I could see them finishing 2nd in the RRD. The only regular season teams I could them losing to is Giles and Salem. Tonight against Giles could be a toss up, but Salem will just be too much to handle. Blacksburg could make a good run in 3A with that new coach. He seems to have brought the spark back that they've needed

Thanks for the info

Backups played on defense with 6 to go. It was still a scrimmage. Trying out new stuff and not showing some things,
 
Having said that Bluefield's attendance at games other than Graham and Princeton has been very poor.

I can't speak for Bluefield but I can for Graham. I think we have a decent fan base for the size of our school and our town but if Graham isn't winning, our fans aren't coming unless it's against Bluefield, Tazewell, or Richlands. And if we are playing on a Saturday you can forget about it because our fans are either in Morgantown or Blacksburg.  It was that way when I was in school but then again we weren't winning much either. 

I see this game being a high scoring shootout. Bluefields defense needs a lot of work and Graham has a decent defense but Bluefield has a lot of offensive weapons. Should be a good one.

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.

Lol at holding Giles to 14

I think that's what he's getting at. He also specifically said that if his team is losing he will not punt period.

Giles 28 Bluefield 17 in the 4th

Giles up 21-3 on the Beavers

Giles up 21-3 on the Beavers

Giles torches Bluefield through the air and on the ground. 7-0 Spartans

Radford has Blacksburg and Giles has Bluefield. Those are the ones that I know of

Pulaski always starts out tough. Giles has put it to them the last 3 years in the benefit game but Pulaski kept fighting despite being down 3 or so tds. I look for them to have another good regular season.

Woooo!

Appomattox was the best of course...and the 2nd I'd go with Richlands...they progressed over the course of the season..with union being very close behind.

I will agree with you to an extent that yes, had Richlands beat Union we would not be having this discussion and yes what I said was an opinionated statement. But when I choose who the top 2 teams are I don't look at stats, I don't look at record, I look at the talent that is on the field. Pure talent. Yes, Clarke took out everyone in their path to make it to state, congrats to them. Look at it like this though. They would've been seeded 8th on the west side and would've been a 2nd round game for Appomattox. IMO the top 2 teams did not play in Salem on December 12th.

In the words of the great philosopher known as Nelly:
 
I-Am-number one
No matter if you like it
Ready take this sit down and write it
I-Am-number one
Hey hey hey hey hey hey
Now let me ask you man...
What does it take to be number one?
Two is not a winner
And 3 nobody remembers (hey)
What does it take to be number one?
Hey hey hey hey

Time to give my input. I'm going to bet anyone on this board that Ive been to more high school football games this season than anyone here. I managed to watch 21 football games this season. Some days I got to watch 2 games in 1 day. I love it. Ive seen Appomattox play a few times, Ive seen Richlands play a few times. IMO them 2 are the best 2 teams in 2A. I watched Clarke Co. at the state game and Union must have a pretty bad run defense because Clarke is not that good offensively. Everything they done looked like they was going in slow motion and they had no speed at all. Then again I'm also comparing it to the single-wing Giles runs and its like night and day. Clarke could not have beat, Richlands, Buckingham, Glenvar, or Giles. Ive seen all 4 defenses. Richlands has the best offense of any team in 2A and Appomattox has the best defense. Union beat Richlands in like what, week 3 or 4? Richlands had 4 or more turnovers and still almost beat them. Ive seen a lot of 2A high school football, The State Championship was played in Appomattox on November 28th. I'm not a Richlands, Appomattox, or Union fan. I just know football. You all can stay in denial if you want, but Ryan called it.

You have your opinions and I have mine. I think your jealousy towards Richlands has you in denial. I was sitting on Appos side Saturday, even they said that its a shame they had to play Richlands in week 3 because Clarke didn't deserve to be there. But I guess it still doesn't matter to you that the fans of the state champs said that.
