No GW leads ph 21-0 1:05 1st Q

That's how I am if they aren't playing GW lol

Ok I'll try and find it and check it out. I'll say this about GW we have everything we need to win a title. Who is your team if you don't mind me asking?

What station was it I'd like to see if it's on there Web site. And the only way GW and Galax can play again is in Salem for the title. 1A West #2GW vs #7PH #3Hurley vs #5PM #1Galax vs #8Jib #4FC vs #5Chilhowie

Like you said when GW isn't making dumb mistakes and turnovers they are next level. GW has made a few good teams look like they had neve seen a football. Not 1 team has held them under 40 in a win and they have all been at least 3 td wins. This is a very special group at GW this year.

He meant it in the sense of calling someone a "special snowflake" meaning that person is very sensitive and gets butthurt easily. Nothing racist was ever the intention.

I think so to in the Rad film Dakota looked like he was still off a step. And the line looks like it took 2 steps back from the 1st game. And that's not good we lives in the backfield against them. If our pass O is even half as good as it was last time this game could actually be worse.

^^^ That's spot on

We have 11 teams from SWVA still in the playoffs. GW, Galax, Hurley, PH, Giles, Graham, Richlands, JIB, Union, FC, Chilhowie. And yes some of these teams are playing each other. But I want to wish them all good luck tomorrow night. All of you young men are representing SWVA very well keep it up fellas. Safe travels to all heading to a game. GO MAROONS

I mean I'm 100% fine with people busting my chops. But I respect the effort these kids put in to much to go at them directly.

I'm not calling him out dude Bigwinners said he didn't know anything about them. So I was simply telling him what they had other than Dakota. The freshman they have imho has a chance to be just as good as Dakota by the time he is a senior. All I was doing was telling him that PH has him and they use him but he isn't nearly as big a threat. It's that simple and to answer your question I'd say not many at all. Again I'll say the kid is good but he isn't the threat that needs to be worried about.

Who the hell am I calling out in saying he is an amazing player.

PH really only has 1 legitimate threat Dakota Humphrey. The QB is ok but he didn't even have a second to think last game. And they have a freshman RB with ok speed but he isn't Dakota by any stretch.

I think the kids will come in focused they know they have to stop Dakota. Last game they did a great job of that while he was in the game. And I've watch the PH vs Rad film and he looked good but looked like he still had some issues.

And I want to say this. Yes it sucks that an 11-0 Hurley team is being questioned. If Galax, GW, Radford, RR ect went 11-0 this year they would be the favorite to win it all. But that is because of years of success and deep playoff runs. So until Hurley beats GW or one of the perennial powers they will be questioned. Is it right? No the kids work just as hard and to them 11-0 is the best record in 1A. But to the outside viewers it's an 11-0 record against pitifully bad teams. Again it isn't right but it's life and remember the top absolutely hates when someone from the bottom challenges there hold on power. I've seen this comparison a few times now. Look at Western Michigan 10-0 the only unbeaten other than Alabama. But they set at 21 while several teams with 3 losses are ahead of them. It all comes down to recent success Hurley hasn't had any really. This is there chance to prove they belong at the top it's not up to other teams to give them that spot it's up to them to take it. Again best of luck to Hurley I've said it before I'll say it again. If they beat my beloved MAROONS I'll be a Hurley fan the rest of the way.

I fully get it was a generalization and yes until someone else holds the gold the Tide is king. That's why I said I agree to a point. And I would favor Galax no question no matter where it took place. I've seen both in person and FC isn't all that impressive. No disrespect but I honestly think Chilhowie, PH (with Dakota)are both better than FC. Yes they beat Galax and that can't be taken away. But we all know they are not on that elite level. That level is reserved for the proven few it takes success on top of success to even be considered. GW hasn't has a loosing season in 20 years. That's is the type of consistency you must have. But no matter what any of us say it's win or go home now. And we are all so close to having so many questions answered. The next 2 weeks will tell us all we need to know. Best of luck to Hurley and everyone else still plying.

"Sorry GW fans, sorry Riverhead fans and all the others but until Galax is knocked off they are the best in 1A" I'm really not trying to start anything by saying this but by that measure FC is the best team in 1A. They not only beat Galax they beat them soundly. For 4 Qs FC was in control. Now with that said I do agree with you to a point. Now yes some of us are spoiled by the amount of success our teams have year in and year out. And I think that is where alot of this divide comes from. By others standards this Hurley team is amazing but by other people's standards they are unproven. It's really not a knock on the team or the kids. We all know how hard they work they know they have that chip on there shoulders. To prove they are legit and as sad as it is they are going to have to win this week and next week convincingly to prove that. Best of luck to the kids of Hurley and even though I haven't seen you guys this year thank you for the time and effort you guys put in.

Yeah a win over a 3A is gonna boost you a little.

VHSL put a higher premium on in state competition would be my only guess. And if you take the top 5 rated teams each played PM'S opponents are higher rated. PM top 5 opponent ratings BG 54.1 FC 52.0 Cov 30.8 JR 25.0 RB 23.5 Hurleys top 5 opponent ratings Grundy 38.6 CW 23.4 TS 19.6 Hon 15.7 TV 14.6

So we've had the discussion all season about who's played who. And SOS so I took the time to look at the remaining 8 teams in 1A West. I came up with playoff teams played and opponents W-L record. Do what you will with this info lol. #1-Galax 8 playoff teams played 66-42 opponent W-L SOS 41.9 #2-GW 8 playoff teams played 45-53 opponent W-L SOS 33.4 #3-Hurley 5 playoff teams played 39-69 opponent W-L SOS 18.7 #4-FC 7 playoff teams played 63-44 opponent W-L SOS 39.5 #5-Chilhowie 7 playoff teams played 50-58 opponent W-L SOS 30.6 #6-PM 3 playoff teams played 29-72 opponent W-L SOS 25.2 #7-PH 7 playoff teams played 48-58 opponent W-L SOS 27.1 #8-Jib 6 playoff teams played 44-63 opponent W-L SOS 21.5

Wins are the end game. I know when I played the group I played with wanted people to hate us. It made it that much sweeter when we won because people couldn't stand our success.

Yes VHSL does it randomly but I went with what it had on the 1st go. I did that for every game I simulated. Now Cal Preps gives you 1 score and 1 score only.

Same for GW we have a constant flow of subs. We even sub O linemen and at the WRs it never stops.

I mean I've see triple that at GW playoff games before so it's doable. But that is a long trip for 2000 people.

According to that post 2000 fans...
