I'm not trying to be offensive here, but I'm really struggling and having a tough time reconciling how one has the last name of "Scuttlebutt." It reminds me of guy I once knew in Texas with the last name of Shittselstein.

Final. North Carolina 2A semi's. Reidsville 49, Shelby 14. Shelby was a 1pt favorite going into this game by Calpreps. Reidsville will take on historical eastern power in the 2A title game next week in the Darkhorses of Clinton High. I've always loved that nickname. Clinton High is the former school of Terry Holland and Willie Parker (former Pittsburgh Steeler). Reidsville is where former Graham Head Coach and longtime Carlock assistant Doug Marrs coaches as the Defensive Coordinator. I think Marrs is still there and hasn't retired yet. He went to Reidsville after leaving Graham.

Final. 5A South Carolina. Dutch Fork adds another to the trophy case beating White Knoll 21-6. For those not familiar with Dutch Fork, they've became somewhat of a national powerhouse. The title tonight gave them their 8th state title in the last decade, playing in SCs highest 5A classification.

I lived in Tidewater that year and got to see Hampton of 96. I've never seen anything like it since. It was such a huge deal even at that time, that you knew the moment was big. It's one of those rare moments in history when you know that at that moment (no hindsight seeded) that you are living a historical moment that will be talked about for at least 50 years. I soaked it up in Darling Stadium. I just couldn't believe the amount of talent on the field with 1 team. They were like aliens to my young (1996) self. Just unbelievable.

Can u tell m how many titles Pikeville has? I know its a lot. I've always wondered

Tonight (Friday) I will post some scores that might have some meaning to a few on here. Please disregard/don't read this post/thread if the following scores/teams below offer no interest West VA Double A State Title Tonight, North Marion vs Fairmont Sr. North Carolina Class 2A Semifinals Tonight, Shelby vs Reidsville (the two winningest schools in NC history) North Carolina Class 1A Semifinals Tonight, Mt.Airy vs Robbinsville South Carolina AAAAA State Title Game Tonight Dutch Fork vs White Knoll Kentucky 1A State Title Game, Pikeville vs Raceland

I don't think the Graham radio announcers are bad at all. They aren't seasoned professional broadcasters, but for a local High School Crew with limited resources, they do ok. One of those guys on there I know fairly well and he played on the Graham of 1989 Team and that great defense of theirs. He was a heck of a player and he's an even better person imo. It's been a a long time since I spoke to him. Class act guy.

Heck of a player

What year is the Defensive POY Keith?

Brannon Breeding 92.....or later years....Shane Wicks. 1 of those 2 is my guess.

Arkansas has rehired Boby Petrino, not as HC, but as OC. Only rule is....he's not allowed motorcycles this time. Richlands could replicate and simply put in a "no control over equipment" clause with Vaught.

Class Act and Darn Good Coach and Darn Good Person who put the work in for decades to his community. Special place upstairs in the future for him.

Game of the year. Princeton vs Bridgeport. I like offense. Worst game of the year. Princeton vs Bridgeport. I like defense also. Nickname of the year-Giles County High Grinches Best unis- Patrick Henry GS Best stadium- Riggs Stadium, Appalachia, VA Best Home Field Advantage- Radford and Galax, because visitors have nowhere to set Can't catch a break- Richlands and anyteam in a close game with Narrows Best Helmet- Fort Chiswell POY on SWVA. Radfords L.Clark has to be the guy. Clements was injured some which hurt his numbers and Union's Chandler is just a sophomore. Clark has put up video game stats and defensively, he's a first team All stater. Most underrated player. The offensive lineman from Patrick Henry. When all is said and done, he will play college ball at a higher level than Chandler, Clark, Clements and the rest. He's that good offensively on the line. Major FBS P5 player.

I thought Ryan was referring to Hungry Mother towards Marion or Breaks Interstate Park going towards Kentucky. Don't know if those are an hour from Richlands but sounds about right. Never heard of Lake Witten

Bring back Vaught? Are you sure?

