Optimal62 reacted to SWVAFB in Chilhowie Shocked by the loss of Will Walker
Folks in and around the community of Chilhowie are still in a state of shock and disbelief in the sudden loss of their former WARRIOR, Will Walker. Will was killed in a farm accident late Thursday evening near Chilhowie. Will was a outstanding running back several years ago at CHS. He was 30 years old, and a AG teacher at Chilhowie and Northwood. Will was a great person, a great husband, and a brand new dad.
We ask why Lord? Only our Father in Heaven knows the answer as to why. But we can be assured that Will is with Our Holy Father now. Will won the race to get to Heaven before we did. God knows what he is doing, and he knows why. Life on this Earth throws us a curve ball from time to time, and we have to accept his actions and keep the Faith, knowing that we will all be reunited in Heaven with Will and the others that have passed before us.
Please Pray for Will's family and friends. Prayer is what we all need to help comfort our loss. May OUR Lord be with us now and in the days to come.
May God Bless us all.

I was more so referencing the playoff mess in 2D that allowed Grayson to compete in a SWD spot without playing in the SWD. I think 1C is a great spot for them to be quite honest.

Optimal62 reacted to sixcat in Any questions for podcast this week??
In football, they would have to be considered top 4 in 1C if we were discussing this season, wouldn't they? They will have a few down years like any other small school but I believe it makes them much more viable on a state level in a bunch of sports.
They should be considered one of the favorites year in and year out for a state title in baseball!

Optimal62 got a reaction from sixcat in Questions for Thursday's Pod?
The play calling by Dixon against Glenvar was by far the best I have seen from him to date. The past few years he would run the same play multiple, multiple times a game. Ha in some games it would be the same play all the way down the field until he scored, just changed the blocking a little. He put those kids in a position as to WIN Friday against Glenvar. You had no idea what was coming and it all worked very well. If one of the QBs hadn't mishandled the ball 3 different times (all deep in Glenvar territory) would have had a different outcome. In the past it was a heavy dose of RB1 and a heavy dose of RB2 all while being pounded on by the line, then throw if needed. It was extremely fun to see what would come next. The same on defense. He ran more different blitz packages Friday night than I seen him run in the past 4 or 5 seasons combined. The lack of the afford mentioned cost them the game against Chilhowie last year. We will know more after the game against Radford Friday night. I am far from crowning Galax on anything or jumping on hype train as there is a ton of ball to be played. Although I am with Sixcat this team has different feel to it this year, and it is centered around Dixon.

Optimal62 reacted to Union_Fan in Cross-bracket or not?
I don't really have an argument in this, but it does appear that you have created a circular reference in that Alabama > Alabama, therefore a tear in the space time continuum could occur and cause anyone that attends the Alabama/Clemson game to disappear into a black hole.
Just saying. Am I the only one to catch that?

Optimal62 reacted to Hokiebird7 in Cross-bracket or not?
They are playing for the title so yes. And may be #1 after Saturday
So if they win Saturday you saying they aren't the #1 team in 1A?

Best vs best is what we have....called a state championship game
If everyone thinks two teams are the 2 best then that's just their opinion IMO

Current....cross bracketing is BS IMO
And nobody knows who 2nd beat team is....its all opinion
2nd beat team is whoever gets the loss next Saturday

Optimal62 reacted to sixcat in Chilhowie vs. Riverheads - 1A State Championship
I've read your commentary on the "other site". Welcome!
All of 1A football is down this season as compared to recent years with the exception of Narrows and Chlhowie. Any of the Galax, Clintwood, Haysi, Riverheads, Essex and George Wythe teams of the past 5-6 seasons would have dominated from the opening quarter of the opening game of this season. With that said, I wish Chilhowie all the best and will be rooting for anyone from SWVA at this juncture of the season. But Riverheads will win this game going away!
I have said on this site for a year, if you're going to get Galax, get them now. The group coming up through the middle school is going to be something special!
