Battle is the worst team in 2D by at least two scores; let's not get silly here.

Tazewell defeats Marion in the Dragon Bowl, but is forced to retain the trophy for another year. I call that a draw.

I suffered through 14 years of Steve Wright and Mike Briscoe's play calling, so I never believed I would say this, but...
I wish Marion would just run it up the dang middle 🤣

None taken. Chilhowie has consistently proven to me their ability to adjust in game and keep their players motivated. I have never seen a team be dead to rights at halftime and come back to win the game in the second half as often as Chilhowie has in the last few years. If you look at the sheer number of assistants Chilhowie has, and the amount of high level success that those assistants have had in other sports, I believe they have the deepest coaching staff in 1A, including Riverheads. If we're comparing Robinson to Casto (or several other 1A head ball coaches, for that matter) he can't hold a candle, but I believe his shortcomings are made up for by having the best assistant staff that I'm aware of.

Jeez, that's rough. I'd hate to be Tazewell's next opponent.
Oh wait...

Watch out for Marion, they have a lot of momentum. Scored 14 unanswered against Richlands.

I'm a fan of Graham's originality. There aren't many schools around here that have an original logo, let alone an original name. While "Scarlet Hurricanes" isn't as cool or creative as "G-Men," I'd like to point out that Marion took that name from a local landmark back in the 20s before there were any nationally relevant teams named the "Hurricanes," which is pretty cool considering what a generic name it seems like now.
As far as unis go, I usually like Abingdon's Oregon imitations. In particular, the uni coupled with the mirror "wings" on the helmet a couple of years back was a slick look.
I like any helmet that has an original logo on it. My favorite was probably PH's helmet from a few years ago that had a silhouette of Patrick Henry inside the "PH."

I only consider schools north of Marion, south of Marion, east of Marion, and west of Marion.
Basically, if you're not Marion, it's anybody race. That includes Atkins and Sugar Grove. This is the Maple Leafs year!

Before any talk of consolidation, the Scott Co School Board has to consider the significant investment they've made at Titan Stadium.

I only consider teams in the Smyth Co News & Messenger coverage area and Mater Dei.

Scared

Marion is playing Grayson at Marion's Homecoming. Stephen James, Marshall Doss, and Tim Smith are all coaching in the game and Steve Wright is on the Marion sideline with Fellowship of Christian Athletes duties.
All of whom are participating in an impromptu 20 year reunion of Marion's 2001 State Tournament team (Wright and James were coaches, Smith and Doss were players).

I challenge everyone with NFHS to go watch the last two minutes of regulation in the first half. I have never seen anything this comical.

Wonder how many penalties there were in the first half? Seems there was one thrown every play. 

Grayson QB cant handle snap in end zone, safety for Marion. This has been a beautifully disgusting masterpiece thus far.
Marion 2, Grayson 0, 2:09 left in 1st half
