Figured he would better football offers than that...Harvard is a great school but not football wise.
Great athlete but has a major attitude problem
Yes on attitude issue. Got to get fixed. Camped at Clemson, had great camp. Hes a tweener like top 25 FCS schools or maybe a shot at a small FBS- non BCS conference type kid.
James River beats King William in 8 innings winning it 2 to 1. JR will play Tazewell in Softball state title game. In Baseball, Poquoson beats Alleghany 5-4 and will play Patrick County in the state championship as Patrick County beat Buckingham 10-3 in the other state semi's game.
That's right. Theyll be small but not as small, like 220ish across line. As u know Sara's brother coaches at Bruton and says Poquoson will roll through that region this year. They play speed all year long and a team like KW isn't different to what Poquoson sees in regular season. Central's-woodstock size wore em down in the 2nd half of the semi's but the Islanders will bring more size this year. KW is suppose to be good again and returns a fair amount but Poquoson returns pretty much the whole team. Who is gonna be good and a threat to beat KW or Poquoson was Thomas Jefferson-Richmond. They return most starters but move up to 3A this year. The game with Poquson and Thomas Jefferson in the region A semi's was closer than the game Poquson had with King W in the region finals.
Fairlawn, isn't your wife from Poquoson, King William, Nottoway, somewhere down East? KW's schedule is actually a bit brutal for a Class 2 school. First, the scrimmage games don't count, but they are starting off by not scrimmaging cupcakes by any means. Then in regular season, Draft, Clarke County, Strasburg, Woodstock, West Point and King and Queen. That's actually a very difficult schedule for a Class 2 school.
Blackstone-Nottoway but went last sophomore of HS at Tabb and last 2 yrs at Poquoson. KW has a tough schedule They scrimmaged the Bull Islanders last year and Poquoson got the best of em in that and they played again in region title game. Good chance it happens again this year but Poquoson probably be the favorite to win that region again.
Radford is looking good in C. We are 2-0 against James River and Floyd County. We beat James River on the road and Floyd at home. Floyd is pretty good. We get James River later on back at our place, but have to go to Floyd and it will be tough
I think this game will come down to big plays by Graham. i suspect some or most feel the LOS will be where it's won because both teams are very powerful and strong up front. This leads me to believe it's kind of a wash up front and there will be lots of time eatin up on the clock. Big plays is actually where its one in my opinion, not the line of scrimmage. I think it's a Graham where Graham doesn't drive as methodically or easily on the ground as most of their games, but Graham will have huge big plays.
Watch for Graham to hit some home runs in the passing game. Only my opinion. I think Graham has lots of punts and quick hitting touchdowns with fewer 60 yds drives where they get 5 or 6 first downs before scoring. I think Graham capitalizes and makes more of these big plays than Central.
You are correct. I give the man his due. Beat us pretty good to boot. Hopefully one day we get a chance to play again.
I was hoping Graham could play them again so Graham could smack em and get some revenge. Graham would have taken them this year. History will not have an asterisk, but I like Graham's chances last year if both linebackers/QB healthy. I still think it would be a different game.
So no arguing here, I’m a Graham fan but didn’t play here. I will put up Salem numbers against anybody in 2A though. as for head to head, Palmer lead 2-1.
Palmer is up 2-1 over Smith with 2 great wins by the GMen. Palmer does lead by 1 win similar to the way Scott Moore from King William leads Palmer by 1 win.
Your a Radford fan , right? At least that's what VA Preps say. How many do they have? You have 2 P5 also.
I am a Radford fan and former player, and I'm not arguing that Radfords Coach is as good as Palmer. I will certainly argue Appomattox's coach is as good as Palmer, and if we continue, my numbers to argue will beat your numbers for at least the next 4 years, and if everything goes your way, they will then be the same.
So alot has been said about Coach Smith beating his team with your players. Well , he had 2 Power 5 commits and an FBS commit today and got sparked. Guess that logic doesn’t apply to Coach Palmer , who has an impeccable record.
Smith has 5 state titles in 8 years. 5 titles and 1 title (or 2 if Graham wins) aren't the same.
Graham fans. Did Clements go for over 2800 today on the year and how many games did he miss this year? I thought I read in Bristol paper where he had around 2550 coming into today and if he had near 250 today, he's close to 2800 on the season. With a big game in the state title contest, he has a chance to go over 3,000 for a season. Has any Graham player ever done that? Has he already broken the Graham single season rushing record?
He’s actually very knowledgeable and keeps us updated on what’s going on, not just in SWVA which is very helpful as the post season continues. His coverage of Region A and Region B teams helped me a lot in doing my bracket challenge. It’s understandable to make a mistake every now and then.
I was unlucky enough to be raised next door to this single wing loving bum! He knows absolutely nothing about football. Never even played it!
💯 % agree! Any idea what happened with Baylor tonight? Couldn’t figure out why he was on the sideline?
Behavior issues. Through one of his temper tandrems and got into it with an assistant coach. just a shitstorm mess man. To have that kind of talent squandered. Baylor and the QB have real issues. Prioleau is different though. He's an A-B student, well behaved, good leader and just an all around great kid, but problem with Clark the QB and Baylor.
His dad couldn't be proud of his actions Dave was a classy coach and a good and decent man. It's really hard for me to watch this with his son. It's actually a bit surprising how he has turned out, but I will disagree with the board a little bit. I'm not certain he should be fired yet. I would base it on his actions before this event that the Radford insiders would know. Has he been a good leader? Off field issues in the mix? Etc. If that's the case, then he would be gone, but at the same time, every human on this earth has a bad day. I know I have. Call me soft or liberal or whatever, but I'm all about second chances, but the keyword is SECOND. If this stuff has been going on on the practice field, etc, that's a whole other ballgame if it's a pattern. But if it's not a pattern, well, everybody can have a bad day and like Denzel Washington (who is one wise and smart man) said, "the Devil loves to come for you at your highest moment."
IF it's not a pattern and it's a one time thing for him, what if he gets called in and gets hammered and warned, but not fired, and then makes a change and turns his behavior around? These things DO happen, but they aren't as popular. We don't hear about them as much. We only here of, or mostly hear of the bad outcomes.
I'm all about second chances to but this is a pattern. He's been warned before and there has already been a set down. He needs to go. What happened out there tonight had the most diehard Raddy fans like myself feeling dirty. Just felt dirty. He needs replaced. He ain't a good coach anyway even when taking away his bahavior stuff.
