Riverheads is essentially a small 2A school, and if they were 2A right now they would be in the conversation each year for the state title. 28-0 is a very impressive win for East Rockingham.

Awesome to finally see a little love for the little guys. Hopefully this will get some more chatter started for Region 1D, there has been some decent football played so far this year.

Jaron Warf - So. linebacker for Thomas Walker had something like 9 tackles, 2 tfl, 1 sack against West Greene, Tn.

1) Chilhowie 2) Galax 3) Grundy 4) George Wythe 5) J.I. Burton 6) Patrick Henry 7) Eastside 8) Thomas Walker 9) Narrows 10) Hurley

Tyree Bolling isn’t at Burton, he transferred to a school in the pigeon forge area from what I have heard.

Someone said it as tan, but the lighting I think made it look this way

Eastside is going to be a lot better than people are giving them credit for. My opinion they will be very well coached from everything I read and hear. They have good athletes, maybe not the total caliber of last year, but still good. Don’t count them out just yet.

TW 31 Heard Burton in Mid 20’s anyone heard anything on Castlewood

TW has 31 on the roster, which is a great number for them. I am hearing Burton is in the mid 20’s Eastside 35-40 range as always Eastside and Burton are both going to be good and well coached, the new coach at Eastside did a great job at Union. They are the biggest school and will always have talented athletes. It will be interesting at the top this year. Still haven’t heard anything about Castlewood

Anyone heard anything about numbers in Cumberland at workouts/ practice?

I am pretty sure it is the longest current drought without a playoff win in Southwest Va. I think there was an article a few years back that talked about Hurley, TW, and Abingdon all being tied and both Hurley and Abingdon have won a playoff game since then.

Might seem like low expectations to some, but from what I have gathered the school only has one playoff win in history. 1996 against maybe Ervinton, so building on last year and getting a win in the playoffs would be great for the school.

Chilhowie is going to be the team with everything to lose, the expectation will be high. I see them 9-1 or 10-0 Burton will have a better team than some think and coach Adams does a great job every year. Tough tough schedule has them around 5-5 or 6-4 again, but playoff ready. Coach Palmer at PH is a great leader and even better person so it doesn’t matter what he has he will get the best out of them I think 7-3 Grundy I think will have a better year than last year. McNutt was a horse but Fiser is a stud. Have a few really good lineman. If they can play with ridgeview that first week they might go 9-1 or 8-2 Hurley will be a lot better than anyone seems to be talking about. Church is a hard worker and the kids apparently love him. Tester did a great job so it will be a pressure packed job right off. I think at worst they are 5-5 but probably 6-4. Eastside will be good this year, still some good athletes. Hicks did a great job and with Rhodes they will have a proven winner to continue. Tough start to the schedule but could be 6-4 or 5-5. Honaker is a big question mark, don’t know much about them. Lost Hartley Hilton who was best player they had. Don’t want to take a chance on predicting what they might be, Hubbard has done well with very little before. Castlewood always plays hard and Taylor has been around a while so don’t count them out. It will be hard to replace Ward, Bellamy, and Cornett. Rye Cove and Twin Springs are both going to be a lot better off in the long run. Warner will do a great job at TS and in a few years they will be good. They will fight hard this year. Osborne will do good at RC, but he will have Jeremy Houseright helping from what I hear, which is a game changer. If nothing else they will be well coached. Numbers so low for both it is hard to overcome sometimes, but I see improvement for both Twin Valley might sneak in with their schedule and win 5 or 6 games and make the playoffs. Ward has experience, so he knows what it takes. Losing Dales will hurt, but the QB is a playmaker and they had a few athletes. Don’t know anything about Holston or Northwood. Don't like to talk about Thomas Walker too much, don’t want to be one of those fans, but expectations are high. A lot coming back and some kids working hard. We will see what happens.

Castlewood lost three studs but are always in games. They play hard and sometimes meaner than other teams.

Everyone talks about the Mountain 7 and SWD, which everyone knows are the best districts in our area, but what are thoughts on the Cumberland, BDD, and Hogo. 4 teams made the playoffs out of the Cumberland last year and seem to have some good groups coming back in 1A. Grundy and Hurley should be good in BDD. Chilhowie and PH should be good in Hogo. Chilhowie is the team to beat, but let’s get some insight on everyone else in Region 1D.

What was the lineman's name?

Heard a rumor that one of Eastside's best returning players, RB/LB #8 Mathew Sexton, had transferred to Ridgeview. Is there anyone who can confirm or deny this? If this is true then it will hurt Eastside tremendously and will be a huge boost for Ridgeview.
