I always get nervous about the GW game every year. I usually watch a couple of their games in person and think are we going to be able to match that speed. And yet we do. GW looked really impressive against Grayson , but Galax looked the best I had seen in a long time Friday night. Football is a game of lucky breaks and momentum so anything can happen. We may end up losing this one but I have been extremely impressed with the Galax kids character and fight this year. To battle back and forth with Glenvar after missing a whole week of practice and to play hard against Graham being down 5 starters , no matter how the game ends up I’ll be proud of their efforts. .

Teams are trying to run spread and a lot of times they don’t have the athletes to do it. On the flip side they are using smaller D linemen as well to match up against the spread. When they come up against teams who are using big strong offensive line there are getting mashed.

I would hate to be the coach who found out he only had a day and a half to prepare for the single wing!!! Which would be Grayson ,I think lol

There is three maybe four people that post on this board that are from Galax and unless I am missing something I hasn't seen anyone from Galax accusing GW of trying to get another week to prepare to help win the region . if so please show me. Besides I am pretty sure they had a bye week before Galax in the regular season as well. It is what it is. If you look at my posts this year I have done nothing but spoke highly of GW this year. Maybe I chose my words poorly when I said "get out of" but was just pointing out the irony didn't think people would get so bent out of shape over it.lol its been a running joke all year about the Graham game and most of the GW posters have been kidding about it as well. My goodness people need to lighten up! Besides Galax has to get past GC this Friday before even thinking about GW. The unfortunate part Is this incident has robbed kids of playing time and memories win or lose .

Start going down the line and asking the other teams if they want to play ....... Can't believe GW is going to get out of another game

In my opinion Galax was the better team in 2015 and 2019 and Riverheads was better in 2016 and 2020 by far.

For those who hasn't watched the game on NFHS and listened to the coach, it is funny and describes the issue here perfectly. Lol

I went back and reread it and deleted that part as I could see it wasn't meant that way by you.

I officiated for a year a couple of years after coaching for the better part of a decade. My job no longer allowed the time it took to coach and I thought officiating would be a good way to stay around the game I loved. The job I got shortly after no longer allowed for even that, but I can say it was a unique experience, and I feel like I have a unique point of view having been on three sides of the game. One of the issues is the assignment of games. It may be different now but they use to have you travel a long ways for games and the pay is not that good. I have seen some poorly officiated games the past two years including a state championship a couple years ago that was horrid and games shouldn't be decided by a poorly officiated game but unfortunately it happens. On the other hand I have witnessed games that had zero issues with officiating but people don't remember those. The one thing I don't see. In the past couple of years that I use to was when a flag was thrown and it was an iffy the group would get together and discuss if someone had a different view of the play, I don't see that now and I feel that hurts the game, because there is no way one person can see it all and just get it wrong sometimes.

His voice definitely would go up several octaves in pitch, lol. They need to Mix this guy up and the game would certainly be more entertaining. But I don't think he knows what constitutes a holding call. Lol

You guys may already know this but I found a sight called SW VA High School Sports (Crunch) that covers all of the NRV and region C schools. Pretty neat site and has weekly two hour podcasts. Thought you might want to check out.

On paper Galax should win. But when you have cross town rivals anything goes.

Is QB1 going to play for Glenvar or is he still out?

I remember Bobby Bowden state in an interview that he was told Curry was the QB in the nation coming out of high school and that somebody had lied to him.. Speaking of Vick. Lol

Looking back at FC results this year. It looks like they was in every game except Radford, Giles and Galax. Looks like all those games their points came In garbage time. So yeah I could see them being a 6-3 team if the ball bounced a little differently

GW looked really good last night against a Grayson team that played Giles extremely tough.

How does that work for 1D with three districts?

Vhsl (what is showing today not updated from Friday's games) has their points at 14.833 number 5 with Covington ahead of them at 15.40. And with Covington losing and may be done for the year GW should move ahead.

Holston will host all the way through semifinals if they win out. With twin springs in second place. I think chilhowie is slightly ahead of PH for third place still. 1C is Galax in first place if they win out. Giles in second and PM in third. GW is slightly ahead of Grayson with those two playing this week. Covington and Narrows and Eastern Montgomery bottom three unless Covington doesn't finish season. Then it's Craig next

The 2016 RH team was one of the best team I have seen in play in my time. Galax had the second best team in the state that year and was a massive team and they made us look like jv. They was impressive. The fact that RH can dress 80 plus kids in 1A or 2A is within itself a weapon. Their defense is phenominal and their offense makes them a tough game just by itself. The down side of that is how many kids has that system produced that is playing at the next level?

Looks like no matter who wins Region C we are going to be traveling to D again. Holaton or Chilhowie.

Iove watching games at GW field. Great view from everywhere in the stadium. There was some hits being threw last night. Don't know if the stadium amplifies the sound but there was some loud pops. Although I hope the GW lineman didn't mess his knee up to bad. It looked like he was in alot of pain. Galax looked good last night Allen certainly called off the dogs mid way through second quarter. The third string TB number 7 can absolutely fly. Wow, he needs to get the ball out to him in space more. On that long run he made one of the prettiest cuts I have seen all year.
