Just watched the post-game interview with Mookie Collier.  Addressed the media as "Sir" , spoke of God's blessings and praise for his team.  Impressive young man both on and off the field.

Riverheads reminds me a lot of Giles.
Both are well-coached, disciplined teams that run an old-school offense to perfection.    

Union played a B game and needed an A- game to win.  The special teams miscues were the difference in a classic clash of titans.  You didn’t get robbed.  You got beat by a more crisply executing team.  Them’s the breaks.

Riverheads will more than likely be 14 point favorites. I don't think Chilhowie will slow down their run game or stop them from scoring but I think the Warriors will be able to score some points of their own. I just hope it's a good game. This will make the 3rd year in a row that I've watched Riverheads in a state game. Riverheads is like Giles. If you stop the run game, you win. But if you try stopping the run game by putting 9 in the box, then you lose.

I was laughed out of the room back in August for suggesting that Chilhowie was a darkhorse to not only win Region D, but challenge Galax for a trip to the title game.  Funny how y’all forget this crap when it comes time to cash in on these predictions.
 
I’m not crapping on Chilhowie.  I’m just being a realist, something that always seems to get lost on this board when the later rounds of the playoffs roll around.  I’ll take the aspirin if you lay off the ganja.

The three best teams in 1A are all from the East (Riverheads, Essex, and Sussex Central).  
You then have a big gap down to William Campbell, Chilhowie, Galax, and Narrows.
 

This shart stain is a nothing but a troll. Three different posts he referred to Richland. It's Richlands, and you'd know that if you were really from Union.  

You guys put up one hell of a fight today! You represented SWVA with pride. No Bear should hang their head. Great season, guys! Congratulations

We consider T52OS one of the Germans. 

THE ONLY THINK I WILL EVER POST FROM MAXPREPS...
 
 

I just keep watching Truck's TD.  
I think he broke 7 tackles on a 9 yard run.

Also, what an awesome broadcast to watch. Great job done by WV Metro News

Mookie Collier is the MVP!!!
What a player and playmaker on both sides of the ball.  How high he leaped to knock down that final pass by Neal. 

Hell of a game. Entertaining from beginning to end. It's a shame either had to lose. 
Fairmont's QB was awesome. Bluefied could've been in trouble had they not injured him on the last drive. He was limping the last 3 plays and didn't look like he was setting his feet. 
Congrats to the beavers and Coach Simon. From 4-6 and missing the playoffs last year to 14-0 and winning the state championship this year. 
Too bad we can't get 4 more years of watching Truck and Mookie play! 

Champions in 1959, 1962, 1965, 1967, 1975, 1984, 1997, 2004, 2007, 2009, and 2017

#2 Bluefield - 29
#4 Fairmont - 26
FINAL
Bluefield wins #10!

TRUCK....SHOVES....
Bluefield  29
Fairmont Sr. 26   5:54 4th. qtr. 

I just had to look it up.
Origin of Fairmont Sr. "Polar Bears" Mascot (per Wikipedia)
Originally the athletics teams were known as "Ice's Men" in reference to Coach Frank Ice who coached the school's athletic teams from 1914 to 1920. In 1926 the Polar Bear mascot was officially established in honor of the coach. The class of 1972 donated twin polar bear statues that line the entrance of the school.

Truck said NO!

I think we can all agree, West Virginia officiating is garbage.
