You've seen Radford in person. I've only seen film.
Are the Reg D folks too confident on their chances against the Bobcats?
I don't think anybody that matters is taking anybody else lightly at this point in the season. I know that Tony P. and company preach the importance of respecting your opponent each time they play. I'm sure Union does the same. If I'm Graham or Union, you can at least see a chink in the armour of Radford and that gives a little confidence, I believe. These last couple of weeks (including tomorrow's game) are going to be one of the most exciting in AA in quite a few years.
Central, although good is not very diverse offensively. Stop Forbes, you stop Central. They squeaked out an 8-7 win last week, could be they were too predictable tonight. I wouldn't count Gladiator eggs just yet. Some very explosive offenses left in this thing with Radford, Union, Graham and Poquoson.
Union and Graham also have stout defenses, especially Union.
The Reg D winner needs a strong AD to make the case to the VHSL to ensure it gets moved in case the powers that be at Radford try to keep it at Radford. I hope the people at Radford don't put up an argument and move the game. The Glenvar game should not be played at Radford.
If you are a Reg D team coming to Radford and Radford didn't move it, I would do the same. Get there early and set on home side. Warning to all Region D fans, if played at Radford, the power Karen's will be there at the gate trying to direct you to the non home side. Legally, they can't do that, but they will try to intimidate you. They can't stop you from setting on Radford side.
I don't care where they direct me, I'm plopping down in the top row, on the home side cheering for the region D team as loud as I can.
The region D team would bring enough fans that it would be absolute chaos if the game wasn’t moved. Can you imagine Graham and Union sitting on the same side at the park Saturday?
Yeah, if they don't move it, I say everybody from D show up early and take over the home side. Heck, if Graham or Union win, I plan on going to support either team that gets out of D, assuming Radford wins of course. I say, we have a takeover!!
Yes. Apparently they have roped off a section for Glenvar fans on the home side. If Radford hosts the State Semi-finals, surely the VHSL will make them move it.
Coach Crist has done a pretty good job with Clark. Lots of knocks on Crist's on the field and game day knowledge but Clark has grown not just on the field but off the field. He's matured a bit and this is the report from teachers in the classroom to fellow players to assistant coaches. Crist has been a huge part of that. Clark's got a lot of talent and if he keeps his head on straight, then he's got a good future. He's definitely matured over the past year emotionally.
Clark is very impressive with his ability to make plays with his feet and find the open receiver when scrambling. Very accurate passer downfield also. He also has very good speed. Difficult matchup for anybody they play.
In watching some of the Radford game what struck me was Clark often had all day to stand there and pass with what looked like a field full of receivers. Someone has to get to him to beat him. Make them pull people in for protection. You can’t let him stand around back there all day.
Seen Union bus driver at dmv this week trust me he’s ready
That's bad news for Graham. I hear Graham can't find a bus driver, driver shortage over this way, may have to go with a rookie bus driver and that is a huge disadvantage for Graham. Also, I hear that Graham has requested to wear the all yellow at Bullitt Park - Graham has no chance.
