I’m gonna go Trump on ya. WRONG!! I played in both and always hated the Friday games. I’ve watched both as a fan and a father and always hated Friday playoffs. I’m sure there are plenty that agree with you but I just don’t see it.
I hope the game is on Friday. Saturday games are good but you cant get the feel of a stadiums atmosphere unless you play on Friday night. This will be my first trip to Ridgeview. Hopefully this will be the first game in a new R vs R rivalry.
I disagree. There IS NO atmosphere like Saturday football.
I can very well see Ridgeview being upset here, but it has nothing to do with our out of conference schedule. The play calling is ridiculous at times. They almost refuse to pass or run Sexton most games and usually it’s Adkins up the gut 40 times a game no matter what. However Sexton did get some touches this week. If we mix up our offense we win. If not this game is very winnable for Richlands. Don’t get me wrong I like Adkins but when people can’t just key on him it will just make him and the team better. Go Pack.
I just watched it. It kinda looks like the Honaker player started throwing after flying up on a run and then got turned inside and started windmilling. Even that is iffy because the play goes on by as does the camera. It was raining so I doubt anybody had their camera out.
Not to jump on Sproles, who I love as a player and seems to be a good kid, but this kind of stuff has gotten out of hand at Ridgeview. Every week we get multiple penalties for players trash talking and several punches have been thrown. Why would you punch somebody wearing a helmet? I’m disappointed that Rick Mullins hasn’t gotten this under control, and surprised we haven’t had an ejection before this.
This entire thread has me belly laughing. So when AHS loses to a 2A team they are wine and cheesers....but when they beat 2A teams they are too big and tough? LMAO.
Just for the record RV’s loss to Abingdon was a glaring example of what I think the Packs two biggest weaknesses are. 1st play calling is usually awful and was that night too. 2nd the weight program is laughable, although it was better this year. This game was won and lost in the weight room long before the teams ever took the field. Big and tough is usually earned, so good for them. They earned. I hope the kids enjoy it, and that’s not sarcasm.
I understand the O.P.’s point and I don’t buy that Abingdon has a 500 person special ed program. (I know that’s not exactly what has been said, but you get my point I’m sure.) However they handed RV their tail physically on a level that was almost embarrassing. They served up more pancakes than the Huddle House beside the marijuana dispensary. One pack player got drove back 14 yards and then got ‘caked. Another got pancaked so hard he’s out for the season. Not a big hit just a ground into the dirt pancake block. Hard to argue with that kind of whipping.
Wish I could go to this game. Alas, my son is a senior at Ridgeview, so I’m stuck at Pike Central Friday. Abingdon’s OL is big and NASTY!!!! Fun to watch for an old big ugly. They dominated us up front. Dominated doesn’t even really do it justice. Gonna DVR Abingdon / Union I guess.
Coaches were NOT prepared for Abingdon. In fact defense hasnt been same since Union game. Trying to get Adkins the ball last 2 games when teams were keying on him. Last week when they FINALLY got Sexton ball he had well ober 100 yds on 11 carries and didnt touch ball until 2nd half.
I have tried so very hard not to say this, but here goes. (Censored version) The RV staff has serious issues with play calling. I have deleted about 99% of this post, but could preach on this for days.
I know the media is in love with Ridgeview’s Adkins, but their offense is by far better when they are more balanced. Last week the passing game was off. QB didn’t have a good night and receivers dropped a few passes. They looked a little out of sorts defensively also. For the Pack a lot of this depends on which team shows up. If they play like last week then I think Abingdon embarrasses them.
Chocolate, but I won't hold you to it. I still haven't crawled the length of the field at Haysi because Andy Kelly threw a late game int against Notre Dame in Neyland one year. #Nevermakecrazystatements.
Wise coaches jeering Clintwood coaches and Clintwood players saying they were even smack talking them. Doesn’t make anything ok but it’s just as disgusting as the fight itself. I would be ashamed to be affiliated with either program, but especially wise. They have a long history of this kind of garbage. Just for the record I’m not involved in this in any way nor am I from Clintwood or Walmart. My kids are grown and I never played wise in L. L. No sour grapes, it’s just what you hear all the time with them.
Most places have ems there, I know my alma mater did. However, there is a big drain on most rural ems limited manpower, and they can’t always be there or get there. I would think if it took an ambulance crew 45 mins to get there then there probably wouldn’t have been a crew available for the game. Just my guess.
I don’t think either team played their best, but that happens when two heavyweights slug it out sometimes. I didn’t think Ridgeview could do it. Wish Union well the rest of the season.
I listened on my way to Grundy last week. It’s all football which I appreciate. Had a hard time hearing the coaches though. Sounded like they were all a little too far away from a mic.
I guess this was remembered by a Haysi fan. PV physically beat Haysi up and down between the 20's. PV fumbled a kickoff on the 5 yard line to allow their first score, and of course no one will ever forget Hackney running down the sideline for that kick. The last play wasn't a shoe string tackle, as the QB decided to run with the football when there was 3 wide - open receivers in the end-zone, when the QB took off. He ran out of bounds at the 25-yard line. It was a very physical, sloppy played game in mud that stuck to you!
Haysi got the snot kicked out of them that day and won with a miracle play. That play was awesome, but Haysi fans know one more thing that makes this a miracle, is that Blaine Hackney was not a speedster. He wasn't slow, but he wasn't a burner either. If you told me that our only hope was Hackney out sprinting the whole town of Big Stone for 99 yards I would have bet my last dime on PV. That's why you play the games though.
I heard one guy tell an official that they were the worst crew he had ever seen. Official says F you. This was right in front of me as I walked onto the field to hug my son. I just said don’t listen to him you’re not THE worst crew as I walked by him. I couldn’t help myself after hearing him drop an F bomb in front of a bunch of kids. The sheriffs office was trying to clear a path but cussing people is probably not the best path to safety when you have just become public enemy number one and said public surrounds you on all sides. In hindsight a bigger police presence would’ve been better but I’m not sure anybody expected it to get this bad. I’ve only seen it so bad one other time in my life.
