The RV fans on here are certainly not as optimistic as the team. Saw several statements in the paper that was state title or bust? One could argue they’ll have the best offensive and defensive player on the field in every game. Why the pessimism RV fans?
LOL I would be more concerned if it were flipped where the players were not optimistic and the fans were. I give kudos for the players speaking out saying, as you put it, state or bust, after all if the state title is not the end goal then why suit up in the 1st place. And BTW really no argument, they do have the best offensive and defensive player. This coming from a Central fan.
Yea possibly but because of other teams in the Mnt 7 being down.. TBH they were good but not great last year. Was very lucky to have beat Ridgeview and it was controversial at that. But I would have to agree that they are the team to beat this year.
Injures on the LOS lead to 2 other Underclassmen starting several games during the season. Last seasons JV may provide depth but the starter should have all seen Plenty of Game Time last season. WR losses will be tough if RV sticks with the spread Sexton will be a big loss but
Gottcha I wasn't real sure just going off last years roster. In any event I do hope the Pack have a great season,
Pretty sure Ridgeview only lost 2 starting(Full Time) O-Linemen (Personal i am excited that on paper at least they look that they are finally starting to get some size on the LOS)
IMHO Ridgeview will be fine on the Line (Better in fact) the spot they are rebuilding is at WR that is where Graduation cleaned house
I think , and I could be wrong, but they lost the center, a guard, and a tackle. I don't know who returns or who they have moving up from JV but yes they will need to rebuild the WR positions and the loss of Sexton will hurt more than folks think.
Abingdon will win M7, it's not a toss up. They're clearly the best returning team. Union and RV battle for second while Central could surprise people.
And I'm not so sure we should crown Appo yet, both Graham and Radford wi L have something to say about that. Glenvar too.
Abingdon got hit from the graduation bug also. And from what I understand the Basham kid is or did transfer to Lord Botty so Abingdon will not be as strong as last year IMO. Central will in fact surprise a lot of people
I've not went into full blown football mode yet but didn't Graham lose a lot and Ridgeview returns alot.
Graham lost QB and a few others but should be favorite in D. Ridgeview lost QB, Sexton, older Sproles kid. Entire O Line and a couple recievers . Abingdon should be favorite in the Mountain 7 I have Union and Ridgeview playing for 2nd place with Union a slight favorite due to graduation.
Not from what I heard.. I have heard David Crockett and maybe a school in FL also heard a few more may go to rival schools. Again all of this is rumors as of now and you know what they say about rumors, take what you hear and belive half of it. But never the less I wouldn't be surprised at all to see some shifting . I hope he does stay but would love to see him in that warrior red and black. Never the less Ridgeview will still be suffering from the graduation bug as they lose the qb and entire o line not to mention sexton and Sproles and recievers.

Ridgeview's schedule has been finalized. Though I don't know what dates they will be played on, this is what is known:
Opening game will be Thursday night, August 29 against J. I. Burton.
The other three non-conference opponents are Pikeville (probable loss, if they're anything like they normally are) and Shelby Valley and Honaker (probable wins).
Rumor has it that Adkins wont be back next year, again just a rumor, and a couple bigger players will be missing from the sidelines as well. If this is the case then Ridgeview will be in worse shape than they thought.
What are the chances Owens steps down as head coach at Central? And who is the best for the replacement? Would like to hear everyone’s opinion and thoughts.
Just curious how exactly the All region teams are picked?Not putting any kid down or trying to start a keyboard war but some things just don’t add up?
Ok here is how it works. And I used to be involved when they would do the selecting. Coach A and Coach B are friends, Coach A says to Coach B, Hey vote for my kids and ill vote for yours. All head coaches from region get together and each coach has a list of players they nominated. all coaches vote for who they want but cannot vote for there own kids. A lot of political involvement or whos mommy cries too much or whos daddy kisses a%$. Anyone says different then they are not speaking the truth or has never been in the room when the voting was going on. Each coach has anywhere from 2 to 5 kids they want on 1st team all other kids are just roll players. When a team has a back go for 2000 yards or so and that back is all everything but only one lineman, is 1st team then something is wrong. Makes the said linemen, receiver, QB ect: not wanna play or at least put forth max effort. Now I am a big supporter of to the victor goes the spoils and Graham got the shaft bad on all region team.
Chilhowie played PH twice. Won the first game by 23 pts, the 2nd by 43.
So, were they 23 or 43 pts better than PH?
Graham beat Union by 21, but they were better than 21. Could have been 42.
Games aren't always reflective of the score.
Just simply saying that whatever the final score was simply means that team is that many points better than the other on that day. Shouldve could've would've all day long but reality is the final score means on that particular day that team is that much better.
