Virginia High 63 John Battle 0 Final Largest margin of victory for VHS since beating Greeneville 70-0 in 1921

Heels as overrated at VT was 15 years ago. Good job Hokies. Ain't nothin' fina than beatin' Carolina.

So Honaker is the Russell County champion this year. Good start for the Doug Hubbard farewell tour

I'm James May laughing at Jeremy Clarkson's homemade camper going down the highway level laughing at what just happened in Blacksburg. Couldn't happen to a better death penalty deserving bunch.

Radford looked athletic warming up, and looked athletic on the field, but didn't play as athletic as they looked. Both teams had small lines, and GC's might have been slightly better at times. The Bobcats did a good job taking Carson Jenkins out of the game. Radford's QB showed flashes both running and throwing, but was very inconsistent. GC's QB didn't throw much but was decent when he did. I don't see either team winning their respective regions, but it was an entertaining game nonetheless.

I agree with everything you said. The talent on that team this year is flat out scary. When I'm not cheering for Tazewell, I am cheering for Graham. To see the lack of discipline was disappointing to say the least. I can understand some of the procedural penalties because of the starting center being out and lack of practice. However the roughness penalties and personal fouls and some of the on-the-field and off-the-field antics as you described is nothing more than distraction and lack of focus. Attitude reflects leadership. I'm sure Graham's coaches will get on top of things. A well-coached and disciplined team with some talent will beat Graham handily if they can't get their focus. I have the utmost respect in the world for Graham's coaches, but they need to get on top of that yesterday.

Graham-21 Richlands-20 now, you happy you whining little girls?

The score doesn’t reflect it but Tazewell handled Graham pretty well overall last night. Tazewell has some great athletes especially in Mullens & Harris. I hate they lost the other kid to ACL injury. Their freshman QB is going to be great with more experience and a stronger line to give him more time. Tazewell gets the much needed win this week.

Trying is the operative word there. He thinks he’s being cute and smart, but in reality he’s coming across as a buffoon. As for the game itself, the issues with Tazewell aren’t schematic or effort-related. The issues are youth and depth, even excluding COVID-19 protocols. That’s coming up the pipeline though; the middle school team has 51 kids and there’s size and speed aplenty there. Tazewell’s opened up against what are most likely the 2 best teams in the SWD. Neither game was a bonafide blowout. In both games, Tazewell’s shown flashes of wonderful play. It just hasn’t been sustained. As the level of competition ratchets down this week, and as Tazewell returns home, I think the script flips this week. Expect a nice offensive output and a much more effective running game.

At what point do you just… stop TRYING to stir the pot?

I think we can take our Graham goggles off now and be honest. They looked terrible. Hats off to Tazewell for keeping it more competitive than many thought it would be. Maybe with some practice Graham will improve and get more disciplined. My two cents here. After the game when the team is in the locker room the whole team needs to be in there. 4 or 5 outside doing a photo shoot while the team is getting chewed is poor discipline

Liberty(Bedford) 42, Fort Defiance 0 Nice win for the Minutemen. Got to clear the bench in the 4th quarter (my son made his first varsity tackle tonight playing linebacker). Marching band made their debut with their full show and sounded great (my youngest boy made his debut on the field there tonight). First time LHS has shut anyone out in a long time. This plus Hokies win and a victory by my grad school (Charlotte) over Duke. Pretty nice football night for me all around.

