Don't see Turner running up the score even if it is Wise. He'll get up around 40 and call off the dogs.
And like others mentioned, WCYB could have definitely picked a better game for this week, but the players involved will always have it to remind them of their glory days.
I have a feeling the staff is going to be extra "friendly" this week because they know what's coming.
Lord can you imagine if they upset us we'll never hear the end of it
I thought RV played a great game considering how undermanned we were. This team will grow but I see a second round exit from the p,ayoffs this year. Which is very good considering what was lost to graduation last year.
Our fans are great, but some of you need to calm the _ _ _ _ down. Union was not holding on every play and jumping offsides every play. The better team won tonight. And don’t yell at the other side when a kid is hurt, when you’ve been trash talking a player the entire game from the stands because you’re 40 and sound like a jack a$$.
O’Quinn played a good game but the interception in the 1st qtr was a bad decision. I’m wondering if he may be on the field too much. Qb is his top responsibility. (Except according to a few fans who wanted him benched tonight). I’m still waiting for their explanation on that one.
Ridgeview has a very good team we just didn't know how good because of their opponents but they proved it to me tonight. I do believe without all the penalties Union is a couple TDs better but wouldn't be surprised at all if Ridgeview beats them if they play again and I kinda hope not because I can see the fans ruining it for the kids with a bench clearing brawl or something. And anyone wanting O'Quinn benched clearly is delusional the kid had pressure on him most of the night

Too many good ones to just pick one but I'll go with Tom Turner and no other reason than winning 6 titles with that small of a school and in many years could've won at what is now 2a
I love and respect each and every one of you to be honest. I’ve tried and tried to get mine to go else where because of the reasons stated in this thread but he wanted to remain with his friends.
Hate that the actions of a few make everyone look like asshats, not all of us are tards, just there supporting our kids like you all are.
Don't blame him for wanting to be with his friends and they're not the problem at Central anyways
Don't know a thing about Clarke Co. this season but from the posts I've read they play a weak schedule so might get whooped. Of course I thought the same thing when Union played them a few years back
I guess what I am trying to say is, I don't hear anyone one saying a thing about next year or the next year or the year after except everyone that is not from Central and they keep posting it on here.
I've never heard next year but have heard from a few just wait till our JV gets up there. Actually bought in to the hype with the class that graduated a few years ago.
The young guys on the RED TEAM are growing up fast ! With CCC out it forced them to carry the load and now it the rewards are coming . IF THEY STAY HEALTHY ? , look for them in Salem . Impressive job by the coaches and players ! Look out SWVA there is a new kid on Block 2A CHAMP STREET .
Lot of good teams in 2A this season. If they win it this season they've earned it.
I’d say in 2D, the top 8 is pretty accurate. May see VHS go on a run and replace one of the teams 6-8. That’s the only changes I can see.
RV and Union are probably playing for the 1 seed. The loser is probably number 2 if they can beat Abingdon.
I was thinking same thing about VHS knocking someone out probably Lee Marion or Lebanon
RV schedule is weak. VHS was a nice addition, but keeping Norton on the schedule is a head scratcher. They could have kept Bluefield which would have been a great late season test going into the playoffs.
As for the game, Union seems to have the advantage, but having the best player at the most important position on the field give RV a good 33% chance to win. If this game were on the ridge I’d be closer to 50%.
I believe this game becomes the best rivalry in SWVA over the next decade (if it isn’t already).
Sometimes it's just hard to schedule not knowing what a team will have in the future and not blaming Ridgeview. I'd think Burton and VA. High would've been better for points but have struggled a bit. But couldn't help reply to the quote about Graham and Science Hill. Who we supposed two play IMG Academy???
Agreed. Those who do not watch RV regularly do not really know what’s they have. There are elements that if they get going, they are going hard and strong. I understand the chatter that RV has not played anyone, but let’s face it, Graham is down big this year, VHS gave them a game as well, GC is not who people thought they would be, Lee is down, SH came over to Union with a lackadaisical attitude, it’s just not a strong competition field this year period. I believe the camel that breaks RV if Union wins, is Bullet Park and that phobia RV has about playing there just like playing In Bluefield. RV just does not play the road well anytime, especially those two places.
Ridgeview might beat Union but let's not compare their schedule. Ridgeviews opponents have won what 4 games and didn't you guys struggle vs Richlands?
VERY limited seating, but normally, Cumberland teams probably never fill them up.
They do have a good hillside to stand on.
Parking on the other hand could be bad. Hopefully, they'll let people park in their grass fields.
Been years since I've been there r u able to see from the fence (if they have one) or best to watch from hill since I'm sure bleachers will be full by 5:30
Based solely on what people have said about Union's special teams play, I'll go with no. Even the team with a senior James Mitchell was undone by special teams play against Appomattox as it cost them 17 points in a 3 (IIRC) point loss.
I would get a kid from the soccer team atp. Tell him all he has to do is show up for 1 practice a week and work on extra points and FGs and don't have to run or hit anyone. Just kick the ball!!!!
I worry about teams that are stout at the LOS and can get athletes in space, SH really was able to wear Union down and then gash them. I don’t know if any 2D team has that kind of depth but Union is far from unbeatable. I’d like to see the passing game develop a bit more, Union has an absolutely loaded WR group. The run game gets the press and rightfully so (no one enjoys tackling Keith Chandler I promise) but if Union has punish loaded boxes by attacking middle of the field with Huff, Bostic, Bunch and Anderson (brother), it’ll be a tough night for a defense.
That is the one thing I’ve not seen Union develop much, passing in the middle of the field. With so much Skill talent, if they can consistently hit slants and in routes to go with the deep balls, no reason they shouldn’t score 40 points per game.
Probably should add Creasy from Tazewell to that list.
Can't believe I'm saying this after last season but Anderson from Union is up there too. Even though he wasn't used as much vs Graham in the passing game