Calpreps is sneaky. If you go to the projector and select 2 teams, the default for the pick is a neutral field. But, when you go to their Projections (projections for the weeks upcoming comes which account for home and away team) they then account for exactly that, where the game is played and in a very tight pick, the pick can be different like Galax and Honaker swapping that 1 point for a neutral field compared to a home game for Honaker. Interestingly, they project Graham and Radford as a 31-28 win for Radford for the neutral site (head to head matchup) and for the Projections menu which accounts for where the game is played/home team-no difference in outcome, still a 31-28 win for Radford. Sounds like Galax and Honaker are tight. A while ago, they had Galax behind Honaker by 3 points on a Neutral Field. Galax closed the gap on them and basically has had a 4 point swing over the past week or two. Graham did the same thing with Radford. It was 7 points a week or two ago from going by memory only.

Bingo man. Shoot, I would like to get a new job and become the CEO of an already established Fortune 500 company (not really, but just for clarifying the point) and it would be great. Odds are for most HS coaches in the United States, that isn't going to happen regarding taking over a well-oiled machine and a program currently on or near the top. Those jobs generally are not open because......they are at the top. Union, Graham, Appomattox, Central Woodstock, Riverheads? No openings for a HC for a reason (although Union can surely find someone an assistant spot). If you have a coach interviewing for a job and he makes the statement or eludes to the point that "I'm not really sure about doing a rebuilding job," then this ain't the guy. By the way, I'm certainly not saying this is the case with Davis or that Davis has this opinion. I would bet he certainly doesn't, but that applies to about any coach being interviewed.

Question for Bears fans. Who will be the QB for the Bears next year? Union was young on the line of scrimmage just like Graham was and being that young, the line of scrimmage certainly isn't going to be a problem the next two years. It's typical Union. Who does the Bears have at QB. Just my opinion here and I could be wrong. I think Graham will beat Radford and then go on to win the state title over the winner from the East. Union was inches away....inches away this year. I still believe the 2 best teams in Class 2 Virginia played Saturday. Could be wrong though (as I often am).

Can't have a Superstar hurt in Class 1 or Class 2 and recovery in most situations. Take away CCC and Riverheads is still awesome, but not quite the same. Take away Clark at Radford and Radford is still awesome, but not quite the same. Same for Clements and Graham. Anderson is a stud. Take him away at Union and Union is still awesome, but not quite the same. Go back in history and same thing. What if King William doesn't have the monster Claiborne against Graham, or Cam Allen doesn't play in 2018, Mitchell his senior year at Union out, Scruggs at Appo if he were hurt. It just completely changes the nature and effectiveness of the team, especially at the Class 1 and 2 levels.

This game from my understanding is at Noon, 2 hours before the Virginia games, so a good portion is watchable for those planning to watch Honaker-Galax and/or Radford-Graham which are 2 pm starts.

Graham against Radford needs to be power run heavy Clements Graham like the one at Union. Against Riverheads, Graham needs to be in wide open sets and if you want Clements to run, then run him a lot but from wide formations. Graham needs to get the football in the air a whole lot if it's Riverheads. Force them to cover in the secondary and split them out.

If VHSL calls the shots and Riverheads 100 percent truly believed that, then there would be no need to appeal to play in Class 1. You would have let the chips fall where they may without an appeal.

Should be a good game. I remember in 2018 the GMen were supposed to have a really close contest at Radford only to explode on offense and defense. I would be surprised if Graham won by 21 and same thing for Radford, but I was surprised in 2018. It's easy looking back in hindsight at 2018, but going into that game, that was supposed to be a coin flip kind of game.

Galax is a winner. It's tough to beat winners in close games. It can be done and Galax can be beat close, but they just rise to the occasion year after year in the west. On years they lose, it's a dang battle for any team in the west to get this bunch out of the playoffs. Honaker is good and can do it, but won't come easy. Key to this game imo, Honaker needs to come out red hot an efficient offensively and make the maroon tide play from behind get a 13 point lead. If Galax is right with Honaker in the mid 3rd quarter, bad sign for Honaker.
