Still over a hundred and four YPC, but about 150 short of his season average and likely 6-7 less YPC. Union did a great job of not allowing the home run play after the first run of the game. I'm shocked he didnt get 30+ carries, he was always just one move or broke tackle away from going to the house. As someone else mentioned, Ridgeview didn't go to the I -formation until late but when they did, he always got positive yardage. Getting that head of steam seemed to help him, a lot of the spread looks saw Union string out the runs very well and not allow any cutback lanes.

WR of Ridgeview is a freak.  Reminds me of Scotty Ball from Richlands.   That was a cool game to watch online.  Both teams looked very good.  Polier can play D1 linebacker in my opinion.  I mean, major D1.  He's a beast.  

Yes C J Jones,he will be needed on both sides of the ball and he will have to contain his emotions

After 5 games 1470 yds +or- a few and 23 tds.  If Bristol herald courier stats are correct, he was at 1242yds coming into last night and added 231 to that.

Atkins ran for 119 yds on 24 carries last year against Union. That's pretty good for a sophomore. It ain't 300 yds, but I don't know if it's exactly being held in check either.
Yes its true, during his 9th grade year at the age of 13 and 14, Union held him in check. LOL. Well done, you showed him. 

At that point in his freshman season he was splitting time at rb with sproles he did have a few highlights that game (trucking Mitchell on a run stands out in my mind) of course if union sells out to stop adkins then rv then rv would be silly not to take advantage of it

The slow down big guy statement is probably more applicable to yourself. I never wrote that you trashed him, or bad mouthed him, nor took your post out of context. Don't be so sensitive.
You did write that you "held him in check." For a sophomore with 119 yds, that ain't checked. You can't "take 50 away late in the game." That counts. P.S. When you make a statement that someone was held in check, an initial response most of the United States would venture at seeing what in check means.....as in stats. He ran for 119 yds on 24 carries and that's a bunch for a sophomore. He didn't run for 200 because Sexton had another approximate 90 yds. Otherwise.......lol

To the folks who are acting like Trenton played the whole game tonight vs. Lee, you are incorrect.  He had two carries in the first quarter and was out with cramping till midway through the second.  At halftime he only had five carries and I believe he finished with only 10.

2 carries 109 yds 1 td so far tonight 

The clip of the Montana Tech coach reminded me of every Graham Clark (D-B Indians) interview I ever saw.

Vikings... BIG.  Maybe not as much as what Pulaski County beat them by but pretty close.

#23. He's big, strong and decently fast for his size. As a team, they don't look as good as last year. GC ran all over them and Richlands ran for 244 yards. That's a lot for a team that passes 80% of the time. I don't think Tn High will have much of a problem with them.

Yes I just watched hudl and I thought as a team RV looked very good. Several people stepped up and played well. Sproles and Hill looked good on D along with Adkins and the rest of the PACK.  Offense looked very good and balanced. Hill is still a tackling machine and I thought he looked very good at receiver. Phillips played very well. Union and RV will be one for the ages  

I don't doubt that one bit.  I've never been a fan of the former coaches.  I feel like this bunch may be somewhat of an upgrade.

A little unfair with Ridgeview and stating something to the effect that he's all they got. Why is he running for 300+ per game and no other back in recent memory not running for 300+. I get it. He's incredible and the schedule so far shaky, but the 5 up front from tackle to tackle have to be good because opponents know he's getting the ball. I haven't seen Ridgeview, but I suspect their pretty good. As for Adkins, he plays for Ridgeview and no other team. I would often hear this argument with Michael Vick and M.Jordan and many others and the argument was, "if you take away him, it ain't the same team," or "he's all they got." The fact is, Vick played and was a part of VT, as was Jordan the Bulls, and at the High School level locally, Adkins plays for Ridgeview High. You don't get an extra 7 points or 10 points as an opponent of Ridgeview based on some rule that one player can't be to big a part of the team, or magically only a few of the TDs Ridgeview scores will count, because "if Adkins didn't play for them, "they wouldn't be the same team." It doesn't work that way. 

Explain why? Sir Football God. Is It Because Trenton Adkins is all Ridgeview has. Cause. #16 can't catch a cold. Or because Ridgeview can't stop the pass. There not a complete dominate team. I'm sorry. Them other boys just ain't that good.

Hell the same. Out coached 

Yes he is going to be a good one I believe. Kid seems like he has a nose to the football on D. like to see how he is on offense more.   

I remember that!  
 
I also wouldn’t put it past Freddy Simon to do something like that.  He’s proven he’ll RUTS when it suits him.  He “avenged” the 57-21 loss to Wyoming East in 1999 by hanging 86 on them in 2002 (he had no problem putting up 69 on Wayne in the 2004 AA championship game, in a delicious twist).  He also called in orders in 2014 for Bluefield to score a meaningless touchdown on the last play of the game in the Graham-Beaver game (76 points, all-time worst for Graham) because Graham wouldn’t lay down and die.
 
All I’m saying is: give him a once-in-a-generation running back and a patsy on the schedule, and there’s about a 20% chance he’d do it.

Total games matters here. Davis and Heritage played 15 games (thanks largely to Davis) and back in the day, the most games a kid like Jones and P. Valley could play were 14. That 15th game matters as the playoffs have expanded. For Atkins and Ridgeview, Graham could be a possible (possible) difference in Atkins playing only 12 or 13 games versus getting to the state semis for game 14 and so on. If Atkins keeps putting up 300+ per game, he would likely already have the record through 12. I doubt he does it, but if the dude busts for 300 yds this week against what is likely a Ridgeview team that will have far fewer possessions than the first three games, then ya never know. 

#13 for RV is gonna be a STUD!!! Kid is just a Freshman with Great Size and Athletic ability. He is also there back up QB and I think plays some WR as well on Offense

Someone will break it at some point.  Probably a great team in single A with a D1 back playing cupcakes.  I mean if Adkins was going against someone like Jenkins he could probably get 1000 yards and 15 TDS in a 4 QT. game.

Yep, that's a.lot of yards and a lot of touchdowns. Video game like.

Long ways away for Ridgeview and Graham. If both of them make it far enough to play each other, Graham has the speed in the secondary to play one one one with a safety over the top and walk a DB into the box at the snap giving them 8 in the box to stop the run. That's not a favorable matchup. To beat the GMen, spreading them out and having great athletes and speed at WR like Bluefield has is the way to go. But if your WRs don't have great speed and length, Graham will easily be able to play one on one in the secondary and stacking the box.
I don't know about Ridgeviews sets on run plays, but it may be advantageous against a team like Graham to run the big boy from a 3 or 4 wide set which would take some of those players on opposing Ds outside of the box.