What does that say about VHS and that offense? Wow

It's early I wish Union played you guys early before you guys fixed the penalty issues

Heck of a game. Credit Gate City for about winning the game. They got the best of us up front They did an incredible job of neutralizing our speed. I hope our kids learn a valuable lesson that you can't just show up and win. Gate City threw some vicious licks on us. As for the Jenkins kid, he is all that is advertised. Actually, that's not true. He's far, far more than advertised. There is no way in one can tell me and make me believe this kid can not play MAJOR, FBS level slot WR with that speed and those hands. We have some guys on our team that have track speed. There were a few times when we were in perfect position defensively on some of those sweeps with Jenkins and our very fast defenders had the perfect angle, and the Jenkins kid would just "outrun" the angle. He has absolutely BLAZING speed. If this kid isn't offered higher than William and Mary, I will be surprised My take away from this game is not necessarily that Radford is "not as good" as thought. I think we actually are pretty good. I don't think it's necessarily that Gate City is far, far better than what we thought. My take away is.......Richlands is the real deal. They handled Gate City up front and we didn't. Gate City, slightly got the better of us up front. For a team (Richlands) that we blew completely out of the stadium about 6 months ago, they in my opinion have completely turned it around and are going to cause problems, major problems up front for Graham and Union in my opinion. I just can't see Graham or Union beating Richlands by more than 10 points. Time will tell. Lastly, this game speaks to the strength of Region D. Gate City isn't likely a top 6 team, arguably the 7th best team in 2D and they nearly won the game over the team in 2C that is right there with Glenvar and Gretna as the second best team in our Region. Region D is very, very strong and has some great football teams.

What was the final no one posted a score

Proud of our kids. They played their guts out today. They're going to win some games.

Lol oh really now? Wanna know how many DMs I've gotten laughing at you? It's more than 10..THIS WEEK. So who's the buffoon? You calling anyone a buffoon is hilarious considering how dumb you came across during basketball season and before the playoff games. I'm messing around for fun. You thought you were so right, you were so serious and you were as wrong as any person has ever been. So watch that buffoon shit, I do it for fun, you do it in all seriousness and you're STILL way wrong

That's what I was going by. The paper has the QB and 2 RBs back and 3 lineman and a receiver and 6 back on defense

The GMen, as bad as they played /lookeed/penalties vs Tazewell and considering how good VHigh looked against Tazewell, the Graham defense allowed Tazewell 150 total yards and Tazewell had almost two times that amount against Virginia High. Graham also had 408 total yards against Tazewell compared to Va High's 367, and Graham had 17 penalties that helped bring down their total yards. Also, the final score was worse for Tazewell against Graham compared to VHigh, and Tazewell was going to have a goose egg on the board without the badly thrown pick 6. All of that with Graham having few practices/coming off quarantine. I'm not saying Graham beats VH, maybe VH beats Graham, but the numbers above kind of show how dangerous Graham Could/Possibly be if they get out of their own heads. Even if you are a VH fan, if you look at the above, it has to have you a bit worried when you play Graham, and truly hoping Graham self destructs. I think Richlands is the real deal, and to me, the best team they've had since losing to Appomattox in a game they should have won. I think they actually beat Graham, but come playoff time, after the Graham QB gets his feet wet and gains comfort, and the discipline is largely fixed, I would pick Graham to win. Graham is so undisciplined right now to me that it's going to take more than 1 week to fix, and Richlands to me is very good. Good enough that Graham will not be able to just overcome the discipline issues due to the talent gap, because Richlands on the line of scrimmage, although not very big, is vicious, and not a huge disparity up front between the two in my opinion, but come playoff time, no way will I pick the Blues over Graham, and maybe not even Union based on the talent present on Graham's team that is evident from last night. Scary, scary talented 2A team.

From what I heard from a relative of mine. The principal started the search for the next Head Coach for Honaker when Doug Hubbard announced that this would be his final season as the boss of the Tigers. 39 years as Honaker Head Coach. That's dedication to one program

I agree with Mountain Football, downright embarrassing; 17 penalties, not kneeling for injured player, a player picking up a flag & throwing it, not every player in the locker room after the game…our boys have to be better than that. However. the talent & depth overflowing IF Graham can knock off the rust, avoid anymore quarantines, and gain much needed discipline; they could be unstoppable. Right now, Graham is their own worst obstacle to going deep in the playoffs. I hope we don’t have these same issues next week. In 2018 they started out very undisciplined & seemed to start clicking about game four of five. I hope they start clicking 2nd game this year.

