For me it is reservations more than pessimism.
RV is replacing ALOT of skill players several who were 3 year starters. 
RV will be replacing there QB and that is always an unknown. 
The Bright point on there team (Outside a Adkins) is there line which is bigger stronger and deeper (Overall) than any RV team up to this point.
For me until I see how the New QB and skill players work out I will temper my enthusiasm.

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. 

0%

that's true but Thacker was the better QB and it wasn't really close. 

Well when you play down all year in Mnt 7 this is what to expect

Unfourntunatly Luke aint going anywhere

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.

Really hoping Central is looking

i looked at 1a region and was amazed burton qb didnt even make 2nd team. his team beat the qb who was 1st team and had 5 total tds against them. his team also beat the 2nd team qb in the region playoffs. his wide recievers made 1st and 2nd team but none of the recivers from 1st and 2nd team qbs made it. its a buddy system ans every body dislikes jimbo i get that but thats not fair to the kids at all.

Though the outcome was undesirable, let’s congratulate the Chilhowie Warriors on a highly successful season and another trip to Salem!

Act like you’ve been there before....

Chilhowies coaches trying to fight the refs.... smh

I will admit that I didn't watch Pollier enough to compare them and I don't think you watched either of them enough to compare them.  I also don't like comparing high school kids.  I did however watch Sproles a lot, and even with his awards he is undervalued.  He is really really good.

God Rest his soul but the Nature Boy Buddy Landel, Chilhowie's most famous former resident, would say, "Brother let them move it wherever they want to wont matter the outcome anyway.

Look I understand your and their concerns and disappointment.  Although the post I have seen in social media this morning about calling Galax a bunch #$$##0because they didn't want to play in the mud and they are the reason it got moved is petty and simply not the case. That's not how the VHSL works, three games got moved. I think the surrounding areas would be more simpathetic to the communities complaints if all that was not being spewed all over social media. Galax had no say in it, the school admins no this to be true yet they continue to let their community think this is the case. Look Galax beat us twice this year and I am all for Chilhowie getting the win, although people saying what they are social media is just making Chilhowie look bad. To be honest it is placing an ugly blemish on what is a stellar moment  for your community. I completely get the financial impact to the community, I heard Galax had went out and spent a couple of thousand dollars on new cleats for their players just for this game. 
 I am sure their is people on here from Chilhowies administration reading this, so step up and ensure the misplaced anger at the fans of Galax is placed where it should be on the VHSL.  
 Sorry rant over and good luck. 

Give honors to 40 kids?   Is this what you are saying?  If it is, then I hope that there are plenty of trophy makers out there, since everyone should get one.  Life is about making contributions and working behind the scenes from time to time.  You may not always get the credit your deserve, but can you honestly say you gave everything you had.  Players are going to get overlooked and it happens.  There are many times that these things are nothing more than a popularity contests for the coaches.  Players should work hard to EARN those accolades. 
They already have two first team QBs?  That is a joke in itself.  Coaches call each other and say vote for my kid and I'll vote for your kid blah, blah, blah.  Did the kids tie and nobody wanted to break the tie in the meeting?  Stats and wins should account for the people that make it to first team.  Standouts should make the team as well, when a super talented kid may not play on a winning team.  Coaches know who those kids are when they watch film and  play each other. 

He is good though and to the victor goes the spoils and comparing then it would be a toss up for POY between him and Polier.  Why not give it to both of them Hell they don't care to give two awards to everyone else

Burton dropped Union and picked up Ridgeview 1st game of season

Nah Mullins aint going anywhere I talked to him last week.  We have Brickey back and some other nice targets for him to throw to.  Only concern is our line.  If Luke stays then he needs to find some linemen cause we certainly don't have any coming up. Need to find a D coordinator for sure.  We will have Reynolds and Crabtree in the backfield which will be the new two headed monster in the Mountain 7 for a few years  Abingdon will still be good next year but will be missing a lot of pieces, Just imagine if by some good fourtune, Owens resigns and Amburgy gets a chance to come home and coach.  Union will be WAY down.  Ridgeview like I said will struggle without a line I don't care if Walter Payton is in the backfield.  So realistically I see Central no worse than 3rd next year and who knows maybe Mountain 7 champs year after depending on line play.

RV rotated there line heavily last season and return most of those kids they will be just fine as far as starters go. Line Depth may be an issue next season but you just have to wait and see how things shake out

All good points, However I don't see current coaching staff changing anytime soon.  I did, however thing that after the Principal left we might would have seen a change but apparently that's not gonna happen.  Who knows maybe we can get in the mix of the possibility of getting Adkins from Ridgeview LOL.

Akers 2A no question!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Never seen a coach take a team from one extreme to the other in such a short period

Central doesn't win the mountain anytime soon.  But they can place 10-15 on the all Conference team next year.  Everybody can.
