The biggest statement for me is the fact that before we put our JV defense in for Marion's last drive, Wagner had 19 yards. Our D played lights out last night. Even with Wagner getting 79 total yards, the Marion rushing total was just 38 yards. So proud of that defense. I really think the interception on the first play was huge. After Richlands went down and scored, you could see the Marion players body language change.
 
Congrats to Marion on a great season! Nothing to hang your head at. Those boys played hard until the final whistle. Glad I got to chat with Canes and 2dalejrfanz. Always enjoy talking to those two guys. Sucks Hurricane got stuck at work and was late.

Let it rip Canes! His comments does not reflect most of us at all. You guys are a class act and we appreciate the kind words.

That's just a frustrated coach. Don't look into it. If that interview was taken this morning, I doubt he says those things. Just frustration in the heat of the moment.

Hey man it's fans like you that piss me off I think a lot of his comments was out of frustration over how the game was going the refs didn't cost the canes this game richlands beat us fair and square. I don't usually let comments bother me to much on here but this one did why don't u grow up a little or how bout grow up a lot.

I know the Lee Generals are tough and I am glad they are in the playoffs, BUT I believe Coach Williams and staff are going to have the Spartans firing on all cylinders for this game.  I love listening to the train horn and the Giles faithful will be cheering loudly, in-force for their team Saturday.  Plan on listening on the net to this game.   Going with the Spartans for the win.!!!

GO GILES SPARTANS!!!

Yes they have isles Tbgfan. I agree with all you said also. Ryan and I will be there supporting our Blues and doing some friendly " verbal jousting" with Canes and Hurricane...lol

Well I have been waiting all week to see everybody else's predictions on this game and so far I have only seen two which is very unusual as far as a score goes. I think its great to see a Marion football team come from the middle of the pack for years and be one of the top three teams in 2A West. What a great job! I almost feel bad in predicting a Richlands win because I have so much respect for my friends Canes and Hurricane but if I know them as good as I think I do, they will have no problem predicting Marion in this one...lol.
 
I know it sounds old and what everybody else says but its true here. When you have two very good teams playing each other "Home Field" advantage comes into play of course but it normally comes down to the team that plays fundamentally sound with their individual assignments with blocking and tackling. Then there is the big factors of turnovers and penalties. I truly believe the team that wins those areas will win the game. I look for it to go down to the last possession of the game. I think Richlands has benefitted from being in so many tough and hard fought close games this year and has been on both sides of the outcome.
 
I personally think this could very easily be a low scoring game. I just think there are to many playmakers on both teams for that to happen. I believe both teams are very good on defense also so that's why I have struggled to predict a score. I wish both teams good luck and hope its decided on the field amongst the young men giving it all they have!!!!!
 
Richlands - 27
Marion - 24 

The hard part about King Kone is to catch them open. 

yeah boy nothing like that greasy brown bag full of goodness 

^^^^^ This times 182,570,270,286,473.

Hey Canes and Hurricane......how about an update on what Marion is working on this week ? Types of formations, trick plays and the keys to stopping Wagner and Lefler....lol

I need more popcorn. Or some stripes jerky.

If you use an "8" instead of the sound "ate" there does not need to be a "T" on the end. Gr8 is ok, gr8t makes you sound like you have a speech impediment.

They're so fast we'll never see them.

"off topic but... GC girls volleyball improves to 29-0 beats Luray 3-0 and are in the state championship game Saturday... GOOO BIG BLUE!"
 
Yeah...great volleyball match tonight. Packed gym. The girls played pretty well. I think the scores were 25-14, 25-20, and 25-9. The most impressive 2A team I remember seeing. 
 
Hate having GC football and volleyball both playing on Saturday. Had planned on making the trip to Richmond, but guess I'll stay in GC and watch the 4.2 speed of Buckingham. 

Just come on to Marion. Haha. :)

Aw son, you need a lesson as to racial demographics in SWVA.
 
That's the only decipherable thing I took from your posts. The rest reads like someone let a monkey bash a keyboard against a rock at a zoo.

You won't make it on this board until Saturday. Hahaha. Nice having you.

And I thought only Tazewell/Richlands, Graham/Bluefield, or games of that rivalry got the smack talk going that much!

If Richlands isn't on that schedule already, then there no reason why they should be having a hard time. Lol. I'm sure we would drop LB for a Ridgeview series.

Nobody understands that..was that a sentence?
