Seems like Giles has been in rebuilding for a long awhile. Used to reload and every year someone says " We will be better next year we have some athletic players coming up" It seems like this never materializes though. I hope to see Giles back atop the district and make a deep run into the playoffs but idk if that is happening anytime in the near future.
Grayson has really struggled offensively, Galax and Wythe are both very winnable games this year as well as Ft. Chiswell. I wouldn't be shocked if Giles swept the district quite honestly. Tazewell could be a win with a little luck and BlueField is a waste of time even showing up.
Unbelievable lob ball and catch and score by Narrows from 35 yds out! 16 seconds left. Narrows going for the win by going for the 2 point conversion. This two point conversion decides the game.
The two point conversion good
Narrows wins! Heck of a game. 29-28 is your final score.
Hoping they meet in the playoffs that would be a great game. Narrows just seems to have the ball bounce their way that is twice now they have won with no time. Either way neither team goes deep in the post season.
If we get pressure up front on defense, we can win. The best way for us to limit the effectiveness of their receivers is pressure by the DL which we had some success with that last year. We've got to win those 1 on 1 battles on the line. I don't think Narrows OL is as good as last year. It's very close, but I think their OL is slightly a notch down from last year, so that gives me some hope. They will still have some big plays offensively and we must also have enough of our very own big plays offensively.
I think Giles runs the ball fairly well against Narrows. It really does come down to who makes fewer mistakes and the defensive line for Giles getting pressure on the QB.
Giles JV improves to 4-0 on the season after beating the Waves 36-0. They have outscored their opponents 156-34. Starters have not played in the 4th quarter yet this season
Just heard some sad news that the Spartans may be without a key offensive and defensive player(not gonna disclose who it is). If this is the case I may change my prediction to 28-17 in favor of the Waves.
Well that certainly changes things! I say Narrows has a better than 70% chance was saying 50/50. May be the last year Narrows has a good shot for awhile. Giles JV seems to be on point.
The reason I think Narrows wins is the Giles secondary won't be able to cover the receivers. Narrows won't be able to run the ball very well if at all. Now if Giles gets pressure on the QB different story. I believe Giles will run the ball pretty well and the score will be in the 20s. More of shootout. I favor a passing game in a shootout.
I know people may disagree with me and this is fine......Tazewell as far as talent goes is More talented than Radford, Central, Draft, Clarke County, Glenvar and maybe Union. Only Graham and Appo have more talent than any other Class 2 team in VA this year in my opinion (again, havent seen Poqouoson). I know, crazy opinion, many will laugh. I stand and swear by it.
Interested to see the match up against Giles later in the season. I think Giles is a little better than they showed last night. Left some points on the field for sure.
GW must be down or Radford is just really good. Either way I feel Giles beats GW and Radford beats Giles by 14-20 points. Giles has to play Bluefield also and that will not be pretty. Bluefield will most likely win by 30+.
To those familiar with Giles football does Giles have a shifty back in the backfield this year? It seems part of the success in the past other than great assignment blocking is a shifty-athletic back. Which is something that seems has been kind of missing the past 3 or 4 years.
Giles by 10 pts. I think we are better than last year. I also think Blacksburg is better than the past 3-4 yrs. Does that mean Blacksburg is good? Nope, they very bad, but imo, slightly better than the last 3 or so years.
Agree. Blacksburg looks a little better than the previous two seasons. I think they win 1 game for sure maybe 2 or 3 depending. Best shot at a win is Giles and Floyd, Hidden Valley maybe idk. They have athletism guess it comes down to coaching and how they use that.
Blacksburg is not very good. Blacksburg did not look good in scrimmage. Watched Giles against Christiansburg in the benefit game and they looked good not state championship good but better than last year for sure. Of course this is based on Christiansburg supposedly being decent themselves. After seeing both in scrimmage Giles looks to be the better team. I would say 2 touchdowns better imo. The only thing Blacksburg has the advantage with is depth.
Well said. We won’t face a team as large as Cburg this season. We were well undersized but didn’t back down. After a rough season last year it was good to actually see excitement on the field, sidelines, and stands.
That is good to hear. I have them finishing either 2nd or 3rd in district. I think they beat Galax for sure. GW and Grayson they have a shot. GW has some athletes but they are definitely not as good as last year. Grayson looks pretty darn good though. Time will tell.
