Falcon Mania

Football season is over. It'll be quiet in this forum till after the 4th of July. Then things will pick back up. Hope this helps you understand crickets

Blacksburg lost 26-23 in OT

From what I can gather the Lord Botetourt - Abingdon game will be live streamed here: https://bit.ly/2OnVo3N or check You Tube here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsVdzM_Z_u0

Cause M7 teams have the better concession stands. Only joking. I'm not sure why we were put in the M7 other than that is the way it shook out in the previous redistricting through VHSL.

Thats a lot of game movement because of the weather. Seems like there will be quite a bit of neutral site games.

There is no doubt the Falcons will be considered underdogs this week. Just like every week before and yet they seem to come ready to play. Lord Botetourt will be a tough task for any team. I'm still going with the home town boys.

Round 2 and back to the scene of the crime so to speak. Falcons been rolling with the run game and ferocious defense. Botty been dominating teams with a power run game. I know nobody will give the Falcons a chance and for sure they will be underdogs. But haven't the been that all season. Who you got? I will take the Falcons in a close one.

Yeah their field is natural grass. I said the same thing. Maybe it'll rain next week. LOL

Yeah. Back to the scene of the crime so to speak. Jamie Harless was at game tonight scouting. They said Abingdon/Botty going to play next Saturday. Time TBD.

Abingdon 256 yds total offense Hidden Valley 19 yds total offense Final. Falcons 20. HV 0

Haters gonna hate

You are certainly entitled to your opinion and I totally respect it. But the facts are not what you may think they are. The kids you are speaking of learned toughness from many other things. Reed didn't show up one day and Jake Sturgill was a 2 time all state QB. Matthew Fulton wasn't beast of a running back. Derrick Yates didn't just become a college prospect because he showed up and the list could go on. The current list of players who are seniors and started out in Reed's system didn't become tough and hard nosed because of his system. That trait came from playing together since they were 6 years old in flag football. That trait came from them becoming a band of brothers all the way through their youth league days, middle school, and JV. There were many other factors involved than saying "he toughened them up". Consider this: 2014 8-2 Colobro/ Amburgey on staff the year Reed is named head coach 2015 9-1 Colobro/ Amburgey on staff 2016 9-1 Colobro/ Amburgey on staff 2017 6-4 Colobro/ Amburgey NOT on staff 2018 8-2 Amburgey named head coach On a footnote: "Give them a couple years...they be back to being soft again" This sounds like wishful thinking.

Condolences and prayers for his family and the entire Richlands community. Sad to hear someone so young has past with the future and life ahead of them.

That is laughable. Sorry but there isn't a snowballs chance that Abingdon finishes this season 8-2 this year doing the same thing we did last season. Let alone winning games against Union and Ridgeview and being the 3 seed to host a playoff game. And before you say something to the effect I don't know.. My son is a senior and I've been around the program long enough to know.

Well that's one way to join the conversation. Welcome to the board and your first post.

I have to agree yet again. Can this thread just die!

They would travel to LB in the second round

Hidden Valley has to make the trip back down the interstate to open the playoffs with Abingdon, who they beat earlier in the year. Abingdon has reeled off 5 in a row and is playing their best football right now. Discuss.

The Warriors(Central) reeled off enough wins at the end of the regular season to get in and kudos to them. But the train stops here. The Warriors(Chilhowie) win this one going away.

1. Pulaski 2. Bluefield 3. Graham 4. Abingdon 5. Chilhowie 6. Ridgeview 7. Galax 8. Radford 9. Union 10. JI Burton

You, my friend are all heart.

THIS

I would fully expect Abingdon to beat Hidden Valley. The loss earlier in the season to them kind of was a wake up call and the Falcons have responded in the manner one would expect. Hidden Valley probably can't beat the likes of Ridgeview or Union. They would certainly struggle with Virginia High and Richlands. But who knows, That's why they play the game. I've said in recent weeks Abingdon is peaking at the right time. Going into the playoffs and playing your best ball makes a team very dangerous. Especially when people might be overlooking you cause your not in the Roanoke Valley.

You know who's name should be out there. Garrett Amburgey. granted he isn't a 1A or 2A coach but the only 3A team in the coverage area usually gets overlooked. Amburgey has only lead a team to much success this season that a lot of people considered out and in a rebuilding year with the coach getting the job 2 days before two a days. Regardless of what people think, Amburgey has lifted Abingdon to new heights and energized the fan-base.

The sheer arrogance of this post ventures on the absurd. You saying that GC should never lose to one of those teams? Really? So those teams aren't allowed to get better just because they have to lose to GC year in and year out. Yes I agree with this. I will need to see a copy of the handbook where it states that.
