I decided to attempt to keep track of Class 1/2 on the west side. Probably should have picked a different year! haha Trying to keep track of all the ppd/ccd games has been nuts. Thanks to @VHSLhelper for his "moves" thread! Also, due to the amount of teams playing private schools and way out of their region, more teams to keep track of. Don't shoot me if these aren't 100% accurate, I'm sure I've missed some. If you see a mistake, let me know. D2... 01.) Graham 3-0 62 20.66667 02.) Ridgeview 3-0 60 20 03.) Va High 3-0 60 20 04.)

I’ve said all along that the individual ballots should be made public, like the college polls. If you’re dumb, we deserve to know that you’re dumb!

GW had one kid test positive at an outdoor dance so all kids have to quarantine who were at the dance! Dumb!!!

NO DANCING?!!! If we don't let'em dance, they'll be playing a game of "tractor chicken" with Kevin Bacon.

Exactly...people go back and watch film in slow motion and "find" all kinds of penalties...it's usually the losing team too but not always. Bad calls gonna happen, nobody is perfect...but everyone is perfect when you slow film down and dissect every play...refs doing it at full speed in game

Your story, no offense, is the oldest one in the book. You can take ANY game ever played in the history of football from little league to the NFL and go back and watch the tape/film, and find calls that may not have been holds or illegal blocks, etc, and more important, you can easily find the no calls that were holds, etc. It's to easy dude. In the end, good calls and bad calls in football games wash out. This means that across the country, across the board, when considering 1000 games, the Refs for the most part get it right. It's to easy to take one individual game and run with it. Union in my opinion, got away with More holds than they were called for in that game. This wasn't talked about much because the story was Graham's big play and speed and Union's smashmouth run game with both having success, but another story was evident in that game. Union had lots.......and I mean,......lots of trouble actually blocking Graham on many plays that required holding to avoid a big loss on plays that went laterally. Up front, off tackle in the second half, no holding by Union there. They were having success with the quick hitters off tackle, but throughout the game, a bunch of the plays that Union ran that went laterally, around the ends had lots of grabbing and tugging of jersey.. I think Union got away with a bunch of no-call, 50-50 calls for holds. This doesn't mean the officials made bad calls. They were 50-50 holding type calls I think on Union that Union received the benefit of the doubt more than Graham and that wasn't intentional by the officials, it's just the way the ball bounces. A 50-50 call also means it's not automatically a hold. Just the way it was called.

I have no clue what they are doing in Reg D. I kind of like the "Top 4", but don't think it's fair if districts aren't even. However, regardless of what Reg D does, if semifinals are determined by VHSL like they have in the past, powerpoints will determine hosting site.

I don't know about them -- but I came VERY close of giving a first place vote to Twin Springs on accident hahaha.

Can we out the person who's already voted Union #1 in this week's poll?

There ya go, Salem and VA High can play.

I think that they are trying to punish the team by taking away playing time. That won't happen if they forfeit to William Monroe. I think that they should forfeit both games.

I hate the term "trap game"...good coaches get players ready to play...I think that term is just an excuse if the favorite happens to lose

I'm out of reactions 🤣

Don’t let facts get in the way of that narrative!

People game is over move on

And yet…Graham emerged victorious still. Exactly the point I made Thursday night. Graham lost much more and still prevailed.

And yet Graham had Their star back, we're at home and still barely escaped with a win. You do realize in the spring game, Unions QB had maybe a.good week of practice coming off basketball right? Keep beating that chest, let's see how much ND loves the effort given in defense by the star recruit. Union had three chances to ice the game and coaching decided to do something dumb (punt to Bradshaw, not go on fourth and three and not feeding Lomax inside the 15).

FOOLING GRAHAM,we have run the SAME offence ever year, 5 to seven plays thats it .UNION just lines up and comes at you, no fooling anyone , EVEN PALMER SAID THAT.GRAHAM WON.....END OF STORY, move on ,ifs and buts candy and nuts MOVE ON, The score is the only thing that matters "JUST WIN BABY"

I say Graham not have a homecoming dance until after the season is over.

The folks in Wytheville need to decide if they want to dance or play football😂

I think what they are referring to is next week's game with GW is canceled due to GW being in covid protocol.

About the same as Union winning last year’s game against Graham while Graham had multiple players out and coming off a COVID pause.

Almost positive that region D is taking top 4 from each district.

Good catch! Gave TW the win over TV. It's changed.

Well not having that games means Graham would divide by 9 instead of 10, but not having that game also limits their potential to earn points. The system is designed to balance that out to an extent. Grundy picking up Blacksburg and winning was very beneficial. Central picking up Christiansburg and losing probably didn't help them as much, probably would have been better off with 9 games and thus dividing by 9. The way I hear it the deal within Region 2D was basically unless everyone gets 10 games in the region will take top 4 from each district. I've not seen that anywhere official, just the same story that was told by 2 different coaches.

This is the same crew that worked the Graham/Tazewell game. Graham had more penalty yards than Tazewell had in offense. They call a game right down the middle from what I have seen.

You'd think they would play Page, esp. since it is (WAS to be) Homecoming, and FFT to Monroe, right????

In my defense, I clicked submit & couldn’t remember if I included a couple 1A teams that I intended to; I kept rearranging the drop boxes & switching them up. Next time, I’m writing my list on paper first 😂 I definitely didn’t put Union as #1 😂 but a close 2nd 😂.

Come early and enjoy the Burke's Garden Festival. Bad timing for me with the Sat game but as much as I hate to say it at least missing this one isn't as bad as some other teams we play. Understand why it is on Sat but it still sucks having to miss a game.

Didn't we learn anything from the spring season what confusion and chaos that brings???

I agree with you 100 percent and this was exactly what I was trying to get across in my post, but poorly worded

You guys are missing my point. I am writing the following or at least this is what I am meaning...........because Graham was down does not devalue the wins Galax had. My point is... Galax beat Graham straight up and it didn't matter, can't be used as an excuse that Graham was down. I didn't word it well, but I think you Topper a d Hokiebird are agreeing with me.

The little secret here is that Tazewell’s defense is better than you’d think at first glance. They’ve held both Graham and Virginia High in the 30s, and they simply wore down Mount View as the game went along. Riverheads is an entirely different animal, though. I don’t think Riverheads hits the 60s like many around here think. Tazewell’s offensive gameplan is perhaps the lone weakness for Riverheads. They have had a little trouble at defending the pass. I think Tazewell will move the ball a little and put up a few points. But Riverheads is arguably the best team west of U.S. 29 (and yes, that includes Salem). There will be no tougher test.

Blacksburg covid? Or just chicken shit?

Game moved to Tues. 10/19 Rural Retreat going to Parry Mc this Friday.

Two great programs! However, Graham will be to strong for Galax.

Graham will win by 17+
