Is he the type to yell out "HOLD" on every play when his team is on defense and "Pass Interference" when they're on offense?

Completely agree. On the INT into triple coverage you could tell by watching at the snap where the ball was going because none of the other receivers were even running routes. That's why the corner and two safeties were able to get to the ball so quickly.

Then who?

I think he's running more because the pass plays are designed to go to one particular receiver and coverage of that means he has to take off.

Even with the interceptions he is still the best QB in SWVA.

It is VERY obvious where the ball is going when the ball is snapped. Eyes go straight to the intended receiver and never come off. The interception that was thrown Friday night was thrown into triple coverage with two receivers standing wide open. If RV will ever learn to look off a safety or go through progressions in the passing game they will be even more deadly.

Something that hasn't been mentioned is the fog that always rolls in around halftime on the ridge. This could definitely hamper RV's ability to throw the ball around.

Hamilton is the best I have seen in person.

It's homecoming week on The Ridge so who knows what will happen. A lot of things going on that can distract the team.

I would like to know too. I don't know of a speedster that they have at RB.

Great hire by Eastside. Terri Anne is a great person that will do that program well.

I think O'quinn has 6 INT's (2 in each game)

Ridgeview has great athletes but it is obvious that some are doing their own thing on the defensive side and it bites them sometimes.

Not very good at this point. They have the athletes that can get to the ball but don't get to the ball very well as a team, if that makes sense.

I have also heard good things about Coach V. Maybe Ridgeview finally has somebody that actually cares about the baseball program instead of somebody that is just filling a position.

I guess time will tell how the Virginia Scrappers, I mean Central Warriors, will do on the diamond.

Kelly Foster Jr is the new baseball coach at Central

I will second this. I heard a story about a FC fan going down onto the field at Rural Retreat and somehow got right beside an official and threatened him. When the police tackled the man a knife flew out of his pocket.

What are the best/worst places to go to a game when it comes to how the fans are in the stands?

Ridgeview's undoing will be their discipline and egos. They are talented enough to beat any team around here but they know they are, if that makes sense.

Last weeks showing at Grundy wasn't the best by the Pack. I'm sure there was a little bit of looking ahead to this week's matchup with Central. This is one of those games that Ridgeview will have probably 7 of the top 10 athletes on the field. However, if Central can methodically move the ball down the field like Grundy did, this one may be close at the end. Special teams might be the key factor to this one. Central has an experienced kicker that has the ability to kick from distance.

Lebanon could win this one big if they decide to keep their foot on the pedal. Games like this sometimes are closer than they could be if coaches start subbing early.

As a former official, I would have to say that Chilhowie was always one of the loudest stadiums and seemed to give the visiting team the most trouble.

Foster is a disaster waiting to happen. I know it was several years ago but he was at the middle of the little league football scuffle that made national news. I'm sure there will be some that will be happy to see him get the job because he already has his favorites. As far as Ridgeview goes, that program is on the upswing. The influx of players over the next few years is going to be a plus for the program.

IMO this one might be close for a quarter if Grundy can put together a couple decent drives and run some clock. Ridgeview is just a better team, not a knock on Grundy.
