I just joined this forum although I have not seen anything on Rivals to indicate that Chilhowie is being overlooked. Except for the Riverheads bunch, but being in the finals three years in a row and winning two of them I guess will give you alot of confidence and probably justifiably so. Although I too have seen Galax play a couple of times this year as well as watched Chilhowie against GW. CHS 90 is correct I believe they are playing to there competition this year, which is uncharacteristic of a Dixon coached team. I watched them play Radford, Glenvar and GW. And they have two personalities. They absolutly thrashed Radford and we see how Radford turned out this year. The played right with Glenvar and could of come out on top if the ball bounces a different way. Then they played l GW like a bunch of jv boys and I heard it was the same at Fort Chiswell. I watched Chilhowie and GW, Chilhowie looked good, certainly good enough to be playing in Salem at the end of the year. Although I would not count Galax out. Chilhowie has not faced a coaching staff or the talent like Galax all year. You are correct in the fact that having everybody back this year makes a difference for Chilhowie . Although so does Galax for the most part. Galax lost a 3k rusher in people's and a stud lineman in the Brown kid. That was the only big loses for Galax to graduation. . When they met last year Galax had lost Peoples to a first round injury and Brown had torn ligaments in his shoulder. So in essence Galax had everyone back that played against Chilhowie last year. The loss of people's would be huge to any team. To learn how to win without your 3k rusher is a monumental task. Chilhowie barely squeaked by a depleted Galax team last year with taking the lead for the first time of the Game at the very end. Chilhowies QB had the game of his life last year against Galax, he was phenomenal and could not miss that day. Although If people's was playing Galax would of won that game by a couple of scores. So yes Galax will be a monumental challenge for Chilhowie. I just hope it is a team out of the west hosting the trophy instead of the Red team.
