Losing Christian Ratcliffe really hurts. Talked to his dad today and he said Christian was having surgery on his hand tomorrow. He was the only big threat potential we had on the team. That is Singal A football. But to make a comment that the coaches are more interested in tailgating at a VT game is idiotic. Are they perfect? NO, but they give their time 5 days a week. If you want to bash the kids and the coaches maybe you should go talk to the principal and put in an application if your willing to put in the time!
Whitlock hurts us. He was stepping up and playing well on both sides of the ball. Giles has played a lot better talent and seen a lot more speed the Narrows. I’m not taking anything away from the Wave just stating my opinion. Ratcliffe ran for 144 yards on Graham in first half before he went out. If he is able to play along with Lyles and Vaught I think Giles wins.
It is a true Jv team. There are a few 10th graders on the team. 4 of them was just moved up to the varsity. However yes the 8th graders will be playing with them because of numbers.
The 27 Giles has is junior and senior only with 4 sophomore's. Add in the jv and they have around 50. So sorry Narrows guys they have just as many out as you!!
4. Union (no starting QB, and no way around it, not the same team. It went from a state title contending team to a final 8 team in one play).
5. Richlands
Honorable Mention/Votes: Fort Chiswell, Marion, Narrows. Richlands is still better than all 3 of them.
Graham is the best team in SWVA or at least, in the SWVA Sports coverage area. Graham should have beat Giles by more, but the turnovers and mental toughness thing kept it close. Graham didn't lose to Bluefield, they were outcoached. Graham is 2 touchdowns better than Bluefield and so is Giles. This is why I have Bluefield 3rd. No offense Bluefield fans.
I guess you forgot Giles had two turnovers too, and one of those was int in the end zone. So no I don't think it should of been by more. If Giles gets the one fumble they didn't give them and fields the punt could of been different outcome. First half like the 2nd wouldn't of been a game.
I think # 10 and # 5 are the two best backs Giles have and should be in the backfield together. Giles has to control the line of scrimmage, not allow the qb to run wild and simply not allow cook in space.
