I thought we were talking about Ridgeview? oh well.........................

I don't think people realize the level of play that Riverheads and Galax plays on. That is why Chilhowie deserves a bunch of credit for wins two years in a row. BTW Ridgeview is a very talented SWVA team and last week was taken to the woodshed by single a Pikeville.

Back to the game the kids that were out for Honaker against Burton are they back? They are difference makers if not....or so.

Thank you. But the PV RC game was actually a very good game. If i am not mistaken RC led for a good portion before PV scored two TD in the 4th and won like 32-14.

Obviously none.  Probably a 14 year old kid that should be paying more attention in Geometry and less attention to social media! 
Then again, trolls gonna troll!

At least spell his name right.  He's forgotten more football than most know.

That worked out pretty well for him, building a program.

PH playoff record 5-6 over last  18 years Not sure about the strength of schedule  but the teams that bounced the Rebels looks to be the same teams that bounced everyone else.
2018 2-1 lost to state finalist Chilhowie
2017 1-1 Lost to Burton (respected program)
2016 1-1 Lost to GW (lost is state semi)
2015 0-1 upset first round by Bland
2014 1-1 Lost to Galax ( Best 1 A program west side)
2012 0-1 lost to Honaker

A really nice article today by Nate Hubbard in the Bristol Hearld Courier about Abingdon's Head Coach Garrett Amburgey being the prep coach of the year.

Seems like Graham's staff should have won the award considering they are wearing rings. 

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.
 

Evolve or die. We live in the 21st Century. We have video Hudl on the field and turf fields. They exist today use them. Its Dec. 1 we have had rain and snow and the fields are trashed. Play on the best field PERIOD!! Emory is 15 min from Chilhowie they were the home host going 15 minutes to a field that is in Perfect Shape isnt too much to ask. Evolve, don't talk about 90s football 80s football BS. There weren't turf fields so teams had to play on them. If turf fields had been at Wise, Emory, Salem, Bluefield etc games would have been played on them. But they didn't exist. Evolve or die. 

Any word?

I think it is based off sr night and drawing a gate.

Do you feel schools are more content these days to let a coach stick around as long as they are model citizens and don't rock the administrative boat? Has the priority of football programs declined due to low numbers and other factors? More and more schools are unable to field 8th grade or JV teams.
One trend I have noticed is that football is more openly criticized by parents of other sport's athletes, clubs and bands. All the while football is the athletic department's cash cow. Other sports and music programs would not be able to afford to compete if not for football gate money and concession sales. Most if not all Spring sports case and point. It baffles me that so many schools take no pride in their football programs even if you are a baseball or basketball school. I understand everyone is not going to win it all every year but at least try to get the very best out of what you have to work with and consider it a community effort. I know some may not like it but no other sport compares to the football gate. 

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.

You get to pick 1 QB, 1 WR, 2RB and 1 defensive player to start a team with. But you can only choose coverage area players since 2000. Should be interesting. 

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
