Note: I believe this is the first time Rye Cove has ever been ranked in the history of the SWVA Sports Poll & 10 of the top 12 have road games this week

I think you’d have to rank the 12 teams of the SWD-M7 as follows:
 
1 Graham (SW)
2 Ridgeview (M7)
3 Union (M7)
4 Gate City/Abingdon (M7)
6 Tazewell/Virginia (SW)
8 Central (M7)
9 Lee (M7)
10 Richlands/Marion (SW)
12 Battle (M7)
 
 

Three things are for certain:
Pack football team win by a lot. Pack football fans will be deaf for the next week after this game from the horrible PA system blaring music at a million decibels. Grundy PA announcer will complain and try to influence the refs about some holding call that wasn't called. With that said, Ridgeview wins something like 56-7.

Just curious but what does a game v. THS have to do with GC keeping up with Union?   It is an out of state, non-conference, non-district game.  Looks good on the "resume" but little else.
