I can see you. You’re the one wearing the poncho

Watch the end of the game against PH last week. I counted 21 players dressed out, and none seemed to present an injury. Yea I’m sure there were a handful of freshmen and sophomores but they definitely had more than 12 total kids dressed when they shook hands at the end 

The games this Friday are huge in terms of who plays who in 1C. Top 3 could go either way and Giles could potentially end up 7th with a win over FC. Everyone gonna be waiting for @Union_Fan to post that matchups 

I haven't seen Bath. I know their schedule is way weak, but I didn't think they would be 9-0. Combined record of the 9 opponents is 18-54 and 8 of the 9 have losing records with exception of P. McCluer.  I have no idea who wins. I'm rooting for Narrows. I want Narrows to win and Grayson to lose. I want it to somehow work out where we play Narrows in the 1st round of the playoffs. Just glancing at Baths schedule, this might be in the top 5 of the weakest overall schedules in the State of VA this year. It's hard to play a worse schedule than this.

Speaking of cancels.....John Marshall, yes, that John Marshall, just canceled on Riverheads for game 10 due to lack of players. Evidently, they only had 3 point guards, 2 shooting guards, 3 power forwards, and 2 centers available to suit up.

I think if you have 12, you play. You also communicate. You call Salem. "Hey coach we only have 12 healthy, can you help us out? We don't want to cancel, but I do ask you to run the ball quite a bit and let's play one half and the first 2 minutes of the 2nd half and keep this conversation between me and you. This way, your kids get their senior night and we show up and dont just cancel, and your kids get at least some first half reps preparing for the playoffs."
I just dont think the above is that difficult to do. It's not hard. Salem coach wants a game and all the stuff for the seniors and parents, and I think 90 percent of coaches would say, "I understand, sounds reasonable." 
My take away point. OTHER people are involved when games are canceled. Other people are effected than simply the team that cancels the game and this is the part that often gets lost in these discussions. We always have the focus on "how does this harm or effect the team that cancels," but not enough emphasis on the team that is getting canceled on. We chalk it up to..."well they are tough (Salem) can handle it." Well, why not let Blacksburg also handle it and be tough.
Just my opinions. If you have 12...You Play. When you get down to 10, you don't play. 

Yes! That would be the 1st tie breaker.
I have Ft Chiswell listed 1st simply due to sorting in alphabetical order.

That was a good one… **claps in realization of the Dawgs being potential frauds** 

Never claimed to be an expert, but the stats do not lie buddy. 

My Spartans only have 1-2 games max left this season as we will likely will not make it to the second round(same for Tazewell). So I’m just going to sit here, talk s**t and enjoy the ride the rest of this season.

It’s honestly sad what is happening over there. To be a 4A school and not even have 30 kids come out is head scratching. Is Eddie Sloss’ short tenure as HC what caused this??

We Giles people know we aren’t good. We also don’t post about how great our offense is when we can’t even score more than 13 total points against teams with a winning record.

Wait what? Members should only comment on their own team?  Why some people want to suck the fun outta everything? The back and forth makes this board fun! Lighten up & have a cold one! 😉

Didn’t Graham turn the ball over twice inside the redzone? So they could’ve actually put up 60 points had it not been for those mistakes. I’m not saying Tazewell has a bad team but they’ve only played 3 teams with a winning record and have been outscored 126-13 against those teams.

Not SWVA related but tomorrow Phoebus takes on Warwick. Both teams are undefeated. Phoebus has only allowed 8 total points this season and Warwick has only allowed 7…. Those are insane stats!

Next season when the Dawgs come to Pearisburg make a trip over to the train horn so that we can formally be introduced to each other. We can even take a picture together and post it on here with your permission?
