Galax pulls it out.
 
Giles 15
Galax 17
 
Final

No such thing as MED referees.  Now whether you had Appalachian Assoc. or Western VA Assoc. is the question.
 
 
The Giles fans I've talked to that went basically feel the same way about this game as Narrows followers feel with the game vs. Giles.   Four different trips to the red zone with 0 points to show for it will get ya beat.  
 
Here's hoping the injuries heal quick and are kept to a minimum the rest of the season.

My advice to the City of Galax...DON'T DO IT!!!
 
The turf fields wear out rather quickly considering the price tag.  Plus, there are a lot of "hidden" costs that they may not be able or willing to meet in the future like the routine maintenance/upkeep required to keep the field usable year in and year out.  Then in about 15 or so years, you'll be looking to replace the field entirely with a new rug.
 
For most communities, they can't afford it.
 
The turf at Mitchell Stadium is shot due to the amount of use (little leagues, middle school, jv and varsity high school, and Bluefield College practicing on it every day).  The City of Bluefield doesn't have the money to replace it.  It was originally funded by the Shott Foundation when it was first installed with the agreement that the City would take care of it.  Well, they haven't.  Skipped maintenance, excessive use, and an idiot with a snow plow have worn it out in what I consider to be a very short time for something so expensive.  Now, I'm hearing rumors of the City of Bluefield wanting to hike the "usage fee" charged to Bluefield High School, Graham High School, and Bluefield College by over 60% in the coming years.  I'm pretty certain neither Mercer nor Tazewell Counties are going to pay that sort of increase. 
 
Keep the grass.

I would pick Richlands over the Cavaliers at this point.

Go VHS...would be a big road win to start season!

Narrows gets a goal line stand then gets a delay of game followed by a 12 man in the huddle penalty.   At least its not on Saturdays anymore.

I don't recall who it was but someone used this game plan against Galax a few years ago.  Went for every 4th down, regardless of field position or distance as well as every kickoff being of the "on-sides" variety.  Galax set a school record for scoring and, if memory serves, knelt the 4th quarter away.
 
This occurred shortly after the ESPN story about the coach in Arkansas who has employed this concept with great success.  
 
My take-a-way was/is, as with any system, personnel matters!

Wasn't too long ago they did a home and home with Greeneville, TN.   Pretty much the same distance from Bluefield as Belfry.  

VAPreps???  Did you have to go there???
 

I take all local stats with a not small block of salt, but assuming that 3505 yards and 53 TDs is accurate...
 
It takes 54 TDs in a single season to crack the VHSL record book.  There's a 4-way tie for 9th with 54 TDs in one season (among 7 players...Vic Hall and Craphole McTraitorface* appear twice each.  He's almost 500 yards away from qualifying for the single-season VHSL Top 10 in terms of total yards.
 
*That's the "Ron Mexico" alias of one Ronald Curry, who committed to UVA early, which caused UVA to shift its attention away from recruiting starting QB Aaron Brooks's cousin, some guy named Michael Vick.  Curry kindly switched his commitment to UNC on signing day (UNC was going to let him play basketball, too), which led to UVA starting the very forgettable Dan Ellis for the years when Curry or Vick should have been slinging the rock.  This led to consecutive 6-5 seasons, which burned out George Welsh and caused him to retire.  Pretty much, that douche-nozzle was the singular stone in the stream that altered the history of Virginia and Virginia Tech football, which were literally within 1 game of identical records in the rivalry to that point.  Hell yes, I'm bitter.

Galax probably doesn't even make the playoffs without that OL and for none of them to even get an honorable mention is ludicrous. 

These teams are always subjective. Its hard to take them seriously. Its an absolute joke that Daniel Edwards and Daniel Harrison were left out completely. Both anchored the best offensive line I have ever seen.

Ruffin McNeil a very nice get to help Biscuit get the tent set up on the in state and east coast recruiting.   Good day for the Hoos it seems.
