I think Marion doesn't match up well with Virginia High. VA High is much stronger up front, and has alot more speed than Marion. The Canes do have a tough defense, and Ford has potential to keep moving the chains. Should be a good one!
Mance will never coach another high school team in VA not named Giles. Period. If he leaves and coaches again, it'll be at the college level to some extent.
If Mance coaches outside of VA, it will be at a Tennessee School, and not necessarily as a head coach!
They can't pass basically they run the single wing without all the fakes or handoffs.The best player is number 2 that's about all you can say about them lol
# 2 is VA High's best player, but keep thinking that in 2 weeks, and Marion's streak comes to an end. VA High has a lot more than you think. If you think the Canes can compete any better with Graham, Good Luck!
I think Union is more physical and mentally sound than Graham. Both teams have speed. Will give Graham the edge. But Union has more people that can beat you than just Mitchell. Union plays clock control game and keep their offense off the field. Frustration sets in and they lose their cool. Game over. And I see RV beating VHS if they meet. RV is the sleeper in all this.
Now saying all this, I mean no disrespect to graham or VHS. This is just how I see things playing out. It’ll be fun to see it all play out. But before all that, let’s finish the regular season. Got a district title to win!
Union isn't anywhere as athletic as Graham. Graham has multiple athletes and speed at all levels. Mitchell will be tough to stop, but take him out of the equation, and where is Union? As for Ridgeview, only time will tell. Lets see what they do against Abingdon? Then we will talk.
V High is super deep and really big up front. Graham is a little more athletic. It's gonna come down to qb play and if taymon can get loose. I will say this though, Grahams depth hurt them some late in the season last year. The kids coming off the field with hands on hips and worn down. It'll be interesting to see this year with the bulk of their more challenging games here at the end of their schedule.
I will say this about the "Bearcats"! No one in the region expects them to win. Union was surprised at how they were played in what you want to call a "Vanilla" scrimmage. I know this, these boys have heart and are having fun. Believe it or not, most of them love football more than baseball, and most of the athletes are baseball players. VA High has a chip on its shoulder, and want to prove how good they are. There is no fear in the athletes. You can tell in the way they play. AHS game will show if they are for real!
Richlands will name this score. There will be a parade in Tazewell before this game, as they do for the Middle School? Don't let Richlands schedule fool you. This score is 52-7!
This game is big for both teams. Va High isn't the whipping boy of last year or years past. This game comes down to can VA High Stop the run, and can Abingdon stop the pass!
I think that when they get to tougher competition their shortcomings will show. We played them first and they were good but I won't say great. We shut them down in the second half and we are a much better team now then we were then. I actually think if we replayed them it would be a much closer game. Of course could be wrong and they may have gotten much better since then as well. I look for Marion and Graham to be a loss. Abingdon and Richlands will be a toss up simply because I haven't seen them play yet.
Tazewell is getting better and needs to remind itself that VA High went very vanilla in second half. 35 points at halftime was kind. Same thing with 44 points at halftime of Graham game.
