abingdon loss had less to do with the offence than it did the D (However a power running game in the 4th would have helped no doubt. The Richlands game IMHO had as much to do with Richlands running a solid scheam vs the spread (And the Ridgeview D being unable to effectively contain the Richlands QB picking up 1st downs with his legs I look forward to seeing what the Ridgeview Offence comes up with for this season. As for D I would have to give the early nod to Union as they are returning there entire LB crop which was great last season. Ridgeview will be Solid on the D Line but IMHO will be challenged in the secondary with ALOT of new faces this season

I sure hope so!

Neither school could find a 10th game that year Edit that, Bluefield only had 8 games scheduled, adding a 2nd game with Graham gave them 9 games.

Virginia High has 40 ish

Still two months away. No big deal yet. If it were two weeks away now that would be an issue.

Graham/Beaver game this year will have 6 or 7 D1 athletes playing. Pretty impressive for such a small area.

The Fort plays Auburn on 10/4 for homecoming.

Ridgeview / Sproles = wrecking crew

You didn't even mention Abingdon. Abingdon is going to be better than Union this year. They're my pick to win the M7.

No just once that becauseAbingdon went into bullet Park and was not supposed to win!!

Rye Cove 8/17 @ Twin Valley Jamboree 8/23 Twin Springs jamboree which will have TS vs RC from Crunch Bunch through Varsity. Fun little jamboree for the two communities.

The white isn’t bad, but I like the silver better.
