Is there a rule as to when concussion impact tests have to be done on players? Does the VHSL even require them yearly? Any help is greatly appreciated.
I believe that Jack Ginn's dumba** onside kicks, poor offensive calls, and tendency to place the defense in bad field position will likely be present in the game. While I do think Marion has the talent to compete with Tazewell, I know that Ginn will not utilize it effectively, as he has done throughout his time as coach. When you tell your team football is not supposed to be fun why in the hell would high school boys want to play anymore? There is no way anyone can come to this man's defense as to what he has done with this program. Here's to hoping each team has an injury-free game.
The team has a lot of potential and talent but the coaching staff is non existent.. Chilhowie adjusted when we didn't have a clue after the first quarter.
A first year Coach out coached a so called experienced one. The kids were cramping which shows lack of conditioning. SMH
Ginn has got to go all he is doing is killing this program. The boys have no fun playing for him and I can't blame them. I believe he told them after Chilhowie that he had done all he could to help them or something pretty dang close to that. He's a clown of a coach and cares nothing about this program. IMO the DC should have been given the HC job because he cares about these boys and the program. Now I know this is only my opinion and opinions are like a**holes but I have been a part of this for 2 years now and have seen first hand how the man is. He's ruined not only my son's last 2 years of HS football but all of these boys that love Hurricane football. I wish these boys nothing but the best but with him in charge the future is looking very dismal for MSHS football.
Marion is the laughing stock when it comes to football in SWVA it doesn’t matter who the coach is the program is a dumpster fire and that’s not changing anytime soon
Could you please specify if you are talking about the program as a whole or the people in charge of it. Those boys go out every damn Friday night and give it their all, they can't help what play calls are sent in, what position they have been task to play(some who have never played their position before) because Ginn did not let them try out for positions he just picked where everyone would play, or they fact that he doesn't believe in conditioning or playing guys on both O and D. There are several players who read these threads on here and don't need to hear negative things about their team all the time. Bottom line is we got handed a Coach who if you take away his GVSU time has little to no success anywhere else. I had a player tell me that all Ginn did was talk about coaching college and how great he was and that kid said I just wish he would try and coach us. These kids know they have been handed a raw deal but they go out every week and give it their all. The only way to put out the fire is to get a new Principal, AD, and a coach who cares about this program because I truly believe who we have now do not give one shit about it but we all know that isn't going to happen. I'll leave with this Ginn has said several times in front of parents and players that he isn't here to win games he's here to build character, well the last time I checked winning football games was a pretty big deal.
Was this the same year of the Fries game when Mike Keith scored all 42 of Rich Valley's points? Anyway, that entire '78 team was a special group. Many Marion fans, myself included, always pulled for the Steers.
Yes it was, that was a special year and a special team! In fact Keith got a mention in Sports Illustrated for his performance against Fries. IMO Keith is the greatest all around athlete this county has ever seen and a top 5 in SWVA.
I'm dating myself here but 1978 Rich Valley hosting Parry McCluer for the Region C title, we lost 7-0 in a freaking monsoon that likely cost us the game because it totally took our O out of it. I know what ifs are always everybody's go to but that year was special for our little community and it was awesome to have been a part of it.
Marion has a chance but Ginn will somehow blow it with his dumba** offensive calls he does. I was so excited about this hire but he has wasted some good talent this year by playing boys only on one side of the ball like he's coaching college.
14 years I have been a member and I have never seen anything like I've seen on here lately. This board was my go to back in the day when I lived in Carlisle PA because I was able to still keep up with all the football in good ole SWVA. GMan can't say I would blame you for doing it but I hope it doesn't come to that. No matter what is chosen to be done though thanks for all of these years of having us a place to talk and discuss SWVA sports.
Central hasn’t played a full game of football all years their starters that they decided to keep in the game against Marion where absolutely gassed. If they don’t start getting in game shape ridgeview could walk away with this one in the second half
The only thing I know about Ridgeview is what I have read and heard but I agree Central was gassed against Marion and what surprises me about that is their O got to start 3 scoring drives inside Marion's 35 (if I remember correctly I was too busy bitching about Ginn not punting the ball and making our D play the short field each time) if they got gassed by that and if what I have heard about The View is true they will name the score.
