Accurate assessment.....Grayson has best run of skill kids in a long time but have no run game to speak of. The rely on big plays in pass game and have been really good in kick return game. The Superintendent is pouring a ton of resources into this group.
I stand corrected on 2 points....Vaught is the best player in Region C and the Galax Coaching Staff did a great job verse a very good Grayson D. First time in a long time Grayson had more skill than Galax but Grayson line play was astrocious. Grayson has zero run threat at all between the tackles.
Galax by 10.......Gillispie is probably best player in Region C and Doss as Def Coord with his college experience is perhaps the best defensive coach in area. Coached at Ferrum and E/H as DC. Just an opinion.
Addition of the Doss guy from E/H and Ferrum has been big help for James. Also has guy who was helping with Weightraining with James and Dixon running weight program. James has a very sweet deal.
Very very impressed with Galax…..as for Glenvar they are massive…. a little too much emphasis on pass game in my opinion. I still think of Glenvar as a Pistol power run team. I know they throw ball very well but not sure that is their identity. Also feel Glenvar staff a little out coached on this particular night. Surprised at how young Galax is. Obviously several outstanding Seniors but a nice mix of younger kids too. Both teams will of course do well.
No one anticipated the 2019 team to be as good as they were…… Denver Brown and the Johnson kid at receiver were their 2 best weapons by far and there transfer in was HUGE.
In relation to Galax 2017 they had an excellent team…. If Peoples had not got hurt in 1st Round PO they would have definitely be in state game verse RH once again. The Glenvar team they lost to only lost twice …. to a strong Giles team and Appomattox in Regional Final.
Regardless of outcome of first 5 games Galax will make a deep run. Their defense led by the Vaught kid will be tremendous. They are well coached and the school and community have bought into the process established for a decade now.

It's all good man. No offense to Liberty, but huge difference in them and LCA, and big difference in LCA and 95% plus percent of every other Class 2 and 3 teams, so me calling them LCA needed a correction. I had no idea until you pointed it out.
Appomattox is fast, but one concern on them. They are not terribly big. Average size to very slightly undersized on the LOS, but great technique. The QB for Appo is going to be a High School Superstar. Smooth and cool as the other side of the pillow.
S Allen did a very good job at Tazewell ....he had them on way up. He just go squeezed out by local politics. He also was an excellent ass't at Carroll for years.
It should be a little easier with Casto completely retiring and not being in building. I feel they have an internal candidate who I assumed they have been quietly prepping and you will see minimal changes in process......results on other hand may be different. His DC leaving will be huge also.....he is in total charge of defense
During Grayson Co win over Giles last night the Superintendent was ejected for berating the officials. Principal had to come over and ask him to leave per officials request. Super sits at scorers table next to Head Coach. Super walked out of gym and repeatedly poked head in to check out game.
