Galax has taken down both teams in 1C that are suppose to be playing in 2C. I love to see it!

Congrats Galax

winner of Graham/Union vs Rivershead for title

Outside of Altavista and Riverheads over the past decade, Region 1B has been the weakest region in Virginia. Riverheads hasn't played an opening round playoff game in several years. Region 2B is slightly stronger than its Class 1 counterpart. The road to Salem will be a lot tougher than it has been in previous years for Riverheads. They are definitely capable of reaching that goal but it will take a considerably higher toll on them physically to reach it.

I think at this stage they may have already adjusted.  Someone said it already, it's not their first rodeo but back to back to back in 2A will test their limitations.  Someone having a defense that is physical enough to do it four quarters is a rarity these days but if they have an offense that can jump on them and get out by a couple of scores to force them out of their element and pass a little more, it could happen.  They're so good at moving the ball and eating clock, and their Defense isn't bad either but we'll see.

GW and Galax are no slouches and have a history of winning and I'm a Region C guy. I hope Galax wins the whole thing, but Honaker is "Radfordish" on offense and GW/Galax will have one heck of a time beating them. I know Sussex, Essex and Altavista are good and I have no idea if they beat Honaker...IF Honaker is the team from the west, but I promise you this, Honaker will score......alot, win or lose even if it's Essex. They have a dynamic and explosive Offense at the Class 1 level. 
If Galax doesn't win it, I will root for Honaker because I like Tiller. Tiller is a heck of a coach. I've always liked him going back to his time at F.Chiswell.

Galax rattled them early and the QB and coach struggled the rest of the night.  Galax dominated the line of scrimmage all night- something they did not do the first game 

This is not a knock on Riverhead or Giles although their offenses can cover up alot of talent issues (if there is any)just be shear schemes. Much easier to block a D lineman at angles with help and you are just trying to get them turned a certain way than straight up try and man handle a DT with a gap assignement by yourself 

Galax has physically dominated Grayson tonight in all phases. Galax mistakes have kept it close . 

Appalachia and jonesville won state in the 80s at 5-5

Yeah, I don’t like only 4 teams getting in because you will always have quality teams missing the playoffs. I know I’m in the minority but I think reducing classifications to only 4 solves a lot of problems. 

The problem with only four teams advancing is you can have some really good teams miss the playoffs. I know George Wythe and Galax both have missed playoffs with 9-1 records before and Galax only had 28 points scored on them that whole year. 
   As far as a record cutoff, where is the line? Galax win state in 2015 with a 6-4 regular season record.

Credit to FC, but even as a Giles fan, FC on most nights isn't 29 pts better than Narrows. I know there's the argument that the Pioneer is weak....and it is, but it goes back to what some including myself have said for years on this board.....Fort Chiswell is one weird and fickle MoFo and you try to gauge them, assess them, predict them, and they will shit all over you!

The man is probably reading these comments while pleasuring himself as we speak.

@Union_Fan, @VHSLhelper
WSLS News 10 has Giles finishing 8th and playing Grayson. I know I should never doubt either of you but could something have potentially been missed or is it likely a flaw from whoever runs the numbers for the news? I just need confirmation before I start running my mouth for the next 7 days 

CalPreps now has Galax 24 Grayson 21. A week ago, that was GC 34 Galax 21. 
 
This has been a weird season, especially in Class 1. It’s hard to tell if Galax is rounding into form late in the season or if the past two weeks have been against weak competition. I can’t remember the last time we were heading into the last week of the regular season not knowing who the clearcut favorite to win Region 1C is. 

Wait what? Members should only comment on their own team?  Why some people want to suck the fun outta everything? The back and forth makes this board fun! Lighten up & have a cold one! 😉

GW just scored on a fake punt pass!
23-0 with 3:41 remaining. I love it!

GW 16
Grayson 0
6:30 remaining in the game 

I know Blacksburg is a struggling program lately but how bad do they have to be to lose to Giles 35-8? I know those two schools have a history but how much larger is Blacksburg than Giles?

This is just my opinion, but I wouldn't automatically assume Galax beats Fort Chiswell Friday night. FC plays Galax as tough year in and year out as anyone else in the MED. A FC win this Friday and a Giles win in the final week might make @SWVAgridirona happy man.
