    SWD Predictions

    Graham is the clear favorite and its not close regardless of their skill positions they have the best line on both sides of the ball in the district. 2-5 could go anywhere though each team in that group has their pros and cons Tazewell- probably has the most coming back with Harris and Creasy but until I see consistent line play out of them and some sort of run game I will still question their ability to win the big game. Very talented and high numbers compared to recent years. If anyone can knock off Graham its them IMO but they have to play a perfect game. You also have to wonder how they handle the success from the last few years. Do they have a taste of winning and they know what it takes and keep it going or do they get complacent. Richlands- They are a polar opposite of Tazewell. Traditional great line play but they lack a truly explosive play maker. Webb and Simmons are gone and they are going to rely heavily on Brown and the run game. If that gets going It may be the first winning season since Mance. If not it could be another long year for big blue nation. VA high- Can they replace the production of Stevie. For the past 4 years their offense has been put the ball in Stevie's very capable hands and get the hell out of the way and that has worked out for them. Now all the pressure falls on Brody Jones and Poku. Brody is a man child and Poku can fly can make plays to keep them in a lot of games. Defense was a weak spot for them last year if they are more sound on that side of the ball and find a run game so they can air it out they might be in good shape. "Candy Canes"- Last few years have been a struggle but one thing that Marion has going for them that is an advantage is they did not lose a single play maker from last year. These guys also have another year to grow under their belt. New coach, new system, and maybe a new mind set. If they can build some momentum early in the season they could be dangerous. If they sweep Chilhowie, Northwood and Grayson and slipt or play Central and GC close they could be 4-1 3-2 going into the Abingdon game full of confidence and starting to gel they could surprise one of the teams above them. Or they could crash and burn who knows but this district has to potential to be very interesting the last 4 weeks with the 2-5 teams fighting for seeding or a playoff birth.

    You are right, but just like every other tread we ended up going down a completely different rabbit hole

  3. I mean… that’s an opinion. Lol. Dude, it’s facts. It’s also not meant to insult these kids. The talent isn’t deep enough, Aaron Lowe is well aware of that fact. If you’ve followed the girls basketball program at all, you’d know the only reason he had these girls playing so much summer league is because he was axed from football and had time on his hands. You’d also know winning games in a summer league isn’t exactly a roadmap to state for your upcoming season. A real man would check his ego and encourage the girls to keep playing basketball for their high school. Period. Encouraging kids to sit out a season is selfish on his part and no one wins. He ain’t getting his job back and the girls will miss an entire year of their high school career.

  15. Well, on the topic. I’m a Tazewell fan. So as of any Tazewell fan, I’m looking forward to the Backyard Brawl! I asked off for the Friday of this game. Though I’ll miss every other game due to work. Best believe I’ll have Chase and jimmy blaring on my radio! Go dawgs!!

  16. I agree. They look to have good size and strength. They have a few speedster too. They could make another run at it, if they play their carda right

    5 paid spots for both jv and varsity it’s tough football takes a lot of time if you coach you don’t do it for the pay but it’s hard to ask someone to put in that time for nothing or even half a stipend

  20. If they all sit out it’s a 100% accurate statement, lol. Seriously, I hope Coach Lowe encourages them to take the high road and to play, play hard, & show why people like you think they can be contenders in girls’ basketball.

  22. Stopped by this morning while I was in town to watch a bit of Graham's practice. Some of those boys must have hit the weight room hard & heavy after the season last year. I'm not an expert by any means just an armchair fan but I believe their line play is going to be very strong. I think QB is the biggest question mark but I see Meadows coming into his own after getting some games under his belt. He's got lots of players to compliment him. I'll be interested to see how they do in those early games this season, arguably their toughest opponents in regular season will be in those early weeks in my opinion. The past few years, Graham's defense especially seems to really kick it into high gear the further the season progresses. If the defense has a good showing in those first few games, they are going to be super tough this year. IMHO!

  23. All this aggression… I’m just sitting here smoking a cigar hoping that one day Giles has the numbers to move back up to Class 2 and be competitive enough to make Appo come to Pearisburg so they can hear my train horn for 2.5 straight hours… #ForeverSaltyAtAppo

    The freshman is Tommy Jones. He is a special “once a generation” athlete. He’s not quite ready to be the starter yet. Senior Mason Cox will start but I’m sure Jones will see some action.

  27. Unfortunately covid caused a lot of things to go to hell in a handcart. WV went ahead and played fall season. VA did a weird spring season. ADs had their hands full trying to piece things back together after that disaster of a year.
