Burrall’s Pearls

Who is kachea and why is Central playing them after playing Twin Springs and Lebanon? With their talent they need to be playing a much tougher schedule.

I agree. On paper the boys race is between two teams. This is it for Central been building for this year forever it seems.

GC boys should duke it out with Central Girls race is wide open.

Best of luck young man at Penn State. He just committed. Hopefully this won’t get deleted again - what is going on at VT? Here’s another local kid they have missed Why are they not going hard after Forest, Adkins, Lester, Allen, etc? They ditched Stout too and made no effort at McClung.

I posted this on the main board but for some reason it was deleted: what’s up with vt? Other than Mitchell they aren’t getting kids from SWVA. Stout left, didn’t get Allen, not offered Adkins, Forest was just offered by UVA. I just don’t understand?

Y’all got a damn good football team but the intelligence level is lacking. Nobody (myself included) has questioned who the best team was. Tonight the fourth best team in the M7 made it to the 2D final. The M7 has far more depth and is better as a whole than the SWD.

PV/Union has made the playoffs every year for the last 28 years. Knocking the football in BSG is laughable. As for the whole classification line, if you think anyone was beating PV in 95/97/98 in A or AA I’ll take whatever you’re smoking.

I’d say the SWD is better. The SWD in 2018 was much better than the M7. It just gets old playing the same teams. For Union to win the regional title they’d have to win 3 rematches, not a fan.

I don’t think they ran the clock right either? They basically gave Union a free timeout once on a measurement. They never started the clock back even though our kid was tackled in bounds.

The SWD 2 team just got walloped by the number 4 team in the M7.

Again I agree and the SWD has on paper the best team. The rest of the district couldn’t finish higher than fifth in the M7.

What does that have to do with this season?

Not sure how it’s crap? The M7 dominated the regular season match ups and 3 of the 4 playing next week will be M7 teams. Graham is the real deal they are the team to beat but the rest didn’t deserve to be in. This 8 team playoff is pointless, should be 4 teams.

I’ve said it all year. The only team from the SWD that deserved to be in the playoffs was Graham.

Can someone explain to me what happened at the end of the first half? GC was out of timeouts and the play clock was at zero and they didn’t back them up 5 yards on the pat? it ended up not making a difference because Union won but that shorter extra point could have been big. GC didn’t make another one all night long.

Tried to tell you they’d name the score. Only team beating Graham is themselves.

I understand why. You’ve bought into thy everyone deserves a shot/trophy mentality. When Graham beats Richlands Friday, the Blues will finish second in their district and will have lost to the 5th place team in the other 2A district in the region. That ain’t playoff caliber to me, but hey, everyone deserves to play in November. Expand the playoffs even more,...

This season pal. Richland is 1-2 against M7 Graham is 0-1 against M7 VA High is 0-3 Lebanon is 0-1 Marion is 0-2 So if 1-9 is competitive to you then you’re lost. Other years it’s been different. This year, the M7 has kicked the SWDs ass. I’m a believer of a four team playoff. In that setup the only SWD team that should get in is the league champ due to the league’s poor performance against the M7.

What does past seasons have to do with this year? This year the SWD has one win if I remember correctly and it’s over the 3A school in the M7.

Having seen both, Graham names the score. Only team in SWVA that can beat Graham is Graham. This one could get real ugly.

Could be this year also. I prefer the old 4 team playoff. Reward the regular season. The M7 has kicked the SWDs ass up one side and down another, why should they have to do it again?

Yes. I think the playoffs should be four teams.

Given the M7 dominance of the SWD, the playoffs should be RV/Central/Union and the RLands/Graham winner. Regular season is cheapened with this format.

I guess every time the team only wins 5 or 6 games, the poor attendance is a protest to the coaches? PV/Union supporters are like everyone else. I watched countless people pour out of the stands at Central last week. The coaches and players (past and present) make Bullitt Park a tough place to play not the bandwagon fans who are nowhere to be found in rough times. The Park wasn’t very crowded in 2011 when Union was 3-4 and GC came to town. Wasn’t very crowded in 2008 when JJK beat a very average PV team there either.

The PV/Appalachia/Union program and culture is great. Bullitt Park is great when the team is good, it’s average to below average when the team isn’t contending for regional titles. From 2000 on it was a tame environment at PV games even in 04 and 06 when PV won Region D. Look at last year’s playoff game against Graham, fans had given up. People that played at PV/Union know the truth. Lose and I don’t even mean lose bad I just mean win 5 or 6 games and those fans turn on you faster than some drug snitches around here.
