Graham wins big in this one. Richlands D is not good enough at this point to stop a running back like Jamorya. I believe graham will have a much improved pass defense and put it on the blues.

Wade will definitely be hard to replace. I don't even think you can to be honest. I think you guys are forgetting about Holmes though. Kid was probably one of the best overall defensive players to come through Richlands, same thing for Wade. I don't see there being a defensive lineman that reaches his caliber for many years at Richlands.

Holmes on the second team?? The three in front of him must've been extremely special athletes. But congrats to all!

True they didn't beat them earlier in the season or it would have been. Season is over, sorry I was just trying to have a nice discussion about it. But you really can't anymore everyone gets salty over everything. My apologies, congratulations to all teams on a great season!

I believe you boys are underestimating the Richlands defense. Even you Richlands guys. I've been to 4 Richlands games this year(I'm not a blues fan just a great team to watch) and that defense will smack you in the mouth. Wade is a monster at linebacker and Holmes might be one of the best defensive lineman I've ever seen and especially to be his size doing work in the trenches. This D held Buckingham a team that averaged about 46-48 points a game to just 14.

You can try to blame it on the penalties all you want. But the real reason you guys got beat is you couldn't stop #14 and #56.

Not a Richlands fan but they have one of the best defenses in the state too. Wade, Holmes, and Addison lead a very physical front seven that has only had two teams rush for more than 50 yards on them.

At this point in the season who has the best defense/defensive players, and why?

We should all just brace the transfers for all teams, because without them there was only 6 points scored total last night!