I'm out of likes. But seriously, I think the dogs get the w this week.

Giles had to pull all 14 Sophomores up to have enough to field a competitive team. Most of the defensive secondary and linebackers are sophomores. Yeah, they're going to get burned and be out of position a lot, but they're also going to learn. Some really good athletes in that sophomore class. Need to get some beef up front though.

I just watched the camper road trip clip from Top Gear. I've somehow missed this piece of comedy gold. Jeremy: "Been on the go now pretty much seven hours. Could have flown to New York in that time. But no, here, drizzle, cold, frightened...And all I have to look forward to is camping with...a lunatic and a retard"

Yep. In Graham's defense, that's likely and probably about as bad as they can play. One thing I noticed Bradshaw, obviously a stud with around 150 receiving yds on 4 catches. That's incredible stats, but...........that's also 4 touches. 4 touches for a guy the Notre Dame people are saying is one of the top must gets in their class is not a lot of touches. I assume Graham will be more creative getting him the ball, even if its hand offs. He needs 10 touches per game minimum. He may have got handoffs. I don't know and can't recall any, but if only 4 touches, that is far below enough with that kind of talent.

Graham would've been more polished tonight if they would've got to play Bluefield and got that benefit game in against Ridgeview. It was an ugly win tonight, but considering how things has went for them and several other teams in the area I'd be pleased.

I think if I were a Gmen guy, I would have had a heart attack by now with the emotional toll they take on ya!! LOL. This bunch can score on any play, at any given time, from anywhere on the field EASILY and with little effort, then they have the ability to start out a drive 1st and 40 with a clip and unsportsmanlike conduct at the drop of the hat on first down. They can then score on first and forty easily, only to be penalized again. It's really incredible, just remarkable man. Emotionally, very challening for a fan I'm sure, but........I can tell you as a Radford fan, I would love to have that talent. God help anybody if Graham actually gets out of Graham's way, but Graham seems to do a very good job of stopping Graham over the years. When they don't though, you get a 2018. Same thing this year. They have the talent to win a state title, but they also have enough Graham in em to lose the first game of the playoffs with 200 yds in penalties. You just never know with Graham.

i was at that game. Giles sure isnt the team they use to be!! ouch

So, did Princeton really beat Bluefield? Or am I asleep already?

Hon 49 Cas 7 Final

Quit rubbing it in lol

Chilhowie was without their starting runningback, which, if anyone knows anything about Chilhowie, should have been enough to spot Burton 14 points. I don't know that it's a condemnation against Burton, or if Chilhowie is that much improved.

C Burg stuns Abingdon with a 36 yd TD pass with 8 second on clock to go up 33-27 with 8 seconds left. Unless a miracle, the game is all but over. Abingdon had this one in the bank, but C Burg with an impressive last 2 minutes.

37-7 Honaker

Turnovers and crap play calling will do it Everytime

Looks good tonight. Unfortunate though they're so conservative and trying to blow game

Graham doesn't look as impressive as the last few years. Not nearly as explosive it seems like. I think in a few weeks they'll be back to form. They've missed a lot of practices. Tazewell is not bad at all though. They are going to dink and dunk you but they are pretty efficient.

Honakers Lowe with a 60+ yd catch and run for 6. 2pt conv failed Hon 14 Cas 0. 206 left in 2

14-0 Honaker

Covid

Ah, I do remember him. Yes, he was a damn good one as well.

I don’t quite think Graham’s gonna hit 72 tonight. 🤣 Still can’t get over how ridiculous that was.

End 1 Hon 0 Cas 0

I know. I'm at this game watching it. And the booth is playing WWE hall of famer Ric Flair's theme right now

0-0 5:14 left in the first

VHS scored twice in the first 90 seconds

It’s given to refugees because they often are malnourished and have parasites.

I also predicted the Radford/GW score to be 35-14 so I’ve almost been on the money with predicting there games lol

Anxious to see Radford against Galax
