Well Ridgeview spanked us twice this year and Honestly Graham hasn't really played anyone with the exception of Bluefield and Richlands though the Richlands game was under different circumstances. Lets see beat a 2-8 Tazwell team, 5-6 Giles team, beat us 44-10, A 1-9 Princeton team, 2-8 Lebanon, 5-6 VA High team, Then Richlands quality win, 5-6 Ft Chiswell, 4-6 Marion 35/60 record so NO YOU ALL HAVENT REALLY PLAYED ANYONE not to down any program listed but just trying to show everyone that they haven't played a strong schedule as Guest Graham WVU would have everyone think

This is what I have been saying,,,,Abingdon playing in a AA district helps them none when it comes to playing teams in playoffs within the AAA ranks but everyone was so quick to defend them being in the Mountain 7.

Soooooo Let me get this right, Akers is out at Gate City???

If we are doing 1A and 2A then I would have to vote Robinson 1A and Mullins 2A

Bluefield Pulaski Ridgeview Graham Abingdon Chilhowie Union Patrick Henry Radford Burton

That's what I was saying, If we got hit and didn't fight back then we wouldn't wanna go home cause we knew what was coming. Yes the game has changed so much. I hardly hear pads pop anymore. I played in the mid 60's

I cant speak on that as a whole with Ridgeview because I am not around like I am at Central. But it does seem that the game has changes so much since I played LOL. Back in the day we policed ourselves to make sure a lot of whats going on didn't happen.. Or if it did we wouldn't wanna go home to face Mom or Dad because we wouldn't be able to sit for a week from the whippings.

Sometimes a misfourtune can turn into a blessing. Mullins is going to be a special QB not taking anything away from McAmmis as he is a great athelete and even better person. We have some great skill people and its great to get them in game and not rely on one or 2 kids.

Havok said Adkins not Sproles but I do agree that you must stay within the rules and YES THAT DOES INCLUDE SPROLES.

Again, I said I don't have an issue with the holdbacks. I think in certain situations it is a great thing for a kid to hold back due to maturity ect: I don't however agree with holding a meeting with 8th grade parents and trying to convince them to hold back the whole lot of them as the majority it is not a good thing. If a kid is ok with grades and maturity then no reason to hold them back. After all as coaches they should be teaching young men to become productive adults and look out for the best interest for the kids. Obviously we will just have to agree to disagree and again I have no ill will toward you or anyone on this board. Just stating my oppinions like everyone else is.

And the player I am speaking of from Central has the same history. Yes I am from Wise and have a grandchild playing at Central. I have no issue at all with you or anyone on this board. Just saying tell the whole story.

Not irrelevant because Jonah58 brought Sproles in the Central game into the convo which opened up a whole different story. All I was saying is he is trying to make a certain player look like he is the ONLY one guilty when in fact every team has the same issue.

Come on guys, Lets not pretend anymore about Central. These dang freshmen by all accounts should be sophomores. 4 or 5 are holdbacks. Now I have nothing against holdbacks and I am from Wise, but that Great 7th and 8th grade team they had were really 9th graders playing down. The biggest problem I see right now with Central is not the skill position but rather the line play on both sides of the ball. I don't see any linemen in the future. The Mnt 7 is a tough place to play without good linemen week in and week out

If I remember correctly that game also featured a Central player who tried to spear (head to head) Adkins after he was tackled but missed and looked stupid. He got called for it. So don't speak only half truth and leave stuff out.

Battles front line is not that bad but I don't think they can match up 48 min with Union. But you can still only play 11 on 11 so anything can happen.

A very winnable game but will be difficult. Fiser is a good back.

And AGAIN read the whole thing. Both teams only ran about 3 plays. No way to know in a benefit game. And im NOT a Ridgeview guy. Just too much difference between strength of schedule of my top 6 compared to Chilhowie

But I do agree that Chilhowie is VERY VERY good and truly hope they bring home state championship. Abingdon is very well coached and very strong and i believere return alot next year and should be very good. I wish we has Amburgey back home lol

Its overall records im going by. And Chilhowie/ridgeview wasnt basically even as 2nd strings were in basically whole 2nd half and both teams only ran like 3 plays. Again this is my opinion and you have yours. Doesn't mean im right or your right.

Read my edit and you can see why

Bluefield- best 1 loss team in area Graham 2nd best 1 loss team Ridgeview 8-1 Pulaski- beat Abingdon Abingdon 7-2 Union- got beat by abingdon and ridgeview Chilhowie- IMO couldnt beat top 6 Galax Radford Ji burton
