Falcon Mania

More on the home side than the visitors but there is plenty of standing room around the track.  Last year Abingdon vs Richlands packed the place.  If you want to get a seat in the stands you better get there early cause it will fill up fast.  Just my opinion though.

If its such a great concept why is it not a single college or pro team institutes it.  With the logic in that article mid major non-power 5 schools should implement this immediately and win the national championship year in and year out.  Each to his own I guess.  I'll take my chances with field position.

That sucks and can be one of those lingering injuries.  Hope the kid gets back on the field soon.

Giving any team a short field is not a good idea much less Giles.

Abingdon has instituted these for all down lineman during practice.  Not sure if they would wear them in games but they did have them on during their scrimmages at Volunteer last week.  Probably could save a possible concussion since interior line have multiple head contact week in and week out.

Looks like Burton's Perrigan(RB/PR) and Adams(QB)  Abingdon's Yates(WR) are all headed to UVA-Wise.  Looks like UVA-Wise is looking to lock down some of the local talent with Mance also going there.

This.  Ryan they may be the best two QB's in the state this coming year.  Sturgill is getting a lot of attention from pretty big colleges.  Should be fun to watch them finish their respective high school careers.

I figured this forum would a buzz with all the great season some of the local teams have had this past year.  Course then again, I havent heard a word about any players from AHS signing anywhere.  Granted they only graduate 7 this year.

Bring Back The LPD!!!

Congratulations on a great season.  And to all our playoff from SWVA that arent moving on...Cheer for your brethren that are and come back with the same intensity next year and compete to the end.  It was a good season for several of our teams and to all I would say it truly has been a pleasure watching some of the best football this state has to offer right here in SWVA.

The Gmen aren't going to go down as easily as some keep saying.  Their running back is a straight up STUD.  He is the real deal and if anyone says different they don't know football.  They also have speed on the outside and some good size on both interior lines.  My advice for Union is do not take Graham lightly.  They have improved week in and week out all season long.  Don't let Richlands and Abingdon putting big numbers up against them fool you.  They are a solid team.  Someone already stated that they were a dark horse to make some noise in the playoffs.  Should be a good game between the Bears and G-men.  Union may finally get teasted in the playoffs.

Good Luck to all our SWVA football teams this week.  Lets go out and show the rest of the state that state championships run through SWVA.  Go Get Em Boys!!!

Im pretty sure those are the very "keys to win" in every game Ive seen or been involved with.  The one thing you may have left out was "Win one for the Gipper".  Just kidding.  I really do want to see a great game, played by some outstanding athletes.  Lets hope that nobody is injured and both teams make a deep playoff run.

I believe he was at like 1366 yds not counting the 440 yds he put up this past Friday in the first half against VHS and possibly 18-20 TD's.  he has to be over 500 yds rushing, (might be less) with 5-6 rushing TD's.  We will have a more accurate count when the paper comes out Friday.  I know he and Ashbury are neck and neck in the stats.
