Stranger danger

I talked to a guy today that used to ref. He told me he thought they could only use play clocks in the finals if both teams had play clocks at their home fields. If one or neither had them, they wouldn't be used in the title game.

Why did they use the play clock in the second game(1A), but not the first game (2A)?

Appo went one on one with Bradshaw, and he pretty much was no factor as a receiver in that game. Now other areas, FACTOR!

So. Didn't Graham practice Friday? Appo probably did not before getting there due to travel. Isn't it fair that both teams got to practice Friday?

Radford throws 5 picks, lost a fumble, and Glenvar recovered an onside kick. Radford should of been able to put them away

Not 100% sure, but I believe Narrows has that spot

Did Giles not get a forfeit from Auburn?

Going to check out PM/EMont. Giles might draw EMont next week and PM the week after. Something to do on a Friday night

I don't see how Grayson is below Narz, E.Mont, and Covington. Grayson is 5-4 with wins over 3A Carroll and 2A Marion. Narz, E.Mont, and Covington have only wins against very bad 1A teams.

Looks like GW and Grayson may finish 4th and 5th seed. Rematch in first round, with the winner being rewarded with a round 2 trip to Galax

Yeah, but I think even in those times, you had teams "declared" champions of districts, regions, and even state.

I see what you're saying. But absolutely no up side for Giles to take that game. Really no upside for Graham either.

Giles is sitting in the #2 seed. Why risk that to get blown out and beat up by Graham? Take the forfeit from Auburn. Get healthy as can be for this time of year. That "2 seed gets you two home playoff games, as long as you take care of business.

Auburn is still practicing, saw them today. Must be planning on playing Giles next week if he's got enough healthy kids. I'm sure Williams will pull starters early. He's good about stuff like that

Yeah, well there's a few rocks there on the hill around our scoreboard that says we did, can, and need to. Ricky Cook and Raphael Milton says we do. So it is a definite plus to have a tailback that can throw.

I like #23 at tailback next year. Watching warm ups, kid by far has the best arm. Needs to get a little tougher running the ball, but he's just a sophomore too

Not too sure. When they cancelled their game with Floyd, they went by their matchups. Floyd apparently had a lot of big seniors and juniors. Auburn has many 9th an 10th graders that the coach thought couldn't matchup physically. Giles is fairly small and young also. Probably got 6 or so sophomores starting on O & D. He may feel he can get through that game without a lot of injuries.

If I were Galax, I'd take the forfeit. Likely no small school would play them, and they could risk their #1 seed if they pick up a big school and lose. Giles should do the same the next week. Giles should be #2 seed if they beat James River next week. That gets you 2 home playoff games, as long as you take care of business. Plus an extra week off this late helps with injuries.

Giles looks to be in pretty good shape for #2 seed in region. Only way to move up is to run the table, which would include a final game win against Glenvar, or another Galax loss. I don't see either of those happening. Taking a forfeit from Auburn would be better than playing a big school and taking a loss. Plus another week of to try to get/stay healthy for the playoffs

Passed through Riner yesterday. Auburn is practicing. As far as I know their game with Grayson is on for tonight. Maybe he's got enough healthy kids now to finish the season, unless more injuries occur.

FYI----- anybody planning to make the trip to Galax, get there early. Visitor seating is very small. Probably only seats about 200.

I'm a Giles guy, but the reality is Coach Allen at Galax called off the dogs after they got up 28-0. If memory serves me correct, I believe his first year coaching at Tazewell in 2012, Giles played them in regularly season. Giles was really good that year, and after dominating the first half, Coach Williams pulled the starters. Tazewell got to score some points in the second half, ending up something like 57-35. Sure Allen remembered and appreciated that. Knowing these 2 teams are in the same district now, and going to matchup often,looks like both coaches like and respect each other. Just my take.

Guess those athletes and skill players missed the bus

No chest thumping. Just reaffirming my response to your original post. Not everybody on that welcoming committee with Galax

GW not quite ready to welcome Giles to 1A. still confused?
