Being a huge fan of high school football, I'm proud of all 6 of those teams. Only 1 can win it all but the other 5 should not be ashamed of the outcome. I doubt any division will ever be as deep as 2A West is this year. I dont have a high school team that I really pull for, I go to games all over the state. In 1A i would like to see GW or Radford win it all, but they have to go through Essex and Riverheads :(  In 2A i would like to see Giles or Richlands win it all, but they have 4 great opponents on the West side to go through. Im a fan of all the west teams, but I just love watching Giles play, especially at their stadium. I was there last year when they played Lee and when I heard that train horn that they have it gave me cold chills. I could only imagine how it pumps up their players. And even though some call it boring, I love watching that single wing offense and no one else in the state does it better than them.

I agree. Everyone wants to take Glenvar out but playoffs are far more important. Rest Grant til 2nd round of playoffs

That was the problem with Giles. Theyre a power running team and you just can't run up the middle on Glenvar. Not sure how Glenvar will match up with a good team that does the spread. I don't see any team putting up big numbers against Glenvar though

I firmly believe that if Richlands hasn't had a run of success no one would say a word about people coming in. It's the same song and dance every year from the outsiders looking in. There are kids transferring to play at plenty of other schools besides Richlands. Quit beating a dead horse in the ground. Last time I checked, there wasn't a superior academic power in SWVA either, so that argument is also invalid

Michael learned that in Leavenworth.
Marcus is still trying.

Not sure if Vick could could count to 10 actually...

If parents want to transfer their kids to a succesful school then so what? If i lived in the area i would definitely send my kids to Richlands. They have a great tradition going on over there, and I would want Mance to coach my son. The Tornado community in itself is just wonderful. Ive been through there a few times and have nothing bad to say about any of the people. So polite and respectful. I would put them with Giles as the most respected places i have been to in my years.

I get what he was saying. If you're a parent and your kid is gifted at football/basketball/baseball and of by transferring him to a better school in said sport to gain the possibility of collegiate exposure and a possible free education, then I can understand it.

Haven't heard it but I sure hope they do it....just like the old days....but as stupid as the VHSL is it wouldn't surprise me if first round games would be 2A west #1 hosting 2A East #16 and so on LOL

Hey now....I think there was a game this year where we threw the ball 4 times....get your facts straight ha ha ha

45-18 Richlands
 
Why? I flipped a coin, it landed on heads, which was designated for Richlands.
 
Why the score? Because I am 45 years old and I got the number 18 based on the fact that my favorite dog lived to be 18 years old.
 
so much for stats and probability.......

I love seeing teams like Bland have success, but I just don't think they have what it takes to stop Graham. Don't be fooled by their record, they have played some great teams this season. If their rb gets momentum then it's game over for the Bears.

Will Grant play? I heard he had a high ankle sprain. However, I don't the severity of the sprain. High ankle sprain usually depending on the severity of the sprain usually take 4-6 weeks to heal. I do wish him a speedy recovery. He is a fantastic player.

#1.  Appomattox by a couple of scores, minimum!
 
#2.  Glenvar by 10ish.
 
#3.  Richlands........see #1!

No. Not at all.
 
I've been outspoken that Graham should by no means be in the MED. It's not fair to schools like Narrows and Bland in most sports. And it's not like the MED would collapse without Graham in it: there are 5 other teams. The Highlands existed for years with 4.
 
Graham needs to be back in the SWD. Would be better for Graham all the way around.

GW is a completely different team since they played Radford. They still have improvements to make but they are a young team that will be a handful this post season and years to come.
