generallyspeaking

Tazewell gets mopped. Wouldn’t be surprised to see Ridgeview up 35 at the half.

Probably the best matchup Lee could have got in rd 1. I feel like they have more weapons on offense than VA High. That being said Lees defense has to be able to contain their playmakers or it’ll be a long night, but they’ve certainly improved since the start of the season. I don’t think the Bearcats can stop all of Hammonds, Early, Huff and Roop. The only thing that can stop that offense in my opinion is bad play calling or player errors. Should be an absolute shootout.

14-7 Falcons start of 3rd

I’ve known some guys for a long time that played over at Unicoi a few years back. Dylan and Kody Lewis. Damn good athletes.

Mason Polier is another notable one to come from Lee. Cochran and Keith Chandler also came from Lee

The whole community of wise seems to have an air of superiority about them. They’re usually one of the worst for smack talking in any sport.

I think Ridgeview’s defense wins this game for them. They will have the advantage in the trenches with experience from last weeks game against a really good group of linemen. I’d like to think they’d come out with a little piss and vinegar behind them after their first loss of the season. Gate City is certainly game though, so I wouldn’t be shocked if they win a close one.

I’d love to see us play anyone besides Union in rd 1. Lee’s best case scenario is vs VA high or Gate City in a rematch

Lee wins 61-30. Could’ve put up 80 but the refs kept battle in it. Was 61-15 before jv came in.

If Lee gets the 6 seed and faces Va High or Gate city they could certainly win the opening round of the playoffs. Not sure who they’d play next but itd be nice to get the first playoff win in nearly a decade.

calpreps has this one 35-34 Central in a razor close game. From what I’ve heard the Generals are fired up and having fun at practice this week and want this district win badly. It’s the last home game for the seniors so I expect them to play their asses off. Lee scores early and often, let’s the Warriors hang around til late in the game and then put it way in the last few minutes. 35-24 Generals

Early has been one of the best players on the team this season. Really impressive for a freshman. Not afraid to hit or make big plays. I’m excited to see how well he does over the next few years.

The Generals got out to a quick 14-0 lead against Gate City but couldn’t get anything going once their defense settled in. I’m thinking it could be a similar outcome Friday, especially with the way Central chews clock with their offense. Time for the defense to step up and play their best game this season. I wish the DC had some more help, he’s surrounded by offense minded coaches. If they can get 1 or 2 more position coaches that solely focus on D line and linebackers they will be at the top of the district for the next few years.

Can’t agree more. Dude’s motor is full go the WHOLE game. He brings the energy to the team. Been watching him since he was in middle school and got to play with him my jr and sr year. He is straight up comedy in the locker room too lol. Give him more carries to give Huff a breather and let him rest a bit before the playoffs.

If Lee struggles to stop the power run game like they have all season then Central wins by a couple scores. It kills me how they run a 3 man front against run heavy teams and expect to stop them.

He is always in somewhere on the play on defense, dude is a magnet to the football. Lee just added on another threat to their offense when they decided to give him more carries. 32 is Andrew Holmes, he’s got great hands and has really stepped it up on the defense with a couple INTs this year. Lee has so many different guys getting touches on offense it’s hard to slow them down. Huff, Hammonds, Early, Holmes, Roop and the tall #11 Hines kid are all great weapons for Pendergraft to get the ball to.

Speaking of Cody Haynes https://www.hudl.com/profile/3320714/Cody-Haynes Here’s a good highlight tape

Very true. He’s yet to prove himself against good defenses and he would help the team out a whole lot if he hit the weights and threatened the run game. The kid is not a bad athlete I think they’re just afraid to get him injured.

He can sling it, but they don’t run many varied routes. Mostly fades down the sidelines, screens, and some slants. If they had some more complex, mid-level routes they would tear defenses apart. They don’t throw as much as they should in my opinion. Pendergraft’s stats are pretty good. Not a lot of interceptions and a high completion %. But they typically throw between 15-25 times a game when it should be closer to 30. The run game has been pretty damn effective though so I understand why they keep feeding it to Huff. #33 Connor Roop got some carries last game and good god that kid runs hard and fast.

True. Crazy to believe Gate City is even in position to do that. Good for them but I sure hope they lose Friday night at Five Star.

This is a big rivalry game with big playoff implications. These could be either the #2-3 or #3-4 teams in the M7. The Generals want to get that loss back from last season and GC got screwed out of a playoff appearance last year so i’m sure they want this one just as bad. The Blue Devils play to the level of their competition in every game it seems like, so expect this to be close. Lee has been able to put up big numbers on offense all season, but the defense is still questionable. Last week they held Burton to short gains every 2 or 3 plays then they would bust a huge play. They couldn’t contain the QB to save their life and he’s no speedster. The defense came up big when they needed to most in the 4th qtr so hopefully Coach Carrol can keep that rolling into this week.

After watching Rye Cove and Burton in back to back weeks, I think the Raiders win comfortably in that matchup. Too much speed for the Eagles to contain. They could very well win the region after a slow start to the year.

Went up to Norton elementary to work for their Heritage Day yesterday. They had a bunch of the high school kids up there helping teachers with the activities. It was good to see everyone involved in the community. I haven’t seen the Raiders play this year but I hear they have improved since the start of the season. Lee is still getting better each week, and they’ve got loaded remaining schedule after this game with Gate City, Central, Battle and Abingdon. Depending on how this game goes, we could see the Generals go on a good streak to end the season. I say Generals win 35-14.

Who did he take from TW? Can’t say I’ve heard of any exceptional athletes coming from Ewing recently

42-24 Lee ends the Coves unbeaten streak
