TripleThreat

Honaker by 50

Marion is in year 2 of a new system that was taken over only a month before the start of last season. While your assessment of the skill players makes sense, they aren’t big enough up front to protect long enough to be successful in the spread in the SWD. Triple is a good offense for a team that’s undersized up front with some decent athletes. The QB doesn’t necessarily have to be a great athlete (although that helps) but needs to be a good leader and good decision maker. Running triple also shortens the game and keeps the score from getting out of hand, allowing a weaker team to stay in games longer.

Good article about Mark Palmer’s return to SWVA as an assistant coach at Northwood. https://t.co/nvirk0C6nC

Last I heard… 18-7 RR less than 7:00 left in the 4th

Even though the numbers are different seems like the point still stands. PH remains one of the largest schools in Class 1.

So PH and Chilhowie are the only ones on this list south of GW. Seems like that would give them a distinct advantage at least locally.

You can’t ever really count out anyone in the Hogo. But those 2 seem to be the front runners right now. Time will tell.

Goodspeed yes McFail Graduated

PH looks to be stout this year. All roads seem to lead to Honaker @ PH in October for the Hogo

1) Bluefield 2) Ridgeview 3) Pulaski 4) Union 5) Richlands 6) Graham 7) Va High 8 ) Galax 9) Mount View 10) Chilhowie

1) Bluefield 2) Union 3) Ridgeview 4) Graham 5) Richlands 6) Pulaski 7) Va High 8)Abingdon  9) Galax 10) Chilhowie 

They’ve always ran zone, so it’s not a complete change in philosophy.

Anyone else having issues with the sound?

I don’t know how you justify Chilhowie over Union?

Chilhowie is the better team this year but they’re already smelling themselves and the season hasn’t even started yet. Because of this it will be closer than it should be... Chilhowie by 6

Northwood @ Roanoke Catholic tomorrow night at 7pm. Should be a good one.

Sounds like it was a great game! Possible playoff matchup!?

Matchup wise, Grundy had runners that would have been hard for Chilhowie to handle. As it was, Chilhowie dipped around the best runners in 1A until they ran into Riverheads. And we all know what happened then...

Chilhowie lost to GW last year, beat a battered and bruised Galax team, and didn’t have to play Grundy. You realize you didn’t even include GW right? They caught some breaks and made a run. But personally I’m not ready to crown them yet.

1) Galax 2) GW 3) Grundy 4) Chilhowie 5) J. I. Burton 6) Narrows 7) Patrick Henry 8 Northwood 9) Hurley 10) Eastside

1) Bluefield 2) Graham 3) Union 4) Ridgeview 5) Richlands 6) Pulaski 7) Va High 8)Abingdon 9) Tazewell 10) Galax

3 teams that did not make the playoffs last year that you predict to make it this year... of course, non Richlands division...

Hurley scrimmaged Northwood 4TDs to 4TDs. Really competitive scrimmage and good work for both schools.
