This is why this board is so good. Everyone gets to voice an opinon. I like to look at facts so Chilhowie has 20 srs that has started a bunch of games and 3-4 of them have been big games. Riverheads has 17 srs and although they have not played in as many games they are going to their 4th straight state title game. Advantage Riverheads. Chilhowie has a tremendous defense you don't go through a long season and not be great when you give up 91 points. Riverheads gets a lot of comments on their offense but if you ask anyone on that end of the state they talk about their defense. In this area I think teams are even (more) on this in a moment.
Offensivley Chilhowie has been good with a bunch of weapons although on this level I think Cale and Sanchez are the work horses. The other guys are role players at best. The wild card is Branson. That kid is a man he gets a bunch of credit and well deserved for his defensive play but when he gets a few touches he is hard to tackle. He needs to be involved more. Now on the Riverheads offense. It is power run and they are known for it. Chilhowie this year played 9 of 10 teams that were spread type of offense only Patrick Henry ran the ball. The offense at PH is similar to Riverheads but not close in efficincy. PH scored 23 points and had 290 yards on offense on the first team. that to me is a risk factor for the Chilhowie faithful. Slight advantage Riverheads.
Intangibles- Chilhowie is hungry and determined and after last years game not sure Riverheads will have the same fire. Advantage Chilhowie
I think it is a classic hard hitting game and Riverheads scores late to pull away 28-14.
Good luck to the Warriors as SW VA needs a state Title.
Chilhowie is one the better SWVA teams in a long time. They have a great shot of winning it all. But Riverheads won 42-0 and return 17 SRS while Chilhowie returned 15 or so. I think the game will be much more entertaining than last year and Chilhowie has a real shot but I lok for Riverheads to score late and win 28-14
PH is not on the level of CHilhowie that has been proven this season. But PH can show up and just play because no pressure or expectations. Chilhowie with a mistake, turnover or penalty and a long run from Brown it could be interesting to see how CHilhowie reacts. Who knows if PH doesn't throw caution to the wind and tries everything could be fun to watch. Of course it could be like the Grubdy game........
Guys did some checking on this and Glade does not have a local unit as mentioned by Ryan4VT. The EMT from ABingdon was assigned the game but went on another call. They were at JMH wnet the injury happened and reported to the game showing up as the 2nd unit.
Chilhowie has at this point of the season has proved something that could have been a question mark. They are not looking past anyone and it appears as if they are improving each week. This may indeed be one of those special seasons for a SW VA team that goes all of the way.
What was the score? Guys No one from PH comes on here and talks about them being a powerhouse. You guys took pot shots at them and they won big. Maybe they can keep it up just don't compare them to Chilhowie because right now they are a whole other level than the single a teams around here. Chilhowie that is
Galax has proven themselves in C as the team to beat each year. Without a doubt Chilhowie has an incredable team in D. Honestjohn is right the others can hope for runnerup spot.
Looks like most everyone is going on tradition. If you follow closely and with what teams return I think it would be a bit more like this but it is only an opinion.
1. Chilhowie returns everyone
2. Galax- Dixon is there
3. Grundy Fiser is a difference maker
4. JI Burton Good QB and expereinced RB
5. Patrick Henry- enough returners to score some points
6. TW- returns a bunch
7. Narrows is in a good cycle
8. Honaker- should go 5-5
9. Eastside- enough athletes to crack top 10
10. Rural Retreat played a bunch of youngins last year
LOL I don't know In my life which I am sure I am on earth longer than you, his 8 years set race relations back. Our deficit during his time became greater than all other presidents combined. Of course what di he do is the better question?
All Russia was started by the liberal left and they have lied and covered up since. He did not say he trusted the KGB more liberal lies. But with the lies of our US intelligence about collusion LOLwhy would he trust them. How about Obama whispering he will have more power after the election (to the Russian)? OH that's right is t is ok he is a liberal. How about Bill Clinton in the oval office with that young lady, oh wait he is a liberal. How has socialism worked in the world oh wiat we are the greatest country in the world. Communism oh wait that doesn't work so well either. It is ok your ignorce speaks volumes so go collect your check let everyone go to college for free and while I pay my taxes to support all of the free stuff just remember there is no such thing as a free lunch. So eat while the rest of us pays
Grapeape Obama almost ruined the country and in two years Trumps record speaks for itself. BTW Obama knew about Russia meddling and did nothing until Trumps surprise election. And I am sure that Coach AKers would appreciate some humilty from you this season.
