MT FAN 91

Tandem Smith is a senior. 

Grayson Super thinks he is a Sports Agent/Coach/AD rolled into one.......he will be in search of.

I’m pretty sure George Wythe only graduates 4 or 5. If they can successfully replace Smith at QB, they will be loaded for bear. 
 
Galax graduates 4 senior starters. If they can replace Ashworth and Tucker somehow, they should be in the mix again.  
 
I think Fort Chiswell is going to take a step forward too. They return a lot of size and talent. With a solid coach now, they will continue to improve. 
 
Grayson County will take a step or 3 backward unless they can find another crop of homeschool kids somewhere. 

The Galax fans after winning by two safeties and a last second field goal that boinked across the crossbar. 

Both WDBJ and WSLS have video on YouTube of the play just before halftime. Camera and angle was right on top of the play. He really wasn’t close to scoring. 

I went back and slow-mowed it. Looked like the Essex player's butt was on the ground before the ball broke the goal line to me, but the NFHS angle isn't the best.

It was on the opposite side and end of the field from me but I know this, #9 for Essex ran on the field late on the play, never got set, and no flag was thrown. 
 

Shouldn’t of never been a play anyway. The half should of ended after the prior play. 

Reading the game preview on VAPreps. Not a single mention of AJ Ashworth. I hope Essex ignores him too!!!

I'm right there with you as I'm very happy to have been wrong about this young team. Next year's team will have two huge holes to fill with trying to replace Ashworth and Tucker.

You and I were both wrong about this year's team, I did say they might surprise some people if they could get their young line straightened out but I never thought they would make this far. Shane Allen deserves a lot of props for the job he had done with this team this season.

Riverheads offense is really hard to defend  for 4 quarters, they start making small blocking adjustments and the other team seems to get frustrated and starts having kids being out of place and then they break one. People always talk about their offense but the defense is usually on point as well and rarely gets the credit it deserves. They will have their hands full trying to defend Radford but I'd say the coaches will have a good game plan and I wouldn't be surprised if they don't have another ring after Saturday.

I’m happy to be wrong. With only 4 seniors starting, it’s looking pretty good going forward. Shane deserves a lot of credit. If for no other reason than just keeping the kids pulling in the same direction after that 1-3 start to the season. He could have easily lost the team after that start. 

Pretty sure he said something similar when Fort Chiswell beat Galax 35-34 during the regular season and faced Galax in the 2nd round of the playoffs. Galax beat FC in the rematch 40-0. 

Scuttlebutt is Honaker coach stated on a podcast that he felt really good about the matchup as he didn’t think Galax should be there!   He may very well win but wow big statement about  a perennial team in the semis - Bold move Cotton let’s see how that works out for him. 

2 from what I've read

You think they’d have a better shot against Radford or Appo or Glenvar? Not sure I agree lol

Riverheads fate was to get bumped up to class 2A. Maybe Grayson should have accepted the same fate and went to class 2A instead of throwing their little temper tandoms and threatening a lawsuit. Who knows they might still be playing this week lol.

Not saying you're wrong but how many teams would just start playing  weaker schedules just to get in?  

Sorry I didn't see where it had already been posted in this thread
