Counts

Unless Lee tackles better Adkins should run wild that being said RV really needs to work on there passing game. And rif they can get a lead they should work on it as much as possible

Watch a little of the Lee Union Game how young is Lee they look to have good size and did not look slow but had a lot of fundamentals issues they are a team that could look alot better in a few weeks if they can get there feet under them

All in all Everyone including the QB knows 5 for 18 is not going to cut it going forward but New Offence plus no preseason plus 30 degree temp may have amplified the problem. I feel the QB is capable and as tough as it is in this compressed season he (and the team) need a few weeks to get comfortable in the Offence and feel comfortable making the throws that need to be made.

Could be it I know they graduated several good ones still surprising to me given there history and what looks like really low numbers this season

Honestly that score really shocked me What the heck happened is GC really down that much or is JB ALOT better than expected?

I am saying both. Coaches with the same system and the same players should be ahead of teams trying to break in new starters with no preseason. However those Coaches should also be easier to game plan for New Coaches like Richlands will be as a disadvantage personnel wise but will see more vanilla Defenses due to no film

I think that at this point the defenses should have a big advantage this week as Offences take more time to gel For this week I think teams that return most of there starters from last season and run the same system may have it tougher than schools Like Richlands with a new coach bringing in a new system

Seems like the game that should have the most juice this week with Richlands vs Graham being a non-District tilt Central is returning 11 on a D that held Adkins and Ridgeview to 7 points at home in there last meeting given the weather I am looking for it to be a low scoring game. with the winner having a big leg up in the playoff hunt

They are a big 1A team in the past they they have been a Power running team with a tough D think they are in a wing T or straight T for the most part Not sure about D year in and year out one of the top teams in A

Help us out what will we be surprised by as far as I know very few people know anything about anyone this year other that returning players and honistly alot can change in 15 months for a teenager

Week 1 schedule: Monday: Central @ Ridgeview - Big game in the Mountain 7 Central is coming into this season as the favorite to win the M7 and there ball control Offence seems Taylor made for the Snow and sleet that has been our weather for all of February so far Central returns al skill positions and will need to fill a few spots on the LOS, RV is breaking in a new coach that IMHO is a tough task in any situation but in a season with no preseason to get a fill for anything before playing a team like Central is a big undertaking however with Adkins and Philips returning in the backfield and what looks to be a BIG OL we may see 22 players within 6 yards of the ball in a battle of field possion John Battle @ Gate City - Gate City made BIG strides back toward being one of the Top Football programs in SWVA and it will be interesting to see if they can make another one this season and make a run at the playoffs John Battle is a good tune-up match for the Bluedeviles to get off on a winning note Lee @ Union - No Idea what Lee brings to the table but I seem to think that they were young going into last season, Union lost alot but had good young talent last season and are a team that knows how to win I think Union is the favorite however with basketball going into game week Lee may have the upper hand in a week 1 matchup Northwood @ Grundy - Northwood breaking in a new coach and Grundy looking to remain the to team in the BDD and one of the better in SWVA 1A Honaker @ Castlewood - It is starting to seem like a long time ago that Honaker was a top SWVA team. That being said Hubbard's style of play relying heavy on the power running game will be great for early season weather Hurley @ Rye Cove - No Idea Twin Valley @ Twin Springs - No Idea J.I. Burton @ Chilhowie - This has been a great matchup the last few years however Burton seems to be moveing back into the spot they held 10-12 years ago when they were at the top of Signal A Saturday: Gate City @ Abingdon - Tough game for GC on a short week I think Abingdon will have an advantage because of this Graham @ Richlands (Non-district matchup) - the 2 Top SVD teams get a feel for each other in week one in a game for the title (Sorry Tazewell) later in the season Tazewell @ Riverheads - Riverhead is tough to handle year in and year out knowing nothing of there team this season I have to give them the advantage at home Lebanon @ Honaker - If Lebanon can turn there program around they need a win over Honaker playing on a short week Chilhowie @ Marion - Again Marion needs this week 1 win over a short week Chilhowie Grundy @ Virginia - VHS will get a tough game out of Grundy but catching Grundy on a short week may turn it in there favor Hurley @ Eastside - No Idea Thomas Walker @ Twin Valley - No Idea Patrick Henry @ Holston - No Idea

Shelby Valley was a great team to play for power points a AA team that was 9-1 and 8-2 the last two years RV played them there is no doubt that Richlands will be a better team year in and year out but SV will consistently get you more Power points for a win Pikeville and Bluefield are a wash Bluefield is AA and one is about as good as the other (If Pikeville keeps fielding teams like 2019 I think replacing Honaker with Grundy is a good move as I think Grundy will win the BDD and end up with 7 wins Keeping Burton is they are the class of the Cumberland and depending on there out of conference schedule will be good for a ton of points

Not sure of the dates but Ridgeview's Out of district schedule for the next 2 falls are Bluefield, Richlands, J.I. Burton, and Grundy as well as a benefit game vs Graham

Graham cant keep Union in a 6 game season as all of Unions games would be District games unless Districts are dissolved for next season

What team/year I am starved for football 😞

Highs in the 40's around 1 What will the temperature be around 6 to 630

No Idea the 1st season is 5 Months away 5 Month ago we were in a pre-quarantine America Not sure anyone could make a reasonable guess at this point in time

I am wondering how well those 25 degree practices will go (I think we are looking at a ton of pulled muscles and some poor conditioned teams in the early part of the season )

However 7 or 7 would be much easier to get rolling

Same here I really thought he was the logical choice after Mullins stepped down I understand wanting to dot the I's and cross the T's but it could have given him a chance to get plan for the team before everything shut down

I was told that a teaching spot is coming open which could be why they delayed posting the job last month

I was told yesterday that the School board vote this evening is only to advertise for the position. Inside or outside hire that was going to happen before anyone is getting the job SO looks like it will be another Month before anyone is chosen for the job. Dont get me wrong I want RV to make a solid choice but I dont want this to drag into the summer either

Looking at the 4 season page the year before tiller took over Fort Chiswell went 7-3 and lost in the 1 round of the playoffs Tiller year 1 went 0-10 if I remember correct (and I may not) Tiller took over last min as the head coach resigned right befor the season started Tiller year 2 went 9-4 losing the region C Championship game to Galax Tiller year 3 went 7-4 In there 1st year as a AA school loseing to Giles in there 1st playoff game 1st year without Tiller 5-6 loseing in the 1st round of the playoffs vs Radford 2nd year without Tiller 4-6 No playoffs Tiller was only 16-18 in his 3 seasons there but was 16-8 when he had an actual off season to prepare No Idea what type of head coach he would/will make but nothing in his time at Fort Chiswell and his 2 years as an assistant at Ridgeview throws up any red flags to me. As to the timeing as I understand it the Schoolboard had to open up the search last month and will vote this month (Thursday I think) I am sure that whoever has gotten the job (Assuming that a choice has been made) knows already

School board meeting in DC is tomorrow so I figure that if the hire has been decided the vote would be then. The guy we are talking about is Jason Edwards right? I think he was a Haysi Grad other than that i really dont know much about him ie how long has he been coaching and where other than Union ect.
