I really like #6 for Galax....not very big but tough and plays hard. He will need 10-12 touches. Also Galax will need to get more from QB...he will need to be able to pull the ball and run 4-5 times a game to open things up? They will be very solid on defense and in the kicking game.

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

Galax will need to be super disciplined and play error free football Sat. This is not a great Essex team but they have a number of defenders who can tackle #9 and & #7 for Galax which is something Region C/D teams have struggled with. That being said I really like how Galax is playing right now and feel they are confident in what they do. #7 has been dominate the past several weeks on both sides.

Congrats to Coach Allen on job well done under difficult circumstances. Grayson was a mess offensively...... IMO very poorly coached on that side of ball. Had 12 weeks to come up with a offensive scheme with the best skill in region and relied on random big plays and special team scores.

I am still picking Grayson to represent the West based on their defense, they are very difficult to score on especially inside the 20. The impact the Def Coord of previous 2 year is big. On the offensive side they are simply poorly coached. The have multiple playmakers....1,2,3,6,10 who can score at anytime. It is certainly not for lack of coaches, they have a sideline full.

Grayson AD has absolutely nothing to do with decision one way or another.....the Super will make that call.

That is James salary before Coaching Stipends...got to be one of highest in area.

Region C is certainly way down

Grayson has not played to their ability but they are still more athletic than anyone else in the West IMOP. Their defense will carry them again and while offense will score 28

That is a commendable but a dangerous game for a Coach to post anything on FB I would think?

I still believe Grayson has a good shot at winning the Region and moving on just based on their sheer athleticism. Two areas need massive improvement the O-line play and overall discipline. Way too many penalties and alot of showboating..

The Grayson Co. AD is the schools Twitter monitor, nothing more. He got the job soon after his Dad was elected to the school board. The Superintendent alone makes every decision regarding athletics etc.

Not sure Graham or any school had their Superintendent actively involved in process?

Have they removed posting of job? If so that is a pretty short window for a system that traditionally moves really slow.

Grayson Superintendent is active in seeking transfers....those you mentioned above and several others. Graysons baseball for years siphoned off Galax and Carroll talent.
