Acting like you all have never done any recruiting… 😂

I’ve never understood all that school transfer stuff. How can kids not be loyal to the school they grew up in? That’s hard for me to comprehend. We don’t have very much of that in this part of the region in football, anyways. Sometimes in basketball, but its mostly the parents, not the kids. And how many of these transfers go D1 anyway? Seems like a lot of unnecessary drama to me but I may be missing something. And as far as Burton, they should be happy with what they did this year, especially with all that off field stuff at the beginning of the season. Their coaching came along way from game 2 to the playoffs and so did their team. I’d be proud to have my kid on that team.

Great and exciting game. Next week will be a toss up as it can go either way. Will have to pull for PH though.

Cause we’d have to send our special extra long mud cleats back. Hope they have a no hassle return policy.

Best I can tell Chilhowie’s overall record against Burton is 7-1. So they’re definetly looking for revenge. I’ll give you the fact that Burton was distracted early on in the season due to off field issues. Albeit, their schedule like most in region D this year was weak due to the whole region being down. So we will find out Saturday who the best team is, it’ll be a wet game, maybe it’ll get moved to Wise central or UVA Wise. Or leave it in the mud. We like playing in the mud, we just need to order those special cleats.

This should be an exciting rematch. If Chilhowie plays this game like they have the 6 last quarters, then they should come out on top. Hopefully, we’ve fixed the blocked punt issue we had last time at Burton.

From what I can tell on VHSL Reference this looks like the first time these two teams have ever played each other in football? Its always exciting to play a new team. Thoughts on this game? We welcome Thomas Walker and their fans to Warrior Stadium. You'll appreciate the visitor's stands they are really nice.

I’ll answer myself. 93.5 WAXM online.

Does anyone know if this game will be aired on the radio? Thanks

I’ve got PH, Burton and Chilhowie should be how top 3 finishes.

It’s game day! Going to be a cold night, 40 degrees at kickoff. This will be exciting! Praying for an injury free game for both sides. Better wear your longjohns and bring somebody to snuggle with.

Is this what you’re looking http://www.calpreps.com/cgi-bin/2019/weekview.pl?week=Virginia_11

This is going to be the most watched game of the year in 1C and 1D. All eyes will descend upon Glade Spring, VA Friday night. Its going to be an exciting atmosphere at the Rebels (8-0) stadium as the Warriors (7-1) travel there Friday night for an out all brawl. This game will be a deciding factor for many things. The Hogoheegee district title, securing home field advantage for playoffs (You all know how we feel about home field advantage LOL) and overall bragging rights for the elders to talk about at McDonands and the truck stop for weeks to come, maybe even years. As for the game, Chilhowie has an injured running back (Williams) with an unknown future for this game. Not sure about Patrick Henry's injuries, there has to be some rebel fans on here that can update us to that. Chilhowie will have to attack this from the air and the ground which hopefully reeks havoc on Patrick Henry's defense and opens up some holes. I foresee Chilhowie having to utilize it field goal weapon in this game. Prediction 35-28 either way.

Optimal62, that’s hard to say. PH has had a fairly easy schedule this year, not their fault, most everyone is down in 1D and some 2Ds this year. So they haven’t been tested. Chilhowie has talent and the experience but getting it to mesh For 4 quarters seems to be a struggle this year. If both teams are healthy and Chilhowie plays ball like we know they’re capable of it will be a nail biter. Otherwise it will be PH by 3 scores. It’ll be, PH, Chilhowie or Burton going to Galax this year.

Haven’t heard a lot about Grundy this year. Last year they had a really good running back but I’m thinking he has graduated. Chilhowie still hasn’t clicked yet or maybe it’s just my high expectations.

Galax 35-14.

This is always an interesting matchup. I’m figuring it can go either way. The Bearcats seem to be off to a rough start. The Warriors can’t seem to get their first half game together just yet. 21-14 Warriors.

Chilhowie is coming off their first regular season loss in 16 games. Was that loss a blessing in disguise to take some of the pressure off? What do we know about Eastside? Are they a passing offense again this year? Looking forward to hosting the Spartans and their fans Friday night.

He does get hot when he knows he’s right. He does cost the team some yardage, I wish one of the other coaches would pull him off the field. However, he was right last night and at Burton. It’s sad when coaches know the rules better than the white hats. But in their defense they’re human and with the way fans act, who would really want to be an official. Shout out to all officials for doing this every week, we know you don’t do it for the money and we appreciate what you do!

Thank You! The band works really hard and have really good leadership. “What’s the football team doing on the band field”?

Both. Their defense is quick and powerful.

What a game that was! Exciting right down to the very end. Both teams played exceptionally well and seemed to be about equally matched. The wind wreaked havoc for both sides and made for some interesting punts and passes. Good atmosphere. Only issue is the PA announcer needs to realize his role and not be a cheerleader for his team. Violates VHSL ethics and NASPAA code of conduct. Maybe they don’t know any better in region C?? Fort Chiswell did the same thing in a playoff game a few years ago. But great job Green Wave, take care of Galax in the playoffs please.

I've yet to understand Topper24's dislike for Chilhowie???? You always seem to be negative at the comments anyone posts about Chilhowie. You're still bringing up last years state semi final game, really? Chilhowie, not the VHSL, earned the right to have that game anywhere they chose, by having more power points than Galax. I know it easy to get wrapped up in a conversation and I've been guilty of it myself. However, build them up, don't tear them down. This goes for all teams in Southwest Virginia. These kids, thats right, kids, they all go out there on Friday nights and give their all, not only for themselves and their teams, but their communities as well.

The outcome of this game will depend on the Narrows defense. Can they defend a pass? Can they guard the outside all the while watching for the QB keeper? Chilhowie’s offense can do all three. Chilhowie’s defense really stepped up this past week as well. And let’s not forget about the 44 yard FG against Burton, so look for some strategy changes on 4th downs. Now, if Narrows forces several punts, well that’s another story. 28-21 Narrows

Chilhowie will need to be a little more disciplined this week to get the win. I think you will see a lot more passing plays this year than last as Chilhowie’s QB can definitely throw the ball. However, the offensive line will need to step it up to give the QB a little more time to execute. Look out for some running plays with the sophmore backs. If 25 gets free he will be gone. I think it will be close but high scoring until the defense works out their growing pains. 39-31 Burton.
