RV wins by 14-21.  Richlands losing a key DB will hurt.  They will have to pick their poison......if they sell out to stop Deel, RV has several very capable WRs.

Just let me know if they start the "WOOOOOOO!!!" while the opposing team's QB is at line calling the play and I'll report them to the VHSL.  😝
I actually like the Ric Flair......thought it was a good touch and I think I'd like it no matter who did it. I also like the "Eastbound and Down" that's played when they score a long TD and the howling Wolf (although they don't seem to use that as much anymore).  Actually, I think the RV technical team does a great job, one of the best in the region, with their music, sound-system, hypes tones and pyrotechnics.  If they would have just brought the stadium closer to the field, they'd have a really good game experience.

Yeah, but what about New Mexico scores hot-shot?

I miss the old setup...cross bracket. Got to see new teams, and had that feeling of pride. With each team really not knowing anything about the other. Just makes it much funner IMO 

Union has a tough bracket.  RV has to run the SWD gauntlet on their side. I’ve said it since the beginning of the year, RV was underrated.  They are just a few positions away from being a legit contender for a deep run. They are undersized at two spots on defense and a couple spots on the OL. 

Wet weather benefits GC, IMHO. 

90% of the time 

They will use both.  Last week was the beginning of the transition to the next QB. Some of it was out of necessity but I think they like the results and it gives them another dimension. 

Absolutely!!! Bad decision by GC.  Should have punted and use those two TOs.  Stop them and you get it back with 2:30 on the clock. 

RV has had more PATs and FGs blocked than I’ve ever seen a high school team have.  They need to completely revamp that squad.  You can’t let the other team take away the best kicker in Virginia. 

RV coaching staff knew there was a good chance of fog and refused to move the game to Saturday.  The Pack had the much better passing game and the fog took it away. 

First pick was a bad throw. Second one was just bad luck. Tipped at the line and fell right into a defenders hands and he’s more than athletic enough to house it. 
 
Grahams a good team. Their rematch with Union will be fun. 

You can’t throw two picks on your first two possessions against a high quality opponent. The game never had a chance to get going. 

I'm sure GC has a better line than RV, but it's not like RV is horrible on the line. It's manigable. They were able to move the ball on the ground against Union. 
For the game, I think it'll co me down to turnovers and penalties. I expect a really good game where GC may control the game for about 70% of the time. RV does have these flashes where they can go off for a quick few scores. If they can jump on GC like they did Union, I don't think they come all the way back.

Completely agree that #25 needs to touch the ball more.  The kid is deceptively fast and very shifty in space.  
As far as spot passes go, I would rather them run a little pop pass to a receiver in motion or a swing to the running back.  
On defense, the ends have to do a better job of containing the edge.  

The west coast oracle says two score and twelve.

Sounds like a good NIL opportunity! 🙂

Just points

Graham by two fortnights.
 

From watching them this year....if Honaker's QB is out....they are going to be really hurting.  His feet bought so many opportunities for WRs to get open.  Unless that have a really good back up....that will be a devastating injury.  If he did have a groin tear....it will nag him the rest of the year.  I had that the preseason of my senior year....took me until the 2nd/3rd game of the year to clear up.  
Additionally, if I was a Honaker fan, I'd buy that kid a truck load of protein powder for Christmas.  He is stick thin.

Scenario based:
IF RV #25 offensive touches >5 THEN RV wins by >14
IF RV # 25 & #13 TOTAL < 7 touches THEN RV is neutral on winning
Things you'd love to see if you are RV fan:
Reduction of spot passes Develop a damn tunnel/bubble screen Stop running on 1st down 90% of the time Develop some RB/QB draws and RB screens #25 has to be #1 WR target Its okay to target #7 on a comeback or dig and it is okay to use him on an end-around Last but not least...it is ALWAYS okay to use motion and mis-direction

Good for you kiddo…if it was during 2018 or 2022 at least the Pack got you once. 
 
Now, you don’t want me to be a ref.  I know what a fair catch is. I know what a fumble is and I would be consistent with blowing the whistle after forward progress was stopped. I surely wouldn’t be afraid to give Trav a sideline waning or two to keep his cadre off the field, but I’d do that for both sides. And I absolutely wouldn’t clam up and be afraid to throw a flag hoping to avoid pissing off the home crowd. 
Now, go back to my original post and debate those three no-calls.  Stay on topic. We’ve cluttered up this board enough with this back and forth.  If you still want to debate smash that email button and message me. 

Bears need to resist urge to get fancy. Just pound it. If you mess around and throw a pick you may get behind on scoring.
